We traveled the day we went here - we were walking around town saw it was an Irish pub so figured we'd give it a shot! Didn't have much of the Irish food we were thinking you would see. There were two separate entrances one to go upstairs then another behind it to the main level. We walked in and a sign was there to seat your self so we did we could see the lake which was nice. Was dark inside, bathroom tiny too. The food was ok. I got the Turkey sandwich which was on rye and shredded not much flavor but the rye bread, the pastrami sandwich was also shredded my father in law had it and said it was different my mother in law had the cod sandwich which she said was good. The fries were yummy! read more

Picture says families welcome..... YEAH RIGHT!!! Stopped in for some wings round 9 pm as my son was hungry. Place seemed ok. Was some live music in upper area so we sat up there. Ordered our food everything seemed fine until 65 year old singer threw a tantrum about kids sitting near him. And stormed off yelling about it. Keep in mind this is right after I watched him be an ultimate creeper giving "hand hugs" to some like 21 year old girls that were walking by him. Minute or so later a guy came up and said kids not allowed up there and told us to leave. There were no signs whatsoever saying that. If there was an issue why serve us in the first place?. If they said something right away wouldn't have been any issue. Any ways families steer clear. Wings were trash too. read more

Me and my parents were in town for the day and trying to find a quick bite for lunch. We also had our dog with us so we needed somewhere that had outdoor seating and wasn't packed. This place looked like a head outdoor seating, but it was closed that time. But thankfully, the waitress offered to put us back in a corner so we could still have our dog with us. She even brought a bowl of water out for him. It was typical bar food and had the vibe of a dive bar. The staff was super sweet. The french fries were my favorite. Perfectly crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. read more

Duffy's will always be a special place for me The place stole my heart... and I'll never be the same. Great people. Great vibes. Great place to meet people. Beautiful location. I love Lake George. And I love Duffy's -- Reina was here and she left her heart read more

Please get rid of that miserable woman at the bar. We came in as it indicated it was airing the US World Cup game. Every place we picked was a problem for her and what she indicated to be a fire hazard is not. The table is not in the immediate path of egress. She had a terrible disposition when we arrived. I guess too many customers is a challenge. Dump the baggage! read more

More classic rock than Irish music. Lots of inside seating and balcony seating. Live music. Mostly bar type food offerings. Not a wide range of craft beers on tap, but some local breweries offered, Sam Octoberfest, and main stream beers. Outstanding specialty cocktails. Place is jumping in season. Motorcycle exclusive parking up front. read more

Let me start off with this definitely a place you're eating at for a quick fix and wanting to drink. With that being said, the food was on par for a bar. We got the grilled chicken sandwich and a Rueben. They were both good for eating dinner at 9pm. Our waitress was very nice and checked on us as needed and the food was brought out fast. Duffy's has a few different floors and on Thursdays they have karaoke on one floor, we went to the top floor and there was a live singer. He was very good and we enjoyed our time there. FYI if you don't like loud music when eating dinner definitely sit downstairs for dinner and come up top for drinks after. There's a bar where you can just get drinks. Overall, not a bad place and not bad pricing for a few beers and 2 entrees. read more

On arrival to Lake George for a family vacation we decided to go to Duffy's for a late lunch. Folks have recommended it for the bar scene, but not the food, and they were right. Aside from the fact that three of things we ordered were not available, the service was just okay. I will say that the wings were really good and my husband did like the fried seafood. However, our bill was around $250 for four adults and two children which was insane for what we received. This place is not worth the money. If you want a great view and excellent food & service for about the same price (drinks included), check out the Boathouse. What a difference! I think this place is probably an awesome venue for beers and a view, but not much more. read more

It's fine for a bar that serves food. Cold beers and decent fried apps. Busy on a Tuesday night unlike most other places . Biggest issue: the 2 ladies behind the bar clearly don't like their jobs or want to be here. Dismissive, never a smile. Too bad.... read more

15 of us went there for dinner but had to sit at different t tables. Ok fine , but she WOULD NOT give each table their own check bc they "were too busy". Not too busy to put on the automatic 20% tip for terrible service . read more

So while on an afternoon ride to the Outlets in Lake George we decided to stop for an early dinner. As we drove through the Village we spotted Duffy's and decided to try it out. The place was clean and nicely decorated inside. You can also eat upstairs overlooking the Lake or downstairs inside. We chose inside this time. My wife ordered a Taco Salad and I ordered the Open Turkey sandwich which included fries and Cranberry sauce. The food came out hot and tasty. Service was also very good. A definite return visit is in order. read more

Used to live this place as it felt like a local dive - now? Sky high prices for mediocre food. Went tonight. Bartender was meh - no complaints but not really into her job I guess... I know inflation is hitting everyone BUT - 8 wings for $16.00? GTFOH! $17.00 for a Reuben? GTFOH Get an overpriced burger and pay $3.00 more for fries! What a freaking rip off! Ck out my puctures - 4 chicken tenders and fries $13.00... 1 small crock of chili - $10.00! (No crackers, bread, nothin!) They arent hurting that bad - they are taking advantage, just like the rest of the LG restaurants. Tourist trap... I been coming to LG for decades and have always ffrequented Duffys... this will be my final visit. RIP Duffy's... I will now travel outside LG to eat out... read more

The bartender on the first floor bar was the rudest and most obnoxious bartender I have ever met. There were 4 of us and we ordered a round and she ignored us for 5 minutes, when we asked again, with our empty bottles in front of us she responded with" you have to be more specific" then Proceeded to berate us. She did the same to the group net to us. I watched 10 people walk out in 1 min because of your bartender. Horrible. 1st floor bartender, dark hair and glasses. Lost u 10 to 14 customers on 2 min. read more

Duffys is a pretty cool place but we will rarely go here during the "high" season. Food is pretty good, view over the lake from the downstairs bar is nice, bartender is awesome. But at times it suffers terribly with the "Let's Go Brandon" crowd. Certainly not a reflection on the establishment, but still, who wants to sit next to that? read more

Duffy's is at a beautiful location near Lake George. There was no available public parking nearby so I ended up paying for parking at a meter. I came on a Sunday evening for dinner, and my party was seated immediately upon arrival. It took a while for our order to be taken and for the food to come; however, it was pretty crowded in the restaurant. I ordered the fish and chips here! The fries were nice and crispy, but the fish was disappointing. It wasn't super crispy and the fish didn't taste super fresh. Overall, this is a great restaurant for a large party and I would definitely come again if I was with a large group of people. read more

I think I'm officially done with visiting Lake George on my way to northern Adirondack adventures. The lake itself is just gorgeous, but the downtown area is deceptively seedy, with a lot of cheap souvenir stores and arcades that are more reminiscent of Seaside Heights than a bougie fall foliage destination. Every restaurant I've stopped at has left a lot to be desired, and Duffy's was unfortunately no exception. I stopped by for a quick/light lunch this past Saturday, probably around 2ish just as the lunch crowds were starting to thin out. Full disclosure - my options were a bit more limited given that the peak tourist season is now over, so it wasn't unusual to walk by a restaurant with a sign on the door indicating they were closed until next May. After a few other choices didn't pan out (several places were shuttering up for the day), I decided to duck in here. On the positive side, I was into the atmosphere. It's definitely more of a local dive, which is certainly not a knock on it. Every bar to an extent is going for a convivial, welcoming atmosphere, and I think Duffy's accomplishes that - everyone was very pleasant, and I got some good vibes from the other customers, many of whom were clearly familiar with one another. There was a sign right at the entrance instructing patrons to seat themselves at a table or the bar, and to wait for someone to take their orders. I selected a booth about 15 feet from the bar. It probably took A LITTLE too long for the waiter to notice/arrive; I'd say I was sitting there for about five minutes. Nothing egregious, but there were definitely a few employees who noticed me in that span and didn't take initiative to either come to the table or notifying someone else to. Also a pro - the waiter was very nice. Any of the issues I encountered beyond the slightly sluggish initial service were not attributable to him. He told me sheepishly that it was his very first day, but I thought he got off to a decent start. Good rapport. Since I knew I was having a bigger meal later, I decided to just go for the boneless garlic parmesan wings app (about $15). I'm not a huge wings person, but these were honestly pretty bad. You can see from the picture that they're literally served in almost a puddle of some buttery, greasy concoction, and I couldn't tell if that was an intentional presentation or not. Nonetheless, I soaked up the grease with the napkins for each piece. Even with that preemptive step, there were a few wings that were so saturated with grease that they mildly exploded with additional grease pockets when bitten into. Not appetizing. The price point seemed fine to me, given the number of wings. They were smaller wings for sure, but it was a decent serving for my purposes, and even though this is a dive bar, it's right in the middle of a notable tourist trap. A place like this could probably get away with charging $20 if they wanted to. But the quality didn't come close, which is disappointing. Tons of people in here seemed pleased as punch - most of them looked to be drinking something boozy (I was in the midst of a mini-road trip, so I stuck with water). I don't think I'd risk food here again, but the staff was nice enough where I might order a cocktail or something if I were willing to set foot in Lake George again. read more

If you arrive in town after 9 pm and are hungry, your likely only choice is Duffy. I was definitely hangry when I came into the bar due to it being a bar and kind of divey. However, I will say I was pleasantly surprised. Don't judge a book by it's cover - was my quote for the night. I ordered the fish and chips and it was very good. The waitress was so great, excellent customer service and great timing with food. Whoever the chef was in the kitchen didn't share any excellence in preparing our meal as it was the last ones of the night on a Sunday evening. Only downside was I ordered a margarita - was the disgusting. Lol. I don't like to use those words but it had no resemblance to a margarita or any derivative of one. It was just nasty, sea water and soda. Other than that, highly recommend when your in a bind. read more

Prices have gone up everywhere but here the prices do not match the quantity anymore. The dill chicken sandwich is good. The Philly cheesesteak was lacking meat. The fries that came with it were bigger than the sandwich! The Caesar salad despite the dressing being very delicious, the amount of lettuce for $12.95 was comical. Come on. We really do love Duffy's but if you're going to raise the prices $3-4 per item, you need to deliver and sadly we were disappointed. The entertainment specifically John E was our reason for coming. He is great. read more

Good spot for beers and wings. Worst fish and chips I've ever had (recommended by the server). Asked for tarter sauce twice, never came. The Duffy wings were really good. It's a watering hole. Two stars for that, food was pricey as well for the poor quality. I know everyone is doing their best post COVID but it wasn't terribly busy. Also whoever was running the music kept skipping songs at random points. Just a weird spot. If you're looking to slam a few beers it's decent. Eat somewhere else. read more

Due to the location we stopped here. Walking up the stairs to the 2nd floor and into the establishment smelt very bad and musty due to the old dirty carpet. As a small establishment like this you would expect to see the drink prices on the drink menu and prices were nowhere to be found. Once I asked the server, she estimated the price and didn't even know a clear answer on the drinks. I asked for a recommendation for the bone-in or boneless wings and I was told the bone-in. The wings came out extremely dry even with a garlic sauce and disappointing. In addition to this, we were two people and they put a 20% tip on our bill. Also, at the same time the sign outside says happy hour week days 4 PM to 7 PM and when we asked, they said they do not do a happy hour. With false advertising, okay service, and bad food, we will not be back. read more

We came to eat here since it was one of the few places open for dinning. we came in & were seated right in the booth in front area.

Main dish I went with a house Salad lots of greens, croutons & avocado the salad was good with a vinaigrette dressing. Hubby had a Steak sandwich with fries not bad. Decent size place, service was good & prices were not bad. read more
