The Bronx Brewery resides in an urban area, of course, with free parking along the street. In the early evening, parking was easy. The building is two-story brick with metal grating over the windows and a stainless steel lettered sign on the side of the building. Just inside the entrance is a foosball table, and a couch on the right. The floor is concrete, and pipes and conduits run along the low white ceiling. The place has a happy dive bar atmosphere with thumping music and random conversations. Ahead on the left is their small serving bar. It is 2-sided concrete with 9 metal stools, and to the left are a few wooden barrels with stools. A white ceramic beer tower is in the center, and a chalkboard past the bar lists their offering. The walls are white and boast several examples of brewery shirts for sale. The name of the brewery is in distinctive black and white letters behind the bar. Overhead are a variety of incandescent bulbs. Head-high windows look out onto the brewery floor. In front are their midsize stainless steel brewing vessels. In back are various sizes of stainless steel fermenters. On the right is their canning line, and a large cold room is in back. Pallets of empty cans are stacked in the corners, and there are racks of barrel aging beer. They have 4 beers on tap, which are available by plastic cup or sampler flight. When I visited they were also serving a 5th beer poured from their canned product. Their offering centers around pale ales, and they have multiple variations - traditional, rye, Belgian, summer, and hoppy session ale, my favorite. They have 4-packs of their cans for sale, and the draft beer can be purchased to go by growler. They do not have a kitchen, but they do sell large pretzels and jerky from the bar. The staff is cheerful and efficient. I was pleasantly surprised with this casual little place.

The Bronx Brewery is located in a large industrial building in the Bronx. There's street parking outside, which should be sufficient since there doesn't seem to be much else in the area.

You walk into a foyer area, then can go straight into the brewery or left into the tap room area. I picked left. There's a small bar, with a few convenient seating areas for patrons. They also have some board games for those inclined to play.

Their beers are all in the Pale Ale family. They were mostly ok, nothing spectacular, but most made for easy drinking.
