I accidentally came across Pressure Dropping Brewing's beer while at a local restaurant in the…read moreLockport area. Their beer was surely some of the best I've had in the US, so we decided to try them out. Unfortunately we also found out that they were closing within a couple of weeks of learning about them. We finally visited them during their last week. Parking was a bit of a challenge, though the place was packed and there seemed to be a lot of repeat customers. We ordered a few different beers and different foods. Everything was great and something we would love to come back for. Unfortunately this wont be possible, so we will need to just remember our awesome experience here. Fortunately though, their beer is available at Wegmans and some other locations.

Burger fries 9/10 Great! Fries are good just by themselves…read moreright off the bat. The burger meat is delicious, that bacon is nice and thick cut, some pieces are cooked great, some a little crunchy, but great bacon flavor regardless. Garlic aioli is amazing, I do wish there was a bit more, or there was some extra on the side for those dry fries at the bottom. Tacos -Cubano 8/10 Good flavor, the pork is cooked well, but the ham is very salty, little hard to eat more than a couple bites at a time. The mustard tastes great, and I love that the pickle is fried and locally made. -Chicken 8/10 Seasoned nicely, kinda taco flavored? I can't make out the spices super well. The jalapeño crema adds a touch of heat but not much. A mild spiciness. -Beef 8/10 You can taste that caramel flavor. Reminds me of short rib. Kimchi adds a good crunch. I do wish there was a tiny amount of sauce or something wet. Cheese skirt burger 9/10 Burger meat is amazing flavor. The cheese skirt adds a nice crunch. I don't think I completely understood what a cheese skirt meant. I would like maybe another slice of melted cheese on it though. Garlic aioli is really good too.

My…read moreselection tonight was their Hefeweizen, which was excellent and I would highly recommend to Hef fans. I paired that with a tasty pile of sweet potato waffle fries and a side of honey for dipping them in. The fries were a perfect blend of crispy outside and soft inside, just a touch of salt, and the honey is genius (it's an extra $1 and well worth it). Several other beers on the menu look tempting too, and they make their own pizza dough! Another plus: the owners are friendly awesome people. I am very likely to return. The inside seating area is larger than it looks like from the outside, with plenty of seating at the bar and at tables, plus an outdoor patio. Restrooms are clearly marked and easy to access. There are several large TVs showing various sports games - no closed captions though. Music is nice, there was an upbeat jazz background while I was there. It's on the louder side but not too loud to have conversations. If you don't get lucky with a parking spot out front, there is a decent sized free parking lot just down the street and around a corner. This is another win for the beer passport!

The place is huge with ample seating at both the bar and tables. Almost everyone was at the bar and we wanted to taste our beers in peace, so we went for a table. My wife and I each got a flight, so I got to try most of their offerings. My favorites were the Steampunk Cider and the Winter Ale. Both were packed with flavor! The bartender was friendly and checked on us a few times, even though he was swamped by those at the bar. We didn't opt for any food from the kitchen, but were glad to see there's the option to chow down while drinking. An added perk was that finding parking on a weeknight was super easy. We were able to practically park in front of it. I would definitely return. Cool little spot!

Our waitress Kelsey was very friendly and sat down with us while taking our order. She also gave us some extra input of the wing choices. I started with a Kringle Juice, a very nice hazy Holiday IPA. Shortly after, our wings arrived; 1 order of mild Hayburner and 1 of Hot Honey. Both were very good. The hot honey are definitely my favorite, sticky but with a very tasty kick. Sorry, no wings picture. They looked so good we attacked them before taking a picture.

We ordered 10 of the Hayburner wings, medium heat, and 10 of the Hot Honey wings. We liked them both, but liked the Hot Honey ones more.

It would be easier that way to grab a table. Charcuterie Board 10/10 Good assortment of meats and cheese. They seem to change up the combinations every so often. Meats: prosciutto, mortadella. Cheeses: cheddar, & idk what the other 2 were. Bread: Naan. Spreads: -The white cheese-type spread was fantastic. We asked what it was but they didn't know- so if anyone finds out, I'd love to know what it was!! -The other "spread" was artichokes with herbs in oil, that was also really really good! Hot honey deluxe 9/10 Really good. The spice level was nonexistent/mild. I definitely think the "hot" honey should have been just a hair spicier. But I loved the sweet honey with the pepperoni flavor. The basil was a nice touch of freshness every couple bites. Fig Jam & Prosciutto 10/10 Really good combination of ingredients and flavors. The sweetness of the fig jam and creaminess of the goat cheese was so good.

The bartender was the only person on the floor and she was very friendly. Her service was great and we enjoyed the pop punk collection she had playing the whole time we were dining in. We ordered some drinks and for food we shared a chicken club on sourdough and a Reuben. The food did take quite a long time to come out even though we were the only ones who ordered food at the time. The chicken itself was ok, a bit bland but had some good toppings and was well toasted. We had fries with this sandwich and it was very well fried and it came in a huge portion. The Reuben was ok, instead of the tangier russian dressing I'm used to this one was more straight mayo based so the flavors weren't what I was expecting. The marbled rye could have been buttered a little more when toasted as well. The amount of meat that it came with though was great and quite hefty. Both sandwiches also came with coleslaw and a pickle spear. The slaw was vinegar based and cut through the heaviness of the meat. I wish the pickle was more crispy though. All in all, a relaxed spot for lunch with good drink but ok food.

It was quiet and enjoyable. We ordered all 8 beers off the menu for the flight and some chips and guacamole which came out pretty quickly. The chips were warm and fresh and both the guacamole and the tomato salsa were good and flavorful. I thought I would have really enjoyed the peach radler and the cream ale, neither were as sweet as I thought they would be and not what I would consider a peach radler or a cream ale. I did really enjoy their premium lager and their red ale. I definitely enjoyed here more than the brewery itself, mainly cause the service was much better and the staff was friendly.

Our waitress was wonderful. I was debating between a couple items on the menu and opted for a salad. I ordered the Beet & Burrata salad ... um lol well if you would call it that. Two of us ordered this and we both were surprised when it came out to say the least. Basically a couple pieces of lettuce on top of chopped beets under a spicy-ish hollandaise type dressing over burrata. Or I'm assuming the dressing was what was a tad spicy. However I couldn't figure it out lol. There were a couple tiny smoked peach pieces on the side...just too smoky for my taste. Would have preferred just a fresh grilled peach. Also added a side of chicken to toss on my "salad" thinking it had a whole bed of lettuce, however could have avoided ordering that had I seen a picture of this salad beforehand - so I threw that in for you all in case you're on the fence of what to order. It was good if you like beets, but not really filling since the portion was pretty small. Loved the presentation though, gotta give them that. I also had the Oz-molitan... cosmo with blood orange ...delicious! If you like fruity drinks get it!! I tried my friends' fresh cut regular fries, the truffle fries, and also some of the pepperoni flatbread (I forget exactly what it was called, apologies) but all of those were to die for! I almost wished I had ordered those myself haha. Oh well, next time! Not a huge fan of coming downtown (only downside for me but the hubby dropped me off lol) but I would definitely come back again!

Went on a Thursday night at about 6:30pm. There was a party going on and a show at Shea's so it was…read morepacked. We had to wait about 10 mins to sit at the end of the bar. The inside was super cute. It is on main street with the train track so there is basically no parking in the vicinity so it's a cold walk during winter. We ordered Kugel Latke for an appetizer. It was fine, it tasted like uncrisp tater tots. If there was a sauce of sorts to dip it in, it would have been better besides just potato. For mains we shared two half pizzas the Fig& Pig and the Pepperoni + Honey. They were both fine, they were half sized but still didn't seem like a lot. The person I was with thought it was too much fig, but I had no problem so that is preference. Though the pork belly was mainly fat. The people with us weren't fans of their food either. They also added Truffle fries and were told it would be extra which they agreed to, but it was an additional $9 not jut 2 or 3. For the service, we assumed it was all due to the massive party but it wasn't that great. We were right in front of the bartender and our water was refilled once the entire time we were there. We also didn't get silverware and when we asked for napkins we got a single paper one. We were also at the end of the bar which is where the severs would stand or get the food which was directly next to us which was a bit annoying due to the proximity, they were as close as sitting next to us at a table. No one checked on us either thoughtout our time. Overall, the food was fine, nothing amazing. I'm assuming they get a lot of Shea's traffic which is fine if you want a drink with a snack. I would not come here for an actual meal as it is a limited menu and you don't get a lot. The service wasn't great, but we're going with it was due to the large party. None of us will be returning. It was super cute with the lights though.
