As far as breweries go, this is the best of the best. This place is massive! There are two bars indoors on the first floor and a bar upstairs. They have a pet-friendly outdoor patio complete with fire pits, Cornhole and plenty of water dishes for the dogs. Plenty of indoor or outdoor seating if you are looking for a place to grab some food. You have the option of ordering food online or at their self-serve kiosk. Then you get a text message when your food is done. It's an amazing system that I wish more places had. The food is pretty good but inconsistent. I've been there where the items taste and look homemade and sometimes I've gone and the food looks store bought (I'm talking about you, cookies). I've had the specialty hot dogs, poutine, etc. All good food that you would expect to find at a brewery. The beers are fantastic and I would recommend the sponge candy Stout and the Loganberry wit. Two perfect Buffalonian beers! read more

I'm in the service industry in Buffalo and have literally never seen a more miserable staff at another bar/restaurant. I've been here a few times now and many of the employees are not only unfriendly but rude and have no manners. Some are great and the food was good but the attitude of the staff needs to be fixed. read more

Had the pulled pork sliders at our fantasy football draft and there was a twist tie in the pork, beer was good.

Totally cavernous brew pub- could be a little smaller because were here alone. The weekend crowds may fill this one but now I'm thinking it could have a basketball court. Yes read more

I work at Ingram Micro and we have done a few "virtual beer tours" with Resurgence and they are always amazing to work with. Connor Bradbury is very responsive and ensures all needs are met. He even personally dropped off a shipment to make sure if got to an attendee in time even when they forget to register he still made it happen! We love working with them, they service, goods, food, and beer are THE BEST!! read more

No service for people over 50 years old. Completely ignored for 20 minutes. Finally left. read more

I'd compare their food to the freezer section of any grocery store. Or something you can get at McDonald's. At least at McDonald's it probably wouldn't come with a black fly in it.. like our burger did. "It's that time of the year" and "you're outside" were the managers responses and thennn the food was removed from the bill. It's a great place to drink and socialize.. just maybe eat before. read more

I'm going to break my review down into a couple parts, because yes my experience here was that bad. Overall aesthetic and atmosphere: Great! Very nicely designed place, although I'm of the opinion that anyone can take an warehouse-type building, put up some light fixtures and some tables and call it an "industrial spot." Beer/drinks: Beer was okay. Not my favorite, and certainly not as good as other breweries in the area, but I have no real complaints. The Arnold Palmer was delicious. We even bought a growler of it! Liquor-- nope. There are five cocktails on the menu and their liquor selection is very, very minimal. Vodka, rum, whiskey, gin, and tequila. No flavors, no specific brands, nothing special. So if you are not a beer drinker, you better make yourself into one if coming here. I tried the "FU Awesome" cocktail, more like FU Awful. I've had better tasting vomit. Food: PATHETIC. Their entire menu is burgers, which would be fine if their burgers weren't absolute trash. I got the veggie burger, it was drier than the Sahara and I had to eat it with a fork because it crumbled onto my plate the second I picked it up. There was also barely any sauce to be seen and the seasoning belonged on a milk carton because it was MISSING. My boyfriend got the Chicago style burger. Same problems. Another member of our party got the "tacos." I put that in quotations because they were the furthest thing from tacos I've ever had. I grew up on the west side in a Hispanic family. Those "tacos" were laughable! They should've just called them chicken chunks on a flat piece of bread slathered in vomit, because that is what they were. Only decent thing I ate was their soft pretzel, but that's pretty hard to screw up. They still did though, their "beer cheese" was more like baby vomit. It was so bad that we actually placed bets on who could eat the most of it. Absolute garbage and overpriced garbage at that. I would've rather dined in the dumpster behind a better brewery. 0/10, food was disgusting, I will never return. Service: I'm sorry, what is that? There was none to be seen here! Drinks took over a half hour to arrive, food took about an hour, and the check took almost two hours. Worst service ever, despite having very adequate staff who still found time to stand around on their phones. I normally wouldn't mind slower service if I was enjoying my food and drinks, but I was begging to get out of this dump the first chance I could. Overall, save your time. Save your money. Save your tastebuds. Save your will to live. Go anywhere but here. I recommend NY Beer Project. Very good. Bottom line: If gentrification had a taste, it would be Resurgence Brewery. read more

We had brunch here and I must say, Stewart was extremely attentive, efficient, and friendly :) The food was great and we spent a good portion of our afternoon having great laughs over drinks all while creating amazing memories in this beautiful brewery. We will definitely make this a 'regular' trip on our brunch schedule. Can't wait to go back! read more

Went after a hockey game across the river. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Perfect place for Saturday afternoon beers and food. Can't wait to go back. read more

Bartenders don't seem too friendly. We were the only ones there at that point when we walked in and they didn't even welcome us or look up at us for a few minutes while we waited by the bar (2 bartenders). It's really appreciated even if you say "Hi, be with you in a minute." I understand it's covid times, but if you're in the service industry I think you should just try to act a little more friendly. OK beers. Also, why is beer so expensive when it's brewed it right on site? read more

We came for my sister in laws bridal shower, Ken, Terrence and Bridget took care of us and they were absolutely amazing! It was the perfect venue and the food was wonderful. Very nice set up for an event. Thank you! read more

My favorite brewery in buffalo. They have great food (shout out to the Brussel sprouts), awesome beer, and a great ambiance. Taps rotate a lot so we never get bored. Fun events happen all the time. Last week was a silent disco. The dining room is quieter if you want a restaurant experience, the main room is your normal brewery vibe where you order at the bar with tables and seating available to you, and the outside area has fire pits to keep you warm and cute lights. I've never had a bad time here read more

We were really looking forward to a cold beer and bite to eat at Resurgence on a beautiful fall Saturday afternoon. It was packed when we got there, which was understandable, but the bar service was not at all up for the task of serving a crowd. The bar tender completely ignored us as we waited patiently for at least ten minutes. She served just a corner of the bar, neglecting a large section of customers in the middle. Between that and the very loud noise level, we had no interest in sticking around. We won't be going back there any time soon. read more

I am going to give this place the benefit of the doubt because it just opened and because of Covid, but I would like to share a few highlights of my visit. To start on a positive note, the ambiance is beautiful. There is plenty of seating available outside (there are two outside areas) and the brewery is spacious on the inside. The beer was delicious. On the downside, it seemed as if the place was understaffed. I'm not sure if this was due to Covid or if they weren't anticipating to be as busy, but my waitress was barely available and I had to flag her down to ask for water refills 3 times (she never checked how we were doing with our waters and seemed only concerned about our beers). Also, my 13 dollar burger patty was the size of a slider, was dry and overcooked and my sweet potato fries were cold and had no flavor whatsoever. I didn't even bother to ask for salt and pepper because the waitress was busy and it was difficult to flag her down. Needless to say, I would totally recommend this place for the beers (which were delicious) but not for dinner. read more

Resurgence Brewing Co - RBC Burger - Breweries Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Had a great afternoon at the new location! Met a bartender named Ryan. He was not only charming but educational. I had a lot of questions about the new beers on the list and he was very knowledgeable on the beers and gave great recommendations. Happy I chose to try to the Chicago street location, had a great time!!! read more

Their new facility is definitely worth a visit. The place is a huge space, with a couple of bars and then tables and spaces to congregate. You can either stay in the large bar area or sit for table service. Every single table and barstool was taken, with walkways full of groups of people on a Friday night. They had a live band as well that sounded great. There beer selection was great. They always have such a variety here, so even people like me who are not as adventurous with beer have plenty of things to choose from. I had two different new England IPAs and they were both delicious. The food was ok - we had a burger and poutine from their variety of bar style options with modern twists. The burger had good flavors but was overcooked. You really go here for the beers and ambiance. read more

After the experience we had at the Kegs n Eggs Brunch this past weekend, I'm really hoping that Resurgence can rally to make any future events a little more user friendly. When we arrived about 5 minutes prior to our 1:00 res, we were seated but told " You're a little early but we'll get you some waters right away", which almost felt like we were being shamed for arriving on time? Our server did come over right away and took drink orders, and she was as friendly as could be managed over the next 2 hours while we waited for our food to come out. It was explained at least three times that the kitchen was backed up; which was obvious due to the lack of food being delivered to tables that were seated prior to ours. After we told our server, who looked to be frustrated almost to tears, to cancel our order-the food started coming out. It was cold and greasy, not at all appetizing. We generously tipped our very deserving server and left. We have been to resurgence on Chicago St a few times both pre and post Covid, things have always been excellent as far as food and service goes. We felt very uneasy about this experience on a whole which prompted this review. It's a great space, and we'll definitely be back, but probably not for a while. read more

Came here with my wife and parents a few months ago. Wanted to try out the new location while in town, and was pleased with our visit. I enjoyed this location including an actual restaurant, as this was always a strike against the old location for me. Food wise, I split some wings and poutine. The wings were very good, sufficient size and good flavor and heat with the medium sauce. The poutine was fine, definitely lacking s little in the amount of gravy included. One positive/negative was the large windows at the front of the building which look very nice, but didn't include blinds, making it a little uncomfortable to face that direction seated at the table on the bright, sunny evening we were there. Beer wise, I always liked Resurgence, but they never truly impressed me. That changed a bit on this trip; I needed a flight to try all the beers I wanted. I had the Bridge Pilsner, which was a pretty average pils. The Surge, a NEIPA, was good, as was the Conehead IPA, Legend of the Cone, which is a must try for anyone who has ever bought a beer from Conehead at a Bisons game. My favorite was the Rum BA Head in the Clouds, an IPA that received a nice touch with the slight rum flavor. Resurgence is always a brewery I like, and am very likely to return to this location. Food was good enough for a newer location, and I believe it will continue to improve. read more

My wife came in right at opening after a long bike ride. There were only a few people there so we were able to talk with the waitress a little longer to see how things have been since they just opened this location. The inside space is amazing with a large open area for people to sit and two different bars. They also have a cool outside area to sit out on a nice day and relax. We ended up doing two flights that had all the different beer selections and also one cider. There was not a single one that I didn't like and they all had distinct flavors and tones. I order some chicken wings and they were excellent. I tried two different flavors and they were both very good. My wife had a burger and said it was cooked perfectly and also had tons of flavor. The menu is simple but has good selections and is perfect for the atmosphere. I highly recommend that people check out this new location and spend some time enjoying the great craft beers. read more

First visit to this second location, so I will give it three stars to be generous. I want them to up their food game and change my mind. The space itself is gorgeous, large rooms with exposed pipes and one of the dining areas (where we sat) is right next to the brewing equipment. Great light fixtures and a bustling space. Little "alley like" area with cornhole and some other seating for a somewhat beer garden feel, but nothing like the outside seating at the OG location. We came for dinner and unfortunately were underwhelmed. Poutine to start--nice thick gravy, good amount of cheese, a bit salty bc the fries were already seasoned. Might get again, but would rather try charcuterie or the pretzel next time. I got the buffalo fried chicken sandwich and if I was basing my review just on that, I'd give two stars at most. The piece of chicken was measly. I don't mean to sound gluttonous, but I've had a larger (and tastier) chicken sandwich from Chik Fil A. The bun overshadowed the chicken. And it didn't really taste like fried chicken, more just buffalo hot sauce flavor with a tiny bit of breading. At $13, served with fries, nothing to write home about. My partner got the pulled pork and it was completely sauceless and lacking the pickles mentioned in the description. She had to ask for sauce to even be able to taste the special Resurgence beer bbq sauce. The roll couldn't handle the moistness of the pork; a heartier crusty roll would be better suited. But if they can't put together a bbq sandwich or a simple fried chicken sandwich, maybe they should stick to just apps and drinks and not have a full food menu. The beers we shared in a flight were amazing and of the quality we have come to love with Resurgence. So no qualms there. But the food and along with the somewhat "space cadet" type service we got, makes us feel this was a lackluster experience. We'd go back to maybe get some beer and a snack or the special desserts, but otherwise we will stick to the beer garden at the Niagara street location. read more

I always loved Resurgence but this new location is amazing. Such a large space. Beautiful patio with numerous gas fire pits. Eclectic chandeliers and lighting. Clean bathroom lots of parking. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. The meat and cheese board was one of the best I ever had. Only thing I missed was the games, but overall I love it here and can't wait to go back. read more

Resurgence Brewing Co - Flight of beers, they were all enjoyable! I can never pick just one. - Breweries Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Awesome beer, and good food considering the Covid situation. Retro-cool industrial place... and it's HUGE.

Love the new location and the variety of spaces in the building! I went on a nice summer night and the courtyard was perfect. Lights were strung above, with fire pits and multiple areas for seating. We were able to get a table and also played cornhole. On the inside, there are also a ton of tables that you are able to seat yourself, with 2 large bars. I got a summery citrus beer which hit the spot, with the citrus notes made it a perfect summer beer. It was a great environment the gather with friends. There was an area in the inside separate for waited service. Unfortunately we didn't try any food and didn't check out the 2nd floor space. Can't wait to come back to enjoy another. read more

I went to Resurgence last night and got loaded nachos. They were not good at all. I am not normally a stingy person, but it was basically just a plate of chips with a sprinkling of toppings I was very disappointed. I ended up giving three stars because even though I didn't enjoy the food, it is a really nice environment to enjoy a beer and relax on the patio. read more

Great atmosphere, love the outdoor patio area! This place has something for everyone, even if you don't love craft beer.

Rasberrry Lemonade Sour is the perfect summer drink! Great new venue just behind Tewksbury on Ohio Street. The chandeliers are a little foo foo, kind of fancy for the ladies. Would be a great place for an event or party. read more

Ah.. I am so glad that this place opened up. I live pretty close by and this is a regular destination for me. I have brought out of town guests here on multiple occasions and they have all loved the atmosphere that they created here. Their IPA is freakin amazing, their food is great, and the decor is super cool, but most of all, I enjoy the patio with the fire pits and live music. Please keep building great places like this in Buffalo! read more

Such a cool place to hang out with friends, co workers, etc. They brought outdoor games indoors with corn hole, trivia cards on the tables, and mixed WNY into craft beers with their loganberry wit and sponge candy stout. read more

Resurgence is awesome! It's great fun. I ordered a pina colada sour beer. It was recommended by the bartender. I thought it sounded odd but I tried it. It was delicious! It was one of the best beers I've ever had. The atmosphere was great. The bartenders are friendly and fun. The beer is fresh and delicious. I highly recommend read more

The atmosphere, the beer to the food are all 5 stars. Must try their IPA and their appetizers, we got 5 different appetizers and they were all unreal read more

I wasn't a fan of the first resurgence just because the building was very small and it was always very hard to hang out with people there because it was so crowded and didn't have that many seats. Also, I once had a really bad experience with the bartender there. The new resurgence brewery however is so beautiful. The interior is so cool and has a great vibe, the decor is industrial design. There is an outside seating area with fire and lights and the inside has many different areas for seating as well. The beer is ok too. The food was really bad though. I should say that I got there at like 9:59 and the waitress said the menu switches to late night menu at 10 pm. So there weren't that many options. I got the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and fries. The sandwich was really bland and had no toppings. A mediocre bread, some pieces of meat and a lot of cheese. Even the fries weren't good. But I will go back just for drinks and the cool vibe. read more

Horrible nachos, beer was okay. Atmosphere is good. Would come here again but there is no reason to ever serve sub par nachos.

Great new place. Visiting to lay my father in law to rest and brought the family out for dinner. Atmosphere is great. Beers are great. Food is great! Wings were really well done with great quality chicken. Beef on Weck was really fresh amd flavorful. Bun was a little salty but you can scrape that off to taste. Burger was nothing amazing but still good and still worth it. Really great place! read more

Great crowd, beautiful aesthetic, outdoor bonfires, corn hole and good fries. Family friendly.

The new resurgence is absolutely beautiful. You can go up to a touch screen and order your own food too which is super convenient! The drinks are amazing, their beer and cocktails of course. There's outdoor games to play too. Def a place to check out if you haven't already read more

I'm rating a beer, Buffalo Breakfast Stout. 2021 version. Sounds great on paper. In the mouth? Terrible. It's odd to think that Resurgence as one of the more veteran brewers, still makes lousy dark beers. I mean, really lousy dark beers. I don't generally drink yellow beers, so I can't speak to that market. This is watery, flavorless, flat, and just generally a drain pour. For $14/4, that's a lot of wasted money. The ONLY beer I find worth the money is the Imperial BBA Sponge Candy stout. Every other dark offering has just been a major disappointment. The loss of my money won't matter, but I'm done trying their beers, other than that I mentioned. read more

I only rate this 4 stars because the area isn't really ideal for parking. We ended up parking near the rock climbing center. My friends and I came here for a "book club" and sat outside in the patio area. It was a little crowded, we had to wait for a couple to get up, but eventually grabbed a picnic table. They have fireplaces set up and some outdoor games such as cornhole. Their food is great, and you can order at your own convenience at a kiosk. You then get a text message to pickup your food. I recommend getting the flight to try out some beers, and the soft pretzel was good. My friend order the chicken sandwich and enjoyed it. read more

Beers where not too bad, but when the server ignores you for 40 minutes....not good. Really was looking forward to trying the tacos. Oh well I guess we head to another craft brewery. 6.20.20 UPDATE: the stouts we took home were out of this world. Fix that service!!! read more
