14 Best Craft Breweries near Williamsville

“We had a mini family reunion at One Eyed Cat Brewing and 10/10 would recommend this location for any of your event needs. Kinzie was incredible to work with and the event was well organized and perfectly executed. The food and drinks were wonderful. We’ll be back both for events and just to have a drink in a great space!“

“12 Gates is definitely in a strange location if you've never been before, but it's totally worth the drive through the industrial park! The beer is always good, and really cheap for the quality! Everyone that works there is super friendly. It's a really cool spot!“

“Went there for dinner and drinks as they have the Hen House there on Thursdays with a really good special. This is a review about the brewery, though not the food. I’ve been there twice so far and have tried a few different drinks and they were all solid. Overall I wouldn’t say I’m a huge hard seltzer fan but I really love the cream soda one that they had on rotation at the time. Love me a cream soda, and it tastes so much like one, but with alcohol! In terms of beers, I tried the fruit sour beers called punchbowl, which had a couple varieties as well. If you’re into craft brews and maybe want to try something different with hard seltzers as well, I’d recommend giving them a visit. The staff is great and will let you try something before you buy the full size as well.“

“Great selection of tasty beers, extremely friendly atmosphere, and a lovely two-storey space to chill out and hang out! Plus, the pub is in the close vicinity of a very interesting native American-owned K Gallery. Don't miss any of the two places!“

“The pizza is excellent! I really shouldn't be reviewing it because I'm just making it hard for myself to get a seat next time ?Great NEIPA as well. Cozy dining space. Hoping they'll get popular enough to open more days of the week.“

“Love this place on the north end of Conesus like Anthony is great behind the bar. Very laid back atmosphere. Great clientele. I’ve DJed there a few times and everyone is very receptive. I’m looking forward being back there on April 15th“

“If you're looking for a warm and casual place to grab a fantastic brew, be sure to check out Magic Bear. Whether it's your first time or hundredth time visiting, you'll feel right at home. The owner, Craig, is knowledgable and one of the kindest shop owners you'll meet. If you're a beer nerd, Craig and his staff will never fail to give you a recommendation that matches or expands your palate. If you're not, they'll be just as sure to find something that you like. Definitely check this place out!“

“This place is a true gem. Some of the best local brew and food in town. They recently launched a new menu that outcompetes other local favorites like Coles and Colter Bay. It’s elevated bar food with cool takes on burgers, tacos, wings, sandwich’s, etc. Have gone the last two Fridays for the fish platter. The best I’ve had!“

“We visited Lilly Belle to see one very special band, Shaky Stage. Mead isn't one of our favorite drinks but we decided to give it a try. Visiting during "Restaurant Week" we opted for a restaurant week deal: 1-flight of mead (4 samples) and trusted the bartender to give a good choice. Not exactly sure of the names, but we believe we tried "Bobby", "Vintage", "Solstice", and "Black Magic". The Solstice was the one with a great strawberry charm that we liked best. We chased the flight with a glass of Rusty Nickle Brewing-Horns Up Belgian Single Ale; also quite good. The deal also included a small plate of "Famous Corned Beef Nacho" which is kettle chips toasted with Swiss cheese, corn beef, and topped with house made vinegar based coleslaw, bread and butter pickles, and thousand island dressing. It was a little messy to eat. The chips were quite small: maybe not meant for hand serving like Scoops would be. They did give one fork that my husband and I shared. The singlet eating plates were quaint and go figure, they each were of bee decoration. Our price for the evening was a mere $25.00. Quite excellent for a few drinks, snacker plate, AND a great band to listen to. The seating is also quite comfortable. Tall tables with backed tall stools. A garage door at the front of the store opened and let in great fresh air on a mild evening. The lights downtown and in the trees made for a magical walk along the town, and the lighting provided a safe walk.“

“Incredible atmosphere, the patio is the best I've seen by far. Great landscaping, pond, fires. The drinks and bartenders are always great and they always offer samples of the drafts. There isn't a better place to be if you're looking to get some drinks outside.“

“Had a great time tossing bags and tasting a few of the 40 brewz on tap! It was a pleasure meeting the folks there including the bartender and owner. Class acts all around and I highly recommend you stop in for a pint!!! There's no shortage of ciders either!!“

“We went there for the first time last night. The place is beautiful and I can't wait to go back for outdoor events when it gets nicer outside. The beer was good and the food was good. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We will be back!“

“Came here for the first time over the weekend. It was on my list to visit for quite a while. The atmosphere is excellent. The staff were very knowledgeable and seemed very enthusiastic about their beer offerings. I was very pleased with all of the beer that I tried. Very unique tastes, but it would appeal to an easy drinking type too. I didn't have a lot of time to explore all of their beer. But I definitely plan to return soon to do just that. I think they're one of the top breweries in Buffalo, in my opinion.I don't know if there's a market for opening earlier on a Thurs or Fri but that would be great if they were to do that. I'd love to come without bringing my kids.“

“This is my new favorite spot. The staff is super friendly and take the time to help explain the different brews which made for a great selection on my flight. Try the buffaloaloha before its gone it was to die for. Can't wait to go back“
