    Stopped in for a quick half-liter at around 7pm on a Tuesday. The place was practically empty. Big space with lots of barstool and bench-style seating. Very neat and well-kept space with nice biergarten/college decor around. Huge beer selection (as expected) and prices were fair. I paid $8 for half-liter of Duvel. There were also a few snack options, but not much. Two dart boards toward the back.

    This place rules! They have darts and big ol' tables and an impressive moose head. The bartender Dylan was friendly.

    Wolff's Biergarten has a great vibe and a good amount if seating! They have a large beer selection and a very social atmosphere. They also have tvs if you're interested in coming here for a sporting event. The best part of Wolff's is that you get a free boot of beer (yes, a boot!) when it's your birthday! I think it's such a fun thing they offer and my friend's and I make it a point to go there for someone's birthday so they can get their boot. The major downside is it's a cash only bar. I personally have stopped carrying cash so it's definitely a bit of an inconvenience to not be able to use a card. However, they do have an onsite ATM for this exact situation.

    This is our third visit here but first time to review! I have been coming here since 2015 and always enjoy the atmosphere, drinks and peanuts! Yes, it is one of those places that they have peanuts on the tables and you throw the shells on the floor! I'm not a beer drinker but my husband and friends we have come with do and enjoy their selection of German beers. They also serve wine and cocktails. Great place to come watch a game, play jenga or darts or just chill! They don't serve food but you can bring your own in I believe and they only accept cash!

    SUCH A FUN PLACE TO BE!! We love stopping in for a brew at Wolff's. They have such a laid back vibe and they've got any sporting event you may want to watch, especially soccer. You can bring your own food in, play darts, enjoy some Jenga, or maybe even get involved in one of their many tournaments! All your friends are here and you should be too.

    I like that when I give one of my cats rotisserie chicken, he Wolffs it down. This German Beer Garden is not as overpriced as expected, and a really wonderful place to socialize and meet people and drink lots of European beer. I'm a big fan of this tavern even though I don't really go to taverns, and it's out of character for me to give a watering hole a 5-star rating, but that's what this one fully deserves.

    Great spot for a beer in Syracuse. Beer is a little pricey for the area but snacks are cheap

    Starting the weekend off right!

    We stopped by yesterday to have lunch after a morning on the wine trail and we were so glad we did!…read moreBefore we talk about the food, just want to give a shout out to our waitress who was just phenomenal-- I wish I would have caught her name! She was so attentive and quick to help if we had questions. We tried the sampler, and others at the table had different brats. Everyone said their meals were great-- the sampler is more than enough for two people, and can certainly be a snack for a group of four. Each of the brats are seasoned so well, but my personal favorite was the andouille-- it was spicy and seasoned to perfection with a crunch when you bite into it. The bread that came with the sample was also great- really crispy and warm! We were also able to try each of the sauces, and the banana pepper mustard and beer mustard are delicious! So much so, we bought a jar of the banana pepper mustard to take home with us. There were plenty of seats inside and outside the restaurant. Definitely would love to come support this place again in the future!

    I can't really sit here and say this was a positive or negative experience; it was just kind of odd…read morebut ultimately it delivered what it was supposed to. My cousin chums and I stopped by here on Labor Day after our mini wine tour in need of sustenance aka real food (a quality all of the wineries we went to were severely lacking in). From what I could tell, this is sort of an extension of the Arbor Hill Winery - to access Brew & Brats, we actually ended up walking through what I assume was Arbor Hill's main gift shop/wine tasting area, which sold more in the line of quasi-bougie condiments than actual wine. We briefly considered doing a third winery tasting here but I just didn't like the vibe, so we continued on to the back of the premises where this restaurant/bar was. Perfectly pleasant in there; the main establishment seemed to be centered on a barn-like structure (it almost felt like it had a former life as a ye olde general store, then got cleaned out to be a bar), though we ended up sitting/eating right outside in a little pavilion area with picnic tables (great weather for it). I also used the facilities at one point, which were unique - also a bit barn-like and felt very...temporary storage unit but not in a bad way, if that makes sense. Everything was spacious and clean from my perspective. When in Rome, I think you get brats. There was understandably a Bavarian-themed tinge to this menu, but heavily Americanized. So sauerkraut was a pretty pervasive ingredient, but it also had a lot of mainstream salad and BBQ sides. Interesting for sure. I didn't want to complicate things after multiple wine tastings, so I opted to get the Arbor Hill Sherried Wine Sausage with a side of baked beans. Honestly not bad; the marinating of the sherried wine gave it a nice fruity/sweet tinge. I'm more of a hot dog connoisseur when it comes to my weenies and I'm not a fan of condiments; even if I were though, something this flavorful probably doesn't need to rely on them. And I can always get down with a toasted bun. The beans were just okay; too sweet for my palate. I was expecting something more savory given the bacon, but literally every other ingredient drowns it out. I'd remove the brown sugar - if the sauce is already sherried wine-flavored, you really don't need to double-down. The service was honestly a little strange/awkward. Our waitress was friendly enough and given what we were ordering, it would have been insane if the wait time was more than 10 minutes or so (and it wasn't). We were in and out of there relatively quickly, giving us plenty of time to test drive our Airbnb hot tub. But she was very flustered and agitated throughout our stay there, constantly apologizing for the chaos and wait times, which were nonexistent. Every time she came to our table, it was accompanied by a flurry of, "Sorry, it's just been CRAZY with all of these people," which, given that there were literally two other parties and tons of empty seats just wasn't accurate and made no sense. My assumption is that they had a crazy lunchtime rush or something that she was still processing and/or recovering from, but I really don't know. Regardless, it didn't really detract from the overall meal or anything. The prices were out-and-out fantastic. For a legit entree and sides, casual as they were, $15 or so was a legit deal. This whole Naples area was generally pretty affordable, to its credit. Not really my kind of food in the grand scheme of things, but it was fine for what it was. Hope our waitress got a good night's sleep at least.

    This review actually started yesterday. I made the grave error of trusting google for the time the…read moreGreen Gate closed. Big mistake. Google, Facebook, and their website-posted-menus all list different closing times, so naturally I pulled into an empty parking lot. A true shame, as I had been looking forward to trying this place and they had a burger on the menu I was really craving. "No worries" I thought, "I'll be back tomorrow a tad earlier and try that burger!" Fast forward to today, I rushed through all of my after-work errands to make sure I could make it in while they were still open. I pulled into a parking lot full of cars, all seemed well. As I approached the door, I heard some music. Ok, well, the website DID mention jazz night, this must be it. Now jazz isn't my favorite music, but I do enjoy its elegant ambiance while eating a nice burger. I take one of the only open seats at the bar and request a menu, to which one was promptly provided. Oh no. I panic as I frantically scan the bespoke menu hastily printed on a piece of paper. There's no burger, in fact, it's completely different! No reason to stress, I'm hungry so I'll find something I like. I settled on the Jaeger schnitzel, which if you're familiar --is basically the complete opposite of a burger. I place my order for my food and and a beer, only to receive the flattest yuengling I've ever drank. There's hasn't been a bubble in this keg since at least 2021. It's fine, this is fine, I've had worse. Let's enjoy the jazz while I wait for my (not a blue cheese bacon burger) Jaeger schnitzel. As I start to settle in and take in my surroundings, I'm quickly realizing this is unlike any jazz I've ever heard before. It's a duo composed of two men, one with a keyboard, and one with what looks like a giant xylophone. It sounded like aggressive elevator music, and at one point, I half expected a full grown woman with a recorder to jump out from behind a curtain and hit the high notes. As I was writing this, it seems the band found the synthesizer settings. Lord help me, it's about to get CRAZY in here. The audience seemed to enjoy it, however, so who am I to judge, maybe I'M the one who's wrong. They enjoyed it so much, that they would routinely clap halfway through a "song" for no discernable reason. I guess my ear for jazz needs a tune up. It could also be the fact that everyone in the room was born before unleaded gasoline was invented. Maybe things were just different back then. My food arrived and honestly it was fantastic. The meat was tender, the spätzle was the perfect tenderness, the beets(?) were good I guess, as good as beets can be... Probably the second best Jaeger schnitzel I've ever had. I really mean that. The bar (concert) area was nice, classic and warm. The bathroom was clean, the decor was on brand. The bartenders were professional and prompt, and everyone was friendly, likely because I reminded them of their favorite grandson. I'm giving this 5 starts, because it was the most unintentionally hilarious meal I've ever eaten. 10/10

This bar is unassuming from the exterior (front side). It fits right in with other brick turn of the century historic buildings within the fabric of the city. If you blink you might miss it. The entrance is a well lit trek down a back alley. Inside the place seems just the right size. It's comfortable. the elements and woodwork are charming. There are plenty of tables and the acoustics are just right so it's not too loud even with a full house. There is a pool table and more than one "real" dart board. Not one of those weak electronic ones. There are stacks of board games that you often see people on a back table playing. The decorations are great including old memorabilia from nostalgic Ithaca bars including the stained glass from Mcawbers and the original carved wooden tables from the old chapter house. Those bars had great history which has now been incorporated into something new which I really appreciate. The outdoor space in back has an overlooking covered porch covered with vines. The back yard is surprisingly large with picnic style tables that can easily fit a group of ten each no problem. When I was there recently there were at least 50 people accommodated in the rear yard space. There are gardens that are fairly well maintained and murals painted on the walls. Extra special is that the surrounding buildings and space look good too. Nowhere you look fo you see a big eyesore. (Like a parking lot or bright street lights) The drinks are good and the variety of people frequenting are fabulous to converse with. I would love to see people dancing and some live music out back on the weekends. These are really good musicians just sitting around reading books for gods sake. I would suggest starting with an open mike night. Live music here would bring it over the top. Super fun !!! I'll for sure be back on my next Ithaca adventure. Hope to meet you all there soon.
