Great selection of IPAs and a delicious ESB. The indoor space is not big, but it has a great vibe. Staff are wonderful.

I had the opportunity to visit this taproom a couple of weeks ago, and my evening there was a highlight of my trip to New York. My wife and I only intended to have "a couple" before moving on to another bar, but had such a great time we stayed until closing. I tried 4 different beers, all of which tasted excellent, notably the ESB. But what really made it special was how friendly the bar was, even though Brownie was being aloof and enigmatic 😀. Jessica was running the bar and looked after us superbly, making us feel totally welcome, and one of the regular patrons also went out of his way to get us joining in with the vinyl night - I hope Def Leppard was an acceptable choice! Thanks to Jessica and everyone at Rockaway.

This brewery is a bit divey and smaller compared to other breweries nearby. The bartender was very friendly and even gave us additional beer to try even after getting 3 shorts. I love how there’s a cat on the counter that just freely roams around and just chills in the box right by the heater. This brewery definitely feels like a neighborhood bar that people frequently visit for a beer to enjoy.

Really cool spot with a great brewery cat and amazing happy hour during the week. $10 beer and shot combo is the way to go with Jaywalker rye a local New York rye that's fantastic paired with your choice of beer. Outside seating is amazing and plentiful. It's not other half level beer but they do a good job, the pineapple pizza IPA was particularly good.

This cozy neighborhood brewery may have a small indoor space, but the outdoor seating makes it a great spot to relax when the weather is nice. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, creating a laid-back, local vibe. They offer a rotating selection of beers, plus rosé and non-alcoholic options for variety. The real star, though, is Brownie the cat, who adds charm and personality as he lounges near the bar. I come here often—it’s one of my favorite breweries in the area.

I'm so HAPPY I came across Rockaway Brewing Company. I was at Gantry State Park enjoying the sunset, taking some pictures, and taking in the beautiful views when I decided to walk back to the subway station. Fortunately I bumped into RBC on my way back and was exactly the vibe I needed. The seating area indoors is not too big and not too small, but just right. The place was very welcoming, crowd down to earth, and the bartender very friendly. I had two beers - Who Let the Frogs Out (IPA) and the American Pils. Both fantastic!! 🍺 🍺 And above all, there is a brewery CAT! His name is Brownie and he practically runs the place. 😺 I can't wait to come back here very soon!

All I ask is to understand they brew well. The flavors are on point everything is great and the service is great too. If you're on lighter flavors my place for you. There are heavy flavors too as for the porter. Didn't try the food...

Our favorite hangout spot in the neighborhood. There is a solid draft menu and a few bottle/can options also. There is usually a rotating food vendor cooking next store also, but you can bring in DoorDash/etc too. The bartenders are good and the cat (Brownie) is super friendly!

Some nice tasty beers here but the Oat IPA was incredible. Guy working at the bar was friendly. Metal music playing was not my taste though. And it really is kind of a hole in the wall tasting room.
