We went for dinner and drinks. Had some pros and cons.
Parking in the area was kind of difficult. Made worse by the snow. Our seating options were "High top right near the front door" or "table right next to the bathroom". And then there was a considerable wait time before our drink order was taken. In that time we noticed the draft the ran through every time someone came or left and some discomfort from the chairs. There are backing rails that encompass the outside above the seat, which had my hips right up against both sides(I'm 5'10 and like 180 pounds). So my wife and I found ourselves sitting on the edges of the seats so as not to be squished.
Our server was attentive once he freed up and took the time to explain things to us and checked up on us pretty frequently. My wife's food was undercooked; they confirmed, apoligized, and remade it without incident which was no big deal. And it came back out as quickly as it could.
Have to give them additional props for their beer selection. Great representatives of a lot of different styles. And their food was really good with generous...
Read moreWe stopped in here Friday afternoon our way from Syracuse to Latham for a bowling tournament. What an amazing decision, as we have never been here!
My husband and I sat at the bar and we were instantly welcomed by the bartender who happened to be the owner. He was very knowledgeable with his taps and beer selections in general. Great local beer selections on tap and a small cooler on the side full of cans available for sale.
The food… omg the food!!!! We started with the wings, they were crispy, juicy, fresh and slightly breaded. For our lunch we both got the taproom fried chicken sandwich, and let me tell you… I never eat my full sandwich and I woofed that thing down with no regrets! The fried chicken was tender and juicy, topped with a tangy coleslaw, bread and butter pickles with a sriracha aioli atop a brioche bun. Although I am not a french fry person, my husband loved the crispy fries!
Phenomenal all around, atmosphere, food and drinks. The locals truly love this place also and were very knowledgeable with the surrounding areas great food/drink spots!
Can’t wait to...
Read moreUpon entering we were hit with the smell of stale beer. Should have turned around then... Not a great lunch unfortunately. The restaurant was way too cold to enjoy anything. The tile floors were waxed and extremely slippery. The restroom floor was so slippery that I SLID all the way to the sink. (I just had double hip replacement, so super scary.) The woman at the table next to us was AFRAID to even try to use the restroom after she heard me talk about the floors. Also, I had to order my beer twice because the bartender 'forgot'. There were only 3 others in the place at the time. We attempted to order a 'dirty' soda but was told after waiting 5 minutes that 'the ingredients were used last night and never replaced'. We ordered fried pickles, they were hardly cooked and the batter wouldn't stay on. Also ordered salad, can't mess that up too much. My friend had lobster Mac and Cheese said it was ok but only ate a third of it. The bright side was the fried brussel sprouts, they were very good. Overall we were totally dissatisfied. Unfortunately we will not be...
