Bars near Raquette Lake

“We absolutely LOVE the Tap Room! I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. My grandma started bringing my dad to Raquette Lake when he was 10 years old, so Raquette Lake has been part of our family for generations—and the Tap Room is a huge part of what we love about coming here.

Kat and Mel are seriously the best bartenders ever. They work incredibly hard, they’re fun, welcoming, and they’re a huge part of what makes this place so special.

The Tap Room is a true Adirondack dive bar, and that’s exactly why we love it. It has so much character and absolutely no pretension. I’m honestly surprised by some of the negative reviews because you have to understand what this place is—it’s a dive bar in Raquette Lake! The staff works their butts off, especially when the place gets busy, and they are the real deal.

The food is exactly what you want here: burgers, sandwiches, snacks, and rotating specials. It’s bar food, but it is SO yummy and always hits the spot.

There are places you visit because they’re fancy, and then there are places you return to year after year because they have history, personality, and people you genuinely look forward to seeing. The Tap Room is that kind of place for us.

We love Raquette Lake, we love the Tap Room, and we’ll keep coming back. ❤🍻“
