The Brewery of Broken Dreams - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Charming, local brewery with good beers.

Excellent brews, interesting selection that includes many ales brewed in UK styles, using mostly NY state ingredients. Brewer is friendly and a wealth of cool information. Cozy space, beautifully renovated.

Small but mighty! We stopped on a Thursday and it was quiet and a lovely atmosphere to walk into. The owner served us, she was knowledgeable and kind. They have a great air conditioned space inside or a nice spot outside to sit with old or new friends. Only suggestion I’d make is a fire pit for chilly days! But otherwise this was great. Beer was delicious, something for everyone.

Great beer, very cool pub vibe.

We love this place! Such a quaint quality brewery. The owners are wonderful! 👏

Enjoyed the English and Scottish beers while my wife thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate stout

Always delicious!! Never disappointed!! Owner/ brewer is a true Artist! We Love the atmosphere, brews, owners, & staff! Broken Dreams is always our 1st stop in NY, and well.... our middle, and last stop. Can't get enough of their beer.

We were so lucky that TBOBD was open on Sunday as we were passing through Hammondsport. You feel right at home as soon as you open the door. The historic building was renovated by the owners and they did a great job of combining old with new. We spent about an hour talking with the owner and really enjoying our time spent there. The beer list is diverse. If you are looking for all sours/IPA's, then you may want to frequent another brewery. If you want a spectrum of quality beers from lagers to stouts, then this is the place for you. Local ciders and wines also. I had an ESB and a chocolate stout. Both well done. Thank you and we will be back for sure. Dave and Lisa

Used to love this place. Great building and used to be a great experience. Staffing changes and those running it are less than enthusiastic. Two people with zero personality running it now and the beer was not near what it used to be. Much better beer and better staff in the fingerlakes. Sadly, Looks like this place has run its course. Bring back good staff and brew better beer. Go up the road to Keuka Brewing or Steuben.

Fun place, and staff, I treating building, good brews

Ok very good beer! Nice variety of bar and intimate seating. Nice outdoor seating. Very good bartender. Beer was better and cheaper than Finger Lakes.

Great place. Decent prices, great variety and an awesome bartender from London, who was fun to talk to. Our group took our flights around to the side patio and no one else was there. Highly recommend a visit! 😀

Simon was amazing and very patient with our questions. The hyperdeliciousness was amazing! One of the best milk chocolate stputs i have ever had!

A real pub that makes great beer in a cozy 100+ year old building. Friendly pourers and a nice mix of tourists and locals. I wish I lived next door, I'd be Norm (ask your parents kids).

I drink at this lonely bar the only one that I have ever known don't know what I drink But it's home to me, and I drink alone I drink at this empty bar at the The Brewery of Broken Dreams Where the drunk man sleeps And I'm the only one, and I drink alone I drink alone, I drink alone I drink a- My shadow's the only one that drinks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

Flights were great. Try the Mien!

Very good beer here! Great selection. Try the dark flight.

Had a great visit here! 5$ Friday brews!!! What more can you ask for??? Great choices for beers and not just the regular assortment of flavors! Looking forward to checking out their website and upcoming brews, especially the chocolate milk stout for Valentine's day! The staff was friendly and informative. Will return :)

The best of the best. Great beers and courteous staff make this a must on your places to stop at!

Always a great set of hand crafted beer on tap. Also tasty snacks. A must visit if you are near Hammondsport. They have short pours and full pints too. Can take anything to go canned at the premises as requested.

If you're looking for a nice brew pub with a great story and good beer you must stop here. The atmosphere was amazing, the merch was neat, and it created a perfect memory.

Good brews and very friendly staff. Annia was very helpful. We filled our growler with a Scottish Ale.

Charming place, beer horrible, got stung by bee and horse fly!!! Staff didn't care.

The atmosphere was cute, along with the selection of beers. The only complaint I do have to offer is the lack of ebullient customer service and seating for guests.

Tasty. Somewhat distinct brews. Well worth a stop. Plus the name of the brewery alone ...

Very cool place. Old (1870s-1880s) building is just neat to be in. Parking is a little limited but once your inside it's a great atmosphere and beer selection. Pale ales are very good, strong grain flavor. Friendly people and cool merch available.

Excellent beer... Friendly service... Highly recommend it!!

Been coming here for several years on annual trips to the lake. Love the old barn ambiance and great selection of beers. Also great you can get tasting flights of 2/4 oz and 1/2 pours so you can pick your favorite for a growler to go.

Friendly staff, knowledgeable and well versed on their offerings. Older structure with a lot of history to it. Located at the bottom of Keuka Lake. The brews we're tasty and the dry cider was good too! Cute gift shop inside. Outdoor seating in the grass on either side of the building.

Great beer. Great service. Great music. Delicious stuffed pickle!

Great selection of beer and the staff was very friendly. Easy parking and only minutes downtown Hammondsport.

Parking is terrible but the beer is good!

The Hyperdeliciousness Chocolate Cream Stout is the Best Stout on the Market today. I prefer it over Guinness Stout. It's that great!!!!! The Brewery of Broken Drwams hit a Grand Slam when they created this beer!!!!!

Excellent beer and atmosphere. First time coming here, and I will definitely be back! Staff were friendly and helpful.

Had to sit outside, but that's not the brewery's fault. I was considerably underwhelmed by the beers and had high hopes for this place. Everything had the Belgian yeast taste, including what the were calling a stout, but probably should've been a strong ale. I would give it another shot post-Covid, but wouldn't make a special trip

It a great place with great beer! One of my favorite places to stop on the beer trail!

The beer was good, place was cute, it just didn't have the mojo I was looking for

Fantastic beers and friendly service! Loved it and will absolutely be back!

Have been going here for years, always have a nice conversation with the staff and the beers are always good. Just brought friends here for their first visit, we had a great time.

Great beer, great people, great setting! Highly recommend

I, as well as friends and family have been to this brewery many times. The beers offered will satisfy just about every pallet. I like the dark beers and have always found at least a few to my liking. The owner/brewer attended a local brewfest at a place called Seneca Lodge, in Watkins Glen. He brought a Dunkel that all in my group rated as the Gold Medal beer of the event. I will continue to support this fantastic brewery whenever I am able!

This was the first stop on our mini Hammondsport, NY area brewery crawl this weekend. Parking is very minimal, which I think may be the biggest drawback to this place, especially during winter. The tasting room appears to be a converted basement/bottom floor type area, and I thought the setup and atmosphere was very nice from an aesthetic and practical viewpoint. The beer selection was small, but interesting. The bartenders seemed pretty knowledgeable about the beers on tap. There's a few snacks on offer here; the cheese filled pickles seemed to be a pretty popular choice, though we didn't try it.

Truly top-notch microbrewery. Beautiful location, with expertly crafted beers. All beers sampled were not only true to style, but uniquely crafted. Very friendly, knowledgable, and attentive staff. After an extensive tour of 18 plus finger lakes area breweries, this one is definitely in the top 2-3. do yourself a favor and stop in! Dog friendly to boot!

Fantastic beers, true to style, in a unique & welcoming environment

Great beer selection in a casual atmosphere!

Loved this place. After a long day on the motorcycle it is a great place to stop.

Great little brewery in the bottom of an old barn!

Awesome 👍. I highly recommend this place!

Great beer and awesome atmosphere!

Awesome atmosphere, great beer, great hosts!

Great beers and atmosphere. The bartender was also fantastic! We really enjoyed this place!

A good variety of beer on tap with my favorites being the Floating Leaf brown porter ale and the So You're Wild oatmeal stout. Both of the bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. The taproom was clean and spacious. It was a good find .

Friendly staff and delicious beer

Nice ambiance. Barkeep was VERY knowledgeable about his beers. Beers we tried were very good.

Excellent beer selection and friendly staff

I visited this brewery on July 4th did a tasting of their beers which were all very good. I bought a few items and was one my way back home to PA. When I got home I noticed the one stemmed glass we bought somehow didnt have their logo on it, it was just a small stemmed glass. I emailed them a picture of what I had received and wasnt expecting anything in return. To my surprise they had offered to ship me the glass I wanted at no charge. I got the glass other day and I couldn't be more than happy. They didnt need to do this, they went above and beyond. I will definitely stop in again on my next trip to the finger lakes region.

Love this place. So nice and friendly

Another great spot. Beer was wonderful...all five different types. Great atmosphere and staff. Will definitely return.

Great beers made locally, always worth the trip

They have the absolute best name for a small local, especially now that the craft brew scene is going through its first serious shake-out.

Fantastic place. Great beer. Not a single dream was broken.

IPA 6.6abv good lo floral some malt some bitter. - no outdoor seating.

Fantastic brewery. Really enjoyed the beers.

Stopped in while on a mini vacation with friends. We tried all eight beers they had on tap. With the exception of the first one (which was just OK) they were all phenomenal. Some of the best beer we have ever tasted--and that was the unanimous opinion of three beer drinkers with very different tastes (one is an IPA fan, one a lover of dark beers and me, I'm the Pilsner/Lager guy). All three of us loved them all! Not an easy task for a group with such wide ranging preferences. Put it on your list of you're in the Hammondsport area.

Cool little local brewery with some good beers on tap. Cool tasting room in an old building!

When we come to the lake we bring our growlers to be filled and go to Brewery of Broken Dreams... great people, really good beers and ales, and just a short drive west of Hammondsport on Lake Street. Locally owned place that uses locally sourced ingredients.

Wow! Fantastic! If visiting the area or a local, what a brave and fantastic collection of brews. Very much recommend. The story, the history, and the brews are just beyond phenomenal. Oliver, our serving specialist was not only knowledgeable but passionate. Truly an amazing experience. Visit this brewery, and do yourself a favor.

It's not often that I will enjoy every beer in a flight at a brewery. This place is the exception. Fantastic brews and knowledgeable people working there. Wasn't my first time here and won't be my last.

My wife and I ventured into this brewery while we were on our minimoon down on keuka lake. I must say... EVERY beer they brew was INCREDIBLE. I left there with 3 growlers, and everyone I have had try this beer has said... "Where can I get it?" We have been here twice now, and each time I ask them if they have started bottling. Loved our experience, and will be going back to get "to bee or not to bee" very shortly.

I am beer snob and loved this place. Informed and fun staff, quintessential old stone building, great logo and beer was top notch with something for everyone. And a short ride from Hammondsport, a most charming village!

We LOVE Broken Dreams!!! The beer is outstanding, the staff is so much fun - and knowledgeable - the tasting room is full of character and we have such a great time every single time we go there!!

Enjoyed chatting with the staff. Very friendly.

New brewery just outside of Hammondsport. Cool old building- was once part of the local wine industry. I wasn't crazy about the beer, but that's just me. Worth a visit for a tasting.
