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.

For lunch we tried the fish sandwich and soup / salad combo. Fish sandwich came with fries. Fish was on the small side and fries more on the mushy side. I had the onion soup and house salad. The onion soup is not French onion, it resembles it but actually has a sweet flavor. Salad was fresh, I added grilled chicken, it came with a tiny cup of dressing. They do use bottled dressing rather than house made. Our server had 5 active tables, even though she brought ketchup and dressing to the table, she didn't offer drink refills or check back after we received our food.

I really enjoyed my Pittsburgh salad with the Italian dressing. My companions enjoyed their burgers. They have a great variety of beer and I like that you can order a smaller size. It's a little confusing when you get there, how to order. You just go to the side window and it's both the bar menu and the pizza menu and they give you a buzzer and you have to pick it up when it's ready. We didn't have any service out on the patio this time. Service at the bar was okay, not great. I was thinking they were likely understaffed that day. Bathrooms are clean.

The three things I look for in a brewery are a dog-friendly outdoor space, accessibility to some good grub, and (of course) some quality beers. Riverside easily accomplishes all three. The venue is fantastic. Two spacious open dining rooms, one of which opens to an inviting outdoor patio. Take a few steps down and you're in another outdoor hangout that includes another bar and a stage for live music. I didn't take advantage of the food opportunities, but it smelled delicious. They have their own kitchen on the premises and seem to specialize in BBQ. The couple of plates I saw people enjoying made me regret my decision to have a hot dog at the golf course before coming here! They have a nice variety of brews to choose from and judging by the flight I finished, there's something for every taste. Beyond beer, they had cider, wine, and some hard liquors too (if I remember right). For sure I intend to try to convince Mama to visit for a night, get a room nearby, and sip on a few drinks on a warm evening when a band is playing. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

I've seen this spot go through so many iterations of name, execution, menu, and seating over the years. But it now "seems" to have stabilized somewhat. They do a kinda weird but not too crazy thing. Drinks can be ordered at your seat, food must be ordered at a window. Two seperate checks. Not insane, not convenient, but it's fine. Kinda sets these into the weird "Do I tip you both? Do I tip you at all?" Like it operates like a brewery but with the food "process" of Panera. Whatever. Anyway. So, before I say this - they get some credit because they "made it right" without me pressing. My food was given to another patron and I was waiting for 45 minutes before I asked what the deal was. They offered me a free app - appreciated. Meal wasn't comped but they felt bad, they fired up mine fresh, was ready in 15. Also, from the other guests, I seemed like an anomaly so I wouldn't let this fluke that they rectified be that impactful on my overall feelings. The burger was good. Their namesake burger. Overall very solid. Not an all-timer. But if I was craving a burger - this would satisfy it. Tots were solid too.

The facility itself was nice and clean. Their business model is a little odd, but that did not take away from the great beers they have on tap! On the other hand, the food service, at least in our one visit perspective did not do them any favors. I must say I did overall enjoy my Southwest salad; however, you could smell the old fry oil from our order of tots and the pepperoni flatbread reminded me a lot of the pizza I had at the high school cafeteria! The fry oil dripped through the tots and pulled on the countertop! Yuck! The old saying, "you only have one chance to make a good first impression" is true! Not impressed with the food at all.

The sandwich was on custom bread which was the perfect combination of soft bread with a great crusty exterior. I also ordered a side salad to replace the french fries; was a really good salad with multiple ingredients and a great homemade ranch dressing.
