Norsemen Brewing Company

Went in for Trivia night with some new friends. The place was far from busy. Only 2 wait staff. Sat for over 30min before she came to our table to get a drink order. Upon asking for a glass of wine, she informs me they have no wine or mead, how does a place like this run out of these staples? I decide I will just have water. I then make an order for stuffed shrimp. She says one sec, and goes to the kitchen. She then returns and tells me they are out of this food order as well. What are the coincidences... I overhear other individuals at other tables ordering othe dishes and are also told they are out. My impression is they only make soo many of each dish at the beginning of a set time period, and force patrons to only order what is still available. The atmosphere of the place was less themed or as prevalent as I expected. It honestly seemed like a place that had been open for 30+ years and seemed incredibly run down. I highly recommend thinking twice about going to this location for any reason. I know it's Topeka and EVERYTHING is poor and rundown, but this is not the place to "settle" on.

Good beer, nice atmosphere. Spacious seating area. Food is not typical bar food, but my family enjoys it. Brunch on Sunday's is also very good.

We sampled all the great beer offerings. Service was fantastic, food was really good, great location and access to parking. We'll be returning, can't believe we waited this long to visit. 2nd visit was not as good. Kettle had been down so beer offerings were limited. The bartender was the star of the show as most of us switched to mixed drinks. Waitress was having a bad day, or life, not sure which. Food was still good, just not as good as the original experience. Parking: ample parking out back, street is getting some work done in front.

Norsemen Brewing in Topeka, Kansas, is a great local place for great beer, and creative eats. The Shield Maiden stands out as a refreshing choice for those seeking a lighter beer, characterized by its crisp taste and smooth finish. On the other hand, the Odin's IPA captures my taste buds with its bold and robust flavors, making it a personal favorite. The brewery's commitment to quality and diverse offerings makes it a must-visit for beer enthusiasts. This is definitely a great stop if touring the growing brew scene of Topeka!

Everything about this places is delicious

I didn't have a chance to try the food but the Odin's eye was delicious, the bartender was great and the atmosphere was fabulous.

Good atmosphere, but We were sadly disappointed, we waited for more than an hour to be told our food order never went through the ticket system. They offered a discount and to put a rush on our food, which was just our appetizers at this point, after 10 mins I asked if they had an estimate because we had a concert to get to, our waitress told us that it could not be done in 20 minutes. We got a sorry from her and we had to leave without eating. We ordered the hummus plate and coconut shrimp for Apps, we did not think that it was unreasonable to get those quickly, our menus were taken before we could order a full meal which was never offered.

Awesome brunch food on Sunday morning and great service.
