Nazareth: Birthright Brewing Company (December 2019)



My spouse and I visited Birthright Brewing Company for lunch on a Saturday afternoon in mid-December 2019. Birthright is open on Thursdays through Mondays (closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays). Reservations are generally not accepted, except for large parties. Parking is available on the street at meters.

Birthright Brewing Company opened in February 2018 in the space formerly occupied by the Nazareth Run Inn and also by part of the Nazareth Furniture store. The front of the main space features an open kitchen with a pizza oven. The middle part of the main room contains a long bar with high-top tables adjacent; the tables are particularly unique because they are made of huge saw blades affixed to the tops of bourbon barrels. The rear of the main space is dominated by the facility’s brewing tanks. A side room offers overflow dining at regular-height tables, some of which are on a slightly raised platform near the large front windows; this side room also contains some games, including table shuffleboard, mini pool table, and large Jenga. Décor includes concrete flooring, exposed brick walls, and metal and wood decorative accents. 

Birthright serves upscale yet casual cuisine. As a starter, we shared the pork belly tacos (one of the daily specials), followed by a pizza (chicken, spinach, red peppers, pesto, arugula, and parmesan) and the “Mac Attack” (pasta, cheese, bacon, and bread crumbs). The restaurant does not offer dessert, but our server recommended an ice cream shop across the street. Birthright offer non-alcoholic drinks (soda, seasonal iced tea) in addition to six of their own beers and two options from guest breweries. 

We enjoyed our lunch at Birthright Brewing Company; the service was good and the food was tasty.
