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.

Timing is Everything!!!…read more I just happened to stop in at the Chop Shop in Downtown Butler, PA, during a recent Heatwave. As my luck would have it, I quickly discovered that this restaurant does not have air conditioning. I'm not sure if it was just offline or if it is permanent; however, be warned!! The restaurant had children and elderly people seated, so I couldn't wimp out and go somewhere else. The Chop SHop is a downtown Butler must-try, and it is three concepts rolled into one. The Chop Shop is a vintage-style eatery serving sandwiches, milkshakes, burgers, vegetarian fare and grilled meats. I ordered their specialty milkshake, which is a loaded milkshake that comes with everything thrown into one Milkshake. Although it was a perfect drink for a heatwave, my milkshake quickly melted due to the heat in the restaurant. For the main course, I ordered the Mixed Grill, which had grilled elk tenderloin, smoked quail, caramelized bacon brussels sprouts, dauphinoise potatoes and a blackberry brandy demi-glaze. The food was awesome, and those potatoes were crazy-good. The Elk was cooked to medium as I ordered, and the quail was tender and juicy. Overall, a good but hot dining experience. The Chop Shop has great food, great service, and one day may serve alcohol in the restaurant, but for now, their food and drinks can be enjoyed without it.

It was plenty to fill our bellies & was scrumptious. My 1/2 turkey sandwich contained a large slice of tomato, lettuce & ooey-gooey melted cheese & mayo. The salad consisted of mixed greens, (always a plus in my book) not just measly head lettuce, several onion rings, cherry tomatoes & the house made ranch. The chili wasn't bad either. One of the highlights was the grab a mug of your choice & pour your own coffee (or any drink). Great coffee!!! Refill your own drink & grab a refill for the road if you'd like. Travel cups offered. This place also serves breakfast all day. Our neighbors hot cakes looked & smelled phenomenal. You order & pay before eating. We were greeted by a friendly, Paula Dean-like, lady who was very helpful. They offer fresh baked goods too. Dessert-ed (before lunch) on a chocolate chip cookie baked fresh that morning.
