FX Matt 1888 Tavern & Biergarten Concerts

Great brewery on my way to Buffalo for jets bills game. Love Saranac brewery great beer and pretzels.

This is our 3rd or 4th visit to Saranac when we are in the area. We had a great time. The tavern upstairs is odd. We didn't have cash so purchased tokens downstairs. Can't leave a tip when trading tokens for drinks so it's bizarre and feel bad for the bartenders. Bartenders were fabulous and loved the variety and selection. We did a brewery tour a few years ago and loved the history and ambiance of the building.

I went to a local beverage center looking for a craft beer to buy for something different. They suggested Saranac and told me there was a $5 rebate so I purchased it. I followed the rebate link on the receipt and sent the required info. I received a text back that it was approved and could be processed through either PayPal or Venmo which I have neither app or interest in obtaining either app. I’ve called, left messages and finally got a response that they only rebate via these two sources. I had other options with rebates but because Saranac never disclosed their policy I didn’t look at purchasing another product. This is a bad business practice and I’ll never purchase their product again. It’s not the $5 but the way businesses are not transparent to customers anymore.

Friendly people friendly atmosphere and old type tavern from the 1800s.....

We had a wonderful experience here! Sidney was an amazing bartender- so kind. The whole vibe of this brewery is so cool- the building itself is amazing. The food was also excellent!
