Ontario House, aka Stone Jug

Great bar with a large outdoor space with games, plenty of outside seating, outside bar, and a large stage for bands. They allowed our dog outside and were very friendly. Pretty cool old bar!

Husband and I are visiting from Florida. Just decided to stop in. Glad we did! Our barmaid, Lindsay was great! Good Bloody Mary and cold beer. We Did not have anything to eat. The owner was nice also. The old building is amazing! So beautiful. Didn’t go out back but it looked really cool. Would definitely stop in again.

Sort of a dive bar in downtown Youngstown. The drinks were inexpensive. The food was pricier than expected.
Our waitress was nice and friendly.
The food was good.
Sefinitw dive bar atmosphere with a lot of older locals.
We went back for live music on Saturday. The music was so-so (a big ding for the lead singer). There was a $5 cover. The beers were cheap which made up for the door charge.

I loved this place. The vibe here and the music are so inviting. I will be back

Stopped in for lunch and a beer on a hot summer day. LOVE the old building! Nice views of “downtown” Youngstown, NY and the Niagara River from the front porch. I had a grilled chicken sandwich. Prices are very fair (cheap by most standards). This place has been around a LONG time. You visit for nostalgia, nearby friends and a beer—not a culinary experience. Bartender was friendly. Patrons were mostly retirees. There’s a big wooden pavilion out back, and they host bands and musicians many nights a week during the summer. It’s classic WNY. :-) I had two hours to grab lunch before I left town, and made the quick commute from Grand Island down to Youngstown just to grab lunch on a nice summer day.

Wednesday nights are a big favor here, as live music is available.
Entertainment features mostly local musicians, but I promise you you might be surprised at the high caliber of musicianship.
Wings, french fries and some other familiar items that are on the menu.
I'm not a drinker but I know that alcohol is available.
Weather permitting, the music is outdoors with wide open space as well as covered seating and picnic table open air seating.
If you hear somebody tickling the keyboard, go tell David that John said that he rocks it out hard.
Surroundings right around are idyllic.
Yacht club and green space are only steps away.
Go visit an institution called TheJug.
Travel safe

Fabulous live music and welcoming vibe

Very nice place, awesome historical atmosphere. Food was great, bartender was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.

This is an amazing venue right of the water with amazing views, a beautiful restored building with a beautiful bar, an amazing back patio stage for live music and an absolutely amazing crew!

I had a blast and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food and cold drinks out by the lakes!

I'm coming back this summer!

Love the Stone Jug

Absolute legendary local watering hole.

A major part of me moving to this town was the existence of the Jug. A friendly step back in time.

Great summer line up of bands outside, Wednesday open mic all year round, and brilliant for Bills games.

🎶 where everybody knows your name 🎶 it’s tough to find a place like this these days. Family owned and operated, polite, welcoming, AND the food is top nawch. Custom “Jug Sauce” for the wings ✅ home made soups👍🏼 steaks done right ☑️ Greek 🥗 as big as a Greek diner 🇬🇷 clean taps!! 🍻 this place is a Y-Town fixture…dare I say an ⚓️

Great food great people!
