    Buffalo Chicken Nachos
    Sarah C.

    I was quite impressed with their beer. I'm not sure why I thought that a brewery on the East Coast wouldn't make good hazy beer, but I was wrong. Pretty much all their Hazy IPAs were quite nice. And they had a large selection of them. All the way from sessions to triples. I also tried the fruit sour - which is not really my type of beer - but I think they did a good job on that one too, very fruity. Hazy IPA's are their thing - they did have a couple others like the sour and a blonde, but this is mostly a place to go for a hazy. We also got food. I thought the pretzel sticks with mustard where quite good - although I ordered the beer cheese with them and was pretty unimpressed with that and wished I had just stuck with the mustard. I also go the Buffalo chicken nachos which were decent. Not blow me away, but tasty. And very filling. Great space. Huge indoor and outdoor space. Big patio with a gorgeous view of Seneca Lake. I saw games inside.

    Loved the smoothie beers and Whoop Ass Seltzer and I don't like seltzers.

    While up in the Finger Lakes on the Seneca Wine Trail, we wanted to try a brewery for something different. So glad that we tried Tin Barn. The employees are very kind and helpful. They love and take pride in their work and what they produce. I love things that are sweet so we got things like that on the menu. I loved the smoothie beers. They were so unique and flavorful. The Can of Whoop Ass was my favorite. It was so sweet. I can't remember the 4th one we got (top left). It was just ok. Such a beautiful place! We really enjoyed being there and the views. We even brought the Can of Whoop Ass home. I'll be slowly enjoying it. You must go and check them out.

    I am going to leave another great review because I like this brewery that much. The space is bright, clean and spacious. It was raining today so we sat indoors. They have a nice size area with a good selection of merchandise. They have cans and draft brews. Sours are my brew of choice and Tin Barn always has some wonderful choices. Our bartender was patient while we made our selections. OOOMGS - Coconut, strawberry and marshmallow...on the sweet side which is my preference , with a little texture.

    Great venue with spectacular views of the lake. Choose to sit inside or outside lots of space. Great beer and wine. Super friendly people. Highly recommend visit. Cheers

    Stopped here for lunch twice on our 4 day weekend. Fancy brewery with great drafts and tasty tacos. Service was fast. And you can't beat the view of Seneca Lake while you enjoy everything.

    Beautiful place on the inside and outside. I try to come here whenever I get the opportunity but it is 1 1/2 hours from my house. We are so lucky to have a brewery of this caliber in the finger lakes. I have met the Owners: Dale and Lauren (his daughter) and they are the nicest most down to earth people you would ever meet!!! My request last year was to go there for my birthday and had a wonderful time and a drink with Dale. I went back several times since then and always a good time. I'm looking forward to checking out the Chester location. If you like great craft beer and the most beautiful view of Seneca lake you must go. The food is typical bar food.

    This brewery has a heck of a view! Beers were pretty good. My wife loved the sours and the IPAs were just okay. Very strong flavors. I prefer a middle of the road beer to balance out stronger ones, but that's just me. Doesn't take away from the vibe at all. The sun was shining on a cold fall day so sitting outside was a good thing. Very friendly staff, dog friendly, and they are helpful when ordering.

    We drove by and this place is so easy to see from the roadway. We stopped to see what this place was all about. Apparently it was another winery called "Sharkys" or something. The place is huge and maybe too large for this brewery, but it may need the space in the winter months for certain. We stopped here and they said they opened up maybe a year ago if I remember. I got a sample list of beers to sample, then ending up with a hazy IPA as always for me. We had food, ordered in the front, and pick it up when your pager goes off. The food was good, the staff was friendly and helpful on any questions, and how about that view, it's incredible from that high up. Overall great stop, will stop again as a great brewery to visit in the area.

    This was one of our favorite stops while on Seneca Lake. Great ambiance, super nice staff. Great flights of beer and wine for non-beer drinkers. Lots of glasses, mugs, sweatshirts,shirts and hat for sale too.

    This is the second time we've tried Tin Barn and again it has disappointed. It's unfortunate, because it's in such a beautiful location and has such wonderful views. This could really be a vibe. But it fails terribly. The service is meh, not terrible but just not welcoming. If it was my first trip to a brewery I may think this wasn't for me. Most breweries I've been to are very welcoming and willing to work with you on selecting the right beers. I don't need that type of guidance but I've watched staff all but ignore people who were obvious struggling to choose. Maybe it was a one time thing. The beer. Awful, no other way to describe it. Between the two of us we had 8 beers yesterday in 2 flights. 7 of the 8 were drain pours, 1 was tolerable but not good. 4 IPAs, 2 sours, and 2 seltzers. The last time we were here we had 3 IPAs, 1 stout, 1 Pilsner and 3 sours. 7/8 drain pours again. 2 tolerable beers, both sours (out of 16) equals 14 drain pours. Now before anyone rips on this review, we've been to every top brewery in New England including Bissel Bros, Maine Brewing, Alchemist, Lawson's, Hill Farmstead, Fox, etc. we know beer. It's not that our tastes are off, it's just not a good brewery. I read the reviews and wonder who is giving this a 5 and what are they drinking here. Maybe we're missing it, but the sours are often referenced and I can tell you these would be rejected by Foam in VT as not passable for sale. It's a shame because it's in the best location ever. Anyone with real brewing chops could make a fortune on the Seneca wine trail. Hudson Valley Brewing would have a lock on the FLX region! I hope you guys are reading this, as we come back every year.

    Interesting spot. Gorgeous views. Plenty of parking. Beers were limited and not exactly to my preference. They had 2 IPAs which I know I don't like, so tried the others in a flight. Everything was very sweet. Should have gone with the Lager. Any way, every one has different taste buds and you may like their beers. I had the ground beef tacos which were ok. The system for ordering and then getting your food seams to work. Can't say the team was overly welcoming. As a female stopping on my own for lunch and a flight, I can't say they were the most friendly. The friendliest they got was when I asked for reccomendations. Outside of that, they seemed annoyed I was there. Expensive. A flight and beef tacos cost me $30+. For the price, I probably won't visit again. However, I am all about people making their own decisions. The place inside and out is absolutely gorgeous.

    Tons of fruity sours and IPA variations with a beautiful view. Came on a late Tuesday afternoon and had the most perfect weather to sit in the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the lake. It's a very large, gorgeous space where I can see more formal events being held here. They have a small merchandise area with the cutest plaid glasses. I wish I had the room for them at home! The kitchen wasn't open yet but it is coming soon. Thankfully they did have tasty Bavarian pretzels. Can't wait to see what this brewery turns into, as they just opened this location Memorial Day weekend. Highly recommend!

    We have been to the first location a bunch of times. But we were up in finger lakes and decided to check it out. Loved it. The beer, the service, the view excellent! We went to Ithaca brewery right before. It was packed but the beer was gross. Tin barn is way way better!!

    Amazing beer, food, view and staff!!

    Okay. I do love my friends who perform drag and burlesque here, and I'm glad there is a place for…read morethem. But I have to be real. Not a fan of the racism I encounter time and time again. Last time, the white male bartender just kept ignoring me, the only PoC at his end of the bar. The white fratty-looking dudes who elbowed their way next to me, (also apparently here for the Beyoncé night with their gfs) were the ones who got his attention. The PoC bartender tho? They/she looked like they took him aside, talked to him, then took my order after what felt like FOREVER trying to get this man's attention, with him instead putting all the other white patrons before me. The PoC bartend took over & let me order, which made me feel like crying with relief. I looked at the white group right in their eyes...all who saw me and cut in, confidently knowing this bartender would choose them. There has to be a code of conduct, right? Nope...just smirks back. If I wanted to be real cynical, I would say it's a grift between staff that preys on the vulnerabilities of PoC in a predominantly white Upstate/CNY town to finally be seen with any modicum of respect after being treated as lesser...because I tipped generously for being treated like I deserved to be there. But I refuse to believe QPoC would do this to their own. And the PoC bartender seemed genuinely real, and for that, I really appreciate what they do, looking out for their fellow PoC in the space. But from where I stand, it looks exhausting to have this as a whole second job of looking after PoC and educating white coworkers on top of the actual job...I know the feeling. It's the Ithaca experience. I do have to appreciate the queer white femmes who DID treat me with kindness & grace, giving me space, letting me approach the bar to tip the PoC bartender who takes my order almost every time. The one whom I believe saw how awful I was being treated and swooped in to look out. They even told the bartender I was leaving extra tips for them. They are the allies we need in these spaces! I appreciate them. But yeah...the tall white AFAB femme drag performer who was a drag child of my white AMAB colleague...I did not appreciate how they treated me (an AFAB femme PoC) like a predator for buying him a drink. I felt less than human, and felt disgusting being treated to a buffet of the twisted type of racialized microagressions only white queer folks can deliver. It made me never want to return. And I didn't for a long time, even when I tore it up so much on the dance floor that Spirit Posse gave me swag. The PoC of this space make it humane. But that same night...I saw a white woman inappropriately grope a Black person performing on stage. They had to remind her about consent, which they likely made a regular thing because of how often it happens at Thursgays. I didn't see her at the last couple ones when I returned to go back to supporting friends who perform...but they really need to do better to make this space safer and less stressful to exist in as a PoC. It's not worth me being the "Duke" of this joint if I can't relax and enjoy the show, the drinks, or the dance floor. They may not be the Trump flag waving folks 30 mins away, but this is a Get Out flavor of distress I don't think makes it worth return visits.

    I appreciate that they are requiring proof of vaccination. I really, really appreciate it. That is…read morean excellent way to deal with running a bar in the midst of a pandemic. I do not appreciate a bouncer rushing over to tell me to put on a mask or sit down the moment I shifted from my chair to a standing position at a hightop table. I was polite, of course, and promptly shifted my butt down approximately five inches so that I was sitting. Apparently, it is very important for my butt to be five inches lower to prevent the spread of aerosols that carry an airborne disease. C'mon, people. Think for a minute. Letting people congregate introduces risks. Monitoring whether they are standing or sitting does not mitigate those risks at all.

    18th Amendment was a fantastic choice for a memorable dinner while visiting the area with family…read more Our group included three senior citizens, a baby, and three adults, and we were looking for a legitimate dining experience - it is vacation, after all! I had walked past 18th Amendment earlier in the week and thought it looked worth checking out - just peering in the window, it had a great atmosphere and inviting vibe. When I requested an online reservation I received a prompt and friendly callback - and when we arrived the next night, they had a highchair set up and waiting for us. The cocktails were excellent. I don't mind paying almost city prices when drinks are thoughtfully crafted, balanced, and unique - these absolutely delivered. Our server was wonderful. We asked whether the chef could prepare something for the baby and she quickly returned with several options. Since it was his first birthday, we let him splurge and ordered a filet with risotto. The kitchen sent it out right away, which helped avoid an imminent pre-bedtime meltdown. Dad tax applied--the baby's dinner was delicious! The bartender even sent over a small mocktail for him to try - a thoughtful touch. Every entrée at the table was phenomenal and everyone cleaned their plates. The ingredients were fresh, the portions were generous, and the quality was evident throughout the meal. Great food paired with outstanding service made it easy to justify the price, which again, was not extraordinarily high, all things considered. I highly recommend 18th Amendment if you're looking for a dining experience that's a step above the ordinary.

The free bread was warm and delicious. The brown butter Manhattan was on point. An amuse bouche arrived. We shared the "Eggs on Eggs" starter - deviled eggs topped with caviar and blinis. For $31, we received two eggs, each halved and topped with a blini and a small amount of indistinguishable caviar, with a bit of shredded lettuce. While tasty, neither the ingredients nor presentation justified the price tag. With the mains, I had a glass of Hector wine essence. That was also good. But the egg topped pork chop was chewy and also pricy at $39. The menu promised a hash, but it sat on top of fries. If memory serves, La Portena's crab dish, a special, was announced as a saute, but turned out to be crab cakes. These commanded a $43 price tag. This was a nice enough dish, but expensive for what it was. If you are sensing a theme here, I think the prices here are about 20% higher than they should be. Perhaps we came on an off night. Later that week, we ate at the Burnt Rose, under the same management, and had a better experience.
