Big Ditch Brewing Company
Big Ditch Brewing was set up in an abandoned garage on 55 E. Huron St in 2014. Since then, they have grown into one of the most famous Buffalo breweries and serve delicious craft beers daily. The Big Ditch is a large spot with a 200-person sitting capacity in a two-story building. Its reputation has made it a hotspot for Buffalo residents. As a craft brewery, there are several house offerings, and there are always six to twelve fresh beers available on tap. Check their website for updates to their menu, which is always full of delicious food and beer.
Pearl Street Brewery
If you’re traveling to the La Crosse area, you have to check out the Pearl Street Brewery. It offers 16 craft beers on tap, each with a unique taste profile, making for quite the highlight experience. It stands proud on La Crosse’s waterfront as a sign of its rejuvenation. There’s plenty of seating, open space, and games – the ideal place to enjoy beer and growler refills.
The Pearl Street Brewery is a pet-friendly establishment tucked away in the heart of the industrial area. This gives it a unique aesthetic and a different experience from most Buffalo bars.
Buffalo Riverworks
Perched on Ganson Street in Buffalo, NY 14203, Buffalo Riverworks is one of the most revered entertainment spots. It is a splendid bar for beer and socializing. Guests get a striking view of downtown and the Erie Canal while having a good time at the Buffalo Fireworks. It’s also famous for its Fish Reuben, Tater Tot Poutine, and other delicacies. Other activities at the Buffalo Fireworks include a pleasant view of curling, roller derby, and hockey.
Ballyhoo Links & Drinks
Ballyhoo is a simple, unassuming outdoor bar for links, drinks, and unique brews. It feels like the local neighborhood bar and gives those homely bar vibes the locals love, but it is also a popular stop-over for visitors.
Their drinks menu is faultless, comprising well-executed classics and several other house recipes for the cocktails. The drinks come with music, but they also have a real “Jam Session” where you can taste different jams and combine them with a spirit of choice. The Ballyhoo may be a dive bar, but it doesn’t play by those standards; come here to enjoy a great atmosphere, a fantastic cocktails menu, and fantastic service.
Winfield’s Pub
At first glance, Winfield’s Pub looks like the kind of place fathers’ grandfathers and industrial workers would meet. Luckily, this is by design. Everything else apart from the aesthetics is similar, if not better than, a high-end city dinner. This is the place to go and indulge in food made from fresh homegrown ingredients and an extensive cocktail menu.
Hamburg Brewing Company
During the summer, visiting the Hamburg Brewery Company in Boston is a wonderful idea. The best part is that they are open night and day. It is well-coiffed, with a large seating area for guests and greenery. They have built-in fire pits to keep their visitors warm and cozy during the night. Buffalo, NY, residents can stop at the brewery and enjoy beer or pretzel sticks before heading home.
