Latest reviews from Matera

“An Osteria located on one of the main streets of modern Matera, it is quite a large venue capable of seating about 40 inside at tables and 30 outside at tables. There is also a long bar on one side to sit at. On the night of my visit there were five taps operating with four Italian crafts and one main-stream German, plus there was also an array of cans. Non-beer includes wine, cocktails and soft drinks/soda. Glass size varies on the beer type (20-40cl) and prices are craft beer scene at €3-7 per glass. There is a decent enough meals list at reasonable prices. Service was 'relaxed'.“

“A moderate sized bar on the street side in central Matera that is popular with locals of all ages. Immediately inside is the bar itself where the taps are located and which seats/stands only a few. Inside there are also tables that, in total, seat about 18 (best to book if dining in) while outside is a patio area which seats about 16. There are chalk boards both inside and out listing the current beers available and at the time of my visit there were six beers - four draught and two bottles - all of their own brews. Prices are craft beer scene (€5-6/40cl glass and €5/33cl bottle). No flights are available however bottles can be bought to take away. It is mostly bar service which is attentive to locals while over-all service varies from 'relaxed' to helpful and friendly. Being right in town this is really worth a visit for their beers.“

“Il tempo sembra fermarsi quando vai al Birrificio 79. Posizionato in una delle piu' suggestive vie del centro di Matera, puoi fermarti a rifocillarti a dovere e bere fantastiche birre di loro produzione. Ottime le pietanze, materie prime locali preparate in modo impeccabile. Selezione musicale da brivido. Non vuoi piu' andare via, e nessuno ti mette fretta.“

“Fairly long modern cave style place near the Sassi in Matera. A good selection of Italian taps and bottles with some foreign stuff as well, it offers a very different selection of beers to Groove over the other side. Didn’t really try the food. Service was friendly though a little slow at times but nothing to bad. Well worth visiting if you’re in Matera along with Grove.“

“Visited early on a couple of weekday evenings, from around opening at 7pm to around 9.30pm. Fairly quiet with a few locals around, mostly sat on the terrace outside. Groove is a modern bar and certainly doesn’t look like a craft beer destination from the outside, until you step in and see the wall of bottles on the right. The selection isn’t huge, but is good for Southern Italy, with the focus being on imported brews (mostly EU, a couple of US). Supposedly they don’t stock many Italian beers as they’re too expensive, shame. So no real surprises for the spoiled beer nerd, but definitely some nice stuff to drink and some ticks if you’re that way inclined. Service was good, helpfull and friendly. Can’t comment on the food as we didn’t eat there. Prices are very fair by Italian standards, with De Molen bottles cheaper than back home in The Netherlands. Definitely worth visiting if you are in Matera.“

“Visited around 21.30 on a Wednesday evening. Located very centrally, you walk down some stairs into an open courtyard area with a bar and tables/chairs, from here there’s a covered area and another fairly large bar area, both old Matera Sassi cave style. Of the three Matera places listed on Ratebeer, this certainly has the most charm, but the least selection. You can come here and have an ok beer for a reasonable price, but don’t expect anything unusual. When I visited they had Ciney Bruin, Bitburger, Bear Beer, Guiness and Hacker Pschorr Oktoberfest beer on tap, as well as about 5 import bottles. Fairly quiet when I visited but with several locals around, indie rock music played at a reasonable volume and friendly enough service with minimal English spoken. Worth popping in for a drink but isn’t a craft beer destination. Choices are slim in southern Italy though.“

“Unfortunately for us, we arrived shortly before they were closing for the night. They had about 4-5 beers on tap, but only one I found interesting, but didn’t really care for after tasting it. However, there were many good craft beers on bottle, especially great Italian ones. They even had the local beer from Matera, Jazz. The owner definitely knows his craftbrews and hopefully more people in Matera will start to appreciate craftbeer! Next time I hopw to see some italuan ceaft beer on tap!“

“Di sicuro tra i migliori locali di Matera. Selezione invidiabile e cucina squisita. Il personale sempre molto accogliente, cordiale e soprattutto competente. Se poi ci aggiungiamo anche l’ottima musica il quadro è completo. Se passate da queste parti fateci un salto e non ne rimarrete delusi.“

“Valutazione un pò stretta eheh Una birreria con ristorante annesso di prima qualità. Ambiente elegante ma al tempo stesso non troppo formale, staff cordiale e sempre disponibile. Per quanto riguarda la selezione non ci si può lamentare, ce n’è per tutti ! birre di ogni genere, in questa birreria abbiamo l’accoppiata perfetta qualità/quantità. Anche al cibo non si può fare nessuna critica, c’è solo da fare i complimenti allo chef che rende il ristorante in grado di soddisfare ogni cliente. P.S: non chiedete caffè, ci troviamo in una birreria non in un bar o pub !“

“Davvero un ottimo locale, a mio parere il migliore di cui la città di Matera possa vantare. Vasta selezione di OTTIME birre artigianali scelte con cura. La cucina è eccezionale ed è capace di accontentare anche i palati più esigenti. La "colonna sonora" di sottofondo è sempre azzeccata grazie alle note Jazz che accompagnano con armonia e tranquillità la serata. è inutile dire che l’intero Staff è sempre pronto nell’ aiutare con grande passione i clienti indecisi nella scelta delle tante birre o dei piatti. è un invito a tutti ad andarci, tenendo ovviamente conto che è una birreria con cucina, non un bar con caffè :)“
