My husband and I went there last night for the first time because every Wednesdays feature a Beatles cover band, highly rated craft beer that is brewed on sight, plus $8 burgers.

Having never been here before, we were amazed to discover how enormous it is. There is the main dining room and the tap room, which is less first come, first serve. This is where you want to go if you only want drinks, to be "up front" with the music on Wednesdays and Fridays. Definitely more of a "bar" atmosphere than the main dining room.

We roamed around a bit and finally decided on the main dining room where we could still here the music, but be in less "bar" atmosphere.

In addition to there excellent list of on sight brewed vbeers, they also feature signature cocktails and wine for someone like me, who isn't a beer fan.

My husband ordered their "Destination" IPA and found it to be very hoppy, a beer to be sipped. I had a glass of "Bella Creme" chardonnay, their only oaked selection. Both were excellent.

The menu is amazing, featuring a lot of creative choices. Since it was the $8 burger night, we had to try them. I had their "Flatiron" burger, but substituted bleu cheese for American. My husband had the " Williamsburger," which featured bleu cheese and pears, plus a special sauce! Each were accompanied by house made fries and pickles. No complaints from either one of us!

I'm looking forward to going back and exploring other menu options. The only thing that prevented me from giving a 5* rating was the noise level, which I guess should be expected from a building of this height and capacity! Definitely a welcome to the burgeoning brewery scene in WNY!
