Seneca Lake Brewing Company & The Beerocracy

The beers chosen by the guys who got flights tasted chemically? Some were okay, but over all so-so. The gin options were pretty good, but nothing you couldn’t make yourself much cheaper. The overall atmosphere was beautiful and kind of quirky, but also had an unwelcoming vibe with the service at first. They were also out of a lot of the things on the menu for specific cocktails which was a bit disappointing. Id give it another shot because maybe it was just an off day, but also there was a lot of things that were off to say it was that.

Did a wine trolley tour all day and when we passed this place I immediately called and asked if they had and English Bitters. When they said yes I made it my quest to get there even though there are no Ubers in the area. Well cut to the chase and with some help I was in heaven with a delicious Bitter in my hand, lots of laughs and a some great memories by the end of the night. If you really like beer, beer that DOESN'T smell and taste like a Yankee candle or air freshener then make sure to stop in and tell Bradley Joe from Chicago sent you. It was one of the highlights of our trip!!!

The beer is cask beer, served (on purpose) warmer than you would think, but was very good. A lot of gin and tonic options. There isn’t always food, but went there for a drink or two, not to eat a meal. Atmosphere is like a pub, but not too dark or loud. People were great, bartender and the local group were really awesome and very inviting. Would recommend to anyone who likes English style ales or is interested in trying them.

OMG! What a blast! Spotted this before we got here as a place that had true cask ale, including bitters could not ask for anything better. Best thing since England and a lot closer to home! Friendly and accommodating, good food, great drinks and Nikki the bartender was amazing. (I'm sorry if I spelled your name wrong.) Patio has a view of Lake Seneca. Pub has a corner of very British foods for sale. The owner is a jokester, if you're not careful you'll end up on a video call with his Mom in England! The Dunmore bitter was the next best thing to Abbott Ale which is the best compliment we can pay. If we lived in the area this would be our home pub!
Note: There is same level handicapped parking and easy access to the entry HOWEVER all of the tables and the bar are high tops. No accommodation for wheelchair seating at a table or the bar. Bradley may want to rethink this arrangement and add a couple low tops.

Stumbled into this place at 10:30AM last Saturday. Don't judge us. It was our first stop on our way up the West side of Seneca Lake as we explored the wineries and breweries. This was my favorite stop of the entire weekend. The outside of the building does not let on to the treasures inside. It looks like a random house just sitting there overlooking the lake. We almost drove by it. Once we were inside, we were treated to a great experience tasting various English cask beers. The owner was a pleasure to talk with, telling us about his past and the history of the Pub. We even got to spend some time with the Brewmaster who walked me through my beer flight. Now, if you haven't experienced traditional English cask beer, this may be a little different. That said, take the chance and be adventurous. The Beerocracy British Pub was a true treat.

Authentic English pub with a good selection of beers. Bartenders were very friendly and the menu has a cool section with selecting your ideal gin and tonic. Would love to visit again👍🏻🇬🇧

best fish and chips! If you like the spice girls this is the place for you... I drank a glittery drink.

The best fish and chips I ever had

Great service, awesome fish and chips.

Cask conditioned beers were excellent with a British pub style atmosphere. We had a blast here, the outgoing owner and his friends made for an unforgettable night (and I did forget some things :).

Fantastic little place over looking the lake! Was refreshing to go into a brewery that wasn’t just IPAs- I’m person who does not like IPAs and sometimes that’s all the newer places have. Was just a short stop to taste a few things then had to leave- could have easily stayed all day. Will be back when in the area to try more and stay for awhile. Oh and the ladies behind the bar today we great- explained everything on the menu, quick to serve and had some great conversations.

Always enjoy the atmosphere and beer. We went on a Saturday and it was National Pretzel Day so I made the mistake of ordering one of their pretzels. It was cold and not cooked. Clearly rushed from the kitchen without care. Very disappointing.
