Sometimes I wish the staff was a bit more talkative or helpful selecting a new beer to try when I walk in alone after work looking for a cold one. That said yea this place is amazing and if you like craft beer or pub food then you'd better make sure to try this place asap. Never had a bad experience here and if you like board games it's an extra bonus.
Great little place. Interesting history with the brewery, lagers were flavorful. We went through four pitchers, went down easy. The Detroit style pizza was a nice change from most of Buffalo pizza. Live music was spot on. CrushCrushCrush is an amazing alternative band. Recommend the patio on a nice day.
In a small and unassuming building near Larkin Square sits the Buffalo Brewing Company. We stumbled in here around 9:30pm on Friday night because we weren't ready for the night to end yet after checking out another spot down the road. This spot wasn't exactly what I expected. Many breweries in Buffalo are done in the warehouse style where they have ample dining, seating, and bar areas within view of brewing equipment. In those cases the brewing equipment is not only used to make the beer, but it serves as background decoration. This one was the opposite. I felt more like they stuffed a couple of benches and built a make shift bar in the middle of the brewing floor. I'd describe it as more of a tasting room than bar. While the guy working was friendly and helpful, I tried three of their beers and wasn't overwhelmed by any of them. The fact that the beer I was drinking was BOGO kind of saved this place for me.
