Red Jug Pub — Restaurant in City of Oneonta

UPDATE: Reducing to 1 Star from 2. Visited again on a Saturday around 3:30pm. Bar was not packed with college students at the time since it was so early, so we assumed we'd be able to get some drinks. You know what they say about assumptions. We sat at the bar for at least 10 minutes before a bartender even acknowledged our presence. Once they did, we stated we wanted to do a tasting/challenge. Filled out the sheet, and were ready in less than a minute. Our bartender served a multitude of others at a snails pace while we sat waiting and waiting and waiting... After about 30 minutes with no drink, we gave up and left. Went to the Black Oak and were immediately acknowledged, welcomed and served.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: They skip your music when you pay $3 per song to fast pass it. Also if you aren't early and get a seat at the bar, prepare for long wait times for drinks. Finally found a space at the bar to get a drink and waited 7-10 mins before I was served. If you're young, like to party, and are looking for a crowded bar, this is the spot. If you're just looking to relax, have a good time, and have a couple drinks,...

It was horrible service. I went out with my husband and friend. I watched as they were ignored and the female bartender only paid attention to 4 females and never once looked up to acknowledge any other person. There were at least 5 to six at the counter with helpers, and yet most were fixed on helping those who already had a drink in hand. Finally a gap was about to appear and untold my friend to get ready to take it. He did and still was ignored until he said hey, when your done with them I would like to order. She took his order and left him in the middle of his order. It took forever for him to get his drinks, and as soon as a new younger female came, they were taken care of quickly and assertively.

It seemed the focus that night were for certain age females. I guess service during the summer is better during the fall. The atmosphere was more pleasant...

I am so glad I was able to visit RJP Oneonta in their 10th year. This bar was iconic when I was a student so I made a stop on my road trip from MD to Lake George.

I got 2 double vodka lemonades (cherry and peach, respectively) and also bought a tshirt. The Jug shirts are SO FUN and this is my 9th 😅

Casey was my bartender, she was fantastic and I was one of two patrons when I went around lunch (Friday of MDW so no students). I will always make a stop when I can for RJP. Cheers to 10...
