Regarding The Genesee Brew House Building. The Brew House is brand new this year (2012) and has been a huge success. It is located on the grounds of High Falls Brewing, makers of the Genesee brand of beers, as well as J.W. Dundee craft beers and Honey Brown Lager. The upper deck apparently has a fantastic view of the falls (supposedly better than that offered by the Pont de Rennes Bridge itself).

The walls in front of the Brew House are what is left of the old Cataract Brewing Building. This building was demolished this year to make room for this parking lot.
