    Seasonal dishes like the garbage plate keep this place fresh!

    Knucklehead Craft Brewing rocks in SO Many ways! The best beer (I had the Haze) and service is absolutely outstanding! A place with an amazing vibe that is great for hanging out, having dinner and they do private parties in the back! They always have something unique as dinner specials! Today was no different with an incredible Chicken Milanese tonight. When in Rochester (Webster more specifically) it is a must stop!

    Got the mahi sandwich, very very juicy and savory, unexpectedly delicious. The beer was very unique and refreshing, especially the agave lager I got. Staff were very courteous and did amazing!

    Love the atmosphere at Knucklehead. Plenty of parking and seating. There was a good selection of beer and some wine for those that do not imbibe in beer. I had the raspberry but the keg kicked so my friends were not able to order it. Definitely recommend a stop here.

    The ale with an attitude that is 110% Webster!

    This is a heck of a nice brewpub! I stopped by there a week or so ago to meet up with some Webster pals. This is one of their favorite haunts, and I'm glad they clued me into this joint. The super welcoming and friendly staff made me feel as if I was a Webster local. I ordered a side of pretzels (with pub cheese) to share with my tablemates...when they came out they disappeared quickly! My double-smash burger was also very tasty and paired well with Knucklehead's macaroni salad and the Tainted Haze IPA was top notch!

    Really enjoyed my first time at Knucklehead this weekend! This is a great brewery with unique beers and an excellent kitchen. Everyone so enjoyed their eats and beers, and we didn't even have the chance to check out their entire back dining room area. They have ample, spaced out seating, with nice looking leather couches available during the non-COVID times. You order everything up at the bar and then can leave your tab open for the evening. I went with a flight of four beers ($11) and the chicken cutlet sandwich with fries. Let's talk about these french fries?!? The best I've had in a VERY long time. So so salty and they came out piping hot and crispy - I was surprised and impressed. My favorite beer was the key lime pie ale they had on tap. I expected to hate this but it was next level. The thought of making some kind of tequila cocktail with this beer?! Dangerous. I really loved it. The kreme ale was also a winner for everyone at the table, and the vanilla blueberry seltzer was enjoyed by most of us. My sandwich was excellent and the service was really speedy. This brewery has a more suburban vibe and wouldn't be my top pick for a night out in the future, but I am looking forward to coming back for growlers of their delicious beer and a trip for some good eats. Love that this spot is such a family effort - you can read about it on their website. Take a look at their menu and keep track of their new releases as well! Thanks for a great evening Knucklehead!

    Delicious seltzers and brews. Friendly staff and a nice outside area. We had a flight and all were good, also the special of the day a tea brined fried chicken sandwich with Asian mac salad which was delicious.

    Love this place. Great ambiance, great staff, creative beer and delicious food. The best boneless Buffalo bites in town! Tonight we tried the chicken French pizza. Woo hoo!

    Nice brewery located in the Webster NY area. Good beer selection, nice open airy seating areas, and friendly staff. They do not have food, but they have some jerky, and dry snacks to purchase. Enjoy a pint or flight. Ask for a taste first if you're not sure, always helps to get the right beer style. They also have non alcoholic choices, and cider. Growlers available. Sit around bar area, comfy chairs, or high tops. Merchandise for sale also.

    I enjoyed my first visit here! So a few friends and I went to check this brewery out. I'm not one who's up in Webster all that much but this was a nice surprise. They have outdoor seating (but it was WAY TOO HOT outside ) for that today so we stayed inside. It's a large place with a few rooms to sit and chat and live music while we were there. Staff could not be nicer or more helpful. I was not sure about trying a new to me cider and I was able to get a sample which was so helpful. The cider I got was OBS Cider Laid Back (Tangerine and Juniper) it was thirst quenching and just right. My friends got a pale ale and a sour I believe. They were both happy with their choices. We went to go sit in the cavernous back room. It was so nice to sit around with a few friends someplace after the year we all have had do to Covid. I believe you can order food but we were here to have a cold drink and a visit. They have a long bar when you come in.. the color scheme is of cream colors and lighter wood. I'm think anyone whom likes beer, cider or hard sparkling will be happy here. I'd like to revisit this place and try other things. They have a parking lot up front and also behind the brewery. Cheers!

    I was impressed with this brewery that has been on my go to list for awhile now. Why, you may ask? Friendly workers on site (check) Great tasting beer (check) Cool atmosphere (check) My favorite selection from my flight that I ordered was the Tangerine cream ale , the ideal summer beer in my opinion. Social distancing measures were put in place but based on the crowd coming in towards the end of our visit , I can tell it's a Rochester (Webster area) hot spot. If I'm in the city again, I'll be sure to stop by !

    Oh my goodness - the beers here are spectacular! My husband & I each got a flight and enjoyed it on the patio. We also ordered from the menu - a double jalapeño burger and a Philly cheesesteak. These were not your ordinary plates - the chef prepared extraordinary flavor in the dishes that blew us away! An absolutely spectacular place to unwind after a day on the road. If we ever find ourselves in this area again, will absolutely stop again. Hats off to the brewer and the chef - y'all are extraordinary.

    My parents picked up the food after I showed them pics. I'm on a diet currently so I had to eat low calorie stuff. But I sampled a bit of everything. Holy crap this food is excellent! Best Mac salad from anything not homemade I've ever had. Great beer and now great food. These guys are the best!

    See all

    Kathy's Kreme Ale(named after one of the owners) is my favorite, super refreshing light cream ale with big taste.

    Convenient to my parent's home when I visit Rochester but not a place I would return…read more Pros: + Great for groups. Ample space both upstairs and downstairs. + 2 of the 4 sours I had were decent. + Great for kiddos as they have an outdoor space that's family and dog friendly. It was very busy the day we went with a fun atmosphere outside. + Historic venue with a nice restoration for the brewery. The less great: + The setup means long waits. Having to wait in line for beers in a completely packed brewery with two bartenders is not a way to run a business. They need to consider a new strategy for ensuring they can accommodate the volume they are currently doing. + Had a bite of someone's burger and found it more or less inedible. + My parents had attempted to organize a large family gathering on the day we were there and while I wasn't involved in the planning, there seemed to be missteps and miscommunications along the way that weren't met with much empathy or customer service in mind. Too many great breweries in Rochester to waste time on spots that aren't going to ensure guest satisfaction. Great location though! This place is so, so busy it's obvious the east side isn't brewery saturated (somehow) quite yet.

    What a gem! If this is not the best brew pub in Rochester, I need to know, because Rising Storm…read moreBrewing is one of the best breweries I've been to in 26 states. First off, the food. Wow. The Detroit style pizza is phenomenal! Perfect crispy crust. I was there on a Friday but came back the next day to try the tomato pie as it was sold out on Friday. It was delicious! Think focaccia with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese. So tasty! But what is brilliant is that of four pizzas, one rotates each week and changes. I had one of the rotating pizzas: pepperoni, banana peppers, garlic sauce, and honey. It bears repeating, wow! So great! The beers? There's something for everyone! So many hazy/New England IPAs and sours. Great seltzers too! The space is great with room for private parties. Such friendly staff. I hope to come back again before leaving!
