30 Best Bars near Clinton

“If I could sum up my perfect dining experience by using one name, it would be Nola’s. It’s brick and cozy with perfect lighting… a small, quaint spot in a charming, picturesque town. The service was great… the staff, kind. The two of us ordered half the menu, but still can’t decide which plate was the best. The combination of flavors and textures was spot on and they know how to cook a steak perfectly. I can’t wait to go back and try the other half of the menu. Highly recommend Nola’s.“

“Delicious food. Worth the drive.“

“Laid back, friendly and always fun“

“Went there for lunch yesterday. Ham & au gratin potatoes for hubby and broiled chicken with Utica greens for me (sorry no phone for pictures). We love this place. Very homey atmosphere and great food. Mary waited on us. She is excellent!“

“Went there for a staff party first time. What a cool place I didn't know about! Super cozy, dark woods. Good drinks and we only got fried foods but would love to try some of their other stuff.

Wheelchair accessibility: I only went in through and saw the back door which is NOT accessible for many. Hopefully the front door??“

“I met my girlfriend here!“

“Amazing menu and service. Highly recommend the Salmon with Orange Marmalade over Risotto!“

“Everything about this place is great. Good food, staff and atmosphere.“

“My first time going to this place! Loved the atmosphere, it was 10:30am and there was already a crowd! They had the Royal Ascot playing on several televisions. The people and owner were awesome and very friendly! Can't wait to go back.“

“Love this place. I Never had a bad meal. The staff are pleasant. I go on my 30 minute lunch. I have time to eat and drive back to work. Today I had a tuna sandwich and a bowl of Homemade New England Clam Chowder. The tuna was white albacore (amazing) and the soup was delish. Prices are reasonable. I really didn't want to write this review as I am now afraid they will get busier and I will have to call my orders in but it is well deserved.“

“Had a great night listening to the entertainment (Grit-N-Grace band) and dancing with the locals a couple of weeks ago. Good people, friendly owner, great acoustics, reasonable beer prices! Overall good time. I'm a bit older than the "standard" night life club goer there, but the good folks there were accepting and friendly.“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with my fantastic realtor, Susie Bradley of Bradley & Bradley Real Estate for the purchase of my new property in upstate New York. From start to finish she went above and beyond to ensure that the entire process went smoothly and that I found the perfect land purchase for me. One of the things that stood out to me was her attention to detail. She took the time to really understand what I was looking for in and made sure to only show me properties that matched my criteria. This saved me a lot of time and frustration, as I didn't have to sift through countless listings that were not a good fit. Susie was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market. She was able to provide valuable insights and advice on the different neighborhoods and areas that I was interested in. This allowed me to make an informed decision on where I wanted to live and what type of property would best suit my needs.She has excellent communication skills. Susie was always prompt in responding to my questions and concerns, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. Love her!“

“A "MUST" place to visit!!! Greatest Bar and Grill in CNY!! Owner Operator even Greater!!“

“I believe there's some history to this place beyond what it is now, which is a warm, quaint, welcoming local watering hole. When me and my family first moved here and I walked into "Town" to find us a late night snack., I found out the unpleasant news about the lack of options for food establishment's and especially after 8pm. By the way I learned this information out from the friendly bartender wrapping up her night shift with a last minute smoke, a guilty pleasure we both shared unfortunately lol. Long story short they offered to turn the grill back on and make me something to bring home for my newly moved in family even though they shut down for the night. They gave me some friendly advice about the local folk which over 1.5 yrs later is still true, and I went on my way and have frequented them since for a nightcap. Only thing I'd say on improving or should say just adding, would be the ability to pay by credit/debit card at the register/bar. Instead there's an ATM which is more costly to the customer as well as inconvenient for the purposes of buying a few drinks, especially if you wanted to use a credit card.. They basically give away Square ® nowadays with all the promos and such.. Just something to think about before summer rolls around ya know. But thanks . ?“

“Went for AZ If but highlight of the night goes to lovely ladies at the bar. Jamie and Iza were awesome. I definitely recommend picking up The Iza, a $10 drink made by by the same enchantress it has been named for. Trust me, for a bit of that Iza magic drink, $10 is a steal. Great atmosphere. If you head to the source for The Iza, tell her the Unicorn sends his love.“

“Great little bar! The people were awesome and wanted to show the best Utica has to offer. The bar patrons put together a list of restaurants and even provided specific dishes at some for me to try while I was in town. Excellent atmosphere and very friendly people!“

“It’s the place to unwind and sing your heart out. Great atmosphere dim Lit and total relax after work. Kenny’s a trip and his bar is filled w whatever the holiday is. !! Can’t forget Shawn On Tuesday’s !!“

“Really good honey siracha chicken wings and generous serving of loaded tots!“

“worse piece of fish i've ever had,, french fries were cold, ravioli was frozen“

“This place always surprises me, in a good way. Always busy when we visit. Bumpers for the kiddos too. The food selection is awesome, they have a variety of choices from salads to burgers. I personally went with the chicken Caesar wrap-yum! They bring the food right behind where you bowl so you can snack, then play. Our lane had a slight computer malfunction, but they were quick to fix it. Fun, kid friendly atmosphere, we will definitely be back.“
