Hamburg
Another nearby town with a little village that has an offering of store, restaurants, a winery and a brewery. Worth exploring if you are in the area.

A great taproom with a variety of beer selections. The menu is smaller, but the food is good. The atmosphere is great. In the colder months, the huge stone fireplace is incredible. In the summer, the outdoor setup with the pond is great. They have live music, so it is worth the short drive to enjoy a great afternoon or evening.

They are in Hamburg, and have a few locations including one that is going to open in Ellicottville soon down the road from Steelbound. Great craft beer selection.
Alchemy Wine & Beer: https://www.alchemybuffalo.com/
Born from an idea in a New Orleans wine bar, a great spot in the village to stop for a glass of wine or a draft. Check out their calendar for music and other events.
