Chandler Street Breweries is open at 166 Chandler Street in Buffalo’s Black Rock neighborhood.
The newly renovated space is a shared taproom for Community Beer Works, Thin Man Brewery, and Smoldered Society Beer Company that features 24 draft lines, wood-fired pizza, a full bar and table service, and a dedicated retail program.
“We wanted to create a destination rooted in Buffalo,” said Yvon Paul Pasquarello, director of sales and
marketing. “By bringing three brands together under one roof, we’re able to offer more variety, more
creativity, and a stronger overall experience, whether you’re stopping in for a pint, a meal, or spending time
in a space built for this city.”
Gone are the colorful murals adorning the walls (I will forever miss Space Ghost, Zorak and Brak), replaced by an upscale, yet cozy and welcoming, feel. With a massive bar, lots of exposed brick, tons of seating and huge garage doors, the reimagined Chandler Street Breweries feels like an industrial lounge, if that’s even a thing. Or as my friend Ryan Demler puts it, it’s ‘Buffalo fancy.’
All the beer served will be brewed in the adjacent Chandler St. facility, where the breweries are consolidating their operations.
“This a bold step forward,” said Pasquerello. “We’re consolidating into a much larger facility that will allow us to operate more efficiently and deliver a truly unique experience for beer lovers in Buffalo and beyond.”
They are open Wednesday through Saturday, 12-10 pm, and Sunday, 12-9 pm.
