    Get your beer at the counter, then find a table if you want food. Theres a food truck outside serving chicken, fries, and burgers. You can scan a QR code from your table, and the food truck people will bring it to you. One guy working behind the counter, so be prepared to wait while he pours, but nonetheless, it's a decent place. Pretty clean, a little loud, but it didn't feel crazy, lots of outdoor space (corn hole and Adirondack chairs on the patio.) The punch bowl orange creamsicle is delicious.

    BriarBrothers make so many good beers and seltzers! I like that their seltzer flavors change frequently. My current favorite beer is the curious mind - a dark coconut beer. Although there is no food menu here, Hen House is always posted up outside. This is a great brewery with even better beer! Definitely an underrated brewery in Buffalo.

    We've been here a few time now and I'm finally writing a review. This is a fun relaxing place with an industrial feel and great history. I've tried a few different beers here and they're all been good. The walk down the hall to the restrooms is interesting. That's where you see a lot of history about the building & even a Barber Shop! Great outdoor area with plenty of seating. No food served inside but the Hen House food truck was there on 2 of our visits. They have great sandwiches. Nice place to hang out on a summer evening. 2024-53

    Love coming here with the pups. They always have a fruit sour on tap that I like, not being a regular beer drinker. I highly recommend the Punch Bowl peaches and cream if it's on! Prompt bar service and live music often on weekends. Large screen TVs to take in sporting events and plenty of parking.

    The only non alcoholic option is soda

    I came here with friends for drinks 2 weeks ago and was excited because I hadn't been here yet. There was plenty of parking which I appreciated. I do not drink, so I was pretty disappointed that they didn't have a single N/A option outside of soda. I wouldn't return here due to this reason. I have not been to a brewery or bar in the last few years that DIDN'T have some kind of N/A beer or cocktail available so they really need to remedy this since there are plenty of people who don't drink but still want to hang with their friends at a brewery. I did appreciate the water station available though. They also didn't have their chicken available, so we made due with Molly's woodfired pizza. The pizza was good, but they did forget my friend's pepperoni on her pizza and when she told them they were not at all apologetic and did not offer her money back for the extra $1 she paid for pepperoni. The brewery itself has great vibes but they have a way to go before they establish themselves as a 5 star establishment.

    I've been here a couple times and have such a great experience every time. I met a couple friends who go watch the F1 races every time they're on this past Sunday. Excellent beer choices - I had a couple different IPAs and also did a flight with the hocus pocus sour and the nutty brown ale. Not a bad beer in the place! The staff is great. The food options you can order right at your table from Hen House are fantastic. And just all around really cool atmosphere.

    Again, another great stop at Briar Brothers Brewery. We stopped by for a Yelp event and vendor show. Their beer is always a hit, and we love how they also have available seltzers, vodka drinks, and wines for the non-beer fans or those on a gluten-free diet. 4 pk purchases have $4 off, and that's a great deal. Thanks for showcasing the brewery. It was a wonderful visit and Yelp event.

    What a cool place! I love what they did with the old building and the space itself is super neat incorporating the history of the industrial city with new ideas! We need more of this forward thinking rather than tear down and rebuilding all these ugly vanilla new places. The beer was great and the pizza was absolutely fantastic! We attended as part of a yelp event and it was really fun and everybody was very friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to come back!

    Order at the bar

    I love that this grain silo has been repurposed as Briar Brothers Brewery. This place is very unassuming and cozy. I love their Irish Red beer named Molly's Gate. You need to order and pay at the bar, but the line moves quickly. There was a hot chicken food truck outside and the smell was intoxicating. The hot chicken sandwich was delicious and spicy. I love that they host dog rescue events.

    Interesting interior and reuse of an old silo - nice selection of beers, and a friendly staff - worth the visit.

This time around I decided to go with the Limonado and the Yuzu Rice Lager, and both were excellent. The Limonado was especially memorable. It's packed with flavour, refreshing, and easily my favourite of the two. The food was great too. I ordered the Chicken Mac & Cheese, and not only was it delicious, but the portion size was huge for the price. Plenty of flavour, plenty of food, and exactly what I was looking for before a busy day. Service was another highlight. Justin was tending bar and was awesome to chat with. Friendly, welcoming, and helped make the visit even more enjoyable. Between the great beer, tasty food, generous portions, and excellent service, this place left a great impression on me. I'm definitely planning on bringing my wife here very soon so she can experience it too. For more food, brewery, and travel reviews, check out our YouTube channel A&M Roam!

The entire evening was seamless--we didn't have to worry about a single thing, which allowed us to be fully present with our guests. Thank you, Big Ditch, for kicking off one of the most incredible weekends of our lives!

It's literally just steps away from the KeyBank Center, making it an ideal pre-game spot. The beer selection is excellent, with tons of options to choose from. My favourite was the Raspberry Wheat, it was super refreshing and packed with flavour. The ladies behind the bar were also kind enough to let me try a couple of different samples before I made my decision, which is always appreciated. For food, I ordered the Blackened Chicken Sandwich. To be honest, it wasn't quite the style of blackened chicken I'm used to. It felt more like grilled chicken with Cajun seasoning than a true blackened preparation. That said, it was still a very enjoyable sandwich. The chicken was juicy, full of flavour, and not dry at all, and the bacon was cooked exactly the way I like it. The fries were nicely seasoned and paired perfectly with the meal. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere with plenty of seating and lots of TVs, including some absolutely massive screens, making it a great place to catch other games while enjoying a beer. Great beer, good food, friendly service, and an unbeatable location for Sabres fans. I'll definitely be back! For more food, brewery, and travel reviews, check out our YouTube channel A&M Roam!
