Rockwell is a great spot to kick back with the whole family in Frederick.

You can thank Frederick’s budding craft brewing community for this little gem.  Located in historic Downtown Frederick, Rockwell Brewery brews all their beer onsite and offers a bit of something for everyone regardless of your individual beer palate. When you visit, you'll have your choice of enjoying your drink in the cozy interior tasting room or an open space, outdoor patio. The interior tasting room is beautiful but popular. We recommend that families visit on a day that will allow them to take advantage of the outdoor patio as it's the most kid-friendly seating choice. Regardless of where you sit, be sure to try one of the beer flights to truly appreciate the breadth of Rockwell’s offerings.  Rockwell also offers a well-stocked board game shelf where patrons can borrow a game to pass the time. 

Make sure you show up hungry.  Although Rockwell doesn’t have its own kitchen, it does have the good fortune of sharing a parking lot with Family Meal, a member of the Bryan Voltaggio family of restaurants.  Rockwell proudly partners with Family Meal to serve some of their more pub-friendly fare (one of my favorite burgers, hands down, is included on the menu). Maybe you’ve seen Bryan on Top Chef… or Top Chef Masters.  Either way, go check out his offerings in the excellent company of some top-shelf craft beer by true masters who love their craft. Rockwell also allows patrons to bring their own food or order out from one of the many local delivery options.
