The nachos, fries, and drinks were pretty good. The food could be good, they start with good ingredients, but the execution was severely lacking. We got 3 burgers, all 3 were over cooked. Our 2 side salads came out after the overcooked burgers one of them taking 15 minutes longer than the first and came out drastically different than the first salad. I got the breakfast burger and it had a pitiful clump of chorizo on one side, a fried egg hanging off the opposite side, with the whole burger hanging halfway off the bun, as a result my egg yolk ran all over my fries (which were also great) and completely missed my burger-no where near worth the $19 they charge. I wish I had taken a picture of one of the most pathetic burgers I've ever had, but I only remember to take picture with impressive platings, not burgers stacked by 4 year olds.I must give credit to the Manager Kaitlyn was very kind and understanding and made things right for Ilus and was a big redeeming quality for the restaurant and kept this review from being 1 star.

Planned a party with ease. Spacious for a crowd, DJ, buffet and cake table. Parking can be a bit tricky .

My family and I love this place. It's built in an old train station and the ambiance is amazing. Every time I have gone the service has also been very good. Now I have gotten almost everything on the menu from the numerous times I have gone. What stands out to me is the burgers, sandwiches, and the PRETZALS. If you're going to this place you have to try the pretzels they are to die for. They also have a very wide selection of beers. I usually get the turkey rachel with american instead of swiss which is really good. A few things that I haven't liked are the nachos. It's almost like they put some shredded cheese on tortilla chips under a hot plate. Another thing is they had a special for a cajun shrimp pasta (pictured) and it was horrible. It tasted like spicy watery pasta. Other than those two items I love this place. I recommend this to visitors and everyone because of the location and good food!!!

Hit this late night just hoping to find food, mannn we got lucky! Great beer, I really enjoyed the banana cream stout. Perfect dessert beer. And we crushed half price apps. Cool historic building, and our beertender was super helpful

This is basically a nice pub trapped inside an old train station with some pretty cool history. As it was an old and classic train station there is a grandness about the 'restaurant' that seems out of place. Still, it's a nice place to grab dinner whether you're alone or in a large group. I'd say it's a great place for families. The on-site brewery provides some fresh beer choices. They carry plenty of other beer products as well so you're bound to find something you like. The menu is definitely pub style but with loads of options. We ordered the Impossible burger with fries, BBQ Pork Mac & Cheese, a side of green beans, and the daily soup which was a chili. All of it was really good. The portions were more than adequate; we had quite a bit of Mac and Cheese leftover for the next day. The staff were all quite friendly and professional and the prices were quite reasonable. We had a great experience. Enjoy!

We had a fun evening at this brew pub. We unexpectedly showed up on an art night with dozens of pieces of local art for sale. We enjoyed sampling beer and walking around the old train station filled with eclectic artwork. We did eventually get around to being seated for dinner. Food, beer and service were all good. My favorite beer was the delicious coffee cream ale. We had burgers, cooked to order, and enjoyed them. We'd definitely visit again if in Erie.
I've been here with a group twice. It's great! Limited beer and wine choices... Good food!

Stopped late in a Tuesday with my son and his friend. Nice atmosphere, I tried their nut brown ale which was not bad. The fried pickles were a huge dill pickle cut lengthwise into quarters, breaded and fried and served with a sauce that was tasteless, a novel idea but the pickles were too big , not usually a bad thing but in this case just not enjoyable. My son had a burger that was cooked wrong but he enjoyed it stating it was pretty good. And his friend had a sandwich that looked edible. Both served with a smattering of fresh cut fries. The fish bites were dry and tasteless, they were served with a white sauce I assume was supposed to be tarter, but tasted like plain mayo. The service was average. I may try this place again, but if not good there are other options around.

First off this place is neat. Being run inside an old train station is just something you don’t see and makes it so much “warmer” inside. We had some of the craft sodas which were good, and for food we had the fried pierogis, The Pittsburger and The Train Wreck. The pierogis were good, the burger was really good, but the Train Wreck was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’d drive 500 miles to eat this sandwich again. The fries were really good and all off us were stuffed. If I ever come through Erie again this is the first place I’m stopping.

After a chilly day a fundraising walk and tour of a college campus we settled on a brew pub for some warm comfort food. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful. My girls tried the flight ever made soda to figure out which one they liked the most. One of the root beer in the other the grape soda. I had two of there ales and they were pretty tasty. I had the black and blue burger with fries which was cooked to my liking. My girlfriend had the pierogies. (why I only twitch a little from their menu not using the e on the end). She really enjoyed them. My kids both had pasta dishes, but I didn't get a picture because they were goofing off each time I took it typical teens. We also had the Buffalo nachos for an appetizer, but I couldn't get that in a photo either. The nachos for good and definitely spicy. I will definitely come back for another meal here

Beautiful atmosphere and history. Food excellent. We can take our dog upstairs. Had excellent cheesecake. You will enjoy.
