Just doesn’t have the atomsphere of the old location on Niagara Falls blvd, the beers on tap can be good...cb’s strawberry blonde is enjoyable, lunch special is a great value and the blackened chicken wings are incredible

Drove almost two hours to test this place out. Didn’t care much for the location or the decor. A peculiar smell (a combo of mothballs and latrine disinfectant) was the first thing that hit you when you entered. Not a good first impression. Staff was polite, friendly and speedy. Sampled the nachos; still trying to figure out what "taco meat" is. Beer selection looked good on paper but the four I sampled were bland and relatively flat. Bought a souvenir pint glass and realized afterward that it was used; thankfully it only cost $2 but I doubt I’ll ever use it. Doesn’t come close to fitting the "brewpub" genre at all. Maybe my expectations are too high but I wasn’t impressed at all.

They have about 10 of "their" beers on tap here that are contract brewed by Custom brewcrafters. The beers are average at best. Service is ok. The atmosphere is sort of lacking. It’s basically like a bar are a Ruby Tuesday, etc. Food was decent.

Food is pretty much standard pub grub/family restaurant fair. Beer list is mainly "house beers" made by custom brewcrafters, which are usually average at best. They also have a few other micros on tap like middle ages. Service is decent. I am not to crazy about the crowd that frequents this joint when its busy, but its not bad when business is slow. Overall a decent place.

Decent place, all things considered. Fair tap selection. Food was pretty good. Was crowded as hell on a Saturday evening, but they're open for lunch and I've been one of two people at the bar before. Not the best in the area, but not bad.

Disconcerting to find a bar split into the bar area and family dining next door. Atmosphere was mediocre, but not awful. Service was friendly and not bad, but I was a bit surprised to get a single bill for seven guys seated at the bar. Wings were excellent, though the sauce heat scale was higher than I anticipated. (I got medium sauce on the side and it was a big much for my weak tolerance) Blue cheese dipping sauce was some of the best I have had. The option to order a sampler tray is a nice plus that I didn't actually utilize.

I wasn't so keen on the atmosphere. The smoke-free thing was nice, but it was altogether too bright and spit-polished for a guy like me. The beer list is mostly house-brews, made by Custom Brewcrafters, so all right but not mind-blowing. I enjoyed my meal. I always, when in Buffalo, get "Buffalo food", which in this case was deep-fried ravioli. Anyway, as Buffalo places go, I'd put it below the Plant and Papa Jake's.
