The brewery itself produces many beers and the kitchen has a great selection of food items as well as daily specials. The space is kid and family friendly where it is fully accessible (stroller friendly!). There are board games you can play and a small kids corner if your children want to play with a huge connect four as well. In terms of parking, there are lots of spots throughout the parking lot. In the summer there is also a small patio to enjoy your beers and food. Menu wise, the variety of dishes include classics like a burger and poutine as well as pasta and a vegetarian banh mi. There is also a small kids menu as well. Drinks menu wise, there is a large list of beers to choose from as well as a small list of wines, ciders, and non-alcoholic options. I had a party of 5 (4 adults and 1 baby) dine at Counterpart Brewery recently. Staff were accommodating where there was a high seat available for the baby. The space is spacious although in some areas it may be harder to fit a stroller through, but either way the space is very kid and family friendly (we saw many kids and families during our time there!). Service was great and the staff were friendly. The menu is accessed through a QR code via your phone which is at the table. My party ordered the following: - Fried chicken sandwich (b&b pickles, pickled jalapenos, cabbage slaw, and sriracha mayo) - $17 - Porchetta sandwich (slow roasted Italian pork, salsa verde, crispy crackling, arugula) - $17 - House cut fries (old bay, malt vinegar aioli) - $10 - Peach Chardonnay cider from Niagara Cider Company - $10 - Grilled jerk chicken plate (grilled pineapple, house cut fries, red cabbage slaw, cilantro) - $27 I tried the fried chicken sandwich and the porchetta sandwich. Both sandwiches were delicious! In terms of the fried chicken sandwich, the chicken (which was dark meat) was tender and juicy. The pickles and slaw complimented the chicken well where the sandwich didn't feel heavy. The overall sandwich wasn't spicy even though there were jalapenos and sriracha mayo. The porchetta sandwich was also great as well which was served on a ciabatta style bun. The pork was tasty and the salsa verde added so much flavour to the sandwich. The crispy crackling definitely added some textural contrast to each bite. Overall, a great place with delicious eats and friendly service! If you enjoy beer they have a great selection to choose from. The place is also very family friendly with lots of parking outside. A must try if you are in the Niagara Falls area!

Absolutely phenomenal. Canada does not generally have the same craft beer craze going on like the…read moreUS does. But this place knocks it out of the park. They are located on the edge of Niagara, outside all the touristy areas, in a cleanly built space with indoor and outdoor seating. Their menu is online and includes small plates and a small selection of changing main features. Start with their spent grain sourdough, marinated olives, and house pickles while you think about it. The beer list includes a few lagers, pale ales, and sours but focuses on the hazy IPAs. And boy are they smooth and flavorful. Singles, doubles, and triples will rival anything you have had anywhere. Ordering and service are on the fly--just stand the QR code flag up at your table for someone to swing by anytime you want something new. A friendly server will get you hooked up with your next plate or libation in no time. As an important aside, kids are welcome, and there is a kids menu available.

Came on a Wednesday afternoon for a party of 6. Seems like they prefer the entire party to arrive at the same time to be seated cause the hostess kept asking how long it'll take for everyone else to arrive. They don't accept reservations and there's a limit of 90 mins during peak hours. Our server was patient and gave suggestions on what to order. I came for the nachos and it was HUGEEE, layered perfectly and was a hit at our table. Our server recommended the strawberry salad - a seasonal item for the summer months as well as pear-isean pizza, love the hot honey! Would definitely return to try out other items on the menu if I'm ever in the area!

They left so much of the character from the church and it looked great!! It was all done so well! Arched windows and doors, church pews against one wall for seating at the smaller tables. My boyfriend tried two beers while we were there and wound up getting some to go as well. They do have a food menu although we didn't order any food during our visit.

We were especially looking forward to trying the pizzas because we'd heard so many great things about them. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we found out that the pizzas are only served during the week, while the weekend menu is a smaller BBQ-focused menu. We were pretty disappointed because the pizza was a big reason we wanted to visit. That also made things a little difficult for my vegetarian wife, as there was really only one vegetarian main option available: the Sweet Potato Al Pastor. Unfortunately, she wasn't a fan. She found it lacking in flavour and the texture was very mushy. I went with the Brisket, which was decent. The meat was nice and tender, but it was a little dry and, in my opinion, quite overpriced for what you get. The Queso Nachos were much better. The "Hey There!" sauce they put on them was absolutely delicious and added a ton of flavour. We also enjoyed the Pretzels, which were tasty. The beer was definitely one of the highlights of the visit. We tried several and really enjoyed them, especially the Sour Cherry Berliner, Apricot IPA, Raspberry Sweet Tea Ale, and Lemonade Lavender Ale. They're all really unique beers with some interesting flavours, and there were several that I hadn't tried before. We did find the prices throughout the brewery to be pretty steep. Personally, I'm also not a huge fan of paper menus and plastic cups at a brewery/restaurant like this...it just makes the experience feel a little cheaper than it needs to. That being said, the patio is really nice, and we definitely aren't writing Oast House off. We plan on coming back to try the pizzas during the week and explore more of their seasonal beers. This particular visit was just okay, but there's enough here that we're willing to give it another shot. For more brewery, food, and travel reviews, check out our YouTube channel A&M Roam!

Attentive service both from the bartender downstairs entering the establishment as well as the workers/ servers upstairs.

For Round two ordered the Farmhouse ale, loaded with deep orange hops and a peppery bite in the aftertaste.
