Tin 'n' Lint feels familiar…read more It's bursting with character, old charm, and of course lots of charming characters. As one of the oldest operating bars in Saratoga Springs, it has been around since the 70's. Apparently many musical greats used to hang out here after gigs. If you skim through some of the Yelp reviews of Tin 'n' Lint - you'll find accounts of those that used to patronize this spot back in the day. It's obviously done something right throughout the years. Today it's a welcoming spot for local regulars and passerbys. It is a simple straightforward bar that isn't trying to be anything that it's not. The booths and tables are etched with names and memories. The walls are lined with old photos. It's brimming with historical captures of fond happy times - and of people coming together. Tin 'n' Lint proved to be a ideal spot for catching up with some of my husband's friends from the area a number of weeks back. Snagging a spacious booth was easy and there was never a wait to order drinks. The jukebox would intermittently play a diverse array of tunes throughout our time here, and we watched a number of people playing pool. I appreciated that this cozy spot was well lit - allowing for solid people watching and enabling you to easily catch up with friends and/or potentially make new ones. Be prepared to encounter a number of interesting attendees during your time here. We ended up meeting quite a few during our time here. Also be sure to bring cash - since it is cash only. If you want a non pretentious bar with history and regulars - Tin 'n' Lint is your spot. Trust.

We came when it was still relatively empty so there were no issues in getting a table for a large group of us. Drinks were good and reasonably priced - they also came out fast.

You get a little bit of everything here: dancing, indoor and outdoor bar and lounge seating, food, and even live music many nights. I recommend this to so many people. They always take care of their patrons which can't always be said about a lot of places downtown. Alex, and the rest of the staff. So incredibly friendly and on top of everything.

Ambiance: 1000/10! This Christmas bar in Upstate NY is pure magic (and yes, they decorate for other…read moreholidays too!). Twinkling lights from the ceiling, cozy festive vibes, and dreamy Christmas tunes set the perfect scene. Drinks: The cocktail menu is festive and strong! We tried the Noggin Duuuuude and Polar Express-o Martini, and the Sugar Cookie Collins is apparently a crowd favorite. Service: Our bartender was super friendly... fun chats while crafting our drinks made the experience even better. Price: Typical for a specialty cocktail bar, $14-$20 per drink. Parking: Use nearby Saratoga parking lots. Tips: Arrive early! We got there at 4:50 (opens at 5) and the line was already out the door. The space inside is cozy, so getting a spot early is key.

As one of the smallest bars, it can get crowded and loud but there are ample stools and it's just a vibe! The line for drinks moves super quick and the baristas are so nice too. They also offer some fun merch like hats and sweatshirts if you're visiting Saratoga Springs too. Highly recommend!

I immediately noticed that not only do they have an extensive cocktail list but they also have a ton of local and regional beer offerings too. It's a nice spot for those who want beer, cocktails or wine. I ordered the Revolutionary Sour from their cocktail menu and it was really good. The mixture of rum, ginger beer and lemon was perfect. The ambiance was like being at a local pub. Everyone was friendly! They sell their liquor as well as supplies to make craft cocktails at home, including bittersweet, syrups and more. Highly recommend!

A big part of their food menu was hotdogs. This worked out well because we happened to be in the mood for hotdogs. The hotdogs were cute and small- we got the Coney Island ones, with chili and onion. We also got a side Caesar that paired well with them. In contrast to the other places open that late Bibulous was not too loud- you could comfortably carry on a conversation- and had super attentive servers/bartenders that go above and beyond to make you feel taken care of. The desserts seemed to be the thing to order, but we unfortunately didn't partake that night. Apart from the food, one thing that was great to see was that members of the LGBTQ community seemed to be super at home here.

I have been wanting to visit Bibulous since I heard about it !…read more We visited on a cold January night and were the first to arrive It was very cold in the restaurant! There was no hot drinks on the menu that I can recall I do not drink alcohol, but was looking forward to a tasty well made mocktail. There were 4-6 choices and mine was very tasty The food choices disappointed me. It was mini hot dogs with the works, chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese, potato chips and dip, french fries Definitely I do not belong to the targeted customer, which I believe is an elementary school' age crowd Deserts, each sounded good The peanut butter pie was the table favorite. I ordered lemon cake made with olive oil. The sauce on top, a lemon raspberry concoction was SOUR!
