Live Edge Brewing has become a New Year's Eve tradition for my family the last few years as we'll…read moregrab a beer flight and socialize then head home for dinner (get off the roads before all the party-goers are out). I was surprised to see I haven't written a review but I always have a good experience here! For my mom's birthday, she wanted to grab a beer flight and dinner at Live Edge Brewing. We arrived on a Saturday around 4:45pm and took a parking spot close to the entrance. They have a good-size parking lot so no concerns about finding a space. We walked in and saw the "wait to be seated" sign and soon afterward, a young woman came over and asked how many in our party and where we'd like to sit. The three of us decided to sit on their back patio. We picked a table and our waitress soon followed with drink/food menus. All of the tables outside had umbrellas to help shield from the sun, which on this Saturday was out but the temperature was perfect and there was a slight breeze to cool it down a little. The one oddity we had was that our drink menus didn't match as my menu had more taps listed compared to the others I was sitting with, so I ended up getting a drink in my flight they never saw. I slight hiccup but honestly, you can't be too upset with a drink in your hand! Our waitress was young and incredibly personable, friendly, accommodating, answering all our questions about the food and customizing our orders how we wanted them. We might have let it slip that it was my mom's birthday - Our waitress brought her a birthday cake shot to celebrate, which she loved! Our waitress let us take our time sampling our beer flights before placing our food orders. The wait time for our food was very reasonable, maybe 10-15 minutes, I can't remember as we were having too good a time chatting and sipping. For dinner, I ordered their Nashville Hot Chicken Sammy, which is a hand-breaded toaster-oven-baked chicken breast topped with provolone cheese, pickles, and their Nashville hot sauce between a brioche bun and served with a side of tater tots (a small upcharge from their default chips). The sandwich was delicious! Now, for you spice lovers, I didn't find this sandwich very spicy, it was more about the flavor, the tang of the sauce. I didn't mind it not being that spicy, the flavor was excellent! The pickles were thick and had a nice crisp to them and the provolone cheese paired so well with it all. The tater tots were fried perfectly with a crispier exterior but hot, pillowy-soft interior - For the small upcharge, ~$3.00, they were worth it. The portion sizes were perfect as I was perfectly full, I wasn't uncomfortable. The price of my meal was reasonable as well, especially seeing how everything's costing more in 2026. Live Edge Brewing is not only a family favorite but for me, it's a hidden gem. The friendly, laid back, yet still attentive service and country atmosphere have us continuing to come back each New Year's Eve, and now, this could become a new birthday tradition!

My boyfriend tried two beers while we were there and wound up getting some to go as well. They do have a food menu although we didn't order any food during our visit.

The space is very reminiscent of an old English/Irish pub. Located right in the heart of downtown St Catherine's, my wife and I were promptly welcomed in by the staff as if we were regulars. There was a good selection of in house brews, the bartender was quick to offer suggestions, but we let him know we were told to check out the blueberry wheat. We only had time to stay for one drink, but had a good time, the beer was great and we had a good chat with the bartender. Very frequently and welcoming. We only wish we'd had a time to go back and try some other beers. Hopefully we will get a chance to return one day

Attentive service both from the bartender downstairs entering the establishment as well as the workers/ servers upstairs.

For Round two ordered the Farmhouse ale, loaded with deep orange hops and a peppery bite in the aftertaste.

Came on a Wednesday afternoon for a party of 6. Seems like they prefer the entire party to arrive at the same time to be seated cause the hostess kept asking how long it'll take for everyone else to arrive. They don't accept reservations and there's a limit of 90 mins during peak hours. Our server was patient and gave suggestions on what to order. I came for the nachos and it was HUGEEE, layered perfectly and was a hit at our table. Our server recommended the strawberry salad - a seasonal item for the summer months as well as pear-isean pizza, love the hot honey!

We waited about ten minutes for a table and enjoyed sitting at the bar for a beer and a drink. Wouldn't have complained if it was a bit longer - nice bar, comfortable, great lighting and ambience, I thought. Prices for beer and a mixed drink are about what you'd expect, won't break the bank. Bartenders were cool! Complimentary peanuts and popcorn in the back, help yourself. We had fun cracking peanuts and the shells on the floor remind me of places I'd go to with my family back in the day. Menu is everything you want when dining in WNY - burgers, wings, beef on weck, sandwich assortment, dinner plates and of course, a terrific fish fry. The fish was my choice, I find a fish fry hard to resist even though the entire menu looked good. Large portion of fish, pub fries, coleslaw and macaroni salad, all perfect. My friend had the black and blue burger with fries and commented how much he enjoyed it. He was also pleased that they cooked it to his requested temperature. Atmosphere in the dining area was very relaxed and the tables filled immediately after anyone left. Like the bar, I thought the lighting was excellent, not too dim but not harsh on the eyes and I found it cool that each table is illuminated more with light from above so you can see to eat just fine. Service was fast, just long enough to finish the peanuts after ordering. So I'm not a beer drinker and can't really comment on the selection but my buddy enjoys the blueberry that seems very popular these days. Overall menu prices are reasonable and in some cases, lower than similar menu items elsewhere. My fish fry was $17.99, pretty good, lots of places ask $22 and even that's reasonable. Definitely would return here.
