This is my kind of place. Whether you're looking for a sunny outdoor patio, a cozy indoor reading book, a nice bar/brewery, or a mix of all the above - you will find it here.Good music indoors and out on the patio. Eccentric decor with a variety of places to sprawl out. Perfect for a sunny, breezy Saturday afternoon. Staff were all friendly and efficient. Food is amazing. My wife and I got the Detroit style "I need a margarita" pizza and some Korean bbq wings. The pizza was immaculate and the wings were a fun change up from what were used to. Drinks were strong and made with care.If we weren't moving in a month, we'd be spending a lot more time here. Hoping to get a chance to lounge in the cafe sometime before we move downstate!

Large brewery in a classic building in downtown Saratoga. Varied selection of good brews. No flights but does do 8 ounce pours. Has a outside area and a impressive and relaxing lounge area with a fireplace. Does a variety of food that is basically high end pub grub. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in town.

Really nice place. I sat in the Beer Hall - all high tables and they have a few board games to play. They have a nice cafe and outdoor seating for your pup! Service was okay - we had to walk up to the service window and grab our pizza because the bar filled in and there was no one to serve our food. With that said all the food was very good!!

Kind of a hybrid of a beer garden and pub.They have a bunch of craft beer on tap, open floor space with mini tables and lounge area.Lounge area is dog friendly. I didn't try the food but they have pizzas.

One of the only places in Saratoga Springs that knows how to make a good salad. Truly. Also, they have great Detroit Style pizza. It is a great atmosphere to sit and get some work done. The coffee and breakfast items on the Cafe said aren't as high quality as the Taproom food and drink. But, I'd still recommend both.

Excellent!! My husband and I stopped in at lunchtime and were not disappointed. Servers were all attentive and very friendly. I had the Blueberry beer and my husband had the NEIPA "in suspension". They were so good we each had two.Now for the food we had the Abe Forman pizza special and it was absolutely delicious! Crust was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Plenty of toppings and cheese. This place will definitely be added into our favorites while in Saratoga!!

Let’s cut to the chase, the Detroit style pizza here is freaking EPIC. The deep wells of mozzarella cheese mixed when their balanced sauce and topped with quality ingredients is simply stellar. Add in a nice dough, and that oh so crunchy, crispity, cheesy crust and you have an amazing time.We enjoyed both the My Italian Grandpa, which had lovely pops of heat from the Calabrian chilis and the bright gremolata, and the creamy and unctuous Fun Guy. The creaminess of the Fun Guy went perfectly with the onion and meaty mushrooms. Add a side of the homemade ranch to really bring them both to the next.Atmosphere also gets top marks, being warm, lively, and furnished in wood tones. Be aware though that most seats don’t have backs.Service is informal, with needing to walk to the bar, though they do a prompt job of bringing food.The only downside is the beer, which was good, but not amazing enough to justify coming back for on its own. Despite it being winter, there aren’t a lot of dark offerings, with only a black lager on the menu. This isn’t to say they don’t have nice beer, but it’s more 3-4 stars compared to the 5 star pizza.Overall, we enjoyed it, and would go back for a pizza, even if it means having the beer. Since a 4.5 isn’t possible, I’m rounding up here, but it’s a good time.

Love this spot! The coffee is our favorite in town and it's always a delicious bite, whether we go for our favorite, My Italian Grandpa or trying something new. Would recommend for a quick, casual meal and beer or coffee.

This brewery is awesome. The size of the place is great for customers. There’s an upstairs, downstairs and outdoor seating. The beer prices are good and the beer itself is delicious. I highly recommend this place. I’ll be sure to have some food next time.

Couldn’t love this place more! We stumbled upon this brewery - cafe hybrid in the midst of the pandemic, months after their open. It’s beautifully designed inside and out, offers amazing food, delicious beer, strong coffee, and quintessentially cool 60s/70s music and vibes. We come here every time we’re in the Saratoga area and bring friends and family each time they’re in town.

Staff was amazing! Felt welcomed as soon as we walked in and they made great suggestions. Can’t go wrong with thr Detroit style pizza!! The rest of the food looked great. Good variety of beers - not just hops in a glass!

What an awesome find by some out-of-towners!The beers are AMAZING. They have some lighter than Michelob Ultra and some IPAs for the heavy hearted. The Raspberry beer was a hit with our table as well... see the photos.But the Detroit Style Pizzas were the BOMB! I'm Italian and don't like square pizzas..... until now. This is the lightest, softest most amazing thick crust I've ever had (and I've been to Detroit and NYC).You've got to give this a try!

I love the vibe at this brewery/cafe. Very chill, fun and relaxing space with great drinks and food. The chile margarita did not disappoint. A great place for a drink or meal with friends.

Amazing addition to Saratoga Springs. This brewery wouldn’t be out of place if transported to NYC by any means. Very modern, trendy, and the food was amazing.Detroit style pizza (I believe I had the Italian grandpa or something like that) was exactly in line with what you’d expect at some of the best Detroit Pizza joints. Chicken shawarma was flavorful but the real winner was the garlic sauce that came with it (as stellar as some of my Lebanese family and friends would make).Only thing I’d suggest is some alterations to the beer menu. I appreciate that a lot of it was locally/in-house brewed, but variety would be nice. There were plenty of IPA options to choose from, but not a single wheat beer or sour on draft so wasn’t particularly friendly for all at the table. Craft cocktails were pretty good, but would have liked to have suitable beer options for all.

Impressed by the size of this place - upstairs cafe, downstairs bar, lounge and outdoor patio. Really enjoyed their raspberry beer, but was disappointed by their ricotta small plate - hoped for a dip and got a flatbread with a few dollops of ricotta.

I'm so happy I was able to finally visit! With everything going on with Covid I thought the staff and restaurant did a great job of keeping everything safe. Tables outside and inside are nicely spaced, and after putting in my order I recieved a text saying my order was ready.First, the beer was amazing. Not a huge selection but I like that about breweries. You know each chouce is going to be good. The food menu is also small but a great list of things to try.I tried the persian cucumber salad which was delicious and refreshing. Nice salty taste with the sesame oil and a great combination of flavors. Also ordered the crispy wings done in the Korean bbq style. The wings were so delicious and crispyAnd ordered 2 pizzas. I've never had Detroit style pizza before but I'm a huge fan now. Great crispy crust. Tried the margarita pizza and the Italian grandpa puzza. Both delicious. And they looked like they might be small pizzas but they were so filling.I can't wait to go back and try the cafe!

Casual atmosphere dining experience- sit down non waitered service - order at counter and provided a number and seating location- server will look for your number and bring your order- ordered the Philly cheesesteak with fries, the Korean BBQ wings and Blackberry spinach salad. The cheesesteak was ordinary, toasted with some fries, the Korean BBQ wings were large not overly spicy with blue cheese on the side. The BlackBerry salad included spinach with tomatoes with blackberries in a balsamic dressing. Average cost $20 per person with 1 drink. Did not have any beer, but any extensive list is available

What a great little place. The staff was great, good lighting, nice ambiance, and the food was delicious. They make their own Bagels and you get that hometown comfort when you walk in.Try it out, you won't be be disappointed.

Our favorite pizza in Saratoga. This is our go-to spot in the fall/winter when we’re craving pizza. I’m not a huge beer girl but I love having some beers when I’m here! We love their wings and their numerous pizzas. But as of lately, the Wagon Wheel (omg!).. amazing!! Hot, sweet, spicy, creamy.. incredible. All of our experiences here have been great.

Husband went for the beer, I went for the food. Both of us are very happy to have found a new favorite place. Really nice decor and atmosphere. Looking forward to trying out the Cafe 1 day. Will definitely be returning.

The excellent drinks in this microbrew aren’t limited to the beer- they have Prosecco on draft, too and a great selections of wines and cocktails.Menu is inventive and varied with many options and you won’t yawn through the offerings.In this pub-chic venue there’s something for everyone on the menu and the ownership has clearly taken care to create a welcoming interior with character, and offer something charming and quirky. My favorite is the black den, with inspirational quotes, record covers and furniture that’s leather, and velvet clad.An event venue is to open soon. This is definitely a place to watch and see grow as it’s recently just opened.Update: Extremely loud music when dining and the pot of tea service changed to a great pot to a smaller one... it’s hard to get a good cup of tea in most places and this is now no exception.Also menu doesn’t have salads... very odd and difficult to find healthy lean meals on the menu... like salads 🙏

Wife got steak tacos and I got steak and cheese sandwich. Menu said it was sirloin but what it didn't say was that the sirloin had been cooked some time way prior to being served. Our dog could not have chewed or even digested this meat. Just terrible, we both took one bite each and had to stop right there. We ate my fries which were very good but left the tacos and sandwich uneaten. $50 for an inedible meal. Had this been a traditional restaurant with a server we would have returned the food for a refund. We were outside on the patio and did not want to walk all the way back upstairs with a tray of food so we left it. Nice patio though!

Nice brewery with attentive service and good food.It’s a nice open indoor space with a small outdoor seating area.They had really good beers and the menu was pretty good, too.My wife and I shared the nachos and they were very good. They came quickly after ordering and it was a good sized order - big enough to share.Overall, it’s a nice brewery worth visiting.

Such an excellent brewery and space! Pizza and the other food options are delicious. Well behaved dogs allowed downstairs in the lobby and outside on the patio. The couches by the fireplace in the downstairs lobby are a great addition, super comfortable and intimate. Friendly service and a great selection of very tasty beers.

Really bright, fun, exciting place. We went on a Saturday night, so it was extraordinary loud, especially with the live band, but the pizzas we got were excellent, and the service was even better.I got the My Italian Grandpa on the GLUTEN FREE crust, and it sincerely just tasted like a thin crust pizza. Didn’t taste like cardboard, didn’t fall apart, it was beautiful.

Cool vibe. Food both in Cafe and Brewery are beyond excellent. Great beer and beverage. Despite just being opened, service is excellent and super friendly.
