    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?

The Burg Loft hit me with some lofty burgsquirt this time around. So lofty and luscious that I had to return to update my review. I rarely do that, it's so rare that you'd call it raw. Hit em with a claw. Chomping down at the jaw I roar a raw roar of surprise and roar so joyous in nature that it reminds a chicken that it was once a Tyrannosaurus rex. Always remember who you really are under that grease ball facade you keep. The years have served ya well, Burger Loft. This classic was scrumptious. One of the best double smashed I've had. Not overly salty, not overly greasy, not too crisp, not undercooked, super juicy, great taste, perfect amount of cheese and a nice homemade sauce on a solid but undemanding bun. I love an undemanding bun that deserves some funk and crunk out of some quality meat. Woof woooooooooof. Awooooooo. Oh no. The blue moon beckons me. I must wrap this up quickly - You won't like me when the clock strikes midnight. Simple. Traditional. A classic. Burger Loft - A true BILF. A fine wine. It was nice to see you again, babe, and I hope you thought the same. Price to quality ratio is a 5 star... tastiness itself still a Yelp 5 rounded up. I'm proud of you - be proud of yourself. You earned the uptick in stardom. Look forward to our next disco, be prepared to get groovy.

Lots of wood. Cool large Einstein art as you approach the building. Lots of inside seating with natural light. Outside seating and smokers for BBQ. I ordered two 4 ounce pours as a way of informing my can purchases. Photon, a Pale Ale. And MC Squared, a Double IPA. Both were very good. Reminded me of the ales at some other top breweries. I decided to buy a 4 of MC Squared and I asked the person working if there was anything special that they had in cans. She recommended Mmmosa, which is a pale ale with orange flavor. I tried it and it also was very good. I didn't eat, but I note that Equilibrium really seems focused on BBQ. Something to research before you visit. 4.5 Stars

The beer selection is great -- they have excellent lagers, ales, and IPAs that are all well crafted. Whether you're in the mood for something crisp and refreshing or a bold, hoppy IPA, they've got you covered. Every pint I tried was fresh and full of flavor. The food menu is just as good. The onion rings were crispy and addictive, the ginger fries had the perfect kick and were seasoned beautifully, and the chips & salsa were fresh and full of zest -- easily some of the best I've had at a brewery. It's also a fantastic spot for larger groups. Therebwas a 30+ party and the space handled it separately. Great vibe, various seating options, and music. The staff were kind and professional -- attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely friendly. They made sure everyone was taken care of and even offered great recommendations.
