Buckledown Brewing - Lyons

I want to give an update as within recent past I feel this brewery has changed, particularly with their customer service. I noticed the staff has become more hostile and less patient with customers which isn't a great look to new customers. They've also changed their policy and no longer allow pets which is a big setback as this was one of the reasons I really enjoyed coming here. We didn't know of their new policy and were very rudely yelled at and scolded by their bartender despite us politely saying we didn't know of the change. The place is quite small despite the patio being open so it might be hard to get a spot on busy days (same goes with parking). The customers are pretty cool. Beers have stayed the same, but would really like to see some new product.

BuckleDown is a good find in Lyons. It doesn't look like much but it exceeds expectations with the beer and food menu. Get a good variety of beers at this small brewery. Has flights available if it's hard to choose. There's also snacks to munch on like pretzels. Another brewery with an interesting location, not near a lot of much else. It's a small place but it still manages to have a variety of beers to choose from. There's a few that are always here as well as seasonal specials. It's about $5 a pint. Pretty affordable for a craft brewery like this. Last time I got the Cactus Pants, a Mexican lager. Pretty appropriate choice because there's lots of Mexican businesses in town. As for the food, a small amount. It's $7 for a soft pretzel. Also they make their own beer cheese. They also let you bring in stuff. Gets mostly locals because it's not easy to find. It's on 47th close to Ogden. There's also a patio which helps with the crowding inside when there's good enough weather.

I was actually quite impressed by this place. This looks like the nice little brewery you 'd expect to see popping up. While the place is a bit on the smaller side, their beers are all quite good. I like the Heff and the IPA. The rest of my group greatly enjoyed our time there. There are also a few arcade games and board games. The only downside is that some of the locals are a little quirky. It looks like alot of locals come here (which is great) and they do a bit of local charity work every month which is amiable. Still, the bartender was an absolute rockstar and if I am in the area, I will be stopping by here. She was the real deal! This place is the real deal!

Neve had any problems here until recently... I've been here a few times with my partner and friends, everything is usually good here. Last time, however, my partner and I came here, he ordered a beer and I decided to just have water. We walked to the patio and a bartender chased us outside and yelled at us that we couldn't go to the parking lot, even though we were headed to the patio. So we went back inside feeling embarrassed. Eventually we sat at a table and that same bartender stared at me the entire time. It was to the point where I was extremely uncomfortable and my partner quickly finished his beer and we left. If he was concerned I was underage or something he could have asked for my ID(I'm 27) or notice that I wasn't drinking anything but water. I never want to go back. I don't know who that bartender is or what his name is but he is very ignorant and seems to enjoy making people feel uncomfortable and embarrass them...sad considering we gave a lot of business in the past..

Great selection of beers on Tap super friendly.... It's dog friendly and kid friendly and has both indoor and outdoor seating. It goes old school with Ms Pacman video game and a pinball machine
