Riverside Brewing Company

Incredible selection of craft brews. Great atmosphere. Helpful and hardworking staff. Really good food. I miss the old Riverside Inn, but rebuilding it after the fire would have been too much. This was a great use of the land and a fantastic addition to the region! The brew shuttle between the other local breweries was the exclamation point on a winning formula!

Quite possibly best dining experience I've had in the Erie/Crawford area! Great food, beer and atmosphere! Very busy on a Friday night but still fast and accurate service! 5/5 will definitely go back!

I was here the first Saturday that they were open, completely expecting mayhem. So an hour and a half wait didn't really bother me. The waiter was friendly, but was clearly overwhelmed orders were missing items, and 10 to 15 minute waits between drinks. My other issue was the cost of the pizzas, they taste great! In fact maybe some of the best thin crust pizzas around, but $15.00 for essentially a personal pizza seems quite steep. The drinks here are very good, I had 4 different beers and enjoyed each greatly. I was a little disappointed that the PA red eye wasn't actually red though still great though! And the mesquite beer, (the name escapes me at the amount) was sublime, maybe top 10 beers I've ever had! I'll be back for my birthday and hopefully things are smoother, and I'll re review.

The Riverside Brewing Company just opened a couple days ago. I really only had one issue which I will get to shortly. It's one small town away so we definitely had to go. It was very busy with a long wait. Certainly to be expected during their grand opening week. I've been to many breweries and have a legendary status on Untapped. The food was good as was the beer selection currently available. They had 11 beers currently on tap and I tried all of the while I was there in the form of two flights and a glass. My problem was the cost of a flight. Typically the average cost of a flight of four or five tasters is about $8. I find this price point the same whether in a small town or big city (Boston. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, etc.). I didn't ask what the cost of a flight was when ordering. I was surprised to discover that my two, five beer, flights cost $30. Fifteen dollars each. I'll go there again but certainly will not order a flight. Since I've tasted all of the beers currently on tap I'll try new beers at the reasonable $6 for a glass.

It is Fantastic! They put a lot of thought in decorating the inside and out to bring pieces of the old Riverside Inn into the Riverside Brewery. It does the heart good to see this place. They are going to be very successful!
