Good varied brews but given the beautiful area it’s located in, not that scenic. They do have flights and the permanent food trucks that serve good grub. The staff when I was there seemed not that informative or friendly to travelers. A better location and staff would be a plus.

Decided to stop in for an early lunch. They opened at 11 and we got there maybe 10 minites later. Hadn't been here before and didn't know what to expect. We walked into the building and nobody came to help us or greet us. It felt really awkward. Eventually I asked the person at the bar if we seat ourselves, and that's when she explained that the food actually is ordered at the food trucks and not in the restaurant. Weird, but ok. So we go to a food truck.. stand there for a long while before a lady inside finally says she will be right with us. She was quite obviously unprepared to handle customers, and complained to us that she wasn't really ready yet because she had to clean the fryers. We ended up not bothering to order due to feeling so unwelcome.

Excellent home bread beer, good food trucks that serve either BBQ or pizza at reasonable prices. Pet friendly as well.

Great atmosphere and good beer. But if you use the online menu to order you get to wait 20 min while watching people order immediately at the bar…. There is no way to cancel and if you ask at the bar they won’t fill it and make you wait for the one person who is doing the table orders.Also it is very loud when packed, all hard wood surfaces that echo, no soundproofing panels.If the owners are listening please take a look on how you can perfect your new space. Kudos!

What a fun place!!Indoors and Outdoors - Food trucks with pizza to go with the good beer. Lots of room - great vibe.Kid friendly with non alcoholic drinks - lots of kids playing in the outdoor grassy area. Dog friendly too

Super cool place! Had the pizza at the food truck, SO GOOD! Beer was tasty and cold, I think we had something mango, although it wasn’t strong tasting. Loved it!

Beer was tasty, reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere and people that work here. It's worth checking out if you enjoy craft beer and are in the area.

Stopped here once several years ago on a whim during a road trip. We were so impressed with the beer back then we decided to stop again this week during a family trip to ADK. We were blown away by the expansion of the building, the beers, and the food truck options. We ended up going twice during our stay. The crowd was varied and friendly. Service was good even though they were busy. Outdoor seating and live music were awesome additions. Ended buying cans to take home of some of our favorites.

What’s not to like. 3 food trucks nearby with 3 different menus. My suggestion is the Mahi Taco!

Awesome beer ? and awesome food trucks ?. Loved the pils & nils, American IPA were our favorites. Mexican food trucks was amazing. The tacos were really good and very generous with their portions.

Great inclusive spot with an impressive beer, cider, and wine list. Plenty of space inside and out, a sweet staff and great food trucks from 11am -9pm.

Would you like some local beer or cider? How about a wide variety of food choices? Well, this is the place to go. During tourist season, get there early, or you will have to wait for quite a while. That alone should tell you something... the enjoyment awaits for those who come early. This photo is one great example of where you can order some really great food choices. There are two other other trucks to order from - a pizza truck and a Mexican food truck. All three make excellent food and offer a wide variety of selections. Enjoy ?

Even though the interior is a great space, we are not a fan of RRB. Service was extremely slow, my husband and others being ignored by the bartender while another bartender stood at the opposite end of the bar chatting away with the locals and doing nothing else. Our orders were filled incorrectly, my husband was disappointed in his beer and my cider was so distasteful that I couldn't drink it. We tried a second round of something different. After much waiting to be waited on at the bar again my husband's second choice of beer was much better, but my non-alcoholic lemonade was just as unpalatable as the cider. We did get food from the food trucks which was great. We have been to RRB a few times hoping to find beer we liked. But this brewery is a big disappointment. We won't be back.

Raqueta River Brewing is one of the coolest places you will ever visit! They have a great beer selection, the pizza in the food truck is some of the best in Upstate NY, and the atmosphere is top notch! I hope I can make it back one day!

Great brewery just outside of Tupper Lake. Plenty of parking and huge indoor space. Massive bar and plenty of seating. Beers are tasty, try the IPA or the Red ale. Bartender was extremely friendly and the merch area is a treat (tons of cool merch). Head outside and check out the wall of growlers or sit outside in the summer. Can't say enough good things about this place
