I was in Ossining for a week and had this place on my list of priority places to visit. Coming in I wasn't sure where to start and the bartender (who was very approachable) recommended the Pennings Farm Dry Cider and the Doc's Draft Sour Cherry Cider. I enjoyed both but loved the cherry. They also welcome people bringing takeout from local restaurants and provide small food items (hot dogs, popcorn, etc). On the night I visited I brought food from a local pizza place. They were hosting an event in partnership with a local business or group passionate about letter writing/ handwritten notes. The man running the event passed out cards with envelopes and stamps and it was nice seeing people write and making connections. It was really cool to see how they support a lot of environment and sustainable development initiatives - the relationship they have with the community is a strong one. I was also surprised to learn they host a chess club/ gathering consistently on the weekends - something I'm looking forward to exploring! read more

This place was nearly empty when I went, but still glad I went as it's a hidden gem! My favorite part was the fact that they offer beer sample flights, considering I had no idea what I wanted. Tried a few different types of beer in one order. Love the fact that you can order & pay from your phone at the table. There's a bit of art on the walls that they're selling, thought that was a cool touch as well read more

The brewery is spacious, clean and comfortable. Nice lighting with the windows and they have some curbside outdoor seating. Good for a group or family. They have a variety of board games to choose from. Personally, I'm not a fan of the beer. Everything had the same flavor notes, but friendly service. read more

Very nice space. Small but good for small group hang out . There is hardly any food (hit dogs and pretzels and chips) but they encourage outside food. Beer is good - standards and experimental brews. We enjoyed the hazy and the Pilsner. Service was great - friendly and full of beer knowledge. read more

Came with friends here on a Wednesday night for trivia and so glad I did! This is more like a tap room, though they do serve food. I ended up ordering a hot dog with mustard relish. I was originally going to order a canned cocktail from Liquid Fables but they didn't have the one I wanted so I stuck with water. Note: you are allowed to bring your own food if you want! Might do that for the next trivia night I attend, though the hot dog was good! They also have Hal's potato chips available. read more

Sing Sing Kill Brewery - Beef hot dog with mustard relish - Breweries Near Me - Ossining, New York

Came for a beer after a long hike - did not disappoint. The place isn't large like most breweries, but it still had about ten 6-top tables, bar service and some back ledge seats. Appreciated off the bat that dogs are permitted indoors - just not bar seating! To note, they also offered outdoor front-patio seating. We only came for a couple beers, opting for a guest cider, the Maibach and the ESB; we ultimately got a 4-pack of thr ESB to go for $20 (price of all 4-packs). There were a surprising amount of families with children here, many of whom were playing on the floor, which was kinda gross for the kids, but c'est la vie. Our dog noticed food on the ground so we were concerned about toddlers eating food off the floor, so maybe just something to be cautious about. There were plenty of board games, some missing pieces, but that's to be expected. Would've loved more 2-player options but considering it's a groups thing to offer games as is, no complaints there. Looking forward to coming back next time we're up here for a hike. Highly reccomend this place over River Side Brewery! read more

Went with a friend to try out some local craft brews. Late in the afternoon, mid week and the place is empty. We sit at the bar and the bartender on duty offers us samples of anything we want to taste as this is our first visit. We each chose a different beer and proceeded to work our way through and onto beer #2. IMHO, SSKB has more variety than some other well known local breweries with selections ranging from a Cream Ale to a NEIPA and a not 1 but 2 stouts. Didn't eat anything so no comment on the snackage. Look forward to a return visit after a couple of months to give them a chance to change over some taps. P.S. The photo I posted shows the sign they have indicating when they last cleaned the tap lines. Some friends and I had just had a discussion about some places they had been where the lines hadn't been cleaned in monrths, probably years. That alone will keep me coming back. read more

Disclaimer - this review doesn't talk about beer but focuses on the food and the service. I was in Ossining for a long run on the Old Croton Aqueduct, and my friends and I stopped by the brewery for a quick lunch after the run. My friends love to drink hence we chose this brewery, but I don't so I was trying everything excluding the alcohol. Staff here are very friendly, helpful, and attentive. I like how they permit ordering food from the restaurants nearby, and they even encourage us to do so. You must buy a food item from the brewery for beer, and the most solid meal you can get here is a hot dog. The hot dog is actually really good and I can see that they took the time to figure out the best hot dog. You can choose either 50% pork and 50% beef hot dog or 100% beef hot dog, and they also offer different kind of topping. Mustard relish was fresh and went really well with the hot dog. The hot dog comes in a pretzel bun and it's worth the price (I think it was around $6.50 per hot dog). I also like that the brewery offers products from other local restaurants on the menu - i.e. pretzel from First Village Coffee and Portuguese cookies from Ossining Bakery. I've never seen cookies so cheap (50 cents) so I went for it, and brought the coffee from First Village Coffee. They were solid. read more

We biked here from Sleepy Hollow. The place is real nice. Great friendly service. Interesting beers and a couple visiting beers. I got to commend the welcoming all-inclusive al accepting vibe of the place. It's great to see a business actually stand up for equality and show it's true colors. We loved seeing that. Also it's great that they are supportive of other self-grown businesses and local products. We'll be back. Especially when they start having live music. read more

A very laid back beer room just off the main strip. This isn't a beer hall restaurant, it's a tap room in a brewery. Beer is very refreshing and they were honest about some of the beers they were just 'testing' which I found very interesting. We tried a few and I'd say their sours were my favorite. Had a lot of games, so if you're looking to just hang with some friends, have a a few beers inside a brewery, this is your place. read more

SSK is upping the game! Expanding the beer menu for a more assorted variety-- hello cream ales, goses, and some guest sours... count me IN!! Space is cozy as ever and the vibe is just overall comfortable. No frills, no snob tudes, just grab a drink and enjoy. That is the kind of joint I would hope most people appreciate as much as I do. Menu wise they do not have a kitchen but they host a selection of local bites, fresh from the surrounding area. What's not to like about a biz supporting other small businesses? Sing Sing Kill for the Win. read more

Our family has hosted a bridal party and baby shower at SSKB and both were huge successes! great staff and drinks.

Small taproom with big reward. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and the bartender could not have been more welcoming, informative and attentive. The only downside was the inability to sample all beers on Tap due to a couple of really interesting ones kicking, but no worries we will return to catch them. read more

Stumbled upon this Brewery and decided to check it out. What a great atmosphere to be able to try some new beer out. They offer some snacks but you can always order takeout from any of the restaurants in Ossining and eat it there which is amazing. This allows you to have a variety of food available to you without being stuck with the usual finger food & shareable plates breweries typically provide. Our bartender was very friendly and she even made me a special cocktail. They have street parking and also have two clean bathrooms and multiple chairs tables for you to sit and enjoy. read more

Beers, great. Ambience and facility, great. Service, very slow. There was only us and another table and three people on staff, yet it took an hour to order one round and close out with crowlers to go. read more

I really wanted to like this brewery. I loved the historical context and the connections to Ossining. However, the beers were just okay. Service was fine. Ambiance is lovely but I can't get over how unremarkable the beers were. read more

We came up for the day from the city, and sat outside, ate the singlually best hot dog in possibilty my existance ( full disclosure, I'm English, so my standards are very different than yours, but the bun was absolutely fucking gorgeous, plus spicy saukraut. yum). The village bakery makes the prezels and buns and they are super fresh. Oh, and the beer. ha. Chocolate Chili Stout. There's habernero involved. It's gooooooooood. Between that and the saurkraut my cheeks were rosy! We had a flight- The singluarity- the first beer they made- is delicious and light, and then we had 3 stouts, which were all amazing. read more

Sing Sing Kill Brewery is an awesome new addition to Ossining's evolving downtown! The taproom is a cool combination of reclaimed vintage and open loft space, yet it is warm and inviting. The brewery is a New York Farm brewery, so all of the items on the menu are from New York based ingredients and/or from New York-based companies. They brew on site, and you can see the room where the tasty brews are made. There is always a new beer on tap- almost weekly. The in-house brewer, Matt Curtin, is always turning out innovative, new beers with cool, quirky names. Favorites include the milk-chocolate stout, Bière de Forage (foraged mushroom beer!), and the Group W Bench (a tribute to Alice's Restaurant). If you're not a beer person they always have a delicious selection of cider, the standard offering is a sweet pear cider with a second rotating selection of seasonal cider- a favorite was the sour cherry cider from this past summer. They also offer a selection of New York state liquors. I highly recommend asking the the house favorite: the Easy Rider- it's house made Malta with NY State rye whiskey. Pro-tip: It's even better with a small sidecar of stout or Porter. Food: they offer a few small tasty noshes. If you want more substantial food, you can order from a local restaurant or bring your own. They made the decision to focus on beer not be a restaurant, which is great if you love good beer. They also have started to offer cool events such as Barre at the brewery on Saturday afternoons, comedy shows, and live music. There is something for everyone- and they are also very kid friendly! Overall, I highly recommend a visit! read more

We were looking to kill an hour or so before going to an event, so we decided to check out this place. I mean it's named after a notorious prison that is located two blocks away! The staff were very friendly and help when choosing from their beer selection. I opted for a flight so I could sample several varieties. We were there around Halloween so they had a few great pumpkin beer options, one of which is served through a tapped pumpkin. It was fantastic! The prices were very reasonable. I only wish they had a larger selection of bar food. If you're in the area or passing though, stop in and give them a try! read more

I ended up here because a food truck I love happen was going to be at their brewery for a few hours. Had never heard of thus brewery prior to this day . When we arrived we learned that we had to place our order for the food truck inside through the brewery. The brewery employees were the ones to process all transactions for the food truck and received the tips from food truck sales. So I went inside to place an order and right from the start was given this vibe that we weren't welcome there. Either way I gave an 18% tip and headed out to grab my food from the truck. My fiancé wanted to sit down and have a drink so we went back in and ordered some drinks and sat down at a table. Multiple groups did the same, food from the truck and either sat down inside or in the outdoor seating area. Yet for whatever reason we were still treated very poorly, like we were just not wanted there. Definitely won't ever come back to this place. I'll wait for the truck to venture elsewhere to enjoy their food. read more

HIGHLY recommend if you're in the area or coming to the area for any reason. Friendliest staff and the drinks are great. Bartender allowed us to try whatever we wanted until we found something we liked. "Don't worry, I want you guys to drink something you like." Small place, but not too small. Homey feel. All gender bathrooms and it's just a very comfortable and safe place for anyone looking for a good beer or cider. read more

We've been here twice. Atmosphere is punctuated by exposed brick, music that knows what vinyl is, and a hustling, friendly staff that knows the selection of brew down cold, if you'll excuse the pun. Brewing is done on premises; the selection is wide and delicious. Bring your own food. Don't expect to watch a game here- no TV. This is a social place for social folk who want to drink spectacular beer and enjoy human company. Lots of parking nearby. Part of Downtown Ossining's recent renaissance. Two minutes from food, transportation, and Hudson Views that would make God verklempt. We will be back again because fun and delicious, two things that humanity needs more of. read more

Can't say enough good things about my time here! I came in on a Sunday afternoon and it was nearly empty but slowly filled up. There's plenty of tables and bar seating. Because there weren't a lot of people we chatted with our bartender a lot about the selection and the place - she was the best. We got flights to sample a few things and I loved everything I had. The empanadas and pretzel bites were AMAZING. There's also a lot of board games to choose from. Overall had a great time here and I can't wait to check out more of their events. read more

Sing Sing Kill is a cool little brewery/tasting room/pub right in the middle of Ossining. My girlfriend moved into town a few days ago and I made a list of all the places I wanted to check out. It's basically three rooms: a foyer in the middle, a microbrewery to the left, and a bar and tasting room to the right. Everything is clearly visible from the street through big glass windows. It feels intimate but open - the bar room is spacious and furnished with dark wood. The malt and barley is stored in bags in the bar room. They have 10 - 15 beers on tap. Their beers range from wildly experimental (milkshake rye imperial) to right down the middle (farmhouse ale) and are consistently fresh and intriguing. There's definitely something for everyone here, whether you only drink Blue Moon or turn down anything that isn't a double IPA, but none of their beers sacrifice flavor, creativity or ABV in favor of pure accessibility. They opted for a new type of New York State license that requires them to serve products that contain a mandated amount of locally sourced ingredients, which starts at a low percentage and increases to 90% over the first year or so that the license is held. I'm really into this, not just because it supports small businesses but because it gives the beer a regional identity and flavor and contributes to an unparalled sense of freshness. Reccomend: Body Snatcher double IPA, farmhouse ale, all 3 of their rye-heavy beers Worth a 30 minute drive. Friendly and engaging staff. Price points on the upper end of reasonable but appropriate for the locally sourced ingredients, excellent overall experience, and aesthetic appeal of the location. read more

We only had time for one beer. Sorry I don't recall the name but it was awesome and one of their signature brews. Ask the bartender!

Great atmosphere and customer service! Everything on tap was delicious and enjoyable :)

Out of all the breweries I've been to that use *only* NY ingredients, Sing Sing Kill is the best. They aren't afraid to experiment with different styles and are proud of each one. And the tasting room is so cool. Very family-friendly and even though it's new it seems like its been there for ages. I saw in another review that they do spirits now?!?! ...I'll have to go back. read more

Sing Sing Kill is a great little brewery in a converted industrial space serving all manners of beers, meads and ciders, most of which are made from locally sourced ingredients. The owner and staff are friendly, attentive and more than happy to talk with you about the space, it's events and production methods, giving the bar a very personal feel. But what about the beer? It's fantastic. I had a smoked maple syrup stout - smooth, toasty and delicious without overwhelming the senses. The Cream Ale is also a delicious representation of the style - hazy, crisp and immensely drinkable. Come to this bar! read more

We stumbled upon this place during a road trip up north and Oh my goodness the beer was really terrific. They also did an amazing job with Covid and kept everything so clean. Definitely the best micro brewery around. We will definitely be coming back when we are in the area for a wonderful beer tasting. read more
