Adirondack Pub & Brewery

Nice cabin setting with an outside deck. Had to order the eggplant fries, never have I’ve seen them before, they were really good. The shaved parmigiana cheese and balsamic glaze really does it justice. I went for the cheddar burger with bacon. A little disappointed, burger was seasoned but not enough, the fries would have been excellent if someone in the kitchen would have hit them up with salt before they left. I am thinking that the ketchup at the table is homemade because of the style of bottle but not sure, but it was good ketchup. The bacon was really good, not over cooked, but still crispy and the cheddar had good tang.

I come to Lake George twice a year, and this restaurant never never lets me or my family down. Great food, Great service, Great atmosphere. This time I had the cider wings!!! And one of their home brew beers... Incredible. I'm so happy I chose Adirondack Pub and Brewery, my belly is happy 😊

A scenic brewery on Lake George. I visited to get root beer for my uncle; but I ended up staying for lunch. I had the hot honey chicken sandwich which was amazing. The fries were good. The rest of the menu is basically standard bar fare with a couple of twists thrown in to add uniqueness. The selection of craft beers was incredible and I ended up going home with a growler of one. The root beer is pretty good.

I really wanted to like this place, the atmosphere is nice, there are multiple heaters, the environment is big and nicely decorated. Unfortunately the food was dry amongst 5 of us, although the presentation was good. The main entrees took an hour to come out, but this was on a Sunday night. Our server was nice and did her job well. The food is not worth the money, I would come again just for the drinks.

Came in on Father's Day for some dinner. We were able to be seated on the patio as soon as we showed up. Since we had our two dogs, this was perfect for us. We ordered a couple of kids meals and a plate of nachos and some buffalo chicken Mac and cheese for me wife and I to share. The beer was pretty good and the food was very tasty as well. I would say my only ding on this place was the service was a little slow. It took them forever to come and take our order and then was MIA for a good chunk of the meal All in all, this was a win... Especially for Father's Day

Had some very nice beers here. The problem was the food. We started with the pretzel which was delicious and salads. While we were still eating our salads our entrees came out. Way too soon. My fries were cold and they replaced them. My wife’s crab cakes were lukewarm at best and she sent them back. My pulled pork sandwich was very good. Our server was very apologetic and offered us free dessert which we declined. But believe it or not I would go back.

A little crowded on the patio but nice atmosphere. Service was nice. I wasn’t overly impressed with the eggplant fries like many of the reviews talk about. Next time I’d like to try the fried pickles instead. Ribs were cooked well but needed a side of sauce for some more flavor. Fish fry was delicious. I would recommend not getting the side salad as a side, it was about 10 pieces of lettuce 2 cucumbers and 1 tomato

Hoping for a chill evening snack and good beer. Beer was good, food was ok, good crowd but it included 5-8 kids (lost count) running in and out of bar area, up and down stairs at end of bar area, yelling and screaming outside (almost ran into us as we came in). Maybe I'm old school but evening drink is my relax time... Come on a no-kid night if you want to relax.

Went here twice during our stay for the Lake George Winter Carnival.. the cider is very good and as adults we even had fun with the s'mores dessert. We'll be back!

Came here with a group of friends visiting the area. They were able to seat a party of 8 without a reservation, although I think someone called ahead to make sure they had seats. They certainly did has this place is massive. Loved the outdoor fire-pits that kept us warm in the cool summer nights. Foodwise, our group shared the Battered Pickle Chips ($14), which were crispy fried pickle chips served with a side of house chipotle ranch dipping sauce. The dipping sauce makes it a very enjoyable plate to snack on. For entrees, my gf ordered the Pesto & Roasted Tomato Alfredo ($20), consisting of penne pasta tossed with roasted tomatoes, fresh pesto and creamy alfredo sauce, then topped with shaved parmesan. Adding a protein costed extra depending on what protein, but overall was enjoyable as I was told. I ordered the BBQ Plate ($30), which consisted of a quarter rack of ribs, a grilled local bratwurst, and Korean BBQ glazed burnt ends. It's served with a side of house cole slaw, pickled vegetables, warm grilled peaches and a buttery roll. Super filling, enough to be split amongst two people. Enjoyed what I could consume. Being that it is a brewery, we had to get some draft beer. They had very decent selections. Seems like they switch out their drafts very often as I can't find the drink I ordered on their online menu.

BEST beer, bar none, amazing atmosphere, great service, our favorite place in the DAX!

Let me preface this review by first saying that we have come here several times for Octoberfest, Winter Carnival, and other outside events and these guys put on a great party. The beer is above average, the customer service is always excellent. So let's review: Great Beer, Great Service, Great Parties! Now let's move on to the food. On two occasions we've been burned by just terrible food. A year ago we ate here on a very, very busy night and half of the entre's that came out were cold or inedible. To be honest I can't even remember what we and the others with us had to eat but is was memorable for being not good. Tonight we (only 2 of us) thought, let's give it another chance. Ordered the Street Corn Dip that was very good, and a large portion-however the chips were stale. Next we decided to split the open faced steak sandwich and it was inedible. First it wasn't near the description in the menu- served in a runny A1 steak sauce and topped with a sweet horseradish sauce. Menus said braised shaved prime rib topped with Gorgonzola. And it was served on what I can only describe as a tiny, thin bread crust. It was awful. Fortunately, we were able to send it back. We were not charged for it which was very kind of our bartender who is our server. Six sandwiches really hard to mess up. Slices of a NY strip on a roll- simple. Over think it and this is what you get- see the picture I posted- presentation is just gross. Also the sweet potato fries though tasty were cold. Oh well. Live and learn.

PROS: - fast service - tasty good quality food - good drinks and great cocktails - reliable CONS: - long (almost hr long) wait times on busy weekends - can get very crowed (elbow to elbow) - service is hit or miss - may have to park a long walk away Came here after attending the local ice castles winter escape. There was a long wait (like 45mins) for a table for three, but we stayed bc it was a busy Saturday and we figured there would be long waits everywhere. Food is pretty good and reliable. I can't say anything I had was memorable, but everything was decent and drinks and cocktails are very good. This is a solid place with fast service and I would come back here when in the area.

An ok place to eat in lake George. They have a super cute outdoor area with fire pits. The vibe is so cool outside! The beer was just okay. Our waitress was overly attentive but real nice and friendly. The fried pickles we got for a starter were pretty bland. I got the Korean beef tacos and they were so heavy. There's no need for that much beef! My husbands wings were really really good though!!! I would definitely recommend coming here for the wings alone!!!

Service was great but good and beer were unimpressive. No dark beers at all. I had the BBQ platter and the ribs were dry and overcooked, pork belly was ok, wasn't a fan of the sausage. Wife had a tangerine beer but said they was no tangerine flavor at all.

We had a nice lady who was being trained and was a good hostess. I ordered a pespi. However, it was a tiny bit watered down. My stepmother's hard cider was a good and not super carbonated. She likes it. I ordered fish and chips, and they were good. The Haddock was amazingly cooked. And the fries were good but a bit messy. Overall, I would recommend... and the guy overlooking the trainee was left-handed like me, so that was cool.

Came back again because of the proximity to my hotel. We were seated outside immediately and had Shawn as our server. He did everything right, was pleasant and presentable. We HAD TO get the eggplant fries again, which are so yummy, as was the accompanying marinara. Got the fish and chips but wanted to sub the mashed potatoes, (which on the menu, costs the same) but there was an up charge. Hmmm, ok, no worries. Well the fish was a HUMONGOUS piece of fish, beautifully fried but lacked any flavor. Not to mention, my up-charged sub mashed potatoes were cold. I didn't say anything cause it was my decision to make the substitution. My friend substituted sweet potato fries, which clearly states an up charge. Her accompanying raspberry sauce were super delicious too.

This place has a great atmosphere and a lot of variety in their brewed stock. Highly recommend the sampler flight (their vanilla stout is worth taking home). Pretzels were warm and crispy and the cheese was perfect. I filled up on apps (ROOKIE MOVE) so I went with the portobello burger (which was cooked precisely) but my table also saw their prime rib and the pulled pork Mac and cheese. Not sure there's a miss on the menu, it all looked good.

We had a great evening at Adirondack Pub & Brewery. We sat outside by the fire pits and had a wonderful time. After a while we got chilly so we moved to the closed in porch with heaters. We ordered a bunch of appetizer and stayed until last call. The wait staff and bartenders we awesome! The service was great and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend a visit here!

2nd time in. Great beer, the food is just ok. Had the smoked prime rib, it was smoked, good touch but the toughest prime rib I've ever had. I'll mark it up to a bad cow, will try again. Sides were great

Heather was a great server! Everything was delicious! Americade lunch specials just amazing! Appetizer: Battered Pickle chips super crispy and house chipotle dip was tasty Harleys Motor Burger was perfect for Americade! Definitely something that I was looking forward to! With the sun coming thru glad the weather was perfect for sitting outside (outdoor fans make it cool!) What a great lunch spot to start the afternoon!

Rounded up from a 3.5, because the beer on tap was absolutely delicious! My friends and I got some beer flights, and we were able to try a variety of different types of beer. We even had some unique options like the Peanut Butter Porter and the Imperial Mocha Coffee Stout. Food was just decent, but there were a few standout items like the ribs and the pickle chips. But ultimately the real stars were the beers - would recommend a visit just to try them out!

Food was excellent we just stopped in for a quick bite we had some Buffalo boneless wings which were perfect, excellent . We also endulged on a pulled pork sandwich & a delightful pub dip! Server was most attentive. We were there the day after their magnificent October Fest & things were all back running perfect , clean, hospitable & everything available. This place never skips a beat to be perfect!

I love the Adirondack pub It's always spot on. I just wish I lived closer. Great place great environment

Excellent food!!! Very nice beer selection. Busy but Family friendly. Two thumbs up!

French onion soup 9/10. Used Swiss instead of provolone. Not bad but wanted the provolone. And definitely more cheese on top. Wasn't a fan of the rye bread in it. Broth was fantastic though. Pulled pork 7/10 (pictured). Pork I think was cooked a little too long. Was a little more tough than I would have liked it. Homemade bbq sauce was good. Don't like coleslaw but I put some on my sandwich for some additional flavor. Not terrible but didn't need to put a whole lot. Just a thin layer would be good enough. Black and blue burger 8/10. Kyles rating. Medium rare was cooked perfectly. Horseradish cream sauce was a good twist. Smooth and creamy but you still get the horseradish flavor. Fresh ingredients.

Stopped in tonight for dinner during Americade. Yes, it was a little busy, but Americade happens the same week year after year. I asked if the prime rib was available before I ordered it and I was told it absolutely was. When it came out, the wrong two sides were with the rib. I was told that it looked like someone else got my dinner and they got mine. After that, my server said it would be a few minutes as a new piece of prime rib had to be cut. My wife's dinner was served. When a new prime rib dinner arrived I was told that the vegetable of the day was changed and table staff was not notified. Had I known that there were changes to the menu, I likely would have made a completely different choice. To avoid further delay I accepted the vegetable that was substituted. The prime rib was anything but medium rare as ordered. It was well done instead. That's not how prime rib is done and CERTAINLY not how I ordered it. The server took it back. A different and slightly less done piece arrived. It wasn't medium rare either, but I said I'd give it a try. Not only far from medium rare, but cold. The potatoes were cold too. The only hot food on the plate was the substituted vegetable, which had no flavor and seemed to have been dumped from a can. Our server, Brandi, was struggling to make up for incompetent kitchen staff, but she was extremely responsive and eager to help. I simply tried one bite of dinner and gave up. My wife's dinner was anything but great, but she was really hungry and tried to eat her poorly prepared meal. She felt awkward eating while the pub's every attempt at making my dinner just got worse and worse results. She barely ate any of her meal,and did NOT want the leftovers boxed up to take with us. Brandi sent the manager (Ben) over. He apologized. I politely and throughly explained the poor attempts by the kitchen staff to make this resemble a prime rib dinner. Ben was aware that my dinner wasn't eaten at all and my wife's dinner was barely eaten. He offered us dessert and drinks to make up for the horrible experience. We don't drink, and we couldn't eat dessert because we hadn't even come close to having dinner. My prime rib was removed from the bill and my wife's dinner was fully represented on the bill. The only thing removed from the bill was my dinner, which was completely untouched. While I hadn't suggested it, clearly removing my wife's dinner from the bill would have been an appropriate gesture, as there was no other way to make up for the incompetence of kitchen staff, which now cost us almost an hour of our lives and left us hungry. I paid the bill and tipped Brandi around 25% of what the bill would have been without any deductions. I rarely send food back. This was the worst prime rib I've ever seen, and possibly the worst restaurant experience I've ever had.

Another really good craft brewery in Lake George. A lot of good beers, a nice setting, and good, simple pub food. Their Saratoga Lager and Bear Naked Amber ale were the highlights for me. They were perfect for drinking by/in the lake and for evenings in the cabin. They were both dominated with flavorful malt without being heavy and made for easy drinking. The pub was good as well, as we had excellent pretzel bites and burgers. The kids really liked the pulled pork mac and cheese too. Definitely will be a regular stop on our annual summer vacation up here!

I really wanted to like this place a lot more as we are frequent customers of local breweries near home and when we travel. The good parts were: brussel sprout appetizer and the two craft cocktails we had. Bad parts were: the BBQ plate ribs were extremely dry and the pulled pork Mac and cheese was oddly assembled with the pork mixed in and some bbq sauce drizzled on top which overpowered the Mac and cheese. Service was so / so which made it so we didn't even try the planned flights of beer we wanted. So much potential - the outdoor space is absolutely incredible.

Came up to the area to check out the Ice Castles (see my review on those before you go!) and enjoy a nice dinner with friends. Had a small group, 4 and a baby, and they accommodated us promptly upon entering. This place is definitely rocking on a friday evening so get there early if you don't want to wait. Inside, the decor is a a cool mix of all things Adirondack, from old boat motors, to trumpets used as lamps over tables, it was different yet appealing. The service here was great as our server Brandi was very attentive and we never wanted or waited too long for anything. I opted for the open face steak sandwich. Excellent! Very juicy steak that was well seasoned over top of a sturdy piece of bread with a nice crust on the bottom. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals with no complaints and the food was delivered quickly after ordering. It was nice to take a drink outside and chat around one of the various fireplaces on their patio. The bar filled up fast after we got there and I could tell this is a favorite for the locals. And why not? Decent prices for the food and drinks. Just take note that you won't get a can of domestic beer here. They only offer the beer they brew themselves but you would hard pressed not to find something you can enjoy with your meal. We all had a nice time here and enjoyed the food, drink, and atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back on our next visit to the Lake George area!!! Nice work everyone! Keep it up!! :-)

I've been coming to Adirondack Pub & Brewery for years, and I mean YEARS. I remember when they first started expanding their brewery, the tiny outdoor area, no real parking. I love to see the evolution. Like seeing your kids grow up but it's one of your favorite pubs! But somewhere in their expansion and growth they forgot to keep quality. The menu has grown sure. And the food is still good. But is it worth what they're charging? A burger & fries here is 14.99. It's a roughly 6oz patty on a toasted bun, lettuce tomato onion. It's cooked over charcoal so if there's any flavor to it, it's fire. That's the flavor. Its served with regular fries. If you want to sub out fries, they will happily do so for an additional four dollars. Yes. FOUR dollars more for sweet potato fries or a side salad or onion rings. Also the sweet potato fries were cold. Pay extra, also get fewer fries, and get them Cold. Decor: pretty rustic. It's a fun atmosphere. Outside patio is really nice and the bar area is always a good hang. Feels like a local bar in spite of the tourists. Service: they're doing the best they can. Friendly, maybe overworked and a bit stressed. Beers: ya know... they're good. There aren't any "must haves" in my opinion. If you're big into craft beers I guarantee you'll find something you like. But will you be wow'd? The value for the money isn't there. I think management saw too many opportunities for growth and cut corners on the quality of the food and that's honestly a shame.

This is our favorite place in Lake George and has been for 25 years. Two years ago we moved to LG and are so happy to have this as our go to resturant. My husband likes their beer selection (brewed on premises) and their apps and entrees are great. The waitstaff is always friendly and attentive and the bartenders mix great drinks. This is our Cheers!

Went here on a Sunday night around 6:30. Parking can be a challenge on a very busy night. The Waite staff is very attentive. We had the fish sandwich and the chicken brie sandwich. Both were good. They have an extensive draft beer list which includes their own brews. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating.

Great place in Lake George. I've been coming to Lake George for vacation in the winters since Covid and I would stay at the Holiday Inn Resort so it's a short walk to this restaurant and have come since I have found it the first year. Their variety of beers is great and you can select 4 for a flight. One of my favorite ciders is made here - farmhouse cider which is semi-sweet. Their food is good as well. They have a really nice outdoor space but since I normally come during winter and even though there's a fire going, it's a little too cold to sit outside.

Amazing food, great drinks, excellent service, cute gift shop-! Highly recommend! Free parking in the back

If you are coming for some beers and have no need for food, the place is fine. Every food item we got was just low quality and nearly inedible. I got the BBQ pork sandwich which was gamey. My husband got the BBQ platter. The ribs had a meat on them that was unrecognizable. Everything had a funny taste. My son got a burger and he only took two bites and couldnt continue eating it. The service started out ok but there were only 2 servers upstairs and they got overwhelmed quickly. We waited over 30 minutes just to get our check after we asked for it. Definitely wouldn't go back. Bad food, bad service and the upstairs ambiance was not great.

Stopped in for dinner and the place has a very rustic vibe going on inside. We got the pickle chips served with a chipoltle mayo that were amazing, shrimp tacos, and Buffalo chicken salad. Salad was great, tacos OK. The desert however was amazing, the apple crisp was so good, definitely recommend!

Great beer selection of course. Fish and chips were very greasy. Service was awesome and place was pretty clean. Nice decor throughout.

The drinks were great and the service fast. However, the food was lacking a bit of......flavor. The nachos were just....wrong.

Wonderful staff, Brandi was so sweet! As a person with Muscular Dystrophy and unable to do stairs, they had safe ramps/entrance and were very accommodating. Food was great! Will def come back when we go next year!

Haven't been to Lake George for a minute so decided to take the boyfriend there to take in the sights, nature and lack of civilization. Going during the off season you won't be finding the busy groups and tourist stops like during the summer but it seems that this place is the exception which I can understand. Wanting to enjoy a local eatery and brewery with pints made in house you best prepare to wait for a little bit as they attempt to seat as many as they can while keep everyone safe during these difficult Covid times. We felt safe with masks and being seated in a small corner booth which made people watching all the better. We enjoyed seeing a couple sitting at a high top with a canoe hanging over them and was amused yet concerned for them. Regardless enjoyed a flight while snacking on other apps. Even got a growler to take home which I personally travel with as you never know where you'll find a great beer. I imagine this place is only busier during the summer months so glad to enjoy this local tourist hot spot while the tourist were gone for the season.

Excellent brewery! Great service, great food, great beer! Even during the busy ice castles season this brewery rocks it! Have your proof ready f vaccination ready and then step into old time decor with vintage photos, animals, love the ambiance. Check out the upstairs for a bigger open room or enjoy quaint pub tables or booths. The wings are tasty, and so was the eggplant fries. Highly recommend

Three stars because we really feel for the server. Otherwise 1.5. We arrived and were seated. The host was distant and I felt like we were bothering him. Server arrived after apologizing to the table next to us for the screw ups at their table, not a good sign. Server took our drink orders and they arrived quickly. The porter was great and the winter hot chocolate was great. Our order was taken and we waited. And we waited. And well you get the point. Appetizers and entrees arrived all together, none of which was brought by the server. The onion soup was very good although it lacked depth and seasoning. I saw the prime rib before we ordered and don't get the prime rib, just don't!. One of us had the pulled pork Mac n cheese it had a heavy mustard taste and was topped with even more. Pretty nasty. The burger was cooked correctly but I had asked for bacon which never made it. Our server repeatedly apologized and we told him it was ok. We will not be back

I visited this place during the Labor Day long weekend when I was at lake George. The staff was pleasant, everyone had their masks on and our waitress was friendly. The place has outdoor seating and the atmosphere is great to have some drinks with friends or family. I had a party of 6 and we had ordered LG IPA, Oktoberfest, chicken wings, nachos and mozzarella sticks. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed their Oktoberfest and got some 6-packs to go. It's a great place to enjoy a few drinks and have a good time.

Was in LG for the Adirondack Nationals . Seemed like a busy popular place. Decided to go for dinner. The Burger was a typical frozen supermarket pre made pattie . NOT a juicy delicious burger that you would normally be served in a downstate pub. The Pulled pork sandwich wasn't good either. Too many Chunks of fat and slathered into much bbq sauce. Not a good flavored bbq sauce either. I will say The onion rings were good and The bear naked ale was good . Overall we were Quite disappointed. Would not go back .

This place is amazing. Great atmosphere, food and beer was even better tho! I would recommend this place to anyone in the area. The brewery burger was banging!!!

This was a challenging meal to say the least. I have no doubt our server meant well, but they were clearly overwhelmed. Timeliness and accuracy went out the window. We had to flag down a server, follow up on the status of water, and make corrections to our meal. Not worth it to us to go again.

This is the second time I have returned to this restaurant. My husband and I love the look and feel of this place. We had pickle chips to begin which were delicious. My husband had a flight of beer and I had the lake George lemonade (my favorite). For the entree I had a chicken avocado sandwich. The avocado was not ripe and was actually hard. No biggie, the chicken was still good. My husband had a burger which he also enjoyed.

Wonderful quant place with a lot of character. Food was yummy - especially the wings! And the beers on draft were abundant. Service was friendly and attentive. My hubby loved the homemade root beer in the giant glass and my son loved the quirky forest creatures and tvs to watch the games and be entertained. Will definitely head here again when we are in the area!

Terrible mac and cheese. Over season salmon! Beer was average during octoberfest! One good thing was the host! Portion size was also terrible l. How do you mess up on mac& cheese?!

Expensive and tasteless food. So sad we didnt go somewhere else.. but only seating was here... thus I understand why.

Service is excellent, bar is cozy and friendly. We had Brussel sprouts and mozzarella sticks and apple crisp--all tasty!

Stopped in later at night for dinner. We had the Lake George IPA and Lake George Cider. They were both extremely delicious. For food we ordered the nachos (melted shredded cheese, tomato, jalapeño, black beans), they were good! Also ordered a side house salad with ranch which was fresh, crisp and tasty. Entrees we got we're the Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese - sooo delicious. Highly recommend trying that whether you split as a side or with your table or for your dinner. We also had a grilled chicken BLT with avocado - also so delicious! Crispy bacon & perfectly grilled chicken plus the avocado was a good amount and good quality. We sat on the back deck under the heaters (end of September) and it kept us warm enough. Afterwards we ordered a second round of drinks and took them to sit by one of the fireplaces below. Overall a great experience & ambiance!

We had a great meal here! The food, drinks, and service were good! The server was so nice to my kids and I really appreciated that. The French onion soup was great and so was the fish sandwich. Highly recommend if you're in Lake George.

Food here is really good the staff is very friendly I would say that the alcoholic drinks taste watered down and there are so many bees on the patio you'd think there's a hive under one of the tables. It is really such a nice restaurant with good views and the Fire pits really bring the place together.

The food and drinks are always delicious. The servers are always friendly. We love the call ahead feature to put our names on the waiting list. They are always very accommodating for our large party.

We dined here after leaving the ice castles with our kids. Food was amazing, staff was very nice and accommodating. There was a bit of a wait but we ordered a beer flight and sat outside with the fire, very cozy atmosphere.

I've eaten here several times, I have nothing but good things to say. The food is typical for a bar, but good. The drinks are always good, and I like that they have rotating brews. The servers are always super personable and friendly. I look forward to stopping in here whenever I have the chance!
