John Russell Brewing Company Brew House & Restaurant

"John Russell Brewing is a newer and welcomed addition to Erie, PA. More than just a great selection of brews, they offer more, with some tasty menu items. Service was great and would recommend stopping in and trying them out! P.S. They do offer samples so you can try before you commit to a draft beer you aren't sure you'd like."

"My burger was outstanding! I never would have thought to put apple slices on a burger, but it works well with the maple BBQ sauce. Fries were crispy. I did not enjoy my seasonal cocktail as there was an odd bitter aftertaste. The concept sounded good though. Nice, clean space with attentive servers and a free parking lot in a mini plaza on upper Peach Street. My mom thought the poutine burger was just okay but I would go back to try that next time. It would be even better if they offered turkey burgers as an option."

"The food was good. I was in town for business and found this brewery. It is a place where I will frequent, when I come to town. Jenn, the bartender is one of the best in the business. Do not pass up an opportunity to drink or eat here. I recommend sitting at the bar. The beer was ok for me, but I can be a snob at times. Do not pass up an opportunity to visit here"

"One of the only non-chain establishments on Peach and the only brewery. Excellent beer selection, both in house and guest brews. Multiple different styles are represented. Also, a great food menu with lots to choose from. I had the Jamaican Jerk Flatbread and it was delicious. It is nice to see a real place to eat and get a quality beer among all the chains."

"This was our second visit. It is a must stop when we head to see family in PA. The brews are tasty and so are the mules. Service is fast and friendly. And the food is always great! Loved the pretzel with mustard and cheese. I opt for pizza and am never disappointed. Usually have some sports on the TV. Quiet in the summer months and busier in the fall. Go see them! You'll be glad you did! Way better than visiting just a chain."
