5 Best Bars near Forestport

“Four of our party were leaf peeping recently around the Old Forge area. This restaurant/bar was recommended to us. We arrived shortly after 11:00am for lunch. The hostess acted as the greeter, waitress, bartender and just about every other position. Our meals consisted of fish fries and chicken wings. The wings came out crispy, tender and flavorful with a choice of sauces. They were meaty and delicious. The fish fry was generous enough where two of us shared. The atmosphere was rustic but pleasant and the bathrooms were extremely clean. I would highly recommend this establishment if you are up in the Old Forge area. Also it is a pleasant ride from the city of Utica. Job well done!!“

“4 stars just because the staff was very friendly, but the food was sub par! I understand everyone makes food, but the cole slaw was funky. At first bite, the texture was good, but the after taste was nasty like a package of bandaids & the same with the fish. It was a nice big piece of fish, but the aftertaste it left was horrible.... on a positive note, the deep fried chicken cordon blue balls were good.“

“What a great place. The bartenders and staff are all wonderful. The food is delicious, and although the menu is small they have different specials most weeks. They do make their own craft beers, but if that's not your thing they have a limited selection of tasty cocktails, wines, and ciders as well as non alcoholic sodas. You can sit at the bar or grab a table and order food and drinks at the bar. There's a cabinet in the corner with self-serve water, utensils, to-go boxes, etc. It's pretty family-friendly and you'll find something on the menu for your little ones. You'll quickly become friends with everyone there. Trivia typically happens on Tuesday evenings which is always a hoot.“
