Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company, based in Croydon, made USA TODAY’s list of best bars in the country.
The USA TODAY Bars of the Year 2026 list, released July 29, features 38 bars from dives to high-end cocktail bars.
“Back in the earlier days we were specifically focused on live music, usually punk rock, the world the founders came from. It was kind of a natural fit to bring that to the brewery. And that was part of our brand,” CEO Kyle Park said.
“As more breweries started opening up, we wanted to figure out what we could do to make us a little more different. We branched out to do these themed events to capture different niche interests. We started thinking of ourselves as a brewery for misfits.”
2026 Bars of the Year
Why Neshaminy Creek Brewing was named one of the best bars
Neshaminy Creek Brewing was chosen because its taprooms are more than just a space to enjoy the latest drafts on tap. With a focus on building community, the brewery reaches beyond beer lovers by catering to counterculture and other niche interests through events like Creek-i-Tiki Luau and Pickle Palooza.
