Ordered take out from this establishment on a Friday night. I googled, and found their website then proceeded to go off the menu provided on the website. PRICES ARE WRONG. If you choose to order from here based off of the menu online add about $2.95 to the online menu price and that is what you will pay. The boneless wings tasted like they could have been from Applebee's. Linda's Special/Favorite is good. Do not order a burger. Half was well done, the other half rare (quite pink). I ordered a medium well bacon cheeseburger. When you arrive to pick up your order and ask about the pricing be prepared to be given an attitude from the woman behind the bar, with her only explanation being the website hasn't been updated in a while. They are also one of the few establishments in Lake George to not do a military discount. The love music is mediocre as well, better off checking out Neptune's. read more

Loved it! It was extremely busy on Labor Day weekend. The staff was very attentive and nice. I got served after waiting a little bit but that is to be expected The place was packed. We went back the next day and got food it was delicious! The musicians were great everybody was singing. Just amazing love the place and we went back on the third day also. Duffys was actually the only place we went to all weekend because we liked it so much! Thank you for a really enjoyable time! Will definitely be back there next time we visit Lake George! read more

First time here and this looked like my kind of bar... and it was. My girlfriend and I decided to check it out. The atmosphere was cool. We went up to the upper deck and the live music was good. Great list of songs and a good show. The food and service were disappointing. The waitress looked like it was a chore to take our order. My burger was over cooked and fries a little underdone. My girlfriends burger was overcooked (well) and wrong cheese put on it, while the lettuce, onion and tomato were missing. Also when we asked for Ranch they brought Blue Cheese. The only saving grace was the curly fries and the BBQ sauce were good. Doubt we'll be going back. read more

I am sorry to give them a star. We went there with my friend and her kids. The bill came to 222. My Ruben was actually bad... The meat had turned and they served it anyway. The meal was shit, and the wait staff was lax and dirty. I'm sorry I didn't look up reviews before we entered. Shame on them. They shouldn't be open. read more

I think this restaurant has got a lot of people who don't believe in the fact that the mask actually works people are sitting around the bar and they don't even know each other and no one's wearing a mask which is really sad It is a hazard. Wear a fucking mask read more

Great little bar perfect view great drink selection staff is amazing open pretty late to which was perfect we ended up getting dinner at like 10:45 at night and it was perfect. The only downside was that the food was a little bit pricey for barfood but I get that you pay that because of the view and the live music. read more

Please do not eat here EVER. Nice view though I have made better things in my microwave, that I have dug out of the bottom of my freezer. Bartender also did not know the difference between a lager or IPA read more

Atmosphere is typical for a local hangout. Food was good and was diverse. Locations was east to get to for lunch and has parking while you are in the restaurant. Speaker system is very loud for lunch and had lots of static and signal issues. Food came out hot from the kitchen but waitress was very busy as she seemed to be the only one waiting tables. read more

Food was decent but the service absolutely sucked. Waitress was very inattentive and for good reason. The tip is already added on the bill. Which would be ok if it was stated somewhere, it wasn't on the menu, posted or even told to us by the waitress. there was 4 adults and 3 kids, why should she be good getting 20% added to the bill automatically. This is illegal, if stated but it wasn't anywhere listed. STAY AWAY unless you like horrendous service read more

Nice atmosphere but food wasn't anything to brag about. Clams were over breaded and over cooked but hey fries were good! Waitress was very nice and prompt aswell. read more

There are multiple seating areas as well as multi-level to chose from. Always find live music here! Typical pub grub with some Irish fare. Waitstaff was friendly, didn't always remember things; but I'm sure it was just the individual. Beer selection is lacking. If you're on the deck you'll have can's of beer and or plastic glasses. read more

DISGUSTING FOOD!!!! Never will go here again. I honestly don't even think they deserve one star. I ordered spinach and artichoke dip which came to our table ice cold and watered down and no flavor. Calamari was the worst I ever had, it didn't even seem like it was fried, it was mushy and cold. Waitress was snotty and never even checked on us. We never ate here before and never will again. You live and you learn. Definitely never again. read more

Great location. We go to Americade and meet up with our friends here for a couple of drinks and a quick bite to eat. Good prices and decent food. Loved the fact that we got seats on the balcony and watched all the motorcycles and listened to the band play. read more

Jameson is the greatest bartender ever! He is amazing and has great stories!! Had a great time ! read more

First time I went was at a four-the second I'd have to give two stars. Chicken tenders were quite-sinewy. And they do leave you standing in the door waiting on someone to either seat you or tell you to seat yourself. It's quite awkward! I had a steak and cheese and it had an alarming aftertaste I couldn't place. I did eat half of it (it was huge) but I didn't want to take it home. The atmosphere is nice for casual. Lots of big fans and windows. It's ok in a pinch. read more

We visited this establishment today while attending a function in Lake George and walking around town. This place has so much potential. Great location and a decent size. Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed with the menu. Starting with the ACTUAL menu... The menus were dirty and stained. The selection wasn't great but I guess what do you expect from an off season bar? So I played it "safe" and ordered nachos with the meat on the side. The nachos were served in a plastic basket lined with wax paper, usually reserved for fries or burgers or something. The cheese was melted over stale dollar store types of tortilla chips and the cheese had melted into a HARD mass so that I could barely extract a chip from the petrfied pile on the plate without catapulting all of the lettuce across the table. The cheese had also adhered to the wax paper, so I had to carefully pry each chip off the paper, which resulted in rock-hard, broken chip/cheese pieces. It looked like they melted the cheese in the microwave rather than the oven, given the plastic/wax paper combo. The only good things were that the v waitress was nice and they did remember to top with onions, tomatoes and lettuce. Disappointed and, unfortunately, still hungry. Will not be back. read more

Sean is the best waiter and bartender at this establishment. If you are looking for something to do in Lake George I highly recommend coming to Duffy's. I wish I could rate higher, just for Sean's fantastic service. read more

Looking for some place for lunch, during the off season.Found this place. Not many people in the bar. the ones there were friendly though. food was hot, and tasty. I am one to notice many things. the people coming to this bar must get lucky a lot. There was a condom machine in the hallway next to the woman's bathroom, another one in the woman's bathroom, and another one in the men's bathroom. Talk about safe sex. Might wanna keep the kid's out of this place. read more

We came here for the live music. It was a beautiful day and sat on the top deck. The views and music were amazing. The 1 Star is for service. We sat at a table for over 10 minutes and realized that no one was coming to wait on us. My husband went to the bar and got our drinks. The bartender rates a 4 Star at the least. The table next to us was being served. We tried several times to flag down that waitress and she deliberately ignored us. We left the following note: read more

Duffy's Tavern - Bars Near Me - Lake George, New York

I hate leaving bad reviews because it is very subjective and people, I believe, do try their best. This place was blatantly bad. First, it took 25 minutes just to get drinks (and we had a very patient/ quiet child). The server took our order at the same time we placed our drink order. We ordered poutine as an appetizer then our meals. Over 45 min later, our food comes- no appetizer. I ordered a chicken sandwich, which was very obviously not fresh (safe even comes to mind) as it was like rubber. I waited for our server to come back so I could remind her that we ordered poutine- too late. We didn't even begin eating and she already brought the check. I went to the bar and politely mentioned that it was okay, I am sure she's busy but we would like to add it (again). What they brought was deplorable. It was french fry soup with a chopped up cheese stick dropped on it! I just could not...... They brought us Chardonnay, instead of Pinot Grigio, forgot the poutine- then delivered hot garbage, the chicken was bad, and the kids mac n cheese was so dry, I could've blown the powdered cheese right off of it. I really would like to find a silver lining here but even the server wouldn't make eye contact. It was just horrific, in terms of any dining establishment in any upstate NY restaurant. read more

Turrible. Came for lunch on Saturday just two of us, took 2 1/2 hours from start to finish. What a waste of a beautiful day. They had like 1 server for the entire upstairs. Dumb. read more

The worst food in lake George and that's saying something....everything tasted like motor oil and the beers only come around on the 20's

This place has the rudest bartenders and staff I've ever encountered in my life. They refused to get a juice for a diabetic customer stating that they had other customers to serve and it's not their problem. Furthermore, they kicked patrons out of the bar that were in no way acting disrespectful. I will never ever set foot in this establishment ever again. read more

Don't be fooled by the Irish flags flying proudly outside. There is nothing warm or welcoming about this place especially the staff. The older ladies in the Deli in particular were hostile, rude and unhelpful. There are plenty of other options in this lovely town. I suggest using them and stay clear of this over priced unfriendly gossip den. read more

Went in bar downstairs was told by purple haired bartender to seat self upstairs waited for 15 minutes upstairs never had service. Walked out. Watched 4 other people walk with same issue. They must loose so much business read more

I ate wings with my family yesterday. Luckily I was the only one because I got severe food poisoning from the food and I cannot stop throwing up. Never coming back. read more

Not bad for bar food. Atmosphere is good. Location is easy to get to. Waitress was friendly and fun. Nice little place to visit.

My husband ate here. We sat at the bar and loved every minute of it. We each had a burger which were very good. Our waitress and all the staff were friendly and we laughed the whole time we were there. We drank beer which was served in chilled glasses. We would definitley go back there! read more

RACIST. Intended on going there 9/6/20 during the holiday weekend. We called ahead around 9 pm to make sure they would be open & we could get in. We were told over the phone to make sure to be there before 11pm prior to the kitchen closing to be able to get in. We arrived plenty of time prior to 11pm, instantly denied at the front by an older man in a hoodie & shorts being told they were done for the night meanwhile we saw & heard plenty of people and music still in the establishment. As we went back to our SUV parked in-front, we saw a group of Caucasian men going up to the same man and was allowed in. Rude racist Duffy's. read more

The place is a little run down and the menu is not the best. However, food comes out quick and prices are good. If you want a very good meal, then Duffy's Tavern is probably not your first choice. But it is a quick choice. read more

Sean the bar tender was great and pleasant but the old man who works there every night (owner maybe?) needs an attitude check because he is losing business for Duffy's with his nasty comments and overall unfriendly demeanor. read more

Food was good would like to eat there again. But our waitress was very rude and you knew she was miserable. Having a good waitress always helps make the experience ten times better and having a rude waitress makes it ten times worse. read more

Our favorite place for lunch during Americade. And the view from the deck is awesome. read more

See all

The old bouncer with the 1970s haircut need to re-evaluate his age and act it. I went there tonight with my younger sister and my cousin. Me and my younger sister were in there just the night before and was served with no problems at all, whatsoever. We come again tonight with my cousin because all of our family was in there already and we had come to meet with them here. So we walk up to the entrance of the bar and this bouncer literally stopped us and made us wait as other people were walking in (mind you without being ID'ed) and requested that all of us show ID. With all of us being of age, that wasn't a problem at all except my cousin just so happened to not have his ID on him. After his request for all of us to show ID, I had accidentally dropped mine on the ground and I noticed that when I did, he wanted to chuckle and laugh about it. Right off the bat, he was acting immature just by doing that. So this bouncer didn't want to let my cousin in because he didn't have ID which was understandable. He simply could have said, "I'm sorry but we don't allow anyone in who doesn't have ID" but instead he wanted to stand there and laugh at us. Meanwhile he allowed what looked like a bunch of underage girls in after us without asking them for ID. This bouncer continued to taunt me after I had called my relative that was already in the bar that he wouldn't let us in and he wanted to stick his middle finger up at me and say that I wouldn't be welcome back there anyway... not that I plan on ever wanting to go to that dump hole again Plenty of other bars on the strip that I'm sure has workers who know how to act. Will never step foot in this place again..... explains a lot why this bar has not even 3 stars. read more

My wife and I went to Duffy's two Sunday's ago for some lunch. The people who work there do not care about anything. Asked for a bloody Mary, extra hot and waitress said "sure". Bloody Mary arrived, not a drop of heat, no Tabasco, no horseradish, nothing. Added tabasco myself. The wife asked the waitress for the beer cheese and chips as an appetizer and again, "sure". She then came back a few minutes later for our order without our appetizer and we both ordered the fried clams. Less than five minutes later she came back with all of our food. I guess the word "appetizer" has a different meaning at Duffy's. The clams were the cheapest version of fried clams I have ever had. AWFUL! Now to top this off, as we were eating, the musician started to play in the corner of the bar. A couple came in and sat at the table directly in front of the musician. A lady, I assume either the manager or owner came over to the couple and reprimanded the lady for sitting so close to the musician. She complained that ''they could come in and shut her down." The lady moved to the other side of the table next to her companion and now the owner/manager decides to harass them. Moving far enough away was not good enough for this lady. She now asks the couple if they are together. Obviously compliance wasn't her objective. Harassment was. The couple did nothing wrong. If she was so concerned about the 6 foot rule, she should have moved the chairs or roped off the table. It is up to the establishment to create the safe environment for customers so that they remain in compliance with the state. You do not yell at customers. Overall, this place should be out of business as they don't care about the customers in any way, and the employees can act as they wish. There are so many good bars and restaurants struggling who care about the quality of their food and service. Please, if you read this, stay away from this place and spend your money at an establishment that appreciates you. read more

The food was mediocre at best and the service and staff were terrible. My husband and I walked in the front door and there was no greeter. We had someone from the bar yell over to us to tell us to sit wherever we wanted. There were also several people behind us waiting to be seated as well. We only saw our waitress approximately three times, once to take a drink order, once to order our food, and one more to bring us our food. After that she disappeared. We had to go hunting for our check afterwards. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad which came with no Caesar dressing. When we went to go ask for dressing, and we were spoken to rudely by the staff. Later on when we went to go get our check, we were once again ignored by the staff about getting our check. We were told that our waitress was moved upstairs, as if it was our fault. read more

Greetings! I'm writing this review as I hug the porcelain in between vomiting. We ordered a passionate screw and ended up being ass raped by the waitress. The burger was bland and mostly bun. They add .50 to the price for lettuce, tomato and onion. They won't split the check for parties over 6 people so the waitress has to TRY and use her elementary math skills to figure out everyone's total. Considering we are in the 21st century she could very easily use the Point of service system to figure it out but it's against their "policy." Ole Dirty Mike and the boys wouldn't even consider using this place as a fuck shack. So only check this place out if you're a biker from the trailer park a few miles away. read more

This place grabbed our attention with live music and nice sign outside. Well the food was ok, and the service was so bad we were going to walk out. But the bouncer said let me look into it. I was out if the food didn't come we waited over an hour. We came from Ca. This place would not last in long beach. How does this place stay in business!!!! Stay away! read more

Nice bar at a great location. Bartender was very attentive. Duffs sauce wings was great.

Won't be coming back and I will advise against anyone coming here. If you are from out of town be prepared to deal condescending, ugly wait staff. Bartenders were rude and we were completely ignored once we sat down at a table. A waste of time and money. read more
