This popular brewery has been a hit with locals since it first opened its doors in 2014 — probably because of its constant involvement with community activities and collaboration with local artists, or due to its wide selection of beers that keeps you camping out at the brewery longer than you should.

During warm seasons, the backyard is open and events are constantly taking place. When it is too cold outside, the brewery plays host to yoga classes and Reggae Sweatboxes. A cozy place with knowledgable and friendly staff, The Bronx Brewery is the first brewery to operate in the South Bronx since prohibition. It’s responsible for bringing life and beer back to Port Morris.
