Great spot for all beer fans. They have a great 12 tap draft selection as well as a huge selection of can beer from really great breweries. They have a small food menu perfect if you're looking for a snack.Melissa was absolutely amazing bartender who gave great recommendations for things to do.If you're looking for a beer and a bite then I'd definitely stop here!

Amazing vegan food & such great drink selections. The pricing is also very reasonable. The vibe and atmosphere is immaculate, and the workers were so friendly and attentive. Definitely will be coming back!! So happy to see more buffalo restaurants serving vegan food!

Elmwood knows what attracts people, and to welcome The Beer Keep to the neighborhood was genius. Yes they sell beer here, they actually sell very unique beers. But they offer wines, hard ciders and small plate (food) items. You have a choice of sitting at the bar, or sitting on the other side of the place at regular chairs. What makes this place unique is, it's not a restaurant and it's not a store. It's a place where you come to socialize, grab a drink to go or just hangout and enjoy your drink with friends. As for the food they offer hotdogs, hamburgers, and some vegan options. I really enjoyed the section where you can buy cans, and bottles of beers. Upon request you can even get growlers filled with your brew of choice. I enjoy stouts and there was a few I was interested in. I can see this place being a good chill spot for a older crowd. But it seriously depends on the time and day. For the most part, I see alot of younger ones coming here first, to get their weekend lit.

The bartender (Emelia) cared way more about whatever she had to do on a Sunday night (after 11 PM) instead of making money at a bar that was full. Who calls last call then proceeds to get upset when people order more drinks directly after? That is quite literally the point of last call. The bartender then proceeds to serve like her boyfriend after he comes in after “last call” but not the other two groups of people who got turned away. There’s a reason it took me so long to get to this place, probably won’t be coming back especially if this chick is working. Selection of beers is average and underwhelming for a bottle shop and there’s several better bottle shops in the area.

Pretty neat business. I love how they always have new beers to pick up. They have some decent food from the kitchen, nothing that has really floored me but sufficient enough when having drinks. Service is always top notch, every time I've gone I have been waited on within a minute. They are also dog friendly which is a huge plus for me.I'm only docking a point because I bought their beer membership for the year but I don't really see the huge perk with it. I've only had 1 certain type of beer served in a larger glass at a normal glass price but other than that, I haven't noticed many other perks. I probably won't renew but I will keep coming back.

Best beer selection in Buffalo, with an extremely knowledgeable and fun staff that are always helpful when you can’t decide between the many fantastic options.Perfect food menu for the spot, with many vegetarian options. Comfy atmosphere too! A true gem on Elmwood.

I came to Beer Keeper on 2/5/22 and the DJ was electric. The environment was great and the drinks delicious. I didn’t get food but the people next to me ordered food and it smelled and looked amazing. Love the bar.

The staff were very personable and friendly. They gave recommendations and even asked for our opinions and feedback on what we had been drinking. Large assortment of drinks. Delicious Vegan menu. Try the Agave Beer Mustard! The Zombie Killer Cider is one of the best Ciders I've ever had. The atmosphere was very cozy and the music was on point. I will definitely be going back!!

Had so much fun when I went back in April! I still remember the night as if it was yesterday. I'm happy I got to see some of INK and BVB members and even take pictures with them.Beer was good, Price is good too.

Went here to try out the vegan food and grab some beers. Me and my partner were very disappointed in our food. We both got stinger sandwiches, his normal and mine vegan. Neither had any sauce or toppings that it said it would come with. The sandwiches were small and mine was $15 for just two vegan tenders, a small piece of vegan steak on a small roll. Appetizers were also very expensive and nothing really that great. However, we did enjoy our beers. But overall we left disappointed at how much we spent and how unenjoyable our food was.

If you like good food and the perfect pour you must visit here. Their tap system is one of one in the entire city. The vibe of this establishment is comforting and of course the beer selection is incredible. This is a place you visit once and never want to leave. It’s truly the new black hole in elmwood. Trying to warn you, you will lose track of time. Highly recommend visiting, you won’t be disappointed!- Buffalo Happy Hour

Went to use my habitat for humanity coupon. They had 10 beers on tap but we were not able to choose the one we wanted. We had to have one of two choices both were Sub par. We offered to pay the difference in price for a better beer but were told no! I probably won't be back!

Cool place to grab a casual dinner and a beer. They have a vegan option for everything on the menu which I thought was great so I tried the vegan hotdog and curly fries. The fries were really freaking good and the hotdog was pretty good as well. However I think I would have liked the normal hotdog better. I was super excited to find my favorite brewery had a can in stock here but I was so bummed when I saw the price at $9 and $9.50. I bought 4 packs for $24 at a similar place in Buffalo so I was disappointed by this. Even with the $2.50 to go discount, this is crazy pricing. I don't expect they'll sell much at that price. There were other cans priced better but all of the ones I like were of course expensive. I'd come back with friends to grab a drink though.

Superior tap selection from some of the best breweries in the state, big TV screen for Bills games, dog friendly, outdoor seating, good food, what more could you ask for?Also conveniently next to Breezy Burrito and Jack Rabbit. I see why they chose the location they did.
