9 Best Craft Breweries in Erie

“We have been going to Nostrovia since they opened, and we make it a point to go at least 2-3 times a month. The beer list is changing out frequently and always has an option for everybody. Not a beer drinker, no worries because there are options for the non-beer drinkers as well. They always have a cider on tap, frozen drinks in the summer, a mule (compliments of luminary) and sometimes a seltzer is available too. The food is simple, but the taste is incredible! We have never been disappointed here. Not to mention the staff have always been extremely kind and gracious to their guests. Thank you to catering to those of us who come with kiddos with the “busy bee” kits and hot dog meals!! This is beyond appreciated from 2 parents who still want to come and enjoy the place with our 2 year old! Cannot recommend this quaint little brewery enough!“

“It’s everything you’d want your local neighborhood brewery to be.“

“One of my favorite places to eat in Erie! The staff is so kind and the food is delicious. I really appreciate the vegan options that are clearly marked on the menu, and I always look forward to their vegan special each week! Always my go-to spot, and each time I go, I like it even better than the last.“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service couldn't have been better--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. What makes it extra special is the atmosphere: it's set in a beautifully preserved old-fashioned train station, which gives the whole experience a charming and unique touch. A perfect place to enjoy a great meal in a setting full of history and character. Order battered fish and chips.“

“Great beers and people. Wish they were closer.“

“It was a very quick and easy drop for me here. But most of all the address is kinda confusing so truckers follow your GPS here but right before the low hanging bridge take a left on that little drive way and do not turn right. The docks are in the back and the check in is at the glass doors before you get to the end of the building. There is a white bell button kinda up high on the right. There's is sign showing we're to push. Good backing for the docks. Good luck guys!“

“Nice place recommend you stop in and try a few drafts!!“

“Always love the beer. Salaura always does a great job. very friendly and helpful. Old fashioned is amazing!“

“This was our first experience at John Russell's. Our server was Brooke who was absolutely amazing with our large soccer club from Ontario, Canada. Despite what is happening between our two countries one thing is for sure. We love Erie and will always support local restaurants and businesses in the area. Brooke was able to handle our soccer club with ease vs another restaurant close by. She was quick, efficient, friendly and above all else served us with a smile everytime.

Thank you Brooke and we will definitely come back shortly!!!

To the management, please acknowledge your great staff who accommodated us with ease and efficiency. Truly one of the best!!!“
