21 Best Craft Breweries near Queens

“After coming here for years, I still think it's a cool local brewery tap room with plenty of indoor/outdoor seatings.Tons of offerings on tap. Most are good. Sours are usually on the creamy and sweet side, good for a pint.Food truck is still there most days, with the occasional kitchen pop-ups (follow their Instagram for updates).I must say, staff is a hit or miss though. Most are very nice and friendly, but some are kinda eh.“

“Huge airplane hangar of a brewery and taproom. Lots of beers on tap that run the gamut of tastes and styles. There's a lot of active stuff happening around here and you can really get lost in the enormous culture surrounding this place. Small food plates are available and they seem to have food pop-ups as well. The other night I had a pizza during happy hour that cost a mere ten dollars. What a steal!“

“Really good beer and a great place to chill with friends and the kids. Food place is good but vegan but tastes really good and it has a bit of a kick. You can bring food from outside so do that if you want to eat something you like, there is a Chinese place across the street and a pizza spot.Will come back again when we come to NYC.“

“Dog friendly, plus a great place to throw a party! I came for a friend's birthday party in the tasting room, which is spacious and so cute. Vanessa was our dedicated staff in the tasting room and she was on top of it. Even outside of parties, the brewery is a great place to hang out, with tons of seating both indoors and outdoors and lots of games. There's a great variety of beers, wines, and cocktails, so there's something for everyone. I personally loved the John Blaze, perfect for anyone who likes citrusy IPAs, and the sparkling riesling.“

“My wife and I were on the end of a long trip through the US leaving via NYC. We’d done the sightseeing in NYC before, so I had a couple of breweries picked out to relax and chill. Rockaway popped up in my research as a must do. Really thankful for Ben’s hospitality and enthusiasm as he talked us through all the brews that were currently on tap. I pretty much went through the tap list minus a couple of dark beers (which I’m not normally a fan of anyway) and every drop was excellent, highlights were the Hawaiian Pizza IPA which (Ben said this was a customer favourite and I can see why) and the Koji Kid sour colab with Japanese brewer Choryo Brewery. Before we left, a customer came in with a best boy so we scored some puppy pats as the icing on the cake. Dog friendly breweries are always a winner.“

“Went here for the pokemon show called Poke Ebbs hosted by sasuke zilla. The place was very clean and spacious the event was nice and amazing and had a great crowd. Zilla told us about the food where we ordered the chicken sandwich and it was very scrunches. Best food I've had in awhile ! Def come here for dinner and a good time !! Steve was also so nice ! Greatest bar tender in the world !“

“KCBC Brewery stands out as a beacon for beer aficionados, boasting an expansive space that instantly welcomes you with its warm and inviting vibe. The sheer size of the place allows for a diverse crowd, from casual drinkers to serious hop heads, all finding their niche in this vibrant atmosphere. The selection of beers is nothing short of amazing, with each brew showcasing the craftsmanship and passion of its creators. From rich, robust stouts to crisp, refreshing lagers, there's something for every palate. The vibe is lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day or kickstart a night out with friends.However, there's a catch—KCBC's focus is solely on their brews, meaning snack options are non-existent. While this might be a slight downside for those looking to pair their pint with a quick bite, the quality and variety of the beers on offer more than make up for it. It encourages guests to immerse themselves fully in the tasting experience, perhaps even prompting a visit to local eateries before or after. In essence, KCBC Brewery is a must-visit for its exceptional beers and the nice vibe it offers, even if it means planning your snacks elsewhere.“

“Great beer selection - loved all the IPAs I tried!! Live in queens but was in the area and wanted to try a new brewery. Owner is very nice and welcoming. The space inside is nice and cozy but they also have outside seating too. I definitely recommend adding this to your next go-to brewery :)“

“Bke is even more than the best Kombucha ever. It’s a lifestyle and a beautiful community ❤️ I highly recommend!!“

“Long Beach Brewing Company hosted our day-after wedding party and provided exceptional service! The atmosphere was lively, the staff were friendly, and their selection of brews was fantastic. The combination of great ambiance and attentive service made it a perfect choice for our post-wedding gathering. Highly recommend this brewery for a wonderful experience!“

“Love and highly recommend this place. The sake is delicious and approachable for sake newbies, the staff is super knowledgeable and passionate, and the vibe is chill and dog friendly. The brewery tour is a fantastic deal (it includes a few drinks) and super informative—they explain the process so well that by the end of the tour you’re left with clear ideas about how sake is made and various factors to look at when identifying sakes.“

“Great beer, great vibe. Can't wait to make it back there again!“

“Enjoying a brew after the beach, they have a great selection and variety of in house brews! Super cool space, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere with music and people’s conversations. Bar staff gave good recommendations for nearby restaurants, as they only serve beer and not food. Chill vibe 11/10 would come here again“

“If you like IPA's, a good vibe in a safe environment, awesome music and great staff to serve you...come to Barrier Brewery! Their beers are outstanding and they even have a food truck so that you can have some food while you indulge. My go to server there is Erick...he's simply such a jolly, friendly and just overall a good guy! But everyone that works there is freaking kool!“

“Didn't know there was a brewy in the bronx. Nice cozy place to have a temaste of the local beer. I was on a bike ride and this was our final destination. The father and son bbq was a pop-up, once the food ran out that was it. They had good food, the brewy doesn't have food and they are open at a certain time. I would suggest some heaters if the bay door is going to be open. I will definitely be going to back to try some of there other beers. Maybe catch a game.“

“I booked the Finback tap room for a work event, and it was an absolute hit. The planning was easy, the space was well priced, and the staff was responsive and attentive. Great beer was served and we were given local food recommendations for catering. Their service is wonderful and I will be back to celebrate future events! Couldn’t recommend them enough!“

“This place was so much fun! Just left there celebrating my son Ryan's 30th! 60 people under the tent with a live band and open bar. It was awesome! Management, Staff and Owner were so nice and helpful! If your looking for different place with indoor & outdoor fun this is the place to be! I have a feeling we will be seeing alot of them again! Everyone is going to post on there social media for this place! They had a blast! Thank You All!“

“This is my favorite brewery in Brooklyn! They have tons of fun events (follow them on Instagram to keep up), like record fairs. They're dog friendly and I've never had a bad beer here. They're currently doing "brulee beers," meaning they use a Bierstacheln (essentially a hot poker) to caramelize the sugars and create a delicious warm foam on top of your cold beer. This was my first experience with a brulee beer and it was absolutely worth the try! I loved it with the "last of the steam powered trains" stout; it really brings out the sugars.“

“Came here tonight and surprise- it was trivia night! How cute!! Layout is small and a little wonky so if you want to be in on the action + have plenty of opportunities to socialize, I recommend sitting towards the front near the bar! Unfortunately I came around 8:30 and trivia was fully in-swing so the only seats were in the back sort of away from everyone. One of the things that struck me right as I came in was how welcoming the crowd felt and the amount of queer folks I saw. Definitely felt right at home pretty immediately.My partner and I ended up ordering a flight of beers to share. You get your selection of any 4 beers on tap for just $20. My partner then ordered the burger and fries and I ordered a selection of 4 empanadas (2 chopped cheese, 1 Korean pork, and 1 vegan esquites). My empanadas were delicious although I didn't care for the esquites one as much as the other three. My partners burger and fries came out cold unfortunately but I was told it had good flavor.Overall, a decent spot if you like beer and activities!“
