Every beer lover finds his way to taste what's there in the whole beer scene. TJ's beers are great. I loved whatever they offered. The beer was great. The service was a bit slow but that is acceptable considering the beer they offered.
Good amazing place...........
Food was very good tast for pizza....
Polity staff.... ..great service in amanora town center ..must visit with friends and family ....
The best place inside Amanora if only they were to run it properly!
The good things abour TJ's are:
1. Great fresh beer, the dark beer is the best I've had in Pune.
2. Amazing Indian food, at par with the best anywhere in Pune.
3. Great outdoor seating, specifically during monsoons.
Lousy aspects are:
1. The place doesn't seem to have enough staff to serve customers promptly.
2. They just can't attract enough customers for whatever reasons.
Overall a great place for beer & food. Hope they can fix the cons.
Well good experience after reopen . Since I was coming to tjs from last 3yrs. Yesterday I came first time after reopen and it was my pleasure to meet one of the old staaf Anthony. As he knows us very well because we are regular customer to this restaurant . And he gives us vip treatment and he ends us with the complementary desert. I think this place will go up soon . I want to say special thanks to Anthony and the management..😄 thankyou...
Loved this place..ambience was good..with indoor n outdoor seating..their craft beers are too good..if you don't know which one to have..just order the beer tasters where you can try all of their craft beers..i personally loved the apple cider n devils dark..also tried a beer cocktail melo weiss which was nice..tried the gunpowder fries ,potato wedges n chicken bucket with fries which was good..service was good..must must visit :)
Great place for a refreshing beer! Many options to choose from, but sometimes all brews are not available. Pretty tailored offers to fall into the economical category. Must try out when in Pune. Humble and courteous staff add up to give you a pleasant experience.
Stopped by on a Friday night. nice outdoor seating in evening. Staff was extraordinarily friendly and explained available beers had available. Only 3 at time of review - sadly - as they had just reopened after remodeling. However of those 3 - wit nicely done, barley unique even if not my style and German wheat was excellent.
Food ordered a mix of veg and non veg. Nachos were meh - had many better. Peanut mix (can’t remember name) was excellent, as was cooked chicken and paneer we ordered for group. Good 1+1 specials and honored Zomato Gold without much fuss - thank you!
Only reason not a 5 - no dance floor + limited draught varieties. Will revisit if they additional brews become available
TJ's Brew Works, one of the pioneers of Craft Beer at Pune, is back serving its fabulous brews again. This place has the live music/ events/ offers going on throughout the week and the vibe is simply electrifying. One of these weekends I was there with a group of friends and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. That day @Aryaendra was belting down the coldplay numbers with amazing flair and an enviable burst of energy, the atmosphere was truly immersive.
I tried all the 7 craft beer variants on tap, and I couldn't find a fault with any of the brews. They were all classics in their own brewing zone:
Pale Gale: A rare Pale Ale which has the perfect balance of hops and malt. It wasn't a hopbomp exactly but still the aroma of hops was pretty dominant. Flavours from the malt were shining through, so despite being an Ale it was not high on IBUs.
Mystery: WoW, Just WoW. This one had tropical fruity notes and was kind of zesty on palate with some flavourful hops infused for the aroma, finishing notes were minty fresh. Looked unassuming with its pale yellow appearance but was a very pleasurable brew, extremely sessionable indeed.
Devil's Dark: A Dark Ale with strong notes of Coffee and bitter dark Chocolate. It was exactly a full bodied stout sans the creamy mouthfeel. Amazing choice for the people who prefer dark beers over lagers, wits and ciders.
Blonde: It was good, it was refreshing and it was everything a lager should be. Had the perfect balance of moderate hops and malt. Easy to drink and had a decent head. The finish was drier than the mystery brew.
Coffee Porter: Star Brew !!! Certainly the best of the lot that TJ's brewmasters produce. Vanilla and Coffee notes with a steady head, it can give any stout/ porter in town a run for its money.
Zein Weiss: TJ's twist on the good old Hefeweizen. A delightful brew indeed. This one has the citrusy profile with the coriander and pepper notes. A perfect companion for the hotter days on horizon.
Apple Cider: A dryish cider, not too sweet. Wasn't the most sparkling cider that you will come across but the use of premium apples give it a remarkable flavour. Nice overall.
In food we tried a whole range of Indian & Oriental Starters, pick of the lot were:
* Prawns (Huge Sized) in Hot Garlic Sauce: Lipsmackingly good. Freshness of prawns was shining through in taste despite the tossing in spicy sauces.
* Chicken Pahadi Kebab: The smokiest tandoori kebab that I have ever had. A 'Must Have' at TJ's !!!
* Beer Braised Chicken: What an accompaniment to the lovely brews. Tangy, Spicy and the Chicken with that lovely bite. #PerfectionOnPlate
* Tandoori Mushrooms: Smokey, Spicey and very well done !!!
* Fish Finger with Tartare Sauce: Despite a thicker coating fish had not lost its flavours. Crusty outside and perfectly soft inside, just the way fish fingers should be. Tartare sauce was an able ally here, tasted amazing on its own too.
In mains we tried:
Thai Green Curry (Chicken): It was one of the best thai curries I have had in recent past. No owerpowering flavours, absolutely the right curry consistency, sweet and spicy in equal measure. Ample chicken pieces with fair share of exotic veggies.
Chicken Biryani: Not the dum variant but the incredibly fragrant and well spiced version. Chicken was cooked to the melt in mouth consistency and the generous dose of birista gave it just the right tinge of sweetness.
Pasta Arrabiatta: Failed to make the cut with me. It was decent but not great, I have had better.
Veg Pizza with Exotic Toppings: This was a cracker of a Pizza, had a thin and sustainable crispy crust despite being loaded with cheese and toppings. Tried another version which was having toppings sauteed in oriental sauces, it was spicy and legit delish.
We skipped the sweet treats as we were stuffed to the hilt by the end of this blissful food soirée, but I would urge all of you to keep some space for the decadent desserts this place has on offer.
Cheers. Ciao !!!
Amazing hospitality, great taste, fish fingers are scrumptious, classic margarita Pizza- a must try. Plus the politeness of the staff. This place has got vibes. Great place to hangout with your homies!!

If you are in Amanora mall, this place is a must visit if you love crafted beers and need to spend the day in a laid back environment. The interiors and wooden furnishings contribute to a antique but an elegant view. They even have an area where you can see the brewery in action.
The bar menu consists of decent variety of in house brewed beers as well as other alcoholic drinks and mocktails. The food menu is also quite vast consisting of bites, mains as well as burgers and pastas. They have an ongoing goan fest, where delicacies of Goa have been incorporated in the menu.
Coming to the food we tried:
- Gunpowder Fries: Basically french fries sprinkled with a spicy and tangy flavoured spice (named gunpowder). Unique taste, far better than the original french fries.
- TJ's Onion Rings: Onion rings crusted in spent grain served with a barbeque sauce. The rings were perfectly crisp and crunchy. Good option if you are looking for something to have your beer with.
- Fettucini Alfredo: White sauce pasta cooked in cheese sauce alongwith fresh seasonal vegetables. The chessy flavour was a bit insignificant, but the veggies made it satisfactory.
- Prawns Calamari: Prawns in chickpea batter deep fried and served with a green chutney. Basically prawns pakora. The texture of prawns alongside the mint chutney gave it a distinct taste.
- Thai style Chilli Chicken: Chicken marinated in thai spices and cooked in chilli garlic sauce. Tender chicken pieces with a spicy flavour makes it a must try.
- Tandoori Mushroom: I not a mushroom fan, but I must say this dish did impress me. Mushroom marinated in tandoori spices and yogurt gave it a refreshing new taste. Definitely recommended.
- Goan Fish Curry: Fish cooked in a coconut based spicy red chilli curry. The fish was perfectly cooked and soft enough to break on touch. Though I felt the flavour of coconut bit overpowering, the gravy did taste great with steamed rice.
- Chicken Vindaloo: Vindaloo basically is a part of portuguese cuisine which means meat marinated in vinegar, garlic and wine. This dish is known for its tangy and spicy flavour. Chicken pieces were succelent and the gravy complimented well with butter naan. Must try if ypu love spicy things.
- Blackout: A delectable contrivance of dark chocolate cake topped with dark chocolate sauce. Perfect way to end to a meal gratified.
Overall a must try place if you are looking for a brewery with good food and a great ambience.
I went here to meet up with some friends. Initially we went in thinking it was some coffee brewery (haha I know!) but never the less, since it had cricket match streaming, we decided to settle down.
So this place is located in Amanora mall.
The infrastructure was not very well maintained I must say. The sofas were torn, the air condition was not working. Later the owner came and told us that they have some renovation going on and they are revamping the place.
We then ordered our beverages and food.
We ordered the TJ's Pale Gale Ale which is a beer and it was pretty good. They have those tap beers over there which was pretty amazing and they took out the froth and refilled the beer 3-4 times before serving us which was appreciable. Then we ordered a blue lagoon which was again a nice vodka based cocktail. In mocktail we ordered a November sea breeze which had a nice fruity taste but the quantity was less. It was filled more with the ice.
In food we went for Fish and chips which was served with a mayo sauce and my friends say it was well made and tasted good. I ordered paneer chilly there. It was on an expensive end but the quantity was worth it. It tasted really good. The only con was there were more veggies compared to paneer.
All in all we had a good time over there. They are going to start a new from 22nd June I think. You can revisit then. They are going to change their entire menu too it seems.
A good place to have fresh drinks. The interiors are really good and attracts on first notice. Been here for very first time and staff suggested very good combos to try. We had Pale gale ale and tried different coolers. As a first time experience it was really good.
The quantity of food is average and so as taste. Very economic place. Slow and soothing music and comfortable sitting arrangements.
One of the best place in Pune for Brewed Beer. I liked their Dark beer alot. Their Risotto is nice and yummy. Recently visited this place again and got to know that risotto is out of menu and Girish (owner) is planning to launch few more Breweries and pizzas after or on 28 May 2017. I am Excited
Lovely place to grab crafted beer, TJ is the place for alcohol connoisseur. Nice ambience with soothing music. You don't see this much crowded all the time, so one can sit back and enjoy for hours together.
