27 Best Bars in Saratoga Springs

“My wife and I stopped in for an after dinner drink. Excellent list of sparkling wines by the glass and great list of bottles. We had just had dinner so didn’t get the charcuterie but the guests the next table did and it looked terrific. Next time. Great ambiance, music and a knowledgeable host. We will be back next time we’re in Saratoga Springs.“

“We were there on June 4th Unbeknownst to us it was the start of Belmont week in Saratoga. The city was mobbed with people great to see. But not great on walk in dining. We were told it would be an hour wait because of all the reservations they had. This was not part of our plan of course. We then spotted an outdoor table in the shade. We grabbed it and the rest is history. We were greeted by Eli our server who by the way is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to craft beer. He managed to recommend beers for all three of us that were delicious. Outstanding job Eli. We shared a spicy little pizza and a charcuterie board and both were awesome. What a great experience from start to finish. great beer and food spells a good time and we will be back for more in the future“

“Awesome place! We ordered pizzas, hummus plate, bruschetta, caesar salad, crème brûlée, ice cream sandwich, cocktails with dinner and after dinner drinks. Everything was delicious and atmosphere was great! Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back!“

“This was a happy discovery, I thought it was just pub with an outside music area but it has also a newly renovated restaurant with very good food at the rigth price.

Very fancy place, highly recommend.

p.s. even if the restaurant is near the pub it is very quiet, we could have conversations without any problem.“

“First time at the Merc. Hostess was very nice. Patrick's professionalism was fantastic and not seen enough these days. Brady was our server and his spirit and recommendations were spot on. The food was great and the Sangria was perfect for a Sunday afternoon brunch.... Thank you all...delish!“

“Absolutely killer bar. If you happen to go when Zach is the bartender you are in luck. There is no better connoisseur of beer in the world than this fine gentleman.

“Beloved and iconic dive bar in the heart of Saratoga. Plenty of booze and character to fill your evening. Attracts a young and vibrant crowd.
Start talking up the bartenders for more colorful antidotes about the local area.

Kid-friendliness: don't bring your kids here, seriously. it's a bar.“

“Small, intimate bar with a mainly jazz playlist and a HUGE martini list and a wide variety of bourbons, Scotch whiskies, and Irish Whiskeys. (Pro tip: keep scrolling the drinks menu PDF). Bartenders know their craft and the area. Shout-out to Freeman on the recommendations for Familiar Creature and Solevo!)“

“I've been going there for years. Great food, atmosphere and bartenders. Wings are THE best in Saratoga!“

“Great food and service“

“No food. Snowstorm and left my mate outside. Not worth it considering you got lads stumbling out the bar but wont let someone smoking one cig out the bar, while sober.. it’s been a great bar and no reasons to hate until the bouncers couldn’t “let her in cause of one previous bouncer”. get the head bouncer tryna be careful and didn’t get a chance to chat to the lad but hope he’s well and that next one he thinks a bit more on it. Nothing personal love this place great time and great fair prices.“

“My husband and I have been going to Pennel's ever since we were dating in 1963. This is our every family occasion celebration restaurant. Birthdays, anniversaries, even before holiday gatherings are held at Pennell's. It has been a part of our family tradition for over 60 years, and I just know our children will continue it for years to come. Great meals and memories! Thank you Pennell's.“
