    Great beer options and friendly staff. A must stop if you're in the area. I am not an IPA fan, but found a lot of nice beers to sample. Couldn't decide which my favorite was between Pumpkin Pie, Oktoberfest, Vienna Lager, Common Sense, or Mary Jane's. Try them all Plenty of parking and easy to find. Bar tender was very friendly and willing to assist. Can't ask for more with great service and great beer.

    Stopped at their Seneca Lake location on our way up to Niagara Falls. We got sandwiches at the food truck and some beer in the tasting room. It's very convenient to walk around town from there. The staff were very friendly! We love the finger lakes and are looking forward to coming back.

    In town to visit family. Stopped in to check this out. Friendly service, casual atmosphere. Cream ale was excellent, Oktoberfest very good. Took a 4 pack of cream ale to go. Definitely give this place a try.

    Was in from Illinois and stopped in to try some beer. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great beer. Didn't get a chance to take a pic of beer but they had bags for entertainment.

    We stopped here one afternoon this past week and what a great find! The place is literally on, Lake Road and easy to find. The beer sommelier was great and steered my fiance who likes a good NE IPA with low etoh content (under 6%) towards, Lake Road beer. It was excellent! I dont even drink beer but, I enjoyed this one! Great spot if you're looking for a nice brewery with an excellent selection near Watkins Falls! Elmira is a small city with great gems like this..They also offer light meals and have seating both inside and outside.

    Stopped in Saturday with a Bachelor Party. Very accommodating staff with knowledge of the beers available. Cards were available to use for socializing. Nice indoor set up and seating outside. No food on site but they normally have food trucks - none were there this past Saturday. Great beers and great times had by our group

    Awesome brewery, even more awesome is it is less than a half a kilometer from my house.

    Awesome beer, great atmosphere. Nice sized taproom making it a comfortable place to hang for a couple of good brews.

    So we came here on a Friday night about 6 o'clock and they were supposed to be an open mic…read morehappening which we were excited about because we love performing an open mic. Since we've been out all day we were really hungry so we decided to eat something before we performed. At the moment there couldn't have been more than eight people in the whole place inside and out on the deck total. We were handed menus that had no prices on them. I ordered the buddah bowl with chicken strips and my husband got a quesadilla with steak. It took about 40 minutes for the food to come and the boot bowl was mostly a big bowl of greens with what couldn't have been more than a tablespoon of chicken chopped up on it. It was very tasty. My husband's quesadilla was the size you would expect loaded with cheese but literally one little tiny cube of steak in each of the six wedges. His quesadilla was tasty We only ordered water to drink because we were going to be singing later and it took about 15 minutes for the water to get to us. She "forgot". The whole time we were there nobody checked on us and place never got very busy no more than maybe eight people the whole time. We decided not to stay to sing because there was practically nobody there and the people who were there were outside on the deck while the place for the performers was inside in the bar. And as far as we knew we were the only people there who were planning to perform. The Buddha bowl which would've made a nice side salad to any other meal was $14, while the quesadilla was $13. In my opinion overpriced for what we got. We also bussed our own table.

    Can we just start with the Pickle Flatbread? Oh and the fact that there are 30 different brew ON…read moreTAP!!! (My honey managed to try 28 of them. The last two were ciders, so he took a pass and just left it at 28...or SEVEN BEER FLIGHTS!!!) We also had the Mexican Street Corn dip and then couldn't leave without trying the GIANT pretzel (could probably feed four!!) Our hosts and wait staff were as nice as could be. It was a truly lovely way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon! Can't wait to go back.

    Restaurant was recommended by our salesman at Spectrum. We had never heard of it but took a chance…read moreand went for dinner tonight. So glade we did. The service was very good and the food was excellent. A definite step above regular bar food.

    To be completely honest, I have some alarm over the fact that either I am having a stroke or the…read moreentire surrounding area is delusional because I cannot grasp the good reviews for this place. I feel betrayed. We ordered this meal to cap off a stretch of long work days. We weren't looking for anything nutritious, this was a naughty, slutty, orgie, type of order. We did a lil research and this seemed like a good enough bet, ESPECIALLY with the reviews. I don't know what the bar is around here but I live in Westchester and I don't think this place would survive a week in my area. I'm being savage because I'm genuinely PISSED at the waste of a meal this was. We ordered: mac and cheese, deep fried cauliflower, margherita flatbread, veggie flatbread, side of loaded garlic mash, side of veggies, sweet potato fries. I will admit that the mac and cheese was fantastic. It was even quite good heated up as leftovers. I loved the option of the side portion which was actually a pretty generous portion. GF actually liked the veggie flatbread but notes that it was cold upon arrival. I don't know if that can be blamed on the restaurant tho. My flatbread was just ok. The crust wasn't particularly good. It wasn't BAD but I can't say much more than that. The mashed potatoes were pretty good also but I fucked up and didn't realize the loaded version would be covered in bacon. That was my bad. I appreciate the attempt at the veggie options but the deep fried cauliflower really seemed to be frozen cauliflower which...isn't good at all. The batter had zero flavor. It wasn't worth the calories. I lied when I said we weren't looking for anything nutritious because I always need to sneak in an order of something with fiber and antioxidants for the temple that is my body. I ordered the side of veggies to achieve that task. They were mushy, clearly frozen veggies that were just warmed up, soggy, flavorless. It's insane to literally sell vegetables to people but then just buy a bag of frozen veggies and throw them in the microwave. Beyond me. The veggie sweet potato fries were cold, soggy, undercooked, and I am not joking or exaggerating, came with an absolute joke of a portion. There MAY be 15 fries there, max. I am actually going to post a picture because the quantity was offensive. They were so underwhelming we just gave them to the dogs. The dogs liked them but my dog literally eats her own shit, so.. This was such a disappointing meal I would never entertain ordering from this place again.
