    Flight of Four 3-4oz Beers on tap $10
    Anne R.

    Nice atmosphere inside or out. Great musicians for live music. Tasty beer. Tasty food truck. May want a cushion for those picnic table seats if you stay for a long music set, other than that, it's a great experience all around! I went for a flight to get a tasting of the beer and found everything to be nicely balanced with classic solid flavors across the board, so it would likely be enjoyable no matter what style or beer is your preference! I went for the Low Brow Wheat which was light and nicely balanced wheat. Cider, which was a solid cloudy cider with a nice balance between sweet and tart, not leaning too far in either direction. Cream Ale, which would likely be an easy choice if you lean toward Pilsner. The porter was again, a nicely balanced porter with classic flavor.

    Loved this place! Plenty of parking. Inside tap room is quaint and cozy. Lots of good beer to choose from. Flights were fun! We chose to sit in their Biergarten, which is lovely and spacious, tons of tables, and has a stage. We were fortunate to have a fabulous performer (whose name I can't recall, unfortunately). We sat outside for two hours listening to him play. There was an amazing food truck with some of the best jambalaya I've ever had. Tons of sausage, shrimp, chicken, and veggies. Loved it. This is a great place to hang out and have beer and dinner and a show! Perfect night!

    Such a fun spot! They have tons of beers, everything brewed on site. The Oh Fudge stout was our favorite. Located in a really cool refurbished barn. Phenomenal service. A must try if you're in the area!

    A really cool rustic brewery. I love the space in using a really neat old barn. There's plenty of outdoor spaces and a stage for live music. I tried quite a few of the beers, from ipa to porter. Unfortunately the beers leave a lot to be desired. The venue carries the weight here. I'll be back, probably, to give it another shot.

    Great beer, great atmosphere, they are definitely doing the best they can with all of the Covid restrictions in place. Can't wait to go back!

    Big Inlet is one of the newest breweries to open in Chautauqua County. The brewery itself and the tasting room are all inside a large old fashion barn that was re-purposed for this business. The beer selection and people were all spectacular. The owners and the Brewers were all walking around meeting people who were there to taste the beer and enjoy the live music. Everybody was so friendly and I had such a great time. I look forward to going back and I will be sure to tell all my friends about how great it was. I personally had the amber beer while those with me enjoyed the IPA and hard cider. One of my favorite parts however was the kettle corn available from "Franklin Kettle Corn, Honey, and Apples" formerly of Forestville and now located in Dewittville.

    I really enjoyed this brewery. The beers were great but what was even better was the property itself. The backyard area was absolutely amazing on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

    I stopped by here a couple of Saturdays ago with my wife. We were taking part in the Lake Erie…read moreWine Country Harvest Event and one of the stops happened to be at Sensory Vineyard which was also at the same location as 7 Sins Brewing. If two things weren't enough they also considered themselves an art house and had lots of paintings hanging up around the building. The inside of this place is pretty large with a large bar off to the left side and then some seating and other things off to the right. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery I decided to go with a flight here. I actually was able to use my wine tastings on beer here but the size wasn't too good and so I paid the $5 for 4 - 4 oz pours. Since the brewery is named 7 sins, as you would guess some of their beer names are also related to that. So for my 4 beers I went with Gluttony (Stout), Pre-prohibition Porter, Greed (Brown Ale) and Frye PA (IPA). Out of the bunch I enjoyed the Frye Pa with the Gluttony coming in a close second. I also thought that the Greed was pretty good but there was something about the porter which I didn't care for. There wasn't anything wrong with it but my palate just didn't care for it. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I enjoyed most of the beers that I had here and I think that $5 a flight is a steal.

    We found this place by accident, I love it!!! It's small and not fancy but the beer is delicious…read moreand the bartender was really nice. We will definitely be back anytime we pass through!

The sandwich was on custom bread which was the perfect combination of soft bread with a great crusty exterior. I also ordered a side salad to replace the french fries; was a really good salad with multiple ingredients and a great homemade ranch dressing. Our waitress was also excellent, and moved us to a different table at our request, with a better review of the entertainment. We will definitely return and recommend it to friends in the area.

The whole building was super festive and fun. While busy, right before Christmas, everyone was very nice and helpful. There was barely a wait for anything, other than seating, but like I said it was so busy. The food we ordered was hot, fresh, and quick. I was really surprised by how good it was. I got a bowl potato soup and it looked small. That soup was so loaded and cheesy, I wasn't even able to finish it! Delicious! We shared a Bavarian pretzel. That was also huge, very well made. The dips for it I think are house made? They were amazing. We couldn't decide our favorite, but I think the mustard was mine. We each got a festive drink, I'm not big on drinks, but my Cosmic cosmo was fantastic and pretty! While the decor is what finally got me to visit I'm definitely planning on going back.

This brewery is located in a big barn like building with super high ceilings. It has both indoor and outdoor seating and on the day that I was there they had live music as well. On this day for my beer I ordered directly at the bar but for my food I ordered from the QR code that was at each table. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery I went with a flight here. At poverty Knob you got to choose 4 different 4 oz pours for $12. I ended up choosing the midnight lager, spruce almighty, obstructed view and brown eyed girl for my beers. First up for me was the Brown eyed girl which was an American stout. It was smooth with a hint of sweetness at the finish. Second was the Obstructed view hazy IPA which was a true ipa with lots of strong hops coming in at the finish. Up third was the spruce tip IPA Spruce almighty. It felt more like an English ipa as it was mild and sadly I didn't get any spruce tips flavor from it. Last but certainly not least was the schwarzbier named Midnight lager. This beer had some sweetness at the start with those roasted malt flavors coming in at the finish. Out of the bunch, I would choose the midnight lager and obstructed view as my favorites. Then for food, my wife and I ordered a chips platter and a pizza. The chips had a drizzle with bacon, blue cheese and scallions while our flatbread had arugula, honey and prosciutto on it. While I was expecting to like the flatbread more, I ended up liking the chips more. The shareable portion size was absolutely massive and I appreciated the pungent blue cheese with the bacon and balsamic drizzle. Our chips were super crispy as well which helped. Then our flatbread was also good and I enjoyed the salty/peppery/sweet combo from everything that was on top. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I enjoyed most of my beers here and thought that our chips were excellent.

    Let me preface this by saying I've about had it with the so-called breweries popping up everywhere,…read moreeach one seemingly more committed to clichés than the last. You know the drill: no table service, order at the bar using a kiosk or an iPad, which makes you feel less like a customer and more like a data entry clerk. And don't even get me started on the servers who act like they're doing you a favor by taking your order. Then there are the long lines to order your drinks and food, which completely destroy any semblance of a pleasant customer experience. Waiting in a queue that resembles a theme park line just to get a drink ruins the whole vibe (this is an ABSOLUTE dealbreaker for us). Oh, and let's not forget the chaotic atmosphere--kids running amok, dogs, and live bands cranking out tunes that make it impossible to hold a conversation. It's a sensory overload that just isn't my cup of tea. Now that I've gotten that off my chest, let's get to the beer. We ordered a flight, which is the trendy way to say "sampler," and I must admit, one or two out of the six beers were decent--particularly the hazy IPA, which was a bright spot in an otherwise dull lineup. Most of the other brews were solid but forgettable, a far cry from the unique, crafted experiences that breweries claim to provide. Overall, we did enjoy the beer! As for the food, it was a parade of disappointment. We tried the garlic and Parmesan wings, shrimp tacos, and, of course, the infamous Bent burger. Ah, the Bent burger--a prime example of how a simple, delicious hamburger can be completely ruined by a slew of unnecessary toppings. Instead of sticking to the classic approach of a juicy patty, they decided to throw on pork, a fried egg, and a medley of other ingredients that clashed rather than complemented each other. It was a chaotic mishmash of flavors that worked against itself, leaving me wondering why anyone thought this was a good idea. Gimmicks like that are rarely a recipe for success in my experience. The tacos and wings? Equally lackluster. The wings were bland, devoid of any real flavor punch despite the garlic and Parmesan claims, and the tacos were so underwhelming they could have been served at a school cafeteria. In summary, Bent Run Brewery is just another cog in the wheel of craft beer clichés, serving up a loud atmosphere, long lines, and gimmicky food that fails to impress. If you're looking for a genuine experience with great beer and simple, tasty food, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. If you are able to "plug in" to this nonsense, then it's worth a try.
