Bartender acted like his knows everything about beer. Good bartenders listen to their customers and make suggestions based on what type of beer the customer likes espically when you don t have it available. I ve been drinking craft beer for 30 years probably longer than the bartender has been alive so lose the attitude,and realize we go to place like growlers because we love beer

Excellent place to eat and grab some drinks with friend after you hop off on the train. You can join their vip club and get special discounts and rewards for each time you visit. Sign up at kiosk or text growler to 33791. Awesome :).

If I lived in the area, this would be my bar. I've met up with friends here twice, a year apart, and coming in from across the country. Everyone is super friendly and the food, service, and beers are all top notch.

I went for the first time for Tuesday trivia at 7:30. It was the sole reason I tried it out. Got there with friends at 7 pm - ordered food and drink. About 7:30 or later, the waiter came around and said the trivia person canceled. No discount/coupon was offered. When we inquired about it - we were told that the manager didn't want to give it. Bars/restauarants do trivia on Mondays and Tuesdays because those are not busy days -- so it stands to reason, that many of us came solely for trivia. It would have been a nice/smart gesture to offer something.

Good beer selection that tends to deviate from the local bars in the area. Some of the more aspirational beers you could want appear from time to time. Good burgers and the devils on horseback are wonderful. Also, a fan of the growler fries. Tends to be a bit loud even with no sports of note on any of the screens/monitors

I don't know quite what to say- we keep coming back but every time we do, we say it's our last. Pros, first: The beers are great with a rotating selection that keeps things fresh and seasonal. The food is usually good- they stick to a heavy-duty pub food and do fairly well with it. Nothing fancy and nothing remotely healthy. Parking is amply available in the attached lot.

Where this place falls down is service. We(my husband and I, or us with our two children) have never made it out in less than an hour, no matter how little we order or what time we come. We've been there as the only table in the place- 1 hour for two drinks and two burgers. As one of fifteen tables- 1:30. The wait staff seems to spend at least as much time on cigarette breaks as they do on serving tables. Their attentiveness to pub-basics like making sure empty glasses are quickly exchanged for full ones (if only from a profit motive) is astonishingly lacking. We do seem to have the same waitress every time, so perhaps there are real standouts but I doubt it. I've seen diners give up on their waitress and walk up to the bar to get their own refill. Something is seriously wrong if that's happening.

Again, I guess it says something for the quality that it's still the best burger and beer in town but they really test my patience every time I come.

Pricy. No buy backs. All add-ons for meals cost almost a 50% upcharge in a full meal like cheese, bacon, nacho toppings (awful nachos!). Slow, blah service and kinda faux trendy vibe but great music and some pretty interesting and great beers!

Great rotation of craft beer! Friendly service! A must go for a craft beer enthusiast!

Edit: (Editing from 5/5 to 3/5 and will revise upon further visits. Just came here on 6/2) They brought me the wrong beer from the bar (IT WAS STILL GOOD but disappointing). The WORST was that Saturday nights are supposed to be chill but the bar was playing music really loud and not music that was in the demographic of the patrons. I still love this place and I understand having a bad night every now and then, but I will not be coming back on Saturday s for awhile.

Had a ton of fun here! Went for Happy Hour and stayed for their Tuesday trivia night. Echoing what everyone else is saying about the great beer selection. Got food to share: standard buffalo wings, yummy sweet potato fries, but the NY style pretzels we ordered were really bad. Incredibly salty, with a chemical-tasting dijon dip, and confusingly lumpy cold beer cheese. We sent them back and they took it off our bill. I ll be back to Growlers for the good vibes and beer but won t be ordering the pretzels!

Best place for craft beer in Westchester, love coming here after work or on a weekend. Never too packed that it's uncomfortable but always a good vibe. Wait staff is very helpful with suggestions on the frequently rotating tap menu.

If you're a beer enthusiast, this is the place you want to come to. The selection is plentiful, staff is well versed on the drinks, they're friendly, and the food is delicious. My boyfriend won't eat wings anywhere else. Great place for watching games, enjoying a cold brew, and getting some tasty food. Will always recommend the growler fries and wings.

Not the fanciest place in the world. It has a brewery feel but they serve decent pub fare. I had the cheese steak and the garlic, parmesean, bacon fries. Great selection of beer and our waiter was friendly. The food prices are a little high for what you get. I just bought a place a half mile away, so I will definitely be back.

Really good food and good beer selection. Wings and artichoke dip were our selection this trip. We've had the Bleu cheese, bacon wrapped prunes before, out of this world! This trip was for football, good place to watch a game. I believe they smoke their own meats, always a plus...

I am from the UK and when I heard the word growler I was expecting something a bit furrier. Fortunately the beers on tap and the staff were excellent 10/10 would definitely drink at the growler again.

It was just ok

I wouldn't go back. It took them forever to bring our two appetizers and hamburger. Waiting wasn't worse it.

Surprisingly good selection of rotating draft beers that goes beyond just the high profile NYC and upstate breweries. I was pleased to see both lesser-known local breweries as well as personal favorites from all over the US, such as The Bruery. The burger was tasty and the staff both efficient and friendly.
