Peter's Pub — Restaurant in City of Glens Falls

I live abroad but I'm from South Dublin. Every time I'm home (2-3 times a year)I always try to choose very carefully where that first pint will be had. I had always wanted to pop in to Peter's Pub but never did for whatever reason. I chose here for my 1st pint back. I couldn't believe what I was served. Two absolute no no's happened. I was presented with a pint of Guinness with a shamrock on top and a bubbly head that was below the rim. I was in shock and just stared at it for a few mins trying to decide if I was going to drink it or say something. After 3 or 4mins just staring at it I saw the same server pour another Guinness, this time from another tap, no shamrock and a slightly better cream head. (Still not proud of the rim) So I asked him, "Do you always put a shamrock on the pints of Guinness?" He instantly knew. I could tell he was devastated. And he replied "I thought you were Amercian, you're not American are you?" In fairness to the lad, I've lived in Canada for 10 years so he obviously heard a twang WHICH I'M GUTTED ABOUT but in my strongest Dublin accent I replied saying I was from 5kms down the road. Anyway, as a good solid barman should do, he grabbed the pint, poured it down the sink and poured me another one, this time from a different tap. It was definitely a better pint for sure and this one was borderline acceptable with the head slightly above the rim. We chatted for a bit and I commented that the pint itself was very poor, shamrock aside!! The bubbles in the head, it just didn't look creamy. Anyway, he pointed to the tap and said it was that specific tap...... which got me asking myself "does this pub have a gimpy Guinness tap for the American tourists who know no better?" I'm not saying that is the case but I felt it was suggested. Needless to say, pint experience ruined!! Nice lad and I liked the interior but any pub in Ireland and particularly one that's 2 or 3kms from the Guinness Brewery MUST serve nothing but perfection. It always baffles me how any bar server could present a Guinness that's not proud of the rim!! You expect that pretty much all over the world but not at home, not at home!! First world...

I was in town and staying down the road from here. This is a small town and only two places are open for drinks past 10pm, and as late as 3am.

Cash only, no frills, no nonsense. This is your quintessential small town bar. There's a jukebox that plays loud music, but good luck getting your songs played late at night because the queue will be long. Spend your credits at your own risk.

The bartender, a gentleman who was very friendly, patiently answered any and all questions I had about local recommendations.

My only criticism would be the beer glasses could be cleaned better, and the tap lines probably don't get cleaned out as often as they should, but nary a real complaint from me when the beer is as cheap as $3 a pint, compared to the often outrageous prices just 3 hours south of here.

They also serve a limited food menu, but it was late and I wasn't about to ask the bartender to bother at such an hour.

Also, I was caught off guard by the fact that you're able to play live lottery games at the bar. Pretty neat. Probably be careful with that while drinking though.

If you enjoy a good dive, I highly...

If you want to be bullied by the bartender this is the place to go. I have never been more disrespected by a man in my life. This bartender did not like me for absolutely no reason. I was nothing but kind to all of the people in the bar. Even bought shots for a few people. For some reason the bartender didn’t like that I asked a man at the bar to do shots with me and that the man payed for me. As to why…? I have no clue. Since this bartender didn’t like me he refused to serve me drinks for the rest of the night. Meanwhile I had only had 2 drinks. Highly DO NOT...
