Husband and I stopped here for a quick, light dinner and a drink. I ordered the poutine and he got the wings and a beer. I loved the poutine! The potatoes were thin but with some heft to them to carry the gravy. The curds were very cold so it took a while to get to a melty point, but it was tasty. The gravy was very good and not too heavy. My husband also really liked the wings, he devoured those pretty quick. Service was friendly and quick, and it was a chill place to be on the night before new years. I'd definitely go again if we lived in the area. read more

Love the beer and how close it is, but the food needs some help. It wasn't great when it was Big Storm and it's even less great now. So we will go for a beer or two, but then we have to leave to actually eat. If they could improve the food, I think this would be a top notch location read more

Good brewery with good food and great community atmosphere with games and events. Good draft beer lineup and food emphasizing comfort foods options with focus on creative Cuban sandwich varieties. read more

Absolutely top notch experiences last week with Thirsty Buffalo Brew Factory and Havana Dreamers' menu offerings and event services! The metal and concrete industrial vibe combined with wooden features and white walls makes the factory aesthetic a cool but also inviting place to spend some time with friends for wing night or with family and friends eating, drinking, and celebrating for a special event! Mike, Erin, Rudy, and Arlisa welcomed me and my ideas with open arms for two events in their dock room, which comfortably holds 30-40 people. They were easy to communicate with, stayed true to their word, and made sure that our hearts and bellies were satisfied! Check out the details below or just go to check out their space! Note that both businesses have 2 locations- this one is on Success Dr off of SR 54 in Trinity/Odessa- it's at the front of and industrial park which makes it very chill but also pretty unique! My only regret- in all the hustle and bustle- I didn't get enough photos of the beautiful people, the space, or the amazing food at either event! (Always designate a photographer when you are in charge of events ) First, they were ready for 25 teachers of every age to enjoy some beverages and wings on Wednesday wing night for our DKG end-of-year gathering and meeting. Our bartender, Dani, who is also a teacher, was as perfect as possible with service and smiles! The wings made my Buffalo Girl heart proud! Now, if you've ever celebrated with a group of teachers, you know it can get pretty loud with laughter and crazy stories- the dock room as a perfect place for us because it offered some privacy while still being in the mix of the bar! Next, we had my daughter's graduation celebration in the dock room and it was a blast! Rudy and Arlisa, with Havana Dreamers, provide the menu regularly at the Factory but they also cater events- every tray was amazing- from the perfect ranch on the veggie tray to the Cubans that you HAVE to try (we had a brunch Cuban, the Tampa Cuban, and the well-loved Godfather!), pastry perfection, pretzel bits and beer cheese, and biscuits and perfect gravy! Our friends and family got to visit, celebrate, play all the games they have to offer to any customer, and enjoy the best food and drinks around! The Rambler is the best amber around and the Get Ya Day Started was great for a brunch-time celebration! It was a high school graduation, with kids, so they also had a ton of sodas and teas- from Jaritos and birch beer bottles to large cans of Coca Cola products. We also had a coffee station provided with the food- perfect Cuban coffee! Our bartenders were part of the party, too, because they were so personable and attentive- thanks to Chris who delivered picture-perfect hospitality from the moment we walked until we left with smiles, and to Shayna for her support and humor! Long story that could be longer: Check out this spot- they have fun planned most days of the month (that you can see on the website). They have great listing of beers on tap (big fan of the Rambler). The food is a Cuban and Buffalo- staples mix- poutine, wings, and Nickel City Cubans in addition to a mix of bar offerings and Cuban deliciousness! You can even check out how the Brew Factory works- open air brewing in the back of the house! Hope to see you there! read more

Big Storm Brewing went out of business. The Thirsty Buffalo took over the same spot. It's a nice local brewery. Staff is friendly. They have a fun selection of beer to try. When we went they had a food truck serving bbq that was pretty good. The warehouse has plenty of space to hang out. read more

Food is good especially the poutine. The service here is terrible, especially the red head (no name tags to catch their name) who is very condescending and seemed annoyed we were there until you're walking out the door. Beer glasses empty while both workers sat and chatted, the place wasn't packed, and waited forever for our check. Any question we asked she seemed annoyed we even asked, like what kind beer was available that we couldn't see the menu cause the print is small from the table we were sitting at. No ice for soft drinks for non drinkers. Don't try to use a pub pass at this location, this location uses ale trial unlike the location down the road. The place smells of grease and leaves you smelling like it. Beer is good and the food made for 3 this is a much different vibe then previous review. read more

I ordered a Range Roamer Orange Wheat and absolutely loved it. The bartender, Anthony, was very kind and knowledgeable about the different brews. I wasn't sure which one to pick and he recommended the Range Roamer. Overall great experience and plan on returning. read more

Great time, loved that they had arcade games and pinball along with board games. Got the scamp, it was tasty and fun! Anthony was great, very informative and gave us a tour :) read more

The Beer Factory has quickly become my husband and I's favorite place to stop for a beer or two whenever we just want to get out of the house for a bit. Their Beertenders are all amazing and always super quick to help refill your beverage. They are engaging and fun to chat with. We are so thankful they came in and spruced up the building. Plus we may sound biased but every beer they have on tap is good, which is hard to find at a brewery. Definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Well, let's talk about the Cheers of Odessa, where everybody knows your name. Thirsty Buffalo Brew Factory has quickly become our favorite haunt! The staff are amazing and friendly, truly bring a great atmosphere for a few drinks and good conversation. Moreover, the beers are amazing! So many great drinks and opportunities to hear from the master brewer. To boot, they've partnered with Havana Dreamers and have a great menu! Brunch is available once a month now and was delicious! Highly recommend everyone comes here, meet the staff and try their beverages. read more

excellent beer selection fr fr but bring back the arcade games tbh we need that....even just some OGs like Galaga. PLEASE. i will return if you do p.s. actual authentic cuban sandwich (source: 20+ year tampa resident) read more

I have been coming here for a few months and can say it's not your typical friendly local pub. They have great food and beers, but their service can be kinda ..., as in you could be standing at the bar, looking directly at the bar tender, but they'll walk back and forth a few times until they acknowledge you. Today, same thing, seeing this happen for several people waiting, and when I finally get to order a beer, they tack on $10 for a raffle. I had no idea that was happening, and they didn't mention the added cost; they just handed me a ticket. I didn't realize they'd added that until later. I wasn't there for the Bills game but was there for a separate meet-up. I sat down and asked another worker what the raffle was for, and he said it happened earlier. I for sure like this place still, but I will definitely not just trust the bill from here on out. read more

Food was awesome, regular menu as well as octoberfest items this past weekend. Cool environment and some really tasty beers and THC drinks too (all made onsite). read more

Excellent beer selection and modest but excellent menu. We were there for lunch on a Sunday and the bartender was very attentive even though we sat at a table. read more
