Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

95%
Excellent

Honestly, walking into The Explorium Brewpub Third Ward feels like finding the holy grail for celiacs who miss that classic brewpub experience. With one of the owners living with celiac and leading the charge on safety, you can practically taste the peace of mind—every fryer is dedicated gluten-free, and nearly every menu item (hello, cheese curds and fish fry!) is safe for our crowd. Their commitment to gluten-removed beer (and even lab testing to verify it) is a rare find, especially in a setting where you can finally raise a pint without second-guessing. Sure, communication with staff is still key—double-check those croutons!—but if you’ve ever longed for fried comfort food and real beer in a lively, welcoming spot, this place truly delivers.
