Let’s head into downtown Springfield and roll right into one of the city’s most iconic breweries—Springfield Brewing Co. Not only do they serve a stellar lineup of house-made beers, but they’ve also got a pretzel that’s pure magic. The Brew Co Pretzel is served with Blue Canoe Pale Ale mustard and 417 Lager smoked cheddar cheese dip—talk about the best of both worlds.
Address: 305 S. Market Ave., Springfield
Georgia Mac’s
Looking for a place that treats you like family, has plenty of TVs for watching every game, and serves up an incredible soft pretzel with cheese? Georgia Mac’s delivers. Their warm, pillowy pretzels are served with freshly made house cheese sauce that hits the spot every time. Pro tip: Order a drink and try the deviled egg flight while you're at it—you won’t regret it.

Before and After Brewery
The creative team at B&A could have just said, “Here’s a pretzel with cheese,” and called it a day. But oh no, my friends—they took this classic and leveled it all the way up. The Loaded Pretzel with Cheese comes topped and paired with shredded cheddar, house beer cheese, pulled pork, pickled red onions, pickled jalapeños, roasted poblano sauce, and house mustard. Smoky pulled pork, tangy mustard, and crunchy pickled toppings make this one of the most elevated pretzels in the area.

Dublin’s Pass American Eatery and Irish Pub
It’s time to belly up to the bar, order a pint of Guinness, and enjoy a salty snack! The warm, salted pretzel breadsticks at Dublin’s Pass are served with their creamy house queso and are perfect for dipping. Want to satisfy your sweet tooth too? Don’t skip the dessert pretzels—tossed in cinnamon sugar and served with caramel whipped cream. Both cravings: cured.
