Small, tucked-away brewery with a semi-creepy, but in a cool way, historic vibe. Located in a gritty mining town that seems to be all about Yuengling (since it is the home of Yuengling), it's great to have Black Rock as a real craft alternative. The beers were respectable and the menu, though small, had some creative options. The beer 'pouring' method is unique. They fill the glass from the bottom by displacing a magnetic token located at the bottom of each glass. Innovative for sure, but occasionally a bit leaky. Will definitely seek this place out if I'm ever in the area again.

With a great selection of beer & wine options and now cocktails made in house, there is something for everyone! Great brew pub food menu with new themed food & beverages every weekend. Many fun events throughout the week including live entertainment on Friday & Saturday night. Great addition to town

This place is a gem. Rolled into town around 9PM thinking everything would be closed, but these guys were open serving food and an outdoor movie as well. The ladies working were pleasant, the food was good, and their Octoberfest beer really sealed the deal. Definitely worth checking out.
