We stopped here just for a beer after dinner while in town. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had live music that evening and the singer was a funny dude.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoyed our time there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's definitely worth a stop.

Me and my parents were in town for the day and trying to find a quick bite for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She even brought a bowl of water out for him. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was typical bar food and had the vibe of a dive bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was super sweet. The french fries were my favorite. Perfectly crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside.

Potato skins

[[HIGHLIGHT]]More classic rock than Irish music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of inside seating and balcony seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is jumping in season.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Motorcycle exclusive parking up front.

Chilli

The wait staff was nice too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the atmosphere very chill![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also you can bet on Horses too!!!

Food was amazing, the sweet potato fries we're my favourite, it's a very good place to visit if you're on a trip to somewhere like Canada or maybe somewhere else

Grilled chicken sandwich and Reuben
Bri H.

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.

Duffy's is an old staple in town, can't go to LG without stopping in for a cold beer, [[HIGHLIGHT]]three bars and entertainment daily, staff is always on point and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

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.

McDonalds style Honey Mustard...you need to do better Duffys!

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...

Came in for dinner on a Monday evening, sort of off season. There were only a couple of others in…read morerestaurant, and we were seated promptly. There are dart boards and shuffleboard table, which were not in use. Our server was attentive and friendly, as were other staff we interacted with. Beer menu is extensive as you would imagine from the name, and they also have a separate cocktail menu (but we did try). Food was very good. I had The Cask. As long as you like goat cheese, you should like this sandwich. I loved it. Other meals included the pulled pork sandwich and Reuben. All were good. The order of garlic and rosemary fries are very crispy - good for snack or just pair with some beers. Overall, decent place and service. I would return!

Lake George, NY - with 16 craft beer selections on tap plus an extensive list of bottles and cans…read more(many niche labels I've never heard of), this is the spot to hit up if you like beers. We stumbled in for a late bite on a quiet winter carnival weekend and there were only a handful of patrons, mostly locals sitting at the bar. The bartender (and our server) Edward was friendly and kept an eye on us and made sure we had what we needed. The food is solidly average pub fare, not bad and perfectly serviceable, but it shouldn't be your primary objective if you're a foodie hunter like me. But on a main drag littered mostly with mediocre bar-restaurants charging tourist prices for tourist indifference, I'll take "just fine" as a win. I'm not much of a drinker but my husband liked his can of Copper Legend lager so much that he ordered another one to go. The location is conveniently central especially if you're staying on Canada St. or doing activities at the lake.

Both of my experiences are extremely different. My first time here I came for dinner with a group of friends and we had a phenomenal experience with our waitress Sue. She had great table side manors, she was efficient, and she was so nice and pleasant to speak with. The food was amazing I had a grilled chicken sandwich- my only complaint is that the avocado tasted weird but I just removed it from my sandwich. My friends enjoyed their hot dog meal, pizza, & nachos. We had a wonderful experience and loved our waitress sue so we decided to come back the following day. Our second day here we came for lunch and had a waitress named Jess. She was absolutely horrible and had no table side manors and was extremely rude and bothered to be working with us. I feel she was also racist or judgmental towards her co workers. I asked for the bacon cheeseburger with no onion tomato lettuce, & her response was, "so you want a plain cheeseburger?" & she looked at me like I asked a crazy question. I responded saying well I want the bacon on it so a bacon cheeseburger. My friend, wanted a plain burger with only lettuce and onion, & Jess said," so you want a plain burger with everything on it?" I'm not sure how much more clear we could have spoken to our waitress. She was very nasty. She also made a comment that the cooks are Spanish and she has no idea how she will translate our orders to the cooks. That is not the customers problem or concern and should not have been said to us. Jess never checked in at our table to see if we needed refills, napkins, etc. We needed a refill on drinks, so we found a waitress nearby and were asking for assistance. Jess saw this and came running over & said, " she has no idea what you're saying she doesn't speak English." & she then proceeded to get our drinks. I couldn't believe my ears, how incredibly rude was that comment. Her comment felt very judgmental and rude. She had no class whatsoever. At the end of our meal she came over to us and told us the dollar amount of our bill and walked away. We had to ask for a receipt. Absolutely ridiculous. If I ever came back to this place I want Sue as my waitress!!!! Thank you Sue for your over the top service and friendliness!!!! Also fyi**** 18% tip is automatically included in your bill.

We were pleasantly surprised with both the high food quality and friendly, efficient service. Seated outside at a comfortable table we shared an excellent crab cake with our cocktails. The 'Lake George Punch', was very nice. Our server, Jack, was on his game & could give lessons on on unobtrusive high quality table service with a smile and some pleasant conversation. The pulled chicken tacos and crab stuffed haddock were both excellent! Flavor, texture, doneness all top notch. We were caught up in the details of sauces, rice, and wonderful harcort verts (can't just call them a side of green beans). Unexpected in a hotel restaurant in a touristy area. All in all, with the July evening breeze blowing off the lake, a slice of lake view, and the bustling fellow visitors putting on a show just for us.... It was a very nice experience.

Early into my LG visit, I tried another restaurants 'Award Winning' Chipotle Bacon Wings. After trying Charlie's (very unique!) Raspberry Habanero wings, I recommend that the Award Committee reconsider the award recipient to Charlie's!! Unique, delicious, with a kick. Couldn't stop thinking of them! The Calamari, Flat Iron Steak, and Tenderloin Tips + Gnocchi were also really good, but the wings were the star for me. Service was great as well, and they were able to answer all the questions I had (sorry for being so annoying - promise I'm not that picky!!) Highly recommend, even if it's just for the wings! Although it's not needed, Good luck Charlie's!!
