Timeline
16:21
Start with a soft-serve ice cream. Custard Corner is a West Side staple, and the classic double-shot of hot dog and ice cream is a local tradition worth trying, even if just the ice cream.
16:51
Walk over to Community Beer Works. This is the anchor of your evening. If tours are running, join one to see how Buffalo’s famous craft beers are made. If not, grab a seat and order a pint of their 'Frank' or 'Whale' ale to enjoy the view.
17:06
Watch the sunset. The brewery offers a vantage point to see the sun set toward the WSW, casting that late-winter golden light over the West Side.
17:36
End the night with dessert. Walk back to La Flor Bakery for bizcocho or flan, a perfect Puerto Rican sweet finish to your craft beer tour.
