Our Guestbook
“ Love this brewery. Close to culture lab. Great spot to hang out locally with friends. Would come back ”
“ Must try: All Day Night (coffee stout), Big Day Inn (Lager), and Fuzz Liteyear (Pilsner)! Why: Honestly, I enjoyed all their beers! They don't have flights but you can order small 5 oz cups to try them all. My fav was the canned Coffee Stout! They also had a vendor making poutine, which was a nice addition to the beers. Notes: Neighborhood vibes with awesome bartender and friendly locals. I was craving a beer after playing pickleball so walked across the street to this brewery. Neat small spot decorated with holiday cheer. Also got to meet Brownie the brewery cat - such a cool, sweet, and friendly cat! Hung out with me while I was trying beers. Good vibes, good time! Cheers! ”
“ 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. ”
“ We love coming here on the weekends, grab a brew and check out the music across the street at the culture lab. Do it! ”
“ Small place but still has a good amount of seating on the inside and outside. Friendly bar staff and a nice selection of interesting beers. Will come back for the vibes and the chance of meeting Brownie the cat! Recommend: Pumpkin Spiced Nitro Stout ”
“ This is a local, small bar! I liked their menu, offerings. My boyfriend and I enjoyed this black "gourd" nitro stout with pumpkin spice topping. The service was great! The bartender is very friendly! There is a decent amount of seating, although the large TV that was broadcasting sports was closer to the entrance, but it was fun hearing the cheers of those watching. ”
“ This place has great beers and good vibes. Located about a 10-minute walk from the Long Island City ferry and in close proximity to multiple other breweries. This is a must-stop for a brewery tour or a drink before or after dinner. Outdoor seating is limited, but it is a good grab and go spot. ”
“ Solid brewery with great beers. This place is right near Gantry Park with a few sets in doors and plenty outdoors. I got the Hawaiian Pizza IPA, a double hazy at 6.8%. Though an IPA, its light and refreshing, perfect for a summer day. The place is so welcoming and there are so many dogs that come here to chill while their owners drink. there's also a resident brewery cat. he's an orange cat and ohbso cute. I love popping by this place because they have good beers and the serving line goes quickly. they also have pop up good spots that serve right outside. when I went, Diggy's burgers were on the menu. they smashed burgers and oh so delicious. I live stopping by rockaway brewing when I'm in the area. ”
“ I loved my visit to Rockaway Brewing. One of my friends is really into breweries, so we hopped around some breweries in LIC, and Rockaway was one of the ones we hit. I will say that I've liked every brewery I visited in LIC, but Rockaway definitely stood out with their brewery cat! I've talked about that cat to everyone every time a brewery is mentioned. Anyway, great beers, friendly staff, and a BREWERY CAT? I couldn't ask anything more from a brewery. Highly recommend! ”
“ LIC has a number of breweries but only one with a cool brewery cat named Brownie. Brownie is an orange cat and is definitely the shining star of Rockaway but the staff holds their own as well. He's friendly and will also hold his own against any canine visitors. As for the beer, I am strictly a sour beer drinker which they don't always have but thankfully I've lucked out with one one tap the last few visits. I tend to come here with Run LIC, and we've always been welcomed whether it be a post-run beer, brewery run stop, or marathon medal celebration. I have enjoyed all of the sours I have tried thus far. The indoor area isn't super large so it's great when the weather is nicer because they have a lot of outdoor seating too. ”
