Cozy bar and seating
Alisa W.

The service is super-friendly and helpful in choosing the right beers. I'm a sours fan so the "Fatal Bite" was a great suggestion. I also had the pumpkin ale which came with a sugar and cinnamon rim. A perfect fall treat. The menu looked really good with a lot, but not too many choices. (Think Cheesecake Factory!) I did peek around and The Mac and cheese mountain (with your choice of protein, sauces and add ons) was just that. Huge! The loaded potato skin looked delicious and they had a creamy broccoli cheese soup for the soup of the day. Great service, delicious variety of beers and warm, cozy fall food. Highly recommend this little stop on Main Street in Butler.

Walked in around lunch on a Friday. Plenty of seating, and we found Parking on the street right outside. Restrooms clean, street traffic a bit noisy, but still enjoyable atmosphere. Staff very friendly and quick to provide service. A beer I wanted to try was our, but no worries. Flight can be as few or as many as you'd like. Which I appreciate. 2 to 3 is good for me! 4 is pushing it lol Food was great. Got a chicken salad with fries. Everything came out quick and hot. Would definitely dine here again!

Food was great. Service was a tad above average but not superb and the environment was pleasant. The music wasn't overly loud. We had the pretzel bites & onion rings which were fantastic. I had the cheese steak which lacked something but was tasty. My husband had the Garlic parm wings (and drizzled w buffalo sauce) which were fantastic. The truffle fries were excellent. A friend had Bantum which she said was quite yummy. My husband tried 2 different beers but didn't care of either. I am not an alcohol drinker so I have no feed back on alcohol.

This place has been on the bucket list for some time. We decided to take a drive up to Butler and check out the place. We arrived and were greeted to sit anywhere. We found a location and reviewed the beers and I asked about the flight and she said it's a la carte, pick what you want. I selected the Hazy IPA Soft Top, Hop Marsh (but wasn't available), S'mores Mountain Pie, Bantam and Luna. The s'mores I liked because it wasn't something that you made you full. It was smooth and had a wonderful taste to it. The Luna was delicious but reminded me of Quinn Brewery's version but no complaints and ultimately my favorite was the Hazy IPA. They have a wide range of food to choose from. I had the ragin cajuin chicken sandwich which was the bomb. It tasted so good and had a ragin affect about it for sure. In addition, shared with my wife who had chicken sliders. Both were good. I want to come back here and try other food options, it's a hike of a drive but worth the drive. If you're seeking a place with good beer and food, hands down got to come here. The waitress was very nice and accommodating.

Philly's cheese steak/ with a salad

Service was great our waitress/Bartender Emily was awesome. I got the Philly cheesesteak and salad. Cheesesteak was ok, but the side salad was really good. They do have a lot of IPA's. I recommend getting the sample to see which ones you like.

This was our final stop of the night on a Butler Brewery Tour. The kitchen was closed for the night so I cannot speak to the food. Although I saw online the menu was limited, especially for me as a vegetarian, so we ate earlier in the night. First off, this place is really nice inside. I loved the look, especially the wood details on the wall. The bar was nice. The tables were interesting. It is small inside but we had no problem getting a table. I ordered a flight of four to try. The flight consisted of Pistil Wheat, Carvers Pumpkin Ale, La Noche Triste, and Hunker Down. The wheat was the best of the bunch, which surprised me. I'm normally about dark beers. It had a unique taste to it. The pumpkin was okay, but certainly nothing to stand out when there is a sea of pumpkin beers out there. The La Noche Triste had a weird taste to it, which I couldn't quite place. The Hunker Down was honestly pretty bad. I know the description says star anise, but that is ALL you can taste. Four of us tried the beer and no one wanted to drink it. A few of the beers were drinkable, but nothing to bring me back. It's disappointing because I liked the look of the place. It would have been nice if the beers lived up to it. After going here I spoke to a few separate people who also weren't impressed. Go to Missing Links or Recon if you are in the Butler area.

I stopped by here a couple of Saturdays ago with my wife for some lunch and drinks. The inside of Butler Brew Works is what I would consider to be industrial chic. The ceiling is a couple of stories high and has exposed I-beams and ductwork while the lighting is done nicely with some unique Edison bulbs. They have one massive wall that is completely done with reclaimed wood which is really cool and then a brick wall behind the taps. The bar itself is made of concrete and they have huge picture windows behind it where you can look into their production area. Finally they have a random assortment of high top and low top tables scattered around the bar where you can sit as well. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight here. They don't have a set number of beers in a flight and instead have a flight price for each beer which means you can mix and match as many or as little as you want. On this day I decided to stick with the usual four and chose the Creekside Kolsch, C Creature 2019 (IPA), Go Devil (Gose) and Sea Siren (sour). I first started out with the Creekside Kolsch which was a solid representation of a kolsch with a smooth start and that kolsch finish. Second was the C Creature 2019 and it was made with all local hops and malts. It's a nice IPA with the hops coming in at the finish and while definitely present, they are not overpowering. Third was the Go Devil which starts off sour before finishing with that dryness and saltiness I love in a gose. Last but not least was the Sea Siren which started off with, surprise surprise, sour before you really get those tropical flavors on the finish, especially the guava. My wife also noted the passionfruit flavor in the finish and on a second sip I really did pick up on it at the end of the finish. After I had finished all of those we were given a complimentary flight taster of the Merging Paths because our food was taking awhile. It was a Belgian that tasted like those Belgian yeasts right out of the gate but had a nice tart finish from the cherries and plum which was quite nice, even if I am not a huge Belgian fan. Out of the bunch I have to say that Sea Siren was my favorite due to those tropical flavors and that the Gose and IPA were both very good as well. For lunch on this day I decided to go with the special which was the secret weapon stir fry. The specials board described it as sautéed red peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, shredded carrots, garlic and sliced onions over bahn pho rice noodles and tossed in "secret weapon" sauce. It also said that it came with soup or salad which I didn't think about until I actually got my meal but I never received it. Instead I got the beer which for me wasn't a bad trade off. As I mentioned above, it took a little while to get our food but it wasn't long enough that we were questioning it. Whenever it finally did come out, it was worth the wait. I loved all of the vegetables in my stir fry and thought that it made it all feel really healthy. The noodles provided a nice carb to the dish and then the sauce was tasty too. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I thought that both the food and beer was really good and would love to try more of both.

Solid IPA.

Good place. Good beer. Good service. I'd recommend putting it on your beer joint lists in and around the Burgh

I had to try the hot dogs because I am doing a hot dog tour. It was a big hot dog!! I got the Rocco…read moreand my bestie got the buster. We both enjoyed them!! I will say I wish the bun was smaller, it is just too much bread. The onion rings were great. The sugar pretzel was good could use a little more seasoning on it though.

I stopped by here a couple of Saturdays ago with my wife for a date night. We had purchased some…read morevouchers to use here through JustPayHalf. If it hadn't been for that site, I don't think I would have known that this place existed. The building itself gives off a warehouse-type vibe, and it is a seat-yourself kind of place. Inside, they have a large bar, some tables, and some comfier seating that you would normally find at coffee shops. They also have plenty of outdoor seating, both covered and uncovered. As you might expect from an establishment like this that serves pizza and beer, they catered to families as well as other customers. Since we were there on a Saturday night, they also had some live music going on outside. As I often do when visiting a new brewery, I went with a flight this evening. I ended up choosing the Bone Daddy pumpkin beer, Traveling Wit, Curious George blackberry cream ale, and Bloodbath IPA. First up was the Bone Daddy, which was light at the start, with the flavor kicking in from the middle through the finish. The pumpkin was there, but it wasn't what I would traditionally think of as a pumpkin beer, as it leaned more toward sweet pumpkin than spices, at least for my palate. Second was the Traveling Wit, which was also smooth to start. You could really taste the citrus and coriander on the finish, and it was undeniably a wit beer. Next was the Curious George blackberry cream ale, which had a pleasing blackberry flavor right from the start before the cream kicked in. While I liked the first two flavors, I wasn't a fan of the finish, as it had some weird spice or herb flavor. Last, but certainly not least, was the Bloodbath. This was actually a pretty good IPA, as it was hoppy throughout while still being restrained. You could definitely taste the blood orange as well, and that flavor persisted through the finish, which was nice. Out of the bunch, I liked the Bloodbath the best, followed by the wit. For dinner, my wife and I decided to split the Nacho Daddy, described as pulled buffalo chicken, Granddaddy Lager beer cheese, grape tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, cheddar cheese, chives, and ranch. We also ordered the Murphy's Mart pizza, in the tavern-style and the pizza was described as having award-winning vodka sauce, cup-and-char sausage, a pepper medley, arugula, and shaved Parmesan. We knew the pizza was going to take a while, and it did take about an hour to come out. The weird thing was that we were still waiting for our appetizer at that point. I expected it to arrive shortly afterward, but nope, it took a full 90 minutes for our nachos to arrive. For context, the people who came in after us ordered a pizza, knocked half of it on the ground, and received a replacement before our nachos came out. Let's talk about that pizza, though, because both my wife and I found it delicious. The crust was nice and thin and crispy, which made it easy to eat a decent amount of it. The vodka sauce was delicious, just as advertised, and the cheese added a good amount of flavor. Finally, the peppers added a kick of heat to the pizza, which I thoroughly enjoyed, while the meat added some good flavor as well. Once we finally got the nachos, we immediately boxed them up to take home because we were full from the pizza. After asking to speak to a manager, our waitress comped the nachos, so we weren't charged for them. Apparently, they fry the tortilla chips themselves when an order comes in, but as an appetizer, this is something that should come out relatively quickly. When I finally tried the nachos at home, I found them tasty and especially liked the beer cheese. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While the wait for our appetizer wasn't ideal, both my wife and I enjoyed the food. It also helps that this is the type of place where we can bring our family.

I stopped here after dinner with a group of friends. It happened to be on a night where the…read morehousing development this is in had a large event, so parking was a bit of an issue, but I think on a normal day it likely wouldn't be. Despite a large crowd, we were able to get a nice table outdoors that fit our group. They also had indoor seating, but the inside was smokey. Not cigarette smokey, but food smoke coming from the kitchen. It didn't smell bad or anything, but with my asthma, I was definitely glad I had a place to sit outside because it likely would have started to irritate me. I'm not sure if the inside is always like that or it was just that evening. The menu has many beers, cocktails and other fun options for alcohol in addition to a variety of food items. Our server was friendly and had some suggestions for drinks when one person in our party asked. Drinks (including water) were regularly filled and they were great about our party needing separate checks. Overall, this is a fun place with a great variety on their menu, so you can easily come with someone who doesn't necessarily like or want beer.

Been to Recon a few times. Always a fun place to hangout…read more I've only ever ordered appetizers so I can't speak to their full menu, but the cheese curds and braided pretzel were both tasty. Their beer is decent, sort of hit or miss at times though. They usually do a good job at rotating different styles and flavors though which I appreciate.
