If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The food was amazing, and we loved the ladies behind the bar. The vibe was great. We enjoyed sitting outside, watching the river, and listening to music.

Heard so many great things about this place. We came and off the bat the lights are SO bright. When I’m at a bar I don’t want to feel like I’m in a doctors office. So we went outside. Ordered drinks and spinach dip. The drinks and view are wonderful. The three stars. The FOOD was atrocious. The spinach dip was all cream cheese and cold. We joked that it was a college kid with a microwave in the kitchen. Sure enough when the sun set and we could see in the kitchen with the fluorescent lighting that yes indeed. It’s a kid with a microwave. Come for the drinks and view. DO NOT EAT.

Delightful craft beer-centered pub on the west side of Elmira. Not noticing the parking lot, I still found street parking no problem and walked into what looks like a hotel or a multifamily residence, right on the Mighty Chemung River.As it was rather early on a Friday afternoon, I noticed few others there for the beer. Something on the order of 30 taps, with way more focus on cider, fruit beers, and sours than I prefer, but still plenty of New York beer on offer, and quite inexpensive as well. The bartender was chatty and gave a little history lesson as I enjoyed a Wagner Valley black lager and Hothouse porter and wandered onto the back deck for pretty views of Clinton Island in the river. So very pleased to find this great little pub!

Food is delicious… but seeing a cockroach crawl on the wall next to my head was definitely not appealing.

Tom Maurer

Cool spot. Huge beer selection. The food was on point. Staff is super friendly. My only complaint was that the inside bar area smelled funky, so we sat outside. All around nice spot!

Seems very kid-friendly. Which is not what I’m looking for in a tap house, strangely. Not somewhere to go if you want to have a quiet time. Lots of children everywhere, even though it was during a weekday. Was forced out by some rowdy and misbehaved kids. Did not enjoy my time unfortunately.

The bartender and owner are so nice and personable, they support local artists and I love the atmosphere. It's one of my favorite places to go and get a drink, play trivia and get some food.

My first time there my son played there for 2 hours with his buddy and the food was excellent and it's a little on the small side
