Final Verdict
Scrapyard Brewing Co has built a strong identity in Kolkata by combining three things that work particularly well together: craft beer, food and ambience.
Its biggest advantage is the setting. The rooftop views, city skyline, multiple seating areas, brewery atmosphere and live entertainment make it much more than an ordinary restaurant. Recent customer reviews repeatedly highlight the rooftop experience, especially in the evening.
The food menu is another major strength. Unlike some breweries where food is limited to snacks, Scrapyard offers a surprisingly broad selection covering Indian, Asian, Italian, Continental and bar food. The current menu includes everything from Chili Chicken Tangra Style and Mutton Biryani to Spaghetti, Risotto, Quesadillas, prawns, kebabs and desserts.
Seafood lovers are particularly well served, with options such as Chili Garlic Butter Prawn, Shantung Prawn, Cilantro Fish and Crispy Fried Squid.
The in-house brewery is, of course, the other major attraction. The official hospitality group specifically highlights Scrapyard's microbrewery, signature cocktails and in-house brewery blends.
Pricing is relatively reasonable considering the experience. Depending on the outlet, current listings put the approximate cost for two around ₹1,500–₹2,000, although drinks can push the bill considerably higher.
The main weakness is consistency. Although many customers praise the food, service and ambience, some recent reviews complain about food quality, loud music and staff behaviour.
So, is Scrapyard Brewing Co worth visiting?
Yes—especially if you enjoy craft beer, rooftop dining and lively evenings.
For couples, friends, office groups and party lovers, Scrapyard offers an appealing combination of food, drinks, music and city views.
If you're visiting for the first time, the best approach is to arrive around sunset, choose rooftop seating, try an in-house beer and order a few sharing dishes. This gives you the opportunity to experience the restaurant at its best.
Overall, Scrapyard Brewing Co is a strong choice for anyone looking for craft beer, good food, rooftop ambience and Kolkata nightlife in one destination.
