When we got $30!!!! Beaf Briskets, we thought its a joke, checked if there is no cameras around because looks like prank.

Decent beer but very few choices
I remember coming here a few years ago and there was a wide range of choices. I went today and about 6 months ago, and neither was all that great. Today there were I think six choices on tap - an IPA, a hefeweizen, a kolsch, a pale ale, a sour and a lager. I am an IPA person and the IPA was decent. We have been to a dozen breweries in this area, and this now stands out (repeatedly) as having the fewest choices. It makes it not quite worth it for me to visit unfortunately.

I can't say enough great things about Defiant! Last week we hosted a small wedding reception and it was perfect. We were able to do anything we wanted with the space we had (we didn't rent the entire place, just a few tables). The food was great, as usual! The beers and other drinks were great and the price was so reasonable! We were able to use all the games at the brewery, and we were even able to play Terminator 2 on the projector which was a major bonus. The staff was truly wonderful which made everything even better. The owner, the cook, and the bartender were all so friendly and helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better place to have a casual, and intimate wedding. Thank you guys SO much!

Distinct smell of rat feces as you walk in the door. Plenty of nicer cleaner bars in Pearl River. Not remotely worth the price you pay.

I don’t know what happened to this place. My wife and family have been coming for YEARS this place has memories for us they even catered our engagement party because it’s where i first met my in-laws and got turned onto real beer but… despite the rumors I’ve heard lately, still came here and needed to give them a shot. Only 4 beers on tap, from a brewery on LDW and it was 2 sours, a west coast IPA and a seltzer is inexcusable. They have staple beers and i came tonight ready to buy 4 packs of the staples and they had nothing. I have brought beer novices here to teach them about the different type of beers and it was just incredibly disappointing to see what happened to the production of this place. I’m still giving it 3 stars because the food is still delicious and the staff is super friendly and nice but man Defiant, what happened? I honestly hope they get it together soon and return to the brewery i once knew and loved

Place is a dump. All the food was terrible. Nothing had taste. They believe that pepper is the only ingredient in the world. Their bbq sauce was decent, but once you mix it with any of the over peppered, under salted food, it’s just horrible.
Also the bartender was just plain rude in all the ways you can possibly be. Please find some cool bartenders.
I will avoid it at all cost.

Pearl River's Hottest Brewery is Defiant. LITERALLY
Wow! You know how sometimes you cannot decide whether you want to go to a local brewery OR sit inside a sauna🥵? Well, now you can have the best of both worlds: At Defiant Brewing Co.
Sip on one of their MANY original beers (unless they're out of most of them which they seem to be lately) while sweating out all of those nasty toxxxins🏖️. Surely the money they are saving on that AC bill are passed on to the customer in the form of their great prices! 💰💰💰
---- Seriously though, a girl literally passed out while I was there last week because it was like 100 degrees inside. I don't know anything about running a business, but I'm guessing ideally you don't want that to happen.

Sooo humid and hot. Needs AC! Was there to see my 2nd cousin jam during happy hour

The drinks are great, the food is great! But the staff is the BEST, especially Dave! I lost something here and called Defiant the next day, and Dave was super patient and understanding of my panic. Not only did he find what I lost, but he was incredibly kind and I am super appreciative!!!!
I went there with my brother, he likes craft beers and smoked meats and I do a lot of smoking myself. We had the ample sampler, everything on that tray was delicious. I've made a brisket years ago and it didn't turn out like yours, I'm going back to the drawing board to try it again. I give a big thumbs up for your place.

Amazing beer and exceptional service, Sword was attentive and helped my party with whatever they asked. We ordered the Viking War Feast and it was incredible! So much food and it was delicious.

Solid all around. Beer was very strong. Brisket cheese tacos were outstanding. Very cool venue

I used to absolutely love the wings… just moved back to the area and it seems like they are a different style, what happened guys?
