8 Best Brewpubs near Buffalo

“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!“

“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.“

“Solid longstanding Buffalo establishment. Food is good, and actually a shoutout to the wings. This is definitely one of the best places for a small group event. The event's coordinator is amazing and I will always recommend this place for a holiday party.“

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

“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!“

“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.“
