You know the saying "you get what you pay for"? This place is what they were talking about, but on…read morethe good side of that adage. It's pricy, but it's REALLY good. Hubs and I came for dinner with four friends a couple weeks back and though it was a splurge, I have no regrets. Everything I had was delicious. We had: Focaccia Roasted Carrots Wagyu strip Rhubarb Panna Cotta Pineapple Pavlova I also had a Freakin' Beacon mocktail. Everything was SO GOOD. That focaccia was like no other focaccia I'd ever had but was delicious; crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. The steak (med rare) was perfect to me, hubs thought it was a tiny bit too rare for him. It was super tender and easy to eat, perfect char. I couldn't eat the chimmichurri it came with as it has Thai basil (not usual in chimmichurri, but I'm allergic, and the server was very good about asking about allergies) but honestly, it didn't need it. That steak stood on its own. Both desserts were delicious, but to my surprise I think the pavlova was even better than the panna cotta (and I love panna cotta). The portions were very generous and I was pretty stuffed by the time I got home. Our portion of the bill was over $200 (hubs also had some cocktails and the steak alone was almost $90) but it was so good, we'll want to come back when we're in town for sure.

I had the blueberry crumble sour which I loved, and my partner had a mango beer which was also very good. This is easily a place that you can spend hours in.

Excited to have a great brewery nearby!

The bartender took our orders, we seated ourselves, got a few glasses of (tap) water and waited. The classic chicken sandwiches are classic for a reason! So good!

I'm not much a beer drinker but I might go back and try some next time I get a hankering for a sandwich :) 2 thumbs up!

You are welcomed as soon as you walk in and they make you feel like family right away. More than 30 unique sauces for your wings and chicken fingers. Ended up staying for several hours. Great conversation and you can tell the regulars that come here keep coming for a reason. The location is right in the heart of downtown Buffalo and plenty of on street parking. The music was good and the atmosphere is great. Prices are significantly better than most every other place I've been to, and the options are plentiful and unique. Highly recommend this place for drinks and food. A+! Check it out guys. You won't regret it.

Our waitress Kelsey was very friendly and sat down with us while taking our order. She also gave us some extra input of the wing choices. I started with a Kringle Juice, a very nice hazy Holiday IPA. Shortly after, our wings arrived; 1 order of mild Hayburner and 1 of Hot Honey. Both were very good. The hot honey are definitely my favorite, sticky but with a very tasty kick. Sorry, no wings picture. They looked so good we attacked them before taking a picture.

We ordered 10 of the Hayburner wings, medium heat, and 10 of the Hot Honey wings. We liked them both, but liked the Hot Honey ones more. The wings are served with blu cheese and a few( very few) pieces of celery. Our waitress, Kelsey, was very friendly and answered all of our questions about the menu! It was a very enjoyable dinner.

However, there was no popcorn, so they gave us some free nacho appetizers instead to share amongst everyone participating. They played the movie outside on their patio with a projector and blow up screen, which I wish it was advertised ahead of time that it was outside, so that we could be more prepared for the chilly weather. It also would have been better if they had their fire pit on and/or the space heater for those unprepared folks like us. Not your average Nachos 9/10 The corn tortilla chips were amazing by themselves. The queso, I was very surprised to taste homemade beer cheese (I didn't look at the menu before), it was really good and a little went a long way on those chips. I just wish the chips at the bottom had a teeeeny bit more. The only other topping was some shredded cheese. Salsa and sour cream were on the side, the salsa was good also.

CBW is close to five stars but not quite there yet for me…read more The outdoor space is beautiful, with a brick fireplace and nicely spaced-out seating, and I'll certainly be back to spend some time on it. I like the building overall and the split-level upstairs arcade makes it feel that you're exploring different rooms, which is entertaining, even if some of the pinball games were out of order. The cartoon-and-movie-themed wall art adds to the fun, funky vibe. I've had friendly interactions with the staff both times that I've been, and I love that they sample the beers before having you commit to a pint. My thing is that the beer is all solid, but I've never had one that's among my favorites. This is really more a description of my palate than a knock on their brewers--everything seems true-to-style and the prices are reasonable, but something's just not doing it for me. But Community Beer Works is doing a lot right, and I've only scratched the surface of the veg-friendly menu, so I'll likely be back to give some things a try. Nice dogs are welcome on the patio. Some off-street parking is available across the street.

I ended up playing several funny rounds of ad-libs with strangers which totally made the evening. I felt welcomed and comfortable, like I immediately was one of the regulars even my first time there. The beer is great and they have a ton of options including stuff on tap and in cans. Look for the tv on the wall for the list of current beers on tap; it's on the far left side of the bar just above the large front windows. My curly fries and chicken strips were perfection - think of the best possible version of those things and that's what I got here. This came with sides of BBQ sauce, blue cheese dip, and ketchup. I greatly enjoyed my pumpkin ale and would happily drink this again. I appreciate that there are so many vegan options on the menu (not my thing but it's nice to have a place to bring vegan friends!). A surprising very cool thing was the restroom. There is great art all over the walls! Check it out even if you don't need to, you won't regret it. I sat at the bar; there is another room with tables and a pool table and I think I spotted some hidden booths in the back. There are also a few outdoor tables out front. Lighting is pretty dim so if you're going to read a book, choose your seat strategically. General volume is on the louder side. Parking is on the street. I saw that they do trivia on Monday nights; there are a ton of flyers for upcoming events in the front window. Overall this was a very easy place to give five stars to.

I got the vegan Mac n cheese and the chicken tenders with fries. Everything I got wasn't good, the breading on the 'chicken' was disappointing and tasted like old oil. The vegan blue cheese was good surprisingly cuz I don't care for the real thing at all. The fries were fine but the Mac n cheese had absolutely no flavor, my kids said to me that mine was better and they aren't that picky with food elsewhere unless it doesn't taste like anything. For that I'll still be back to try other things cuz I appreciate the effort in making vegan food for us vegans out there.
