Eli Fish Brewing Co.

I’ve never gone out of my way to write a review but I feel compelled to do so because Eli Fish’s Heavy Maple imperial amber ale blew me away. Absolutely amazingly delicious. Worth every penny!! Brewed using no water but 100% maple sap?!?! Who does that?! Eli Fish does. And the bar tender Keli was also impressively knowledgeable and friendly!

Traveling through Batavia stopped here for lunch. Hostess was friendly and seated us quickly. Our waitress was very sweet, but was slow on delivering any requests, such as refills, etc. The atmosphere was so uniquely decorated; industrial- meets - old time diner- meets- steampunk. Truly fantastic and great space. I enjoyed the brisket rice bowl. My friend had the chicken wrap, which met basic expectations, but the beer cheese Mac and cheese was truly disappointing. It was a very thin, salty sauce.

I recently made a reservation for a large party of 18 for Friday 11/29/25. I had asked for a somewhat separate area as we had people from 3 different counties and one toddler and knew we would want to visit. They kindly gave us a large table towards the back of the restaurant which was wonderful. Our server Brittany was amazing with our overwhelming group. She easily agreed to our request for 4 separate checks to break up the bill, she made it easy by giving each group a number. She did an amazing job along with all of the other staff that was helping deliver drinks and food. I wanted to give a special "shout out" to Brittany for doing such an amazing job! Food and service was great! We've found Eli Fish a great meet up for our families from Monroe, Niagara and Erie counties!! Thank you again, definitely a five star in all categories.

Cool spot with a nice selection of of ciders to pick from. Portions are really good for the price and definitely full of flavor. Definitely will be back to try more. I went with the pork belly rice bowl. And she went with the grilled chicken rice bowl.

Great brewery with some phenomenal beers in my opinion, been here a few times. Food was very good- had brisket rice bowl, French onion, mozzarella sticks ( these were huge) and fish nugs ( it was a special, might have the name wrong). Nice large venue. Customer service was spot on- super friendly.

Pit stopped here on our road trip. We found parking right out front Tuesday evening. We were sat right away and immediately attended to. They offer a beer Flight for $12. We ordered the Amoreus, Senor Pescado, Maple Sunshine & Eli's Horchata Cream Ale. The Amoreus was pretty good, a light and refreshing Lager. The Maple Sunshine was really interesting, you can definitely smell and taste the Maple and it leaves a sweet taste in your mouth. I really liked the Horchata Cream Ale, it tastes kind of like Cream soda. The Senor Pescado was also crisp and refreshing. To eat, we ordered the Grit Cakes and the Pork Belly Rice Bowl. We did want to order the crab rangoon dip but they didn't have any. Food came pretty quickly. The Grit Cakes were light and fluffy and very good and crispy. They're quite big though and it comes with 4 large pieces. I did like the pork belly rice bowl as well but didn't fully enjoy the Chipotle ranch dip that we got on the side mixed. Overall, a cool place to stop into and the beers are good. Friendly service and quiet. They do have a lot of seating indoors and a patio thats open as well.

Eli Fish is one of the most underrated spots in Western New York. Amazing beer with a huge selection--24 taps! Good cocktail program too. Shuffleboard, pool, live music in the square on the weekends in the summer, live music inside in the winter. Chicken fingers are homemade and incredible. I especially love their sour beers. Great vibes worth a visit.

Have been coming here for years. They always have a wide range beer selection and their cocktails are great. We like to visit on Tuesdays where you can get a pitcher of beer and pizza for $25. Their trivia nights are fun too. Sometimes they will have themed trivia nights. We always get their chicken tender platter on the appetizer menu. It comes from Matty‘s kitchen, and it’s really good! You can’t go wrong with their wings either.
