5 Best Craft Breweries near Montour Falls

“Today was my first visit to Hop Notch and I promise it was not my last. Very friendly place. Great selection of beers. Chicken wing pizza was amazing (I love a thin crust). All the customers interacted with other customers. The fact that they are dog friendly is a bonus, as well. Hope to go back SOON!!!“

“Came in for a flight. Got a decent sour beer, a Kentucky Common Ale, and two Stouts. Fast and friendly service, in a nice location. They did have some Wine and snacks, as well as bottled water for sale. No food menu but they did have some merchandise. Nice little spot with indoor and outdoor seating.“

“Really loved the beer here and the bands playing (2 different bands in the 2 buildings). The views are spectacular. The heaters over part of the outdoor dining area were perfect because we went on a very busy Saturday. We had a somewhat large group- 16 people and simply called ahead to make sure it was okay. They were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be back here with friends/family.“

“My wife and I stopped here while we were touring wineries and breweries. I tried some of their IPAs and their Oktoberfest, and she got the seasonal pumpkin ale. We went back two nights later and had more. The beer was very good, and they had a great variety. The service was great, and the venue was really cool with both an indoor and outdoor area. They have an amazing view of Seneca Lake too, and we got to see an awesome sunset. We did not try their food, but they do have a pretty good menu. They've got some pretty cool merch for sale too.“

“This place caught my wife's eye while we were heading to our next stop. So we stopped. It's a bit confusing on how to enter the place. Could go in the back or the side, but the front is the main entrance. It's a house turned into a brewery. But not any brewery like a brew pub from over the pond where the beer is served at room temperature v/s sitting in a cooler getting cold. She had a Red Ale and I had a Pale Ale, the Pale Ale didn't taste like a juicy drink that I'm used to having here in the states. The room temperature didn't bother me. I think I just liked or enjoyed the red ale a lot more than my beer. The atmosphere inside is really cool. Reminds me what a pub would look like in the UK somewhere. We were caught by the place in the back called the Snug. We went in the back to enjoy our beers and get some photos. Had asked someone to help us take a photo. The Snug we learned is a place where people rent out for special events. It has a nice outlook in the back of the yard overlooking the lake. I highly recommend stopping here, it was a good stop.“
