    Coffee was amazing!

    Love the super chill ambiance and friendly service. Beer was outstanding (according to my hubby). We also returned the next day to check out their coffee. Also strong and on point. Extra bonus love for the fact that you can bring your own food. Wish we lived here just to enjoy the delights of Hot Plate Brewing! Maybe they'll open up a location in New Haven, CT

    This brewery is a great addition to downtown Pittsfield. They have a nice selection of beers and IPAs on tap plus wine, hard cider and seltzer. It's a nice spot to chill and meet new friends. Like most breweries, they don't serve meals but have a few snacks on hand. They have local menus and allow people to bring in food. Grab a friend, some food and head over to catch up and play some games. Say hi to Mike and Sarah.

    Amazing new brewery. This was a terrific Saison. Great new spot in Pittsfield.

    A fabulous hidden gem in the Pittsfield area. From the moment we walked in, the staff were more…read morethan friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere was a 10/10 - Calm, sophisticated, moody, and modern. The food also exceeded our expectations. The fried brussels sprouts and salmon were both superb and perfectly cooked. The wine selection was large, with both tried-and-true options like Pinot Grigio and less common wines. Overall, a great meal and we will be returning!

    I wish I could give a better score, because I thought the service and ambience were both excellent…read more Sadly, the food left me wanting. It was all edible, but there were problems with every single thing we ordered. We started with the marinated mushroom & sausage flatbread: one of the better items and fairly tasty with a tomato sauce base, could have used a tart element like a balsamic drizzle to wake it up a bit. My husband got the Korean bbq burger, which at $27 was honestly a bit insane and doubly so when it wasn't good. There's not a single thing that was wrong, the whole conception is an epic fail. A beef burger should not have an intense taste of soy. Sorry, harsh but true. The exorbitant price is insult to injury. The ham and cheese croquettes should never have been offered with the cinnamon sugar dusting. Another bizarre pairing that makes no sense in your mouth and adds nothing. The dijonnaise was good if a bit mild... amp up the savory flavor and put more ham in the mix with a touch more salt please. Finally, the Public Salad was a good base but needs a bit of a vinegar component to make it sing. I'd recommend red wine vinegar, just a small splash in the dressing. Overall enjoyed it and the chicken was adequately moist. Thank you for having us.

    I was amazed how packed this restaurant was on an off-season Saturday night. Off the beaten path…read morein the tiny town on Cheshire, the parking lot was full, the bar was hopping, and the diners clearly enjoying themselves. How great! We loved it too. The main feature is locally sourced fresh ingredients prepared in an unusual way. I loved the crispy soy/maple salmon on a bed of hash consisting of brussel sprouts, potatoes and celery root puree. My wife Statler chicken was crisp and juicy. But you can also get incredible looking sandwiches. My eyes locked onto the cod reuben. How unusual, yet easy to understand. Entrees stay in the mid 30s, so don't expect a cheap night if you add an appetizer, wine and dessert. (Btw, ask to tour the wine closet). However, farm fresh food is worth it to me. The room is good looking and comfortable. It is a little noisy with all the happy people, but not too bad at all. I will be back. And I will bring my picky friends visiting from New York.

We were too full to try dessert. No worries, there will definitely be a next time. Enjoy! **Oh, I hear they are expanding due to the high demand. Reservations are necessary** Thank you

I will say as far as food goes, there are bagged snacks for consuming and that is about it. If you want a warm snack or meal, you will be left wanting more from that stance. However, if you want to enjoy a pint and enjoy some "snick-snacks" as we call them... then Roaring 20s can definitely be your spot. They DO have a bit of a limited lineup, but it is a varied lineup. When we were there, there were crisp Kolsches, Czech Pils, mid-range lagers, both west and NE IPAs, and rounding out the offerings were a darker porter and stout. So, despite a limited lineup the offerings can appeal to all tastes despite the limited number of beers on tap. Oh, and there is also there was sangria on tap. If you want a meal, search elsewhere. If you want a nice pint/drink - you can't go wrong here (in my opinion). I will visit again if I'm in the area, not think twice about it, and be completely happy with my decision(s) as well as the drink(s) in front of me ;) Happy drinking y'all!
