New City Brewery is a fun spot in town with a large selection of beers and a full bar; at the time they had some fun and festive holiday drinks. The bar food menu has variety -- we tried the nachos which was good. There are plenty of tables in the back if you want to hang out, and they have a whole section full of games to play. Our bartender was super friendly; she let us sample a few beers to help us choose and even told us about an upcoming drag show they were hosting, which made the place feel especially welcoming and LGBTQ friendly. Overall, should definitely check this place out! read more

I enjoyed this little brewery. They had some unique choices there. Ginger beer was very, very very interesting and a few others looked interesting but I did not try them. Normally I'll try anything once but this day I was feeling a little reserved. I got a nice coffee, flavored dark beer kick back and enjoyed the beautiful weather and the flavorful libation. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely stop by for one more. read more

Food service is great, but little food menu and kinda expensive. Ambiance is cool, nice little spot inside the old mills.

I love this place so much. The sweetest staff, the outdoor area is wonderful, good drink selection, and huge shout out to the vegan options on the menu!! read more

A nice selection of fun drinks with a lot of options beyond just beer. I've tried their hibiscus mule and their signature new city mule and been happy each time. The outdoor seating was perfect for me since I had my dog alongside me. Inside is really upbeat. I saw people playing frisbee inside which gave a very lively atmosphere. Bartenders are right in front of you as you walk in and they got me my drinks quite quickly. read more

Fun and lively brewery in the old mill buildings located downtown Easthampton. Local bands and comedians frequent this joint and they even have a weekly disc golf putting league! The beer is great but for us the star of the show is the ginger beer and ginger beer cocktails they had! Ginger beer mules, mimosas and a hibiscus drink were all available. We had the mule and hibiscus which were fantastic. Looking forward to coming back in the nice weather to sit outside on the patio. read more

Great brewery ! Beer selection is great , The bartender is Knowledgeable and friendly , and the Mimosas are made with freshly squeezed juice and taste great. The outdoor patio is great for groups and the overall feeling around the brewery is wonderful. Will definitely keep coming back and have our employee party's there ! read more

They don't have a ton of space, but they make up for it with diverse drink options and great food options. My friends kept ordering more food after seeing other plates go by. I had the ginger beer which was a punch of ginger, i.e. perfect. I then tried their on tap mule which was also really good. I enjoyed it all so much I thought about getting a hoodie but remembered I have too many read more

Great beer, service and ambiance. The food and beer were so good, honestly above average from typical bar food& there was so much space and there were a lot of people so it made for a great atmosphere. read more

New City Brewery - cloudy ginger soda and the new city mule! Yum :) - Breweries Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

Good service, decent beer, weak tacos. Served quickly and enthusiastically when I arrived. The two different IPAs were solid and tasty. The three tacos were boring, lacking any flavor profile. Even some lime would have helped immensely. The small handful of fried tortilla chips were quite good. In pleasant weather, there is an outdoor space. read more

Great beer with an amazing vibe. Has board games to play while ur here and outdoor and indoor seating. The food they have in the summer is also good. Beer is priced very well too. Highly recommended coming here read more

Stumbled upon this place on a beautiful Autumn afternoon. Nice vibe with guitar player. Enjoyed a great Cubano sandwich, good beer, nice atmosphere! Hope to go back! read more

My mom, sister and I visited on a Saturday night around 10:00 pm. I was so excited to find a brewery in the area that was open past 9:00 pm. I tried a flight and my mom and sister both ordered full pints. The woman working couldn't have been nicer. The atmosphere was really cool- they have a stage in the back and it appears that local artists come and perform there. Plenty of seating was available inside, as well as a nice sized beer garden in the front. Here are the beers I tried: Minuteman (Pale Ale)- Really fruity and delicious. 4/5 Higher Cup Coffee Stout- coffee notes were present at the end. Robust flavor. Really good. 4/5 Fenway Froth (IPA-Session)- Reallly hoppy. Almost too hoppy for my liking. 2.5/5 New City Mule (Ginger Beer)- This beer was the beer my mom had ordered a full pint of. They serve this beer over ice and with a lime, like you would serve a moscow mule. It was SO good. Tasted almost identical to a moscow mule. Loved it. 5/5 Summer Ale (Pale Wheat Ale)- My sister ordered this one in a full pint. It was a very refreshing and light beer, perfect for summer. 4/5 Overall, we really had a great time chatting on their patio and enjoying some tasty brews. I loved the New City Mule so much that I purchased a 4-pack to-go ($10). Would absolutely come back here if I was ever in the area again! read more

At the suggestion of someone my daughter works with, we headed to New City Brewery in Easthampton. I can't believe I didn't know this was here until now. It is a great brewery with an outdoor patio which was open on this unusually warm March day. We enjoyed our 6 beer flight, Their brown ale was my favorite but the ginger beer (New city Mule) was damn good too. We couldn't stay longer but there was a band setting up and a food truck on the way. We will be back again, maybe the next warm sunny day, and plan to stay for the evening. PS - there were several, well behaved dogs, with their owners on the patio this day. I love dogs, but in case someone doesn't I thought you should know it is a dog friendly place! read more

Great brewery with different selections, not just IPA's! Nice outside patio and great staff!

Came here for the Ginger Beer, which was pretty great but i had hoped it would be more spicy .. the rest of the beers were pretty decent too, true to style and super nice people and a great vibe. Really nice old mill building, the brewery is located around back next to the other brewery. Parking lot kinda sucks, just like their neighbor Abandoned Building. If you are here and its rainy it will probably be muddy. Pot holes galore. read more

beautiful brewery venue- large warehouse venue. they let you sample everything before committing to one drink. we opted for the microburst IPA and kolsch, and then a sour. They had live music and brought in a banh mi food truck for hungry patrons. There was also a local artist selling her jewelry in the corner. love the support for local vendors. very welcoming space, very dog friendly! read more

My favorite neighborhood bar. Friendly to everyone, yes I mean everyone including the non regulars. The Beer is pretty great, and also the food menu has some specials that change regularly making for a variety of choices usually being offered. Great joint all in all. read more

Stopped here with the boyfriend on a Sunday morning. Was aiming to find a breakfast place but brews for breakfast apparently was on the agenda instead. So glad we visited here. It's located on the back side of a large old warehouse looking building. Pretty great vibes when you walk into the place. The area is open and airy, with large amounts of natural light pouring in, which i didn't expect for an old warehouse building. There is plenty of space inside, as well as a stage area for shows. There is also an ample seating outdoors. The bartender, (Colleen (?)) was awesome. She was super personable and knowledgeable. She briefed us on our selections and served us up a flight of quite possibly some of these most delicious beer I have had in a very long time. Get their ginger beer...its amazing. We live an hour + away from this place and I need to go back there to pick some up. We also tried their ginger mule which of course, was also fantastic. I was very pleasantly surprised when I tried their stout as well... it was great, dry and flavorful...perfect for a brisk autumn day. The Connecticut River Kolsch deserves an honorable mention as well. If you are in the area, you must do yourself a favor and stop here. read more

New City Brewery - Flight - Breweries Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

Beer was good. Nice atmosphere. The bartenders seemed very unfriendly the night we went, which was a turn off. Also it's dog friendly, which is fine, but it's a small place and when we went there were quite a few dogs out back. The barking and growling got a little out of hand. If you're looking for a good place to try some new beer and maybe bring your own food it's worth a shot. But overall it's not worth more than 3 stars. read more

Loved checking out this place. It's a wonderful place to grab a quick locally brewed drink and have some great conversation. The only thing I would say is that there isn't any food available, I always feel like even small late night bites are a great lure. I tried the ginger beer, and the Pioneer Valley Porter, and the New City Mule. I will also say that it wasn't served in typical mule mug. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the company, so I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

I've never left a beer unfinished, until now. Summer smells like farts (easy on the SO2). Ginger beer was awesome for a +1!! Didn't have the mule but I don't got to breweries for a mule so no +/-. Beer was not great. Lots of good places to drink good beer within walking distance. Maybe this is a good place to catch a game via TV over bar?? Really wanted to like this place, beautiful building and great corner location. D+ Extra point for the dry stout! I forgot that it was very good. C- read more

This place is tight. Beer is righteous. Staff are funny and friendly. Music is always of the top tier selection. And the space is a cool industrial conversion. Lots of room to sit. A stage for performing. Outdoor seating with a tent so you can enjoy even in inclement weather. Awesome spot. read more

Came here with a small group of friends. After a few beers, we ordered food from riff's and when it was delivered was told by the staff at New City that we are not allowed to eat it there (on their outdoor picnic table) because they have a "food menu". I assume they have to specify that it is a "food menu" because if anyone saw this so called menu, they would not recognize it as such. It literally has about 5 items on it, one of which is marinated olives. So the round of beers we just ordered had to be put on hold and we were forced to leave our table and eat the food in the parking lot. After a minute or two after we began eating, a staff person then came out and said we had to move from where we were eating in the parking lot because it was blocking their take out window which was confusing because there was no take out window there and they responded that no there wasn't a window there but that it was going to be built there. (I kid you not) So we move again into the neighboring park to quickly scarf down the rest of our food. We walk back over to the entrance to get back to our table and saw that they actually gave it away with our stuff still on it. Their response was sort of a shoulder shrug like "what do you expect to happen" sort of thing and that it was on us for ordering food from the neighboring restaurant. Someone in our party had to coordinate just receiving cans of the order of beers we had just placed, and incredulous, we just decided at that point to leave. New City is not a restaurant and it barely is a brewery. We will not be returning. There are too many local breweries to frequent in our area to give a place like this any more business. read more

Easthampton feels like Portland, ME all of a sudden (holding Portland as my mecca for all craft beer all breweries all the time). I drove into the parking lot of this large group of old warehouses looking for another brewery, and found this one in the same complex, before I even got to the other brewery. The Ginger Beer is everything. The other reviews mention this, and they are correct. Sneaky little 8% delicious zingy ginger beer, they will make you a Mule or a Mimosa with it and that is the first thing on my agenda for the next visit. I went in on a Saturday evening, and the place was packed. There was a dj playing vinyl records off to one side, and La Veracruzana was there making fresh, awesome, cheap tacos. I went back the following Sunday afternoon, and while it was quieter and we were actually able to get seats at the bar, there was a sizeable crowd of happy people enjoying their flights. Music playing, good vibes and good fresh beer. New City Brewery, I am a fan. And there is another brewery in the next warehouse over, for the true Portland-esque experience of brewery-hopping! read more

Great stuff from beer options to food trucks....great staff and delicious ginger beer , read more

I would definitely go back to New City Brewery. I went on a Saturday around 1:00pm and it was pretty packed. My group didn't get to go on a tour (I'm not sure if they do those) but the tap room selection was nice and open, a departure from the standard darkened room you get with most bars and tap rooms. I'm not a fan of IPAs (before you blow a gasket, beer snobs, I just think IPAs are WAY too over-represented on the beer scene and I like to explore more styles). Luckily for me, New City branches out from the tired IPA and offered a pleasant variety of beers on tap. Specializing in ginger beer, I had to give that a try. It was bursting with ginger flavor while still letting you know it was a beer, overall very very good and I would definitely drink it again. I got to chat with the owner for a couple minutes, and left with a hat and a 4-pack of the ginger beer. The whole vibe of New City is everything I would want a small craft brewery to be - a welcoming vibe with an owner who came off as a beer fan, not a beer snob. read more

Loved the vibe of this place. Their beers were delicious, went with a flight so I could sample several (ginger beer, double IPA, scotch ale, and I forget #4). I liked that there was a food truck outside, live music, and the Red Sox on TV. It was busy, so service was a little "Sunday Slow", but I didn't mind. Apparently you can bring your little ones with you (humans). Unsure if animals were allowed in (think so). I'll be back next time I'm in Easthampton. read more

Wonderful addition to the Easthampton scene, which as far as I'm concerned, has been trumpting Noho for the past year or so. Friendly staff, tasty and unique beers and a super laid back vibe. Very reasonable prices, just wish they offered some sort of in-house food. Maybe someday! We'll be back. read more

This is located in the same building/parking lot as Abandoned Building, so you should definitely check both out if you visit one. New City has a great space with very high ceilings, big windows and a small stage area that hosts local music acts. The beer is great and my wife liked the ginger beer enough that we bought a four pack to go. Their other beers were solid across the board as well. I'd love to get back there when a band is playing. read more

super place and beer and music I'm glad they use environmentally correct cups. (glasses) read more

Tasty ginger beer that's perfect for the summer. Their cocktails, the mimosas and mule in particular, are also very refreshing during this hot weather. The place is quite small, but rather nice. And the bartenders provide good service and are proud of the beer they serve. read more

The vibe there was awesome, it had a great space, live music and food trucks as well as indoor and outdoor drinking spaces. They were also dog friendly. Everything about the place itself was great but the beer was just ok read more

The feel of this place really takes it home for me. The bar is small and cute. You can bring your own food, during warmer months they often have food trucks outside during the busier evenings. I imagine you could have take out delivered. The beer list is fun, always changing, and eclectic. There is a good variety from IPA's to a fun red ale currently. I'm not a super big beer drinker but I ADORE their ginger beer. You can have it straight, they do a version that is brewed with lime and will make you a ginger beer mule, or my personal favorite- a ginger beer mimosa. I often have them make it with the ginger mule and add both orange and grapefruit juice. This place is a bit out of the way for us (see: 30ish minutes away from home by the time we make our way through Noho) but as we walked out recently my boyfriend commented "I really just love the vibe of that place". We agreed it smells like a brewery without smacking you in the face with stale hops and beer spills. Also the staff are kind of awesome. The bartender we've had each time is a young guy who is pretty engaging and we met his parents the first time we were there- I think they frequent but they are great to chat with. The brewers are lively, talkative, and you can tell the passion they have for what they do. Definitely a great little starter/ender to date night or just to grab a drink after work! Drinks are pretty reasonably priced as well! read more

Where to start? The drinks...the cozy atmosphere...the amazing bartenders?! This is a true hidden gem. The ginger beer and new city mule are unique and delicious, and would probably be enjoyable even to those who don't like beer. There are also many classic options--IPAs, stouts, etc. We came here for our biweekly Friday date night and found that while it was crowded, we were able to find seating and were served right away. The brewery doesn't serve food, but we were encouraged to bring our own takeout (or delivery!) from a restaurant of our choice. What a great set-up! We will surely be back! read more

Nice atmosphere. Nice bartender. Ginger beer was very good. Nice variety of beer. The IPAs were just not hoppy enough o

After a day of tubing down the farmington river was rained out, i decided to start visiting area breweries. New city was my the third stop. Their space was nice and the bluegrass band they had playing was a nice touch. Unfortunately, I thought the beer wasn't very good. The best of their beers, the ginger one was very meh. If they brewed beer that was tastier, I'd rate them higher. Low marks for beer I thought wasn't very good. read more

new place - bar area is pretty crazy in a good way - 40 ft ceilings- they did a great job refurbishing an old warehouse. They have quite the list of beers. Sampled a few but keep coming back for the mule. It's a hidden gem right off the bike path. read more

Went back and now you can do a Ginger Beer flight with different juices and their version of the Moscow Mule made with Ginger Beer. It was again a great visit. Super friendly, knowledgeable staff and friendly folks to strike up a conversation with. I really love this little town and love all that's going on in it. read more
