    We drove up from NJ to check this place out. The beer was great, which is the most important part, but the experience itself was not great. The setup is a bit confusing, inside there is a full bar to the left and the brewery to the right. There were also two separate outdoor courtyards in the back that did not connect. One door was locked from the outside for most of our visit so we had to walk around the building multiple times, not sure why it was locked. The QR code is worthless. A staff member told me that management does not update the draft list and it is frustrating to them because people ask for beers they don't have. Also, I wish I took a picture, but behind the bar, there were about seven "flagship" beers being advertised with names and drawings and after talking to the bartender I found out only 3-4 were actually available. The Kolsch and IPA my wife ordered were both not available... nor were about 3 of their 10 taps, which were totally different beers. Why isn't the beer list updated at a brewery? That's laughable.

    Stopped here on my way home from Jersey because of its proximity to the Cuomo bridge and was really impressed by the food AND the beer. Most of the brews here are hop forward but they did have a nice oatmeal stout and Pilsner. Brews have a nice softness to them and low bitterness. Setup is more of a brew pub than a brewery. I was under the impression that the burger loft was spear but it didn't seem that way. Food was really good for "pub" style. I had the avocado burger and it was as good as any I've ever had. Perfect amount of grease without being saturated and gross. I'm not a huge french fry fan in general but their's were top tier. Had them with the truffle aioli and it was delicious! Service was average although I had just come from the jersey shore where every place had amazing service. They had hosts but they had us seat ourselves (it was quiet when we were there). Waiter didn't really know much about the beers and his timing to check on things was a little off. Bus crew were timely with clearing the table. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely stop in again if I'm ever crossing the Hudson at that latitude in the future.

    When we first moved to Rockland County almost every person that we met told us that we HAD to go to District 96/ Burger Loft. We have come to love this place and are there at least once a month. Our fridge is full of canned beer from them!

    The beer options here are kind of limited - there are a lot of IPAs, but overall some decent choices. The food was good. James, the bartender on Sunday was amazing. Super nice, attentive, helpful. Id definitely go back when he's there. After he left it just lost a vibe.

    We stopped for an outdoor dinner and we were very happy we did. We had the Mushroom burger and the eggplant burger. My eggplant burger was fantastic! I ate every single bit. The mushroom burger was well seasoned, well cooked and tasty. The fries were thin and crispy. Definitely a delicious meal. We also had a couple of flights of beer. I like to try different types at all the local breweries. Beer was delicious and varied. Outdoor space was good - large picnic tables under an awning. It was spacious enough to feel safe during COVId. Service was friendly but a bit rushed because they were busy. Definitely glad we stopped and would stop again if we are. in the area.

    Stopped here for a couple beers and a bite. The outside picnic tables were a nice place to be on such a nice afternoon. Took a few minutes for our server to appear, but she was very nice. Quick with our drinks but took 40+ minutes for our burgers!!! For burgers!! The server did say they were backed up in the kitchen but it really shouldn't take that long to grill burgers. Thank goodness we ordered fries ahead as an appetizer. The burgers , once served... we're very juicy and a tad bit greasy. This is a srack of napkins kinda burger. Filling indeed I ate only 1/2 & took the rest home.

    Came here on a brewery hopping day with friends. District 96 was our first stop. I really loved the atmosphere, decor and beers of course! My favorites were the nitro stout and summer campaign

    my fiancè had been wanting to try this brewery out so we came on a Saturday afternoon. We sat at the bar, and genuinely enjoyed the whole experience. Due to Covid, the tables & chairs were spaced but all super comfortable and plenty of seating. We had a few beers and shared a flight. All the beers were quality craft brews with really great flavor profiles. It is also attached to the Burger Loft so you're able to order food, and vice versa on their side. We got the fries with truffle aoil and chili mayo.. holy yum! They were the perfect snack during our tastings. The staff was friendly and always willing to suggest beers to meet what you were looking for. Their beers are available in 4 packs, crowlers, etc. to purchase & their awesome logo glasses were available to buy, too. Can't wait to go back!

    I tried sending the business an email but it was sent back undeliverable. Hey folks! Long time patron , I love love love district 96and buger loft, the fries are the best!!! We had an unfortunate experience today. I totally understand the understaffing crisis but I feel like we were just plain ignored today and when we asked the 3 ladies standing at the front desk casually chatting if we could get another round , we were met with an overworked waitress explaining to us that they need people at the desk to answer phones more than they need someone to help the physical people in the brewery and she's the only one working the tables for both sides . I upsell your brewery/burger spot to all of my friends and I brought my brother and his girlfriend out today for the first time and it was awful. The waitress had no idea what beer was, she said a saison and a kolsh were basically the same beer. That's a lack of training and just a basic knowledge of beer would be cool. Besides this, the menu apparently doesn't matter, you were out of most of the beers we tried ordering, not everyone wants a 8-10% beer, we drove 2 hours to get here and now we have to drive 2 hours back, a variety of 5-6% would be nice. This is when we ran into the kolsch/saison issue. I guess I'm just disappointed and embarrassed that I spoke so highly and we got so little. I thought an email would be better than a Yelp review because I just want a better experience, I don't want to hurt your business. Jessica

    Very Good. An extreme amount of choices! There are so many that it's a bit overwhelming. Can not even recommend anything, but I would say give it a try, it's worth it. The fries with Areola sauce was excellent.

    Erica W.

    What a cool, unassuming spot. Awesome beer. Highlights for me are the blonde, raspberry stout, and Pilsner. Crowlers are a huge plus! Staff are friendly also. Plus the inside is beautiful. Looking forward to having an excuse to come back here.

    Did we get enough?

In particular their BEEF RIB is out of this world. Same goes for their tomahawk ribeye when it's available! Incredible. The value is off the charts. I love their IPAs and even their stout is crack and I don't usually order anything besides IPA. Really great that they have food during the week, but if you're fortunate enough to be there during the weekend BBQ, I don't think you can go wrong with anything they offer. Can't wait to go back. I might drive an hour in the snow today just to get that beef rib... Cheers* Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Food 10/10 Beer 10/10 Distance from me 4/10 ;(

The parking lot is small but luckily it wasn't crowded on a Sunday afternoon. The food was excellent. They have a wood fired grill menu only on the weekends. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, the smoked wings with Thai chili sauce, the pulled pork sandwich, the hangar steak, and the burger. All were great as were the fries. The service was above and beyond. Also, they had some great specials on cams to go that we took advantage of. 10% off for dining at the brewery, a free branded glass with every 3 4-packs, and a free bottled stout with the purchase of a case.
