13 Best Craft Breweries in Buffalo

“it was great“

“Best bar visited in U.S so far. Super friendly people and seriously good beer. Thank you for having us“

“Great first day at Spotted Octopus in Rochester! Loved the beer, food and especially the service. The new systems threw the team a few curveballs, but the staff kept their cool and made customer satisfaction the #1 focus. Opening on parade day proved to be the perfect pressure test and they definitely succeeded.“

“This brewery was recommended to me recently. I didn't have time to sit down and enjoy what they had to offer but I got some cans to go. Their style of beer is exactly why I like beer. Phenomenal German style beer taste, just the perfect amount of bitterness. I tried the Sappy - excellent beer. I'll definitely be coming back. I would love to see them extend their hours just a bit but I'll have to make do. Can't wait to come back.“

“This is our go-to place when we visit Buffalo. The atmosphere is awesome, the food is amazing, and the beer is fantastic. The highlight of our visits is reconnecting with Christine, beer docent extraordinaire. We always enjoy our chats with her. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“My family and I wanted to try it out because they offered gluten free. It was fantastic! My family said they wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference between the regular pizza and gluten free pizza. It was a thick crust Detroit style pizza!“

“Amazing vibe and service from River and Ben! Highly recommended!!“

“Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great atmosphere!“

“The best beers I’ve ever had in my life. WOW. I got stouts and an amber in a flight and they were absurdly good. My boyfriend got IPAs which I’m not usually a fan of, but I adored every single one of them so much so that I grabbed some cans to take home! Fabulous service and great atmosphere. Jay was a saint ! I am already looking forward to the next time we come here.“

“Best Roast Beef sandwich!“

“💕Won a gift card and some gear at a cancer fundraiser at Holiday Valley! 🙌 thank you for putting into our community and for making a difference. Enjoy top notch beer and fantastic meal.

“awesome burgers. nice patio when weather cooperates. friendly staff, good beers selection“

“Went for their Tuesday burger special which is two burgers, two fries and two beer for $30. I had the Texan burger which came with two patties, bacon, cheese, blue crumbles, and barbecue sauce. My friend got the diner burger, which was essentially your standard cheeseburger. For my beer, I got the blueberry spring, which was a sour beer with blueberry lemon and lavender. I don’t drink sours very often, but this one was a solid offering. In terms of the burger, it was very good. Everything was perfectly cooked. The fries were nice and crispy and it was just the right portions of everything. We were able to order our food at the bar and they just buzzed us when it was ready and we picked it up from the counter and enjoyed time out on their patio. I would return again to try other food off the menu as well as some of the different beers on tap as they regularly rotate.“
