My wife and I loved the food. I had one of their more popular drafts, Crescent Bay, and it was a delicious, well-rounded IPA. It is clear that their kitchen cares about making quality food.

We were in Saranac for the Eclipse, service was great considering how busy it was, food & drink hit the spot, the music was all themed around the Eclipse. This is a great bar, the locals are very lucky!

the pickles and poutine were pretty good however cannot say the same for the salad - it was like soup it was so wet with dressing. the rice bowl was bland and had too much rice. service was disappointing - our server wouldn’t take our food order until we ordered and got our drinks… strange.

Passing through on the way to Placid. Stopped for lunch. Nice surprise! They brew their own beer, it was delicious. The salmon and brussel sprouts salad was excellent. Would love to hang out here in the summer

This is a very quaint rustic bar/restaurant with delicious food. Everything is fresh made. No frozen food here. Every twist on the dishes they make are spot on. Try the dumpling appetizer!

Rustic atmosphere with great staff. They have a great selection of beef & cocktails and some of the best food I have eaten. I could recommend Bitters & Bones enough.

Visited with my lady after doing some hiking earlier in the day. I was weighing area dinner options until I started reading the menu. I was immediately interested in the Thai Maple chicken wings. Followed by Fried Pickles with Sriracha ranch. Ok now we're 2/2. Brussels? Not usually a fan. But the menu description made it worth a shot. Finally, we saw the Whipped Feta app and decided this was the place. We don't need to look at entrees, it's apps for dinner tonight. Well, we should probably get a salad to make it a healthy mealThe wings come in orders of 6 or 12. They were big and juicy. The Thai Maple was well balanced, not too sweet. The Pickles were tasty. Get in there with your hands, get some of that arugula and pickled onion together with the pickle and dip it all in the Sriracha ranch. The Brussels were flavorful and crispy, I would order them again. The whipped Feta app is served hot and the first bite, with honey and pistachio, was divine. Star of the show.I'm not usually a porter guy, but the maple cream porter was delicious and would have been worth a second glass if I was staying longer.By the time we made it through the apps, the salad was an afterthought and we took most of it to go.Atmosphere was quiet and dim, with some overhead music that wasn't over the top loud. Exactly what we were looking for. I think calling it elevated bar food sells it short, but if you're looking for menu items with character and a chill vibe, this is a great spot. 4 apps, Chix Caesar Salad, and 3 beers cost around $90. You can certainly get out of there for cheaper, but we wanted to try a variety of things

My husband and I visited this restaurant while vacationing in Lake Saranac. The food was great - I had the Lamb Burger, my husband the Buffalo Burger. Prices were reasonable and the service was great. Our waitress was pleasant and helpful.

Love this place, but it has THE stupidest hours on Saturday. Closed 11-12. So when it says it’s open it’s not and the bartender will tell you with a smile to hit the bricks.

This is a good place eat and drink. Staff are friendly and helpful. I was there with three others who had the same opinion about the business. We had supper at a table and moved to the bar later. My salmon was tasty, grilled broccoli excellent. Good beer list, both craft and bottles. My Broadway one was great, as expected. Stop in when you're in Saranac.

Superb atmosphere, very friendly and warm staff! The beers are excellent, the pulled pork poutine was delicious! Their homemade fries are tasty and crispy, and their burgers are very good too.
