What a fantastic place to spend an evening! Their space is huge, with lots of tables and a long bar if you prefer that. The rustic decorations makes it feel homey, and the best part is you order your drinks from the QR code at the table and they magically appear. The lack of traditional waiter service also means you feel free to stay and linger as long as you like. The drinks on offer were all fantastic. My husband tried a flight of their brewed beer, and I enjoyed a flight of ciders. Everything not brewed by them is sourced from NY companies. They do not serve food here, but sponsor several food trucks just outside, and you are welcome to eat at the table. We will definitely be back!

Great food, great beer. Lacks TV to watch sports on Sat and Sun.

Great and relaxing place. Food trucks right outside provide a variety of food that you can take into the brewery and eat there. Staff is top notch.

Food trucks advertise food they don't even have, wasted an hour in line waiting for nothing.. Will never come back

Be prepared to drink all of the samples they give you for your flights. These beers and ciders are SO delicious!

Stopped for a beer. We have a large truck and circled the parking lot several times. We try to be cognizant of not blocking traffic by sticking out to much. Finally a spot opened behind the pizza food truck. Punk kid in pizza truck gave off major attitude in a threatening manner for parking near his minibike. We have cameras around the truck and are very careful when parking. We turned around and left. Unfortunately his bad attitude caused loss of business for you.

We discovered Raquette River Brewery when it was the only place open on a Sunday at 8 PM, and it immediately impressed us. The brewery has a cozy atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating, decorated beautifully for fall. There’s even a large fireplace, though it wasn’t lit when we visited. A welcoming sign reminds everyone that all are welcome, which was a great touch.

Food comes from four rotating food trucks outside. We tried dishes from two of them, and everything was delicious. Portions are just right—not huge, not tiny—and prices are very reasonable, especially compared to other food trucks or restaurants we’ve been to. Be aware that one of the trucks had a very long wait, so if you plan to order from multiple trucks, factor that into your timing.

The drinks are all locally brewed, and we each found new favorites—flavorful ales for me and a standout hard cider for my husband. The service was friendly, the atmosphere inviting, and the location is convenient, right on the main route near the municipal park.

We loved it so much that we returned for our anniversary. It was definitely worth the drive (an hour each way) and the scenic fall colors along the way made the trip even more memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great local food, drinks, and a welcoming, cozy atmosphere in Tupper Lake!

Great business. We started coming here when they first opened. Retired Correction Officers have built a goldmine! We stop every time we're on the area. Good bartenders. Place is always busy. Lot of food truck options.

This basically was the only place open in the area and had lots of people. They have several food trucks outside and we got sandwiches from The Market truck. Cuban was delicious and my sister got fish tacos. Hefty portions. We each got a beer (they have a lot so sample a few before you pick). Good but nothing to write home about. It got crowded and it was only 3pm.

Came here when visiting Lake Eaton, had been on my list for over a year and it did not disappoint. Love the cozy vibe inside and outside, the blueberry and citrus wheat beers were amazing, and also bought some comfy merch. The wings from LJs food truck (I think that’s what it’s called) were out of this world delicious. Hands down my new favorite brewery in the area.

Wonderful taproom! Truely well done and the food trucks are no joke. Their Kentucky Common Ale is one of the best I’ve ever had. Make sure you try it. The NE Hazy IPA was nothing to write home about. But that Common was on point!

We stopped for lunch while visiting the area. So glad we did! There are plenty of food trucks to choose from. The vodka strawberry jam lemonade was so good! Lots of seating inside & out & everything is very clean. The staff was super friendly and they are dog friendly!
