Pompano’s 26° Brewing Co. Adds Food—Really Good Food

26° Brewing Co. in Pompano Beach has always been one of my favorite Broward County breweries for one simple reason: the beer. Thing was, if you wanted something to eat, you’d be carrying a takeout container of wings across the parking lot from the Flanigan’s next door—something I’ve done more than a couple times.
Later this month, though, the brewery will relaunch as 26° Brewery & Kitchen, adding a full food menu created by Miami chef Danny Serfer—the guy behind Blue Collar and Mignonette, and someone who knows how to cook things people actually want to eat after two IPAs.
The 6,000-square-foot space still looks like a brewery (thankfully), but now there’s a kitchen pumping out crispy hot-sauce-brined gator bites, Irish bangers swimming in stout gravy, and a roast beef/oxtail dip sandwich that sounds like it was engineered for day-drinking. There’s also a Bahamian conch salad for people who want to feel like they’re back in Freeport and a shepherd’s pie-ish pot pie made with lamb and mashed potatoes that nods to the Irish roots of executive chef Fergus Conneely, who’s running the kitchen day to day.
“We wanted the food to be as good as the beer,” co-owner Yonathan Ghersi said. “And we wanted it to actually pair well, not just be an afterthought.”
The beer is still front and center, Ghersi says, with core options like IPA1A and Ziko’s Rage, plus rotating seasonal things with names like Guarapita Passion Fruit Sour and Cinnamon Toasted Red Ale.
If you’re wondering, yes, you can still hang on the patio. No, they didn’t go full gastropub. It still feels like a brewery—just now, one that has dinner.
The official kitchen launch is mid-April, but a limited menu is already available. You can find them at 2600 E. Atlantic Blvd. in Pompano Beach. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 3 to 9 p.m.; Friday until 10 p.m.; weekends from noon. More info at 26brewing.com or on the ‘gram at @26brewing.
