    Silversmith was such a good choice for a brewery to visit in the Niagara wine region. I'd been…read morewanting to try poutine for quite a while, and though it was available when I lived near Detroit, I never trusted that I was close enough to Quebec for it to be good. I decided maybe Virgil was close enough to try it, and oh my goodness - I understood at once why poutine is so popular. If you also hail from a poutine-less area of the world, fear not - done well, it's a great dish. The beer was also excellent. I can see why The Black Lager is Canada's most award-winning Schwarzbier. There are some really good schwarzebiers in my city, and Silversmith's is right up there with them. I also have a Nut Brown Ale, and a small size of the Motueka, both of which I would get again. They know what they are doing with their food and drink. And the atmosphere is really good as well. The old-church-turned-brewery is beautiful. I'll let the pictures in other reviews do it justice. The service was good. It was relatively busy the night I was there, but the service was still quick enough and even a bit conversational - I recall one of the bartenders worked at Silversmith in the warmer months, and travels southeast Asia in the colder months, which is pretty cool. I would likely be a regular if I lived in the area.

This is exclusively a brewery so they do not seem to serve food themselves but have other restaurant pop ups and encourage to bring your own food! To know more about their pop ups follow their instagram. We were excited for the Oyster popup from Island Oysters paired with a laza kombucha and a baby thunder pale ale. The service was attentive although note you need to order at the bar.

    I'm unhappy with the service I received there. I had been give a fifty dollar gift card to…read moreBrothers Brewing Company and they only provided four cans of beer (or I could sit down and drink four pints by myself in the middle of the afternoon - that was the other option). For a retirement gift, my boss had bought $50 gift certificates to six micro breweries in Guelph, which has been great. We've had dinner at some, but at others, I have just bought cans of beer to go (usually I put in a bit more cash and get 18 cans). This place must not have had a proper gift certificate, because I just had a "pint card" (4 beers value - $34) and the balance was rung up as 2 X 473mL lagers, for about $50. I explained to the server that I was sure this was meant to represent a $50 gift card and she said it was just a pint card and my boss must have drank the two tall boys there (while touring around Guelph to get gift cards at 2pm). Anyway, I finally took the 4 cans, which were $34 plus tax, although for $30, you could get 6 cans. I'm probably going on too long about this, but I feel like I was ripped off and this is my only way to deal with it, emotionally. Anyway, I will never go back there again, and please, never buy a gift certificate from this establishment.

    The beer is probably good - we tried the lager, it was good Saw lots of people ordering various…read morebeers and flights. Service was fine, but there were a few flies and wasps flying around that really dampened our enjoyment of lunch. Fish and chips were ok - the fries were quite good while hot. The fish wasn't as good as The Squire on Locke. Schnitzel was good for a brewery - two huge pieces of pounded pork. The panko breading was interesting. The warm German potato salad served with it was fantastic and I liked that the entree came with a few asparagus spears. The biggest disappointment was probably the margherita pizza. Given the whole menu section dedicated to pizza, I expected better. The dough was fine - springy, though I'd personally prefer a bit more overall crisp. However, the red sauce was terrible. It's taste and texture made it seem as if the dough had been baked first, then toppings and spoonfuls of canned, unseasoned tomato sauce was spread on top right before being served. It was just weird. Finally, there's a kids menu, but there's no cheeseburger option, just a plain burger. Patio looks nice though, and there's a big parking lot.

    Service and ambiance is great, however, food servings are overpriced and the quality lacking, I…read moreguess, people don't really have any sense of value or quality once they are drunk. $17 dollar sandwiches (white cheap bread) and the one that puts the cherry on top, the Blackbird Nachos $21.96 plus tax ($24.81). I counted the nacho pieces, 26 chips with some concoction, that wasn't bad, but not worth the price. The so called nachos are served on a medium size plate. You can get a pan of good nachos at Kelsey's for just $17.99. Compare value and quality, I added the Blackbird Nacho picture and Kelsey's too.

Super flavourful, refreshing, and unique. The food was just as impressive. I had the Brisket Burger, which was delicious--tangy, spicy, and packed with flavour. My wife ordered the Buffalo Cauliflower Sandwich and loved it. The cauliflower was crispy, perfectly cooked, and had just the right amount of kick. Staff is lovely too, accommodating and nice to talk to. Great beer, great food, and a chill vibe--definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

The space is very reminiscent of an old English/Irish pub. Located right in the heart of downtown St Catherine's, my wife and I were promptly welcomed in by the staff as if we were regulars. There was a good selection of in house brews, the bartender was quick to offer suggestions, but we let him know we were told to check out the blueberry wheat. We only had time to stay for one drink, but had a good time, the beer was great and we had a good chat with the bartender. Very frequently and welcoming. We only wish we'd had a time to go back and try some other beers. Hopefully we will get a chance to return one day
