It is basement level and just a black unmarked door opens to the staircase leading down, that has clear signage. It definitely is like stepping back in time and there's no Wi-Fi service so guests are enjoying the live music or socializing! We ordered pretty quickly at the bar, we were not offered menus so I'm not sure what their signature cocktails are. Ordered a martini requested fruity, I believe it was raspberry not sure and a dark red for my friend. We sat in some cozy velvet purple chairs in the lounge area enjoying live Jazz music. My friend recalls this was a downstairs dining area for Burger King in the 80's-early 90's. The bar and Bath Room could be a bit tidier, but otherwise fun retro vibe. There is an historical piston machine on display that was used to run the building's original elevator utilizing steam! And now serves as decor and remanence of past decades.

I also got a local hard cider and it was amazing. We had to sit at the bar outside because I had my dog with me and there was nowhere else to sit. Service was average nothing amazing. I probably won't try it again.

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.

You can choose from bar seating, indoor tables, or outdoor spots with a perfect breeze. There's even a big street-side table that's ideal for bachelorette groups or larger parties. The whole space feels elevated, cozy, and a little magical. Drinks: The cocktail menu is insanely creative and the pours are generous. Their espresso martini is one of my all-time favorites... I stop in for one every single time I'm in Lake Placid. It's that good. Food: I think about this food at least once a week. The menu is built around shareable small plates, making it the perfect pre-dinner cocktail hour spot for your travel crew. Order a couple of drinks and a few bites while you take in the lake views before your dinner reservation. My personal must-orders: the charcuterie board and the mac and cheese. Unreal. Price: It's on the pricier side, but genuinely worth every penny. For the quality, the atmosphere, and those views? Not overpriced at all.
