"This local brewery is closed — for now. The brewers were locked out by their landlord for nonpayment of rent on January 26, and issued a statement on social media that it was working to “settle our financial commitment with our landlords and return home to our beloved Sawyer Yards taproom.” It was among Eater Houston’s essential breweries." - Courtney E. Smith
"For a view of downtown without actually having to go downtown, there’s Buffalo Bayou Brewing Company in the First Ward. The brewery and rooftop has a huge bar food menu with everything from smoked birria nachos and tikka masala fried to soft pretzels and “chopped and screwed” pepperoni pizzas, and of course a mind-numbingly long list of beers. You can have a meal in the second story restaurant, but we recommend heading straight to the rooftop on the third floor and grabbing a seat while you take in the gorgeous views." - Gianni Greene, Chelsea Thomas

"Buff Brew has some of the best downtown views, with a rooftop deck, a sprawling dining area, local brews, and a menu boasting everything from wings and burgers to creative pizzas. The restaurant also offers budget-friendly party packages available for larger groups looking to plan ahead." - Katie Holtman, Brittany Britto Garley
"With tasty varieties like the 1836 copper ale and the Crush City IPA, Buffalo Bayou Brewing has long been a favorite for craft beer. But its recent move to a mammoth three-story space in Sawyer Yards has upped its appeal with breathtaking Downtown views and a Houston-inspired menu to match. Indulge in the city’s version of fall with a seasonal beer like the Gingerbread stout and pair with a hearty smokehaus burger, made with 44 Farms Angus beef that’s topped with white cheddar, crispy fried onions, and Figaro barbecue sauce." - Sean Hekmat, Brittany Britto Garley, Megha McSwain
