9 Best Craft Breweries near Glens Falls

“Is there a rating higher than 5 stars? If so, it should be reserved for Davidson Brothers Brewing.

Although we've since relocated to North Carolina, we returned to the Glens Falls area for our son's wedding. At his and his fiancée’s suggestion, we reached out to Davidson Brothers Brewing to host the rehearsal dinner—and we’re so glad we did.

We first visited the brewery in late June and were blown away by the food and beer selection. Fast forward to this past weekend: the rehearsal dinner for over 60 guests was the perfect kickoff to the wedding festivities. Kerry and the entire team at Davidson Brothers were outstanding throughout the planning process. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made everything seamless.

The evening went off without a hitch, and we received countless compliments from guests about the venue choice. We couldn’t agree more—Davidson Brothers Brewing is a gem in the heart of Glens Falls. With fantastic food, exceptional beers, and a welcoming ambiance, it’s the perfect destination for a casual drink, a great meal, or a memorable event.“

“My sister and I recently reserved the Glens Falls Tap Room for my parents surprise 50th anniversary party. We started planning over a year in advance and corresponded with Anne Barry and Torey. They were both amazing to deal with and made the planning process so seamless! Anne was beyond accommodating to any and all requests that we had. She even went as far as to block my parents from their facebook page so they would not see when Mean Max posted that they would be closed for a private party. Any questions we had were always answered thoroughly and promptly. There was a couple times where we stopped into the taproom and Torey was working. He was amazing in assisting us with any additional questions we had. We had a slide show on a usb cable that they happily projected on their wall in the taproom as well as on one of their tvs. The party went off without a hitch and we would most definitely recommend them to anyone looking to host an event. Our bartender, Christa, was beyond amazing and so friendly with everyone. She was beyond helpful with anything and everything we needed and our guests adored her! Overall we can't express enough how much Mean Max made our event perfect and catered to everything we asked. They are amazing to work with and did everything they could to make our event a success!!! We highly recommend them whether you're looking to reserve for a private party or just go and visit their taproom and have some amazing beers!!! Thank you to all the staff at Mean Max that made this party a success!!! We can't express how much we appreciate it!“

“👍👍Can't say enough about how wonderful and accommodating Patty and her fantastic staff were when they recently allowed us to host a memorial service dinner on their enclosed patio. From the start, Patty met most every request with a prompt response that was both positive and reassuring. The space was perfect for our group, the food was met with positive reviews from all of our group of folks from toddlers to seniors, and the service provided by Allison, Candace and the rest of their crew was sweet, attentive, and efficient. If you are looking for a nice space with a local history vibe and unpretentious atmosphere with consistently good food and great service, Cooper's Cave is a great option. Thank you Patty and your entire crew!!“

“Our daughter’s Bridal Shower was held at Falcons Brewhouse, the food was delicious and the service was excellent! The back deck made our daughter’s special day a beautiful experience!“

“As a former marine our crew stopped in on a wet Saturday during Americade , no clue about anything but they had slushies and beer. OMG!! The owners Chris and Heather were so personable and friendly. There knowledge of what they talked about was second to none . They made our group of 11 feel right home. The drinks and the drink names totally on point ! Are only disappointing point is we didn’t know about this place years ago ! It was the best part of our trip this year and can’t wait till our next visit . And also thank for letting us share Biggie with you !!!“

“Relaxing atmosphere-?highly recommend!“

“Great open-air venue to sit back, relax with family and friends taking in the mountain air & views looking over fields of grain and sunflowers and of course sampling some incredible ingeneous brews. If you're lucky you can view the Dancing Grains swaying in the viewing fields in view.“

“Staff was very accommodating for our needs for large table. Waitress was fantastic with our orders and handling the kids at our table. Food was a 8.5 out of ten but great for the price. The homemade root beer was delicious. Highly recommend the place if your in the area John“

“Food and beer was good. Good selection of both! We felt bad for the staff as there were lots of unattended kids - parents sat outside while kids sat inside.“
