16 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.“

“The beer is great, the atmosphere is chill, the staff ( Joe & Nat)well, they take it to the next level. This micro brewery focuses on a fantastic beer selection but conversation and an environment focusing on respect & peace predominates. NOT your normal bar.
Honestly, don’t go here unless you are a kind person who likes great craft beer. Elmwood is close for those who seek a greater ring of fire ( Dante).

“Absolutely wonderful experience having our celebration at Resurgence. Everything was perfect: from the venue, set-up, food, communication through-out planning of the event and I cannot forget the friendly and helpful staff! I would highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Best Roast Beef sandwich!“

“Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great atmosphere!“

“I finally got to explore more of Buffalo on a family trip and seek out the best brewery. I may have found it here.

Not in the best or easiest part of town but there are a few other shops right there, including a beer garden around the corner. Small parking lot a few steps away.

The menu is big, but the focus is on beefy IPAs, Sours (smoothie especially), and Stouts. I would’ve liked to get a lager but I’m not complaining because everything I had was so tasty. I sampled 10 beers total (including what I took home) and nothing was below excellent. Some were borderline elite level beers.

I absolutely will be back next time I’m visiting my family“

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

“Went to watch the Bills play Houston and the atmosphere beer and food was amazing. We ordered the Pizza and 10 Wings combo for $25. Nice sized pizza and the biggest wings I’ve ever eaten. Friendly welcoming staff that were there to make experience even more memorable. We sampled many varieties of unique beers. Chandler Street Brewery had it all, Great Food, Excellent Beer, friendly Staff and great atmosphere to make watching a Bills Game a repeat destination.“

“💕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. Your bar tender Bob was extremely welcoming and perfect representation of the heart of the company. Explaining how 42 North brewing company owners care about not just the community but the staff. Blessed to have this opportunity 42 we will be back!!!!“

“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.“

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

“Awesome staff. Great atmosphere“
