Finback Brewery

Fun spot in a uniquely Brooklyn neighborhood. Grab some beers then head down the street for an impromptu street fest with locals BBQ’n dancing in the streets. Doesn’t hurt that they have one of the best IPAs in the country!

It was a fantastic place to visit, but the hours of operation, combined with the difficulty in finding it, made it a hard place to drink at. I finally got to go inside and found the place to be spacious but not very comfortable. I did enjoy their large selection and bought quite a few samples before ordering my first batch of growlers. I really found it to be a nice addition to all the bars and restaurants that already existed in Glendale from a long time back. I miss the area since I moved away and if I get the chance I will stop in again when I can.

Fairly large tap room with ample seating. Bartenders are pleasant but not overly friendly, they are knowledgeable of their beers on tap. Nice assortment of beers on tap-pilsners, IPA's, stouts and sours. IPA heavy but something for everyone. Kid friendly, pizza made to order on the premises. . Lots of beers available to go.

Hands down one of the best spots in NYC. Leans heavy towards IPAs, but they consistently brew amazing sours & stouts. Always a great can selection. Highly recommend this place!

This is nice neighborhood brewery in Queens who is doing some killer beers. My wife and I stopped by on a rainy Sunday afternoon before catching a flight back to California. We were able to find parking, but I could see it being fun to find a spot at times. Arriving about 30 minutes after opening, we were the first one's to arrive. The service was friendly, but not overly. Gave some recommendations on beers and let us be. Mostly IPAs with some stouts and sours. Probably my favorite beer in the New York area. Wow! As far as food, we ended up ordering from a local pizza, only to have the Trattoria (personal pizza) show up 30 minutes later. Oh well. Kid friendly with games. Family and local feel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

we had the best time in here, after visiting over a dozen breweries around the city last week, this may be our consensus favorite. its amazing in every way. it took us awhile from brooklyn to get out here, and the place just sort of springs up out of a residential neighborhood, minimally indicated, a knock three times on the blue door kind of thing, you could never know this place was even here. in my head, this place is like the epicenter of creativity and quality right now, and i expected it to be packed when we visited, but we were basically the only people in here for a couple of hours on a weeknight, a few folks strolled in and out, but it was insanely mellow. they had a great list of beers, both on tap and packaged, and the bartender, anthony i believe was his name, was awesome, entertaining, knowledgeable, cool with the sampling, and helped us recover some lost gear at the end of the night, dude is a legend, and made our experience that much better. even without him though, the beer was incredible. a stout with sesame seeds and matcha tea, a coconut gose, and an apple brandy aged big stout with pineapple and coconut were the highlights for me for sure, but everything we drank in here was exceptional, and im not sure ill ever go to the city again without visiting this place. their hoppy stuff is at least as good as more hyped other half (among others), the dark stuff is on point, and the barrel aged beers were killer as well. the perfect brewery experience, we had a wonderful time here! if you are not yet hip to these guys, check it out!

Visited Sunday 1PM. Not crowded at all.
Tried 4 kinds of 4Oz tasting IPAs.
Great service and quite reasonable to try to many IPAs.
Slightly cold site in winter. Good for beer but ,,.

Chill Sunday. Smaller place, nice bar, friendly service. Not overwhelming place, a great bottling still around. On tap was so much better than getting it in Buffalo or later in cans/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a must visit if you are in Queens. This Brewery is doing some great things with IPAs, APAs, Red Ales, and Stouts. Creative ideas come out from them all the time. I have had many customers request Finback and the feedback is normally quite positive.

 

 

 

I really enjoyed my visit to Finback. I had tasted their beers before but was not expecting such a cool taproom. It is a clean, spacious warehouse-like jawn in a residential area of Queens, far from pretty much all civilization. They don't have any food other than chips, but you can get stuff delivered there.

And really, you are there for the beer. From hazy IPA's to barrel-aged imperial stouts, they have it all here, and all well made. Finback is worth a visit, even if it is a trek for most New Yorkers.

 

 

 

The first NY brewery I visited after moving here. The vibe is a bit lacking- it's a big space and feels very open but there's not always much going on. The range of beer styles is impressive, and the good ones are great, but there are a lot of odd balls as well. Staff is friendly enough but can be a bit short. I still love coming here!

Bare bones, industrial kinda space in, from what I could tell, a kinda middle of nowhere section of Queens, NY. (not far from Citi Field, which could make things interesting during baseball season)

One large open room with a simple, larger beer in front of you as you enter, witha bunch a bunch of simple picnic tables to the right.

the highlight of this place, of course is the beer...its is worth the trip

we visited on a rainy, chilly October evening, place was near full of younger, friendly beer enthusiasts....10 taps a flowing for samplers or more full pours and they were selling tons of their super high quality and tasty tasty brews in 4 pack can configurations....

love their hoppy, cloudy IPA and DIPAs in can, great vibe and fun place to visit...could have used a food truck or two outside.. would consider order some food in for delivery if I was staying for a few...well worth a visit-quality new place
