Dr Jeckylls Beer Lab

My husband and I love this local craft beer joint. They are constantly building and improving the space, but the craft beer selection never fails. The owners/​staff are extremely knowledgable about all of the beers and will guide you in the right direction. You can’t beat the prices! You can bring in take out food from your favorite place. The staff personalities and knowledge and beer selection keep us coming back week after week. *dog friendly too!

40 beers on tap. Enough said. You don’t come here for the atmosphere, you come here for the beer.

The space could be a lot more inviting, but I give it 4 stars because they have a great selection (dozens) of beers on tap and the staff is friendly. I really like their sampling process, too. They give you little sample cups and you get to pick different beers to go inside of each cup. Once you finish sampling, simply pick your favorite for a full-​sized pour. Very cool ! All-​in-​all, not a bad spot to while away a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon.

I love this place for the fact that it has a quite environment and full of people that love beer. Free snacks. 40 beers on tap. What else you need to be the
.

Wow, so last time I was here it looked like they were a homebrew shop on its last leg. Boxes everywhere, jumbled homebrew gear strewn about, an empty room… I literally bought some bottle caps thinking I might be their final customer.
Then I hear they’re still open. What?
And that they’re a bar now, too. What?
And they’re serving micro and filling growlers. WHAT?!
Say it ain’t so. I made it over and this weird little spot has a freshly constructed bar with a buncha taps of excellent beer. Like, really good beer. 4 nitro taps… WHAT. Could this really be the same place? It is, folks.
In my one outing, I tried more and better beer than I’ve had in a couple months. In fact, a dude at Grapevine Beer & Wine suggested I buy Prairie’s Bomb! beer a few days after I hit up Jeckylls. I said I liked it, that I’d had it the other day on tap. «On tap?» he questioned. Apparently that’s unheard of… Prairie’s Bomb! on tap. Yet there it flowed, at Jeckylls, in all of its absurdly high ABV glory.
Great beer. Warm and inviting ‘tenders. An indoor deck built simply to throw darts. It really may be that dream of a small place near home that just pours great beer. Let the others remain subservient to ostentation, I like standing on fresh plywood with tasty beer throwing pointy things.

What a fun new bar in Pantego who would have thought. I was invited to Dr Jeckylls Beer Lab by Ted (see his review) he really likes the bar and said we need to come by. This is a great place to try new flavors and types of beers they have a very large variety. And the bar tender is very helpful on types of beer they serve and what kind of beer you may want. Plus he will give you a sample. The beer lab also has product to make your own beer not sure how that works need to talk with the employees. I will let them make the beers I will just drink them.
The bar is small but there is still plenty of room for sitting or standing around. They have a dart board for passing some time, and T.V.‘s. And I heard they are going to expand one day. This place need people to come in and have a drink Pantego needs this bar.

This place is amazing! 40 draft brews, all delicious, that you can take to go in a growler. So cool!

This place is a home brewers heaven. We stopped by with a group of Unilocalers. Thanks to them for showing me this gem. There’s not a lot to look at but they have good brews to offer and their bathroom is clean. I loved it! If ever I’m in town, this would be on the list to visit to have a pint or two.

What the what. When Ted told me that Dr. Jeckylls was now also a bar, I was like, «no way!» The space just didn’t seem like it’d ever have a «come in and stay awhile» sort of atmosphere. Before, it was a simple yet pretty messy brewery store. Grains all over the place, tons of random product, nothing new or shiny. A very sort of hole-​in-​the-​wall, rustic, get what you need with no bells and whistles, kind of store!
Now, there’s totally a bar in here with a ton of unique, craft, and local beer on tap! Still no bells and whistles, but cozy and welcoming. The store-​aspect has remained the same and the bar itself is very plain, but it’s ultra-​comfortable and totally focused on the beer. The bartender, Duane, was super nice and knew a lot about beer, of course. He was great at offering suggestions AND he showed me how to properly throw a dart! Thanks the gods because I was using my entire arm and today my shoulder is definitely sore. Sad.
A couple dart boards, a small wooden stage area in the corner for local musicians to play. One cider — Bishop (from Dallas) — on draft for anyone who can’t drink/doesn’t like beer. Woohoo!

I’ve only been here a few times to check out the recently added draft beers on tap, I don’t do any home brewing, so I can’t comment on that part of the business.
Nice enough place inside. Not to big, about 10 – 12 seats at bar, several tables along the walls.
Didn’t do a firm count on beer taps, but figure around 20 or so? Probably more, seems like the marker board menu out front had more than that listed.
What I noticed, they seem to be going for the more «informed» craft beer drinker, instead of what I see as the «casual» craft beer drinker. Menu had quite a few I’d never heard of, and was missing some of the usual brands you’ll see at a lot of draft beer bars. First place I’ve seen that had Panther Island brewery on tap. First place I’ve seen that had a sour beer on tap, from a brewery I’d never heard of.
Nice place. Seems like a good place to try a few off the grid beers you might not find many other places. Like your neighborhood bar, just not liquor. Pretty relaxed, but maybe sometimes a little too much. My only nit picking is that if someone is filling growlers, they don’t really worry about you standing there for however long it takes, even if they have multiple growlers to fill for a person who is still making up their mind. It would be no big deal to take less than a minute to get someone’s draft order, pour a beer, then go back to the growler refills.

See you there for a pint or a growler fill. Local favorite.

If you are looking for a local brew shop in the mid cities, you found it. This place has been around for a while, which shows. They are here to help the local brewer get started are to keep going.
They have a large selection of grains, hops, and yeast. Not only for beer, but for wine as well.
The staff is extremely knowledgeable and a wealth of information.

I first heard of Dr Jackll’s as, «the place to go for home brew supplies in Arlington.» Since I don’t brew my own beer I was never in a hurry to check it out. Recently, they have added a bar with plenty craft taps. They also fill growlers!
Naturally, I had to get over there and see how the selection was. My plan was to have a beer while checking out the choices. But when you find your favorite beer, that is not sold is stores, you have to leave with a growler. I left with Velvet Hammer!
They don’t appear to want to compete with the other local bars. It looks like they are positioning themselves to be a growler fill station where you can sit down and sample a few first. However, they do have bar seating, booth seating, and a dart board on the wall. So it could work just like a bar if you enjoy quality beer without the crowds and smokiness of regular bars.
The bartender was very knowledgeable. I imagine he would be able to tell you how to make your favorite beer. After all, they do have the supplies. I may not be able to resist the urge if I keep going back to this place.
I really hope Arlington can sustain a market for this place. It really is quite special for the area.

In addition to homebrew supplies, they have opened a new phase of their business. In November 2014 they installed 40 craft beer taps and are currently the only growler filling station in the Pantego, Dalworthington Gardens, Arlington area. They offer many craft beers from the area, around the country and the world. They have not abandoned the homebrew part of their business, they’ve just expanded into other areas. Yeah Beer.

Great shop for the homebrewer/​wine-​maker/​enthusiast of all skill levels.
They stock a wide variety of grains, adjuncts, hops, additives and kits. The service is top-​notch and they’ll happily answer any and all questions.
If you’ve ever kicked around the idea of wanting to make beer, wine, cider or mead, do yourself a favor and visit these guys. They’ll get you started on the right path.

Very nice place. Everything you need to make your own beer. I’ve been interested in making Gluten free beer for some time .They also have classes how to make & brew it. Great looking bottle & labels .Cant wait.

The staff was friendly. They have a free wine making class on Saturdays. They had most of the things we needed to make wine.
The address has changed to 2420 W Park Row. It’s just a bit further down across the street from Aldi’s.

Complete — they have everything for the homebrewer
Came by here the other day with my friend Ted who likes to brew craft brews at home. This place is great, they have everything you need from hops to barley to yeast… and the guy that runs the shop is very very helpful. He has recipe books to help figure out what you need and kits if you want to go that route as well. If you need home brew equipment they have this as well. This is a one stop shop for the homebrewer.

I’m a fan. The address is actually 2420 and the daughter-​in-​law of the owners Pat & Marot was helpful. I asked if she recommended champagne yeast to make a non-​alcoholic ginger ale, and she responded with positivity and enthusiasm to go grab the yeast. She also mentioned they just moved to make way for the first beer/​wine store to open in Pantego that they’ll also own. Can’t wait to go back after learning more online first. They had plenty of pre-​packaged kits and hops/​barley/​grains in bulk.
Go check ‘em out. Support LOCAL.

Dr. Jeckyll’s is run by a bearded man named Pat. He’s great. He’s knowledgeable. He’s friendly. He only gives you a couple weird looks when your recipe list has something outlandish or dumb. If you want help, he’s more than willing. If you don’t want help, he won’t pester you.
Grain, hop, and yeast selection is fantastic. It’s not as big as a couple other places, but it’s well-​stored and still comprehensive enough to get you through most beers. Sometimes he can get you other stuff in the next order.
Pretty good selection of sixers and singles will get you something to drink for the brew day.
Equipment selection has everything I’ve ever needed. I can’t think of anything he doesn’t have that you would need for a five gallon batch.
In addition to beer supplies, he also carries wine and coffee supplies. I don’t make wine or roast coffee, so I can’t speak to its quality, but if it’s anything like the beer supplies, he’s got you covered.
