The other brewery has the more visible Main St location, but it was very dark inside and heavy metal music was playing loudly. Mechanistic is just around the corner and has a much warmer, brighter vibe with a lot of outdoor tables. The inside bar area is small but has good natural light, and they were setting up for an event in a larger room next door. Our bartender was friendly and welcoming, and mentioned they weren't officially open that day except for the event, so we appreciated being welcomed in. I ordered a pumpkin beer and it was SO GOOD. I've had several recently, and this was my favorite. It tastes like a slice of fresh pumpkin pie, smooth and sweet but not overly so. Would definitely return here.

Our server was Dustin (or Justin, we weren't sure) who was terrific (ask for him to wait on you, if you can!) I had the Italian Panini which was so yummy! Also the side dish of loaded mashed potatoes with gravy ..... They were just okay. It was quite a cold night, so 3 of us had nice hot cups of tea served in these quaint handmade mugs! And I had a glass of homemade root beer ..... ya can't go wrong! The prices are reasonable: my tea, root beer, and Italian Panini were $25. I think very moderate. Reservations are highly recommended. You can make one online for a party of up to 6. Larger groups must be reserved over the phone. Highly recommend and I would give it more than five stars if I could!

They have 104 to visit, which some have closed since. Today this marks 101st and only 1 or 2 remaining to say I visited them all soon. My recent visit to Stick City Brewery in Mars, PA, left me thoroughly impressed and convinced that this brewery is a standout gem in the local beer scene. From the diverse beer selection to the welcoming ambiance, Stick City Brewery delivers an experience that keeps patrons coming back for more. This may be my all-time favorite visit that has the best setup compared to all of the other places from a theme standpoint. Upon entering Stick City, you're greeted by a vibrant and friendly atmosphere that sets the stage for a memorable visit. The industrial-chic decor and comfortable seating create a relaxed environment, making it the perfect spot to unwind with friends or family. Now, let's talk beer - and Stick City Brewery knows how to brew some exceptional ones. The beer menu is a testament to the brewers' creativity and commitment to quality. From hop-forward IPAs to rich stouts and everything in between, there's a brew for every palate. The rotating taps keep things exciting, encouraging patrons to explore new flavors and find their new favorites. The Pale Ales was my favorite and took a 4 pack home, along with a t-shirt. The outdoor seating area is another highlight, offering a charming space to enjoy your favorite brews al fresco. In the winter or cold months they have a fire going at all times. For those who do not want to sit inside. This is a cool brewery out in the middle of nowhere, about 40 mins north of the city. I recommend stopping here.

I stopped by here a number of weekends ago now with my wife for lunch and some drinks. We had been…read morelooking for a brewery in Erie to visit after the Erie Marathon whenever Lavery Brewing popped up on Yelp. This place is large and has both outdoor seating on the side as well as plenty of indoor seating. The inside looked like a mix of cozy and industrial, with a long wooden bar stretching the length of the room, warm pendant lights hanging overhead, colorful beer boards on the wall, and shelves lined with bottles and glassware behind the bar. It had a relaxed but lively feel to it. After looking around to figure out where we wanted to sit, we ultimately chose the bar. For lunch on this day I chose to go with the pimento smash deluxxxe while my wife went with the pesto pizza. The menu described my meal as two smash patties, bacon, American cheese, pimento cheese, and onion rings on a brioche bun while my wife's was described as parsley basil pesto, triple cheese blend, fire roasted tomatoes with a balsamic glaze. I thought that the burger here was delicious as the patties were seasoned nicely and I appreciated the onion rings. While there was plenty of cheese and it was flavorful, I almost could have used more of the pimento. Then my wife liked her pizza here especially the pesto combined with the fire roasted tomatoes. Then for drinks, as I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight here. At Lavery Brewing, a flight consists of 6 beers and I chose the Active Recovery, Seeking Clarity, Lime n Cuke, Throwing Tropical Shade, Sound Mild, and Divine Intervention for my flight. I first started with the Active Recovery which was light and hoppy and very drinkable. Up second was the Seeking Clarity which had a clean start before a heavy dose of hops in the middle which surprisingly didn't linger. Third was the Lime n Cuke which has a strong cucumber smell and the drink itself is dry like most goses with a mild lime and stronger cucumber flavor. Fourth was Throwing Tropical Shade and you could really taste the orange and other tropical flavors with a finish flavor of coconut. For me this was a really delicious beer. Up fifth was the Sound Mild which was light but you got the nice flavor of those toasted malts at the finish. Last but certainly not least was the Divine Intervention which had a strong coconut flavor on the finish. Out of the bunch my favorite ended up being the Throwing Tropical Shade. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I both enjoyed the beverages and the food and we left both happy and stuffed.
