It's one of those weekends where you get to step into your kid's world a bit and actually see why they love it here. Bars and restaurants were lively but manageable, people were friendly, and it had that perfect mix of college fun and family atmosphere. Definitely a weekend worth making the trip for... we'll be back.

This was our first time to The Nest. We were interested in checking out their outdoor concert…read morearea. We arrived just as a local band was getting ready for a three hour set (4-7pm) on a Sunday afternoon. Cover charge was $5.00 each. There were quite a few people there, but there was still room to sit in the spacious outdoor deck/stage area. There's also an outside bar area to grab a drink, instead of having to run inside to the regular bar. Food was available, but we did not try anything. The indoor vathrooms were pretty small, but served the purpose. The music was very good, the sound was loud enough, without blaring out of the speakers. There's a roof over the outside deck, but it's in different sections, so the sun does shine though in areas, making it a little hot when it's hitting you. Our only complaint would be the amount of people that were smoking. There is no way to get away from the cigarette smoke wafting in your face. Other than that, it seems like a great venue to enjoy some live music, a drink and a bite to eat. We definitely plan on going back.

My boyfriend and I stumbled into this bar on a whim, and were pleasantly surprised! Steve, our…read morebartender, was excellent! He introduced us to "bar bowling" and even bought our first game! The Gable Inn is definitely a low key type of bar, but the conversation, and atmosphere made us feel as though we had been going there for far longer than the few short and awesome hours we spent there. If you're in town I would definitely hit it up for some drinking and the most addicting bar game of all time.

Lots of hype for this unknown Hot Spot in Skaneateles Falls, so decided to give the Red Rooster Pub…read morea try. The place is a pub style atmosphere - nice bar area with both booth and table seating. Wings- The Ten Meaty wings with their Jerk Sauce were very good. Nice and crispy. Sandwiches - LE COQ CORDON BLEU Grilled chicken or fried - w/ fries were good. Horsey Burger - horsey-beet mayo, cheese, bacon and topped with pickle fries and regular fries was also good. KOREAN BBQ CRUNCHY CHICKEN SANDWICH - Fried was OK, a little bit spicy New - Breaded or grilled chicken with a waffle with Hot BEE STING HONEY . Grilled chicken was very good, bee sauce excellent with a bit of a sting. Waffle fries worth the trip. Extra Yummy. I would return - Nice craft beer selection - Service by Dave and team was very good, friendly and he asked for feedback - i.e. checking on us was appreciated. If in the Syracuse & surrounding areas worth a drive. We drove about an hour. Would like to try some of their other offerings next time we are in the area.

I have been a frequent visitor of the pug since the days of the beginning and over my time as a…read moreconsumer, client and advocate for the "craft"; I have seen many things and shared many beverages with friends and with friends I made in the process. From the days of when the Pug was the anchor tenant at the Genesee Street Mall and the covert operations that I partook in with the orange sunglasses as missions to the "escape rooms" were performed many times. To the times when a "mythical creature" would enter the establishment and destroy bottles of Firestone Walker because the devil gave his instructions. Those were the early stages of what was to become, as time passed the opportunity for a more sophisticated establishment and location was next on the agenda. With timeless dedication and artisanal craftsmanship, a constructed bar top was made with game forged divots to provide accuracy when glasses slide across the tabletop. Trust me I know, I had a miscommunication with Mike and slide an empty glass across the bar and we both watched in delight as the speed and straightness of it smashed and made a huge mess. I still think he charged me for the glass...lol Anyhow, the new place provided more space for hangout, taps, food service and retail purchases of products and became more of a steady downtown business for patrons of all types. The beer selection has been phenomenal since day one, introducing libations of all kinds to me and all the patrons. I have learned what I like (8% DIPAS) and which types are not my favorite. The pug also brought an array of food to pare with the beers on tap, that's what I was told, Brisket, Smoked Beef/Wings, Cheady Tots and Pizza or they were creations Mike made the night before and wanted to share aka experiments for the Food Truck. They have the cleanest facilities in Auburn as floors go, spending time on the floor by accident is a hobby of mine I know. I also have experienced the worst customer service from my "limited" time or the times when the party was going on but not for Jeff anymore...lol Those are two of the trademarks that the Thirsty Pug is known for, but there are many more that make this place. The camaraderie of the staff and customers is second to none, if you are a fan of craft beer and a good time, this is a place to checkout and then you might just become a regular who can never leave.

Great little bottle store in the tiny strip mall building. There's a huge selection of bottles…read morebeers to pick from. There are only a few beers on tap here -- 9 when I last went. My favorite thing is that I can get a flight of all the beers, allowing me to try all the beers available. It was only $20-25 for the flight of 9 beers. These were the beers we got this time: Steuben 4.9% NY Pilsner Crooked stave - sour rose - 4.5% Oaked sour with blueberry raspberry Tilquin- Gueuze - 5.3% lambic Sloop - DDG Downunder bomb - 6.5% IPA Steuben - Pedersen Valley 6% IPA Foreign objects - Dreamtime Haruspex 8% DIPA Steuben Schwarzbier 4.9% - Black Lager High water - campfire stout 6.5% s'more stout Gun hill - barrel aged void of light 8.7% Our favs were foreign objects Dreamtime haruspex and high water campfire stout. I've been here a few times and the same guy usually works here. He's a quiet guy, not the friendliest, but not the worst. He seems like a pretty nice guy once you initiate conversation with him. Otherwise, he probably won't initiate conversation with you. I absolutely adore pugs so I was so excited that there was a pug themed beer place! I come back every time I visit Auburn. Maybe it's because of the pugs, maybe it's the beer. Either way, definitely a place to check out -- especially if you love pugs! Lots of great pug decor.

Heads up: they're cash only. We went for Thursday night…read moretaco night but they ran out of tacos before we got there. We heard that typically they will only serve their special each night, but they got other food out for us since they ran out of tacos. It was basic bar food. The mozzarella sticks were not done enough. The fries were quite good. There are two pool tables and at least 5 dart boards. The women's restroom is very strange. There are no doors on the stalls so you have to lock the main door.

No available employees, dirty tables galore and a bartender who would not make eye contact. We attempted to find a place to sit for several minutes while catching up on the SU football game. Then we left and went across the street to a much more hospitable spot where we were treated nicely and stayed for drinks and food. I don't think I will give this place another try unless I were very desperate.

After a day out on the boat, three friends and I walked in expecting a decent meal. Instead, we were met with pure hostilty from the moment we crossed the threshold--all because one of my buddies, a veteran, had his legitimate service dog with him. The utter lack of respect from the staff, including the manager and bartenders, was unacceptable. They made it blatantly obvious that we were unwelcome, treating us like a hassle rather than paying customers. The staff's tone was nasty, condescending, and completely unprovoked. To disrespect anyone this way is bad enough, but to act with such blatant disdain toward a veteran with a service dog is disgraceful. Do not waste your time or money on an establishment that treats people with such contempt. Take your business anywhere else.
