    people sitting at the bar
    Doug Y.

    The focus here is beer. They not only serve many craft beers at the bar, but they also have a small store on site where you can pick up something to take home with you. They also have refrigerated beer. Theres a nice seating area with couches and a fireplace and they have a patio for the hot summer nights. They have a handful of wines and ciders but it's mostly about the beer. It's not a full bar. We ordered some sandwiches but the grilled chicken was quite tough and the sandwich was fairly ordinary, so come for the beer, not the food.

    Maybe my new to go spot. Great selection and variety of beers on tap at decent prices. The food menu is limited but looks tasty. I only ordered the pretzel sticks which were about the same quality as you expect from other places that offer them. Came with a mustard and creole mustard, needs a beer cheese on the side, will need to suggest that. Staff accommodated me when the kitchen was closed and still served them which is a rarity around here. Seemed like some good Bills specials on Sunday and a $5 dollar blue burger on Tuesday I need to try. Bartender was knowledgable and helpful. small tastings were offered before purchase. The bar itself is really nice and a good spot to hang with friends. There is a small area with leather couches to lounge in but was monopolized all night by the same group. I heard from girls in the group that there was fancy hand lotions in the bathroom which they all came out smelling with it on. There is a solid selection of craft beers to purchase in cans or bottles which included a couple hard to gets in the area. Being so close to my house I will now have to stop in here before the village beer merch. Highly recommend for a pint or flight.

    Stopped in after a day of shopping. The perfect way to end a busy day! Cozy pub, very nice people, yummy food and great beer selection!! I had a stout, coffee flavored, so good! Can't recall the beer name but asked the bar keep to pick out something dark with a Carmel/coffee flavor and she did! Mmm! We enjoyed delicious sandwiches : sausages on pretzel buns while sipping our beer listening to a talented young man strum his guitar and sing some old tunes. It was fun! This was our second time stopping in and we will be back for sure!!

    Super cool and cozy place! A great place to grab a beer on a lazy hazy Saturday. Super glad my friends recommended we meet up at this place! I had a flight of 3 and they shared a flight of 6. Awesome selection to choose from. I liked how there was multiple seating choices, bar area, pub high tables, comfy couch area and outdoor patio. They even had nice selection of beer in cans and bottles for purchase to go as well. If you are a beer fan like me, it's worth a visit. I think there were anout 25 beers on tap. Drew was really friendly too. I definitely plan on stopping by again.

    Though the name "emporium" evokes a Willy Wonka-esque vision in my mind, I really did have a great time at Murphy Brown's last weekend. They're located in a newer strip plaza on Main Street in Clarence, so there's plenty of parking. There's a side room next to the main bar area, used for private events...so when we arrived and the crowd was singing "Happy Birthday", it threw us off a little bit! We weren't sure if the place was closed for a private function or not. Regardless, we made our way to an open spot at the bar and perused the beer selections. They had 25 taps I believe, many of which were beers I had never had before. My boyfriend and I got a flight of 6 to share. My favorite was the Orkney Skull Splitter Scotch ale, but I also really liked the Founders ReDANKulous Imperial Red IPA (a whopping 10% ABV). Along with the extensive tap list, they also offer a small pub menu-- we ordered fries to share. Their fries were okay, but coated too heavily with salt. I did really like the 2 dipping sauces that accompanied the fries however-- zesty orange and sweet bourbon mustard (yum!). In addition to being a craft beer bar, they're also a bottle shop, so it was fun to peruse their selection once we were ready to leave. Comparatively to other bottle shops I've been to in the area, the selection was small, but still impressive. Beyond the bottle shop area, there is additional seating available...it's kind of cut-off awkwardly from the rest of the establishment, but seemed to be a nice place for those with younger children to sit and relax. I think Murphy Brown's is a great place to casually hang out with a group of friends, while at the same time being exposed to some different beers. I don't mind that they had TV's in the bar area...but I hope they don't steer to much towards being a sports bar, rather than a craft beer destination.

    Chicken fajita pizza ! A Must try! So amazing , can't wait to go back and get another one
    Heather P.

    I'm still thinking of the pizza.. amazing to say the least. It was homemade chicken fajita. I love Mexican. I love pizza. And I love them homemade. Put them together, love at first bite, so yeah , ya gotta try it ! The menu was small which I liked. The simpler the better. And that means they can put more love into the things they do make. We talked with the owner most of the time we were there and he was very nice. I'm not a big beer drinker, but I did try one. They had wines as well, but common, who gets wine at a brewery ? I forgot the name of the one I had but it tasted like chocolate , and I love chocolate , so it was right up my ally. My friend got a cider and that was really good. They had beer shop connected to the bar- I'm gonna assume they had the beers on tap there to purchase. The place was so cute and cozy. I could go into details but you should just go and visit for yourself ;)

    Beer flight - writing the names of the beers in chalk is a nice touch
    Eric L.

    Great atmosphere and beer selection. The hosts were knowledgeable and helped guide everyone with their beer selections. The space was designed well - open but had defined areas for conversation and watching the game. The food was very good, but it's not a place to go for dinner. The fifth star is for the great service the staff gave - Very accommodating and helpful. Nice addition to a strip of Clarence that really needed a place like this.

The place itself is inviting as you pull up, it's basically a victorian style house converted into what is a very cool, casual, dog friendly, brewery & eatery. The service was instantly friendly, inviting and knowledgeable about their beer selection. I tried several and all were really good. Note: if you like sours try the Cherry Cobbler sour it is over the top tasty! Also had the Cran Orange Ale which I could have drink a second one of easily too. Now on to the food... I am from Texas, and am a bit picky over BBQ, especially Brisket. Y'all there's nothing worse than a dry piece of smoked brisket... just sayin'. Anyway, I ordered a couple apps and the two meat plate with Chicken & Brisket, Beans, Slaw & the Mac Salad. Y'all, the brisket was moist tender and nicely marbled. I ate half of it before even opening the sauces! Same to be said for the Chicken, it was tender, with the perfect little hint of smoke, legit delicious! I highly recommend this spot when visiting the area... I will definitely be back my next time through.

We went inside and both ordered a flight. Found out they don't serve food but did have a big selection of chips to choose to I assume cover covid requirements. I normally lean toward IPAs so got a few of them on my flight along with a sour. Quickly realized I'm not a sour fan but the IPAs were all good. My husband got the Octoberfest and BBA Imperial Stout. They only had about 1/2 a glass left of that and offered to give him another full glass of another kind. Actually turned out that was his favorite so we'll need to go back when they have more available. We sat outside in their back patio area. A few more people arrive but was still pretty quiet though I'm sure that changes later. No music playing but a nice day to sit outside. If you're looking for the place, it's the last building you'll see before the antique world parking lot. We'll be back to see what other offerings they may have.

Unfortunately, I can't drink beer anymore, but still enjoy going to breweries. They do have cider! The owner, behind the bar, was very nice and friendly.

It is right in between a construction company, and the antique mall, so if you blink, you'll miss it. I drove past.

With a solid selection of house brews and a few cocktails as well, they also have an outdoor patio featuring a french fry stand and a stage for live music during the warm months. I'm also told they're partnering with revived hot dog brand Mister Sizzle to boost their food offerings in the near future. Not a whole lot to say, but they aren't trying to be much more. Not much of a nightlife in the outer exurbs of Buffalo, but this charming little brewpub certainly more than compensates for that.

Cool outdoor patio but if it's a hot day, the indoor space just doesn't provide comfort. I want to be on board with everyone else about this place, but I didn't like a single beer in the flight that I ordered & some aspects made me uncomfortable. It is definitely a local pub, with the 10 people that were already there. Everybody was watching when we came in, which, if you've ever experienced this you know it's uncomfortable and makes you feel like an outsider. The owner was nice, but he definitely was buzzed when he was trying to have conversations with us. This is just not a place. I would feel comfortable coming back to. The bartender was amazing though. She was super fun and friendly and made the whole experience worth going there.
