Reviews
5 stars. Great food, and the Black Lager was awesome. The bartender really made the visit—engaging, friendly, and clearly loves his job. The brewery itself has a great atmosphere in the old church building. We had an excellent lunch and would definitely come back
Very cool building. Wonderful atmosphere. The beer was decent. My husband is a West Coast IPA lover. So they were a little lacking in that area. We definitely stopped there for the friendly crew.
The church ambiance was very cool. They had church pews and stain glass windows. Someone said he used to ask his dad if he wanted to go to church, and he meant for drinks at Silversmith Brewing. I thought that was cute. The whipped feta was outstanding. The beer was just okay, but they only had 3 flight pours rather than your normal 4 to a flight. I would go just for the experience because it was a great time!
Best brewery in Niagara on the lake. Craft beers. Delicious hand made food. Nothing from the freezer. Cool vibes and servers are great. Been visiting from New York State for years. And today didn’t disappoint. You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy We had grilled cheese with butternut squash guada and arugula. And crispy chicken bites Korean style.
Always a lovely time. I’ve been 3 times and enjoy the experience every time. The drink selection is vast and from what I’ve had, very tasty. The food is great. It’s a small menu of mostly handhelds but they’re all done so well. The whipped feta is a great start, the bread is soft and warm and the portion great to share. The fish sandwich comes with a curry aioli that’s incredible. It’s a great combination of flavours. The chicken sandwich is equally delicious. Good flavours across the board. I’ll be back again
