Great place, great beer and even better food. The wings and burgers are the best in the area and the pizza is unique but very well made. Would easily be 5 stars but constant issues with the bartender. Always double check your order when the bar manager with beard and bun takes your order. 4 times in a row he’s messed up the order or just completely forgot to put the order in.

Just edging out Pizzeria Posto, Night School has the best New York slice I have found in the Hudson Valley. Great atmosphere, excellent drink menu, it's the kind of place you want to hangout with your friends. The pepperoni was plentiful and perfectly cupped. The undercarriage crispy with just the right flop. And the crust was tasty but not surgery. Posto might have a slightly better technique. But Night School's charm and the size of their pies make them a destination. If you're near Catskill, Cairo, Saugerties, or Hudson it's worth making the trek.

Stopped in after the concert at the River Front park. Great wings. The pool table is free to play. Dogs are allowed inside. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Although known for their wide selection of beer options, the food here is actually pretty good. We started with the Buffalo Wings. They had that classic tangy, spicy and buttery flavor that you usually can find only in Buffalo. We then ordered a large half cheese / half pepperoni pizza. Boy, this was good. The crust was golden brown and crunchy, the cheese was melted and gooey and bubbling in many spots, and the pepperoni was curled up into little cups of brilliance bursting with flavor. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious comfort food to wash down with a refreshing glass of beer.

Could not eat the pizza it was very salty! We ordered a regular cheese and a margarita. The sauce was salty. I’m Italian and mom always said u could always add salt but can ruin it with too much salt. Wings were good though ! Won’t be back sorry my grandkids also said it was too salty

The pepperoni pizza is spicy and juicy, with plenty of sauce and cheese. Apart from the cornicione, the crust is ultra-thin and extremely dry, resulting in a hard, cracker-like texture that falls short on flavor.

First time in Night School, well the bar anyway! Great selection of crafted beer, brewed by the owner, all with fun and quirky names in the theme of the bar. Food was amazing!! Best smash burger I’ve had in a long time. The Pizza was also amazing, as a recent transplant from the NJ/NYC area, it’s been tough finding a great pie! Wings were tangy and scrumptious as well!! Atmosphere is laid back, casual, and just a great space to relax and feel comfortable in. Well done!! Will be back for sure. Dogs are welcome and plenty of pawed cuties about!!

Small town, big flavor. An excellent list of world-class IPAs, some of the best in the country, paired alongside many lighter options, dive-bar classics, and superb pizza. The ex-pizzaolo from famous Paulie Gee’s, the food here is just excellent. I got both the meat special and the buffalo chicken pizza special, both came out amazing and I am so impressed with the pizza. A great place to come have a beer and enjoy yourself - play some pool, drink some amazing beers, eat a pizza.

WOW!!! This brewery is a hidden gem in the small town of Athens NY. The beers 🍻 were delicious and the best we had during our visit to NY. The concept of fried beers is truly amazing 👏 🤩. We tried all of them on the menu!! The owner and brewer Johnny was awesome!! The brewery has an amazing vibe welcoming, cozy, and perfect for a special date night. We met Nate the bartender who was very welcoming and friendly. What an amazing group of people work at this brewery. The food was delicious 😋 our wings YUM!!! Pizza 🍕 deliciousness!! Live music 🎶. They have a bar seating area with tables all around to enjoy the live music. The pool table is to the right of the brewery when you walk in. They have an outdoor sitting area. The service we received deserved more than five stars the atmosphere and food too. It's hard to find a local brewery where you feel welcomed and the staff is top notch! The experience we had at this particular brewery was excellent!! Johnny, Nate thank you!! For making our four-hour trip well worth the drive 🚗. The live music was excellent thanks to Nate and Chris. If you are planning a trip to the area make sure to visit this little hidden gem in the small town of Athens, NY. Johnny and Nate, we will see you again soon 😉!! Keep making those 🍻 beers!! Nate and Chris rock on!! Nate is the drummer and bartender and Chris is the excellent guitarist in the videos!! Johnny is the owner and brewer 😆!! May all your dreams ✨️ and wishes come true for all the staff at Night School Brewery home of the delicious deep-fried beers 🍻 !!

We stopped in for a couple of deep fried beers, and they were all very enjoyable. The hazies were hitting hard at 12p sharp. The staff was friendly and the space was really cool with plenty of seating. Cheers!
