One of the best breweries in NYC. The blood orange IPA is amazing. All of the cocktails, wines and beers are NYC made. Live music on the regular. You can have food delivered to Flagship and I highly recommend Pier 76 pizza. Very family and dog friendly.
First of all it's quite nostalgic to have a brewery on Staten Island again. The beers are all top flight, unique, and of course, delicious!!!!! A personal favorite of mine is the Birra Locale, a craft Italian Pilsner.
Such a relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff. We'd love to come back and hang out again. Our little one enjoyed it as well. He met a couple of other kids his age and we didn't feel so weird because we weren't the only people with kids at a brewery. Huge shoutout for allowing animals. We met several adorable animals we fell in love with. Also...popcorn!
During our visit to this brewery in Staten Island, we were greeted with exceptional service, ample space, and a delightful surprise - delicious onion rings. Plus, we thoroughly enjoyed their beer offerings.
Loved this place! Came here on a whim after riding the ferry and was pleasantly surprised. The place is really nice and cozy but also has a lot of space. The warm string lighting makes it so warm and inviting. The staff were very helpful in selecting a beer, both of the guys working gave different options and gave us some other samples. They only sell chips for food so be mindful. Had such a lovely time. Would recommend to anyone.
Walking distance from the ferry, this was our first top on our day outing in SI. This was such a great brewery - delicious beers and a huge space! Love the overall vibe - lots of long tables and plenty of space so you'll never feel cramped. It's kind of wild seeing a buck head on the wall and people dressed in camo - felt like I was back home in Texas! I can't remember exactly what I got, but I'm pretty sure I had a very delicious coffee stout as well as another sour which I liked. The people behind the bar were super kind as well. Pro tip - they allow you to bring in food from the outside. Last time I was there we ordered pizza from Pier 76. What's better than drinking beer and eating pizza with friends on a summer day? If you're spending time in Staten Island, Flagship is definitely deserving a spot on your itinerary!
Great brewery on Staten Island! When it opened in 2014, a year before we moved, I did patronize it a few times. And, if I remember correctly, it was the first brewery opened on the island in quite a long time. They were just starting out and had a limited selection back then. Over the years their operations have expanded and they offer a really nice lineup of IPAs, lagers, stouts, seasonal and the occasional specialty beer. When I came back to visit my parents, it became a regular stop for me and I would take a four or six pack back home to North Carolina. I was in town last week and went to the Oyster Festival with some friends and had a great time. The area where it's located has on street and off street parking and is a short walk from the Staten Island Ferry and the shopping outlets nearby. Definitely check this place out and stop in for a beer or two if you happen to be in the area.
Super cute brewery! Order a pint or a flight so you can try them all. I liked the IPA and Amber ale best. I'm normally a pilsner fan, but I wasn't a biggest fan of the pizza rat pilsner (I did enjoy the name though). The vibes here are great. The space is huge and there are tons of long tables. As with most breweries, you can bring in your own food. The decor is super rustic and cozy with lots of hanging string lights. It's very log cabin chic. There are also board games. I could see this being a great spot for a large group gathering / party. Going to a brewery is always a cool and different alternative to visiting a bar. There aren't many other breweries on SI, and Flagship is a great option!
Craft beer can be found on Staten Island, at this brewery. Flagship is a reason to get on the ferry. It has a large dining hall setting. Beers have good variety and prices. Transportation choices make it easier to get to. Atmosphere is fun. It's hard to imagine anything being fun on Staten Island. This is a welcome change from that. It has a large indoor seating area. This is set up like a dining hall is with lots of long tables. I came with my attractive female friend and rode the bus from the ferry. We sat at the bar and looked at the beer menu. Beer has better variety than I thought it would here. There's IPAs, but there's also kolschs and sours. I had the Blood Orange IPA. It's $7 for a pint. This isn't overly hoppy, and it's not overly sweet. It doesn't have a food menu but you can bring your own here. Pizza places also deliver to here. They also often have food trucks.
