One of the nicest places in Watkins Glen and is in the most prime location. The rooftop has a beautiful view of the lake and the Main Street.
Bob and his staff are extremely friendly. If you come to Watkins glen you must stop in here for a drink. Presentations are great as well.

Great atmosphere and drinks at 29 NEAT! Known for the large selection of whiskey, bourbon and cocktails. Mariah made a great espresso martini and mud slide martini. Large selection of cheese boards. Highly recommend!

First time trying this place, but honestly loved it! The bartenders were very knowledgeable, sweet, and good at what they do. I had a paper plane cocktail, and a smoked rabbit hole bourbon old fashion which tasted like a burnt marshmallow (Very good). They also had a band playing, which was nice to drink and relax! Definitely will come again.

The service is not terrible, but it's also not good. Nothing welcoming, staff is more interesting in entertaining their regulars over new guests. I get it, but they could have made new regulars out of us. The wine selection is very short and underdeveloped... Who is this for? Not enough quality wines for a local to enjoy, not enough variety for a tourist to try. I ended up with everyday Red Cat, literally nothing special or unique at all. I almost ordered a water.

My partner ordered a Moscow mule and was underwhelmed with the preparation and presentation. Bartender made haphazardly and didnt seem to care or take pride in their creation.

I didnt see liquors from the Finger Lakes highlighted anywhere. Not enough wine for a wine flight and the beer flight includes mass produced beer like Miller lite, Michelob, Guinness, etc. Lucky Hare and Grist Iron are not highlighted and are the bottom of the list... it doesn't make any sense...

The vibe is not good. Its for retirees, we are in our 40s and felt extremely too young and felt very awkward being there. Music is for boomers. I didnt see any menus for food. Staff did not attempt to take our order. We were hungry but left after one drink and I don't think we will return. 2 stars because both the building and outdoor section are very nice. Great location. Honestly, im very confused by this place...

Best espresso martini + view in town at sunset!! Great drinks period.

Beautiful bar! I tried bourbon for the first time after a lengthy, in depth dive into what it is and how it’s made by the fabulous bar tender guy! And you know…I could actually drink it! Yum! 😋 But my 2 martinis 🍸 were so very much on point!! The live music was very well received! When I’m back in town for the next race, I’ll be back!!
