8 Best Brewpubs near Buffalo

“We went to Buffalo Deep Dish for the first time last Saturday as a party of four. We arrived at 4:30pm and I expected it to be busy because let’s face it, the pictures of their pizza online look crazy good and they live up to it! First problem is parking, second problem is finding a table to wait for your pizza which took nearly 3 hours! Once we were able to find a place to sit, we tried the craft beer which was very good. I especially enjoyed the beer crafted with rice since I’m trying to stay away from wheat these days. The brewery area was a little loud but we made the best of it and enjoyed our pizza when it finally came out. No doubt we will be back but will have to be the first one there lol“

“Decent food and beer. The menu is mostly pub fair but they had a few interesting surprises, like a chicken pot pie. I had the Cobb Salad with chicken and was underwhelmed… maybe a little short on the bacon, but I did enjoy the 2X Milk
Stout. The restaurant is spacious and they have a nice big bar. The beer selection is heavily slanted toward IPAs but that seems to still be the trend. My servers were very attentive without being overbearing. It was a nice experience and I would come back.“

“Great food, bartenders were awesome. The beers were fresh and there were plenty to choose from. One thing it does need is another TV at the other side of the bar. This would help when there are any home games on, you can watch it from either side of the bar.“

“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.“

“Awesome customer service! THANKS FOR THE SMILES!!! :D“

“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.“

“The place has a nice atmosphere, and the service was good. It seems like a solid spot if you enjoy casual food and beer in a lively setting.

My main issue was the food being too spicy for my taste. I did not really enjoy that part, so the overall experience was just okay for me.“

“What wonderful place to relax and enjoy an evening out by the creek, on a beautiful summer evening. Food was delicious and Great service too!“
