    Spirited R.

    As our final day in the Finger Lakes began, we decided to kick things off with a brewery stop--and what better place than Lucky Hare Brewery? We had been meaning to check this place out for a while, and today was finally the day. With its laid-back atmosphere, welcoming vibe, and a great selection of beers, it turned out to be an excellent choice to start the day. The Tasting Lineup I opted to sample a few different brews, each bringing something unique to the table: 1 Bad Rabbit Pilsner (4.5% ABV) - A classic, crisp, and refreshing pilsner. It had clean malt character, light floral hop notes, and a super smooth finish--perfect for those who appreciate an easy-drinking, no-fuss beer. Sometimes, simple is best, and this one nailed it. 2 Zealander New England IPA (6.6% ABV) - This one stood out immediately. Bursting with juicy, tropical fruit flavors, the Zealander delivered bright citrus, hints of pineapple, and a smooth, pillowy mouthfeel. It struck the perfect balance between hazy and hoppy, making it a deliciously drinkable NEIPA. 3 Live Action IPA (6.8% ABV) - A well-executed, classic IPA that offered a bold hop presence without being overpowering. It had a balanced mix of citrus, pine, and slight bitterness, making it a great option for both IPA enthusiasts and those new to hop-forward beers. While all three were solid choices, I ultimately went with the Zealander New England IPA for my full pour--because when a beer hits all the right notes, you just have to commit. Atmosphere & Final Thoughts Beyond the great beer, Lucky Hare Brewery had an awesome vibe. The staff was friendly, the space was inviting, and it had that perfect small-town craft brewery feel that makes you want to kick back, stay a while, and try even more of their lineup. It's safe to say that Lucky Hare lived up to the hype, and I'd definitely love to return on a warmer day to hang out on their patio, soak in the scenery, and enjoy another round. If you find yourself in the Finger Lakes region and appreciate well-crafted beer, this is a must-visit spot. A great way to start our final day--cheers!

    Very nice brewery with a solid beer selection. I really enjoyed my strawberry wheat and hubby likes their English ale and IPA. Nice relaxing atmosphere, kid and pet friendly. They also have an ordering window for burgers and fries (Babe's burger). Burgers are not cheap ($15-$18, doesn't come with fries, need to be ordered separately) but are tasty and made fresh. They also have board games you can sit and play. We love visiting here when we are in the area.

    Awesome brewery with fantastic views. Laid back vibe with a knowledgeable bartender. Great selection and all 4 of the beers on the flight were top notch and as described. Burgers that are a separate entity on site were tasty. Sweet potato fries are not to be missed. Two thumbs up.

    Large fries with ketchup and babe sauce from Babe's Burgers. Definitely order them! They were amazing.

    Favorite FLX brewery! The beer is always delicious and the view is great. We rotate between sitting inside and throwing a frisbee outside. They are always very friendly, especially to our dog. The owner, Ian, is an Eagles fan and talk to us on our first visit years ago. We've come back every year since on our anniversary trip.

    The view from Watkins!

    The new location in Watkins Glen is amazing! The service, food and ambience were all A+. Curtis and Gwen were top notch. It was so good, we had to come back twice during our visit! Must go here when in Watkins Glen. We are long time customers of the Hector location which is also fabulous and has Babe's burger...my fave burger!! Watkins location offers a different menu that is really good. But I do love a Babe's burger! The cocktails in Watkins are phenomenal. You can't go wrong with either location!

    Great range of beer flavors. Food was very good and very large portions! Worth the stop. Ate on the deck watching the sunset over the lake.

    Great fall ale, fall Moscow Mule. Burgers and sweet potato fries are delicious. Wonderful scenery.

    Great place, great people, beer, cornhole, food, fun all with a beautiful view of the lake. Love the logo and the fun part is the names of the craft beer with clues in the bottom of the can

    Didn't eat while we were here, but it smelled great!

    Almost didn't stop here because it was a bit out of the way that we were going, but I'm glad we did! It was nicely busy, and has great views of the lake from the back covered/enclosed patio. The food smelled good too!

    Really cool spot to visit in the Finger Lakes region! We actually stopped here since they were one of the only places opened late, and we are so glad we did. They have a great selection of different types of beer, something for everyone. The service was great, the gentleman behind the bar was very informative and friendly. He was even able to give us some great suggestions of other places to visit on our trip. Social distancing was properly enforced, and everyone was required to wear a mask. They have growlers if you'd like to take some beer to go, and a few selections of to-go cans. Definitely a great place to stop by if you are in the area.

    Late Sunday afternoon, drove over to this unassuming brewery which looks like a re-purposed home. Tight parking off on the road, but overall picturesque area. Despite the taproom being cramped, was a welcome sight to see the furry friends walking around. Had two beers: the Falcon Punch ($6) - a hazy balanced IPA and the Milk Milk ($5) - a more crisp dark beer. Had some pretzels to go along with the brews and was able to secure one of the few tables in the room. Definitely would be more spacious here in the warmer months, but overall a good low-key brewery.

Very unique cocktails! My first visit, I tried the ruby slipper, braulio sour, and the mango lassi. The mango lassi is incredible! It is my favorite drink at Argos! The ruby slipper and braulio sour were also quite tasty but I preferred the ruby slipper a tad more. My second visit, I tried the grapefruit soda (not artificial tasting at all), the Shark Juice (tasted a bit too much like cologne, wasn't a fan), and the Gigi (couldn't taste the hojicha, liked the concept more than the execution). I would get the Gigi again, but would pass on the Shark Juice. Sitting inside, I enjoyed the quieter and calmer atmosphere as well as the soft lighting. The interior decor is very cosy and slightly eclectic. I came with a friend on a weekday evening and it was pretty empty which was nice. The outdoor patio space is very nice- I like the lanterns on the walls and the whole space is quite charming. I left with a few mosquito bites though. Overall, I would recommend Argos Inn!

We stumbled in and learned they had just opened like a week prior - amazing timing for us! While it would have been cool to see the actual winery, this location was so convenient for us, and it was great to be able to cash in our coupons here. The space, as mentioned, was brand new and beautiful. I loved the exposed brick near and around the bar, and the quasi stained glass lighting was a unique touch. The wine bar is accompanied by a small shop where you can not only purchase wine but also buy locally made goods and a "make your own bouquet" area! A wonderful touch. We sat at the bar to enjoy a few tastings, and we were served by the owner (love when owners actually interact with customers and play the role of servers!). We enjoyed learning his story (originally from near Philly, so an automatic connection), hearing about this new location (they are planning to have a few hotel rooms above the wine bar), and sampling a variety of their wines. We also struck up conversations with some other guests at the bar, learning about their stories and getting their recommendations on places in the area. The wine was solid, too - a great variety to choose from, although the actually winery likely has more options to select. We particularly liked the cab sav / cab franc blend and the chardonnay (usually not a chard fan, but theirs was a great take on it with like 0% butter flavor). As most places in the FLX region, the wine was great but it was truly the hospitality and conversations that made this a memorable experience. We would love to visit the actual winery and try other varietals on our next visit, and we would also love to stay at the soon-to-be hotel rooms at this wine bar! Thanks for a great pre-boat drink and conversation, JR Dill!
