Great beer selection with multiple styles available. Also have liquor and wine and some food options. I didn't do any of the IPAs while I was here this time but the stouts and lagers I had were all good.

Three of us stopped here after lunch at the Ebenezer Ale House. I was in the mood for something dessert-y/after dinner drink-ish, so I went with the Cafe Mocha Latte Nitro. I'm no beer expert, but I do love coffee and chocolate, so I did enjoy this. I like the creaminess of a nitro, and it also seems to bring out more sweetness. Their website claims "something for every taste", and that's true: beer (draft, bottles, cans), wine, cocktails, seltzers, ciders, mead. If you can't find a beverage that suits your fancy, that's on you. The atmosphere inside and out is fun and funky. The best part of our visit was sitting outside on a beautiful fall day, just relaxing and sipping a cold one.

We love going to small craft breweries where the minute you step in the door, you feel like you are with family. The staff and Owners of Rusty Nickel are doing it all right. The quaint bar with the rustic atmosphere is amazing. I have been to hundreds of breweries and have tried thousands of different craft brews, I have never had a beer at Rusty Nickel that disappointed. I love the variety and flavors they have to offer. Parking lot may look swamped because of the business out front, don't be alarmed, pull in and drive to the back where the brewery is and go in.. you will not be disappointed. Thanks for the hospitality and we will continue to support your local business.

Stopped here after visiting Niagara Falls. They have a nice selection of brews, and heated/covered outdoor space. No food available, but a restaurant next door

I was so happy to stop by today and see Ted behind the bar. A Buffalo legend! So, obviously the service was the best in wny! There is a great selection of varieties of beers on tap, and with our group of 10, we tried a lot of them. I had the seltzer and the orange cream ale. Both are fantastic! Love the beer garden out back. There is a coy pond, gorgeous flowers, tons of patio furniture, and I'm told it is dog friendly too. Cheers!

This was our first visit to Rusty Nickel Brewing Company and definitely won't be our last. The vibe is very relaxed and welcoming. The beer menu is quite diverse with multiple offerings in each category. The beer was very good and well brewed. There were three bartenders working and we received excellent service. We were able to taste a small sample of the beer before ordering a full pint. I loved The Half Slice Orange Vanilla, which tasted like a creamsicle. My husband's favorite was the I Remember, Buffalo. It was a great experience and a fun afternoon.

I'm in love with this place! I wish I could bring it back to California. It was rustic and green and had lovely areas to sit. The beer was good and the all around vibes were lovely. I wish I had more time to go when they actually have live shows as it is obvious this place is a really good time. If I come back to this area I will come back here again!

Place is tiny! But the patio is nice. I think the patio is actually bigger than the inside! Great location to sit outside in the summer. Drink reviews can be found on Untappd. We came here for the Sausage fest hosted by Wardynskis. I'd like to come back again to try their actual food menu. I'm really glad we did not pay extra for a table reservation, because all the tables were full anyways. We ended up outside on the patio. One portion was covered with a tent, but standing tables only. The other portion was not covered, but it was blocked off my tarp to minimize the cold/wind. Both outdoor sections were heated, but the uncovered section that had the chairs was much colder. I do love that they walked around with free samples of sausage, and I really enjoyed being able to try different types of meat blends. Reuben sausage 10/10 This was absolutely amazing, I would buy this and eat this every week at my house. It tasted exactly like corned beef. Cooked great and juicy. Just a really great sausage. Jalapeño cheddar chicken sausage 8/10 Totally not used to chicken sausage, but the flavor was decent, not super spicy but it was there. And it was cooked super well, very juicy. Lamb sausage 10/10 Great flavor, and great cook. Cajun venison sausage 10/10 Kyle. 5/10 Kim. Extremely weird texture for me, I could not get past 1 small bite.. and idk if Cajun mixed with it all that well. On the other hand, Kyle loved it. Yankee BBQ brisket platter 9/10 Brisket was good. Juicy and cooked great. Would have loved a roll or something with it or maybe as a sandwich. I ended up making a sandwich at home with my leftovers (brisket, Mac and cheese and coleslaw, it was amazing all 3 in the same bite) Italian sausage sandwich 10/10 Kyle. 7/10 Kim. Had a slightly weird flavor than I was used to. Kyle loved it. It was a pretty big link too. Mac and cheese 7/10 It was pretty cold by the time it took to get it and then walk it to our outside table, so hard to judge the flavor since it wasn't at its prime temperature, but I feel like it was good. Lot of pepper in it though, you couldn't taste it a ton but more than I would have liked. Coleslaw 9/10 I don't like coleslaw too much, but this one was good. There was lots of pepper in this as well. Whoever made the sides was very heavy on the pepper.
