7 Best Cocktail Bars near Glens Falls

“I have wanted to get to Mint for a while. Not only had I heard good things about this newer restaurant in downtown Glens Falls, but I also has a friend with a severe gluten intolerance visiting, and we knew it was someplace she could dine (they come up very prominently in searches for gluten-free dining). The atmosphere for lunch on a Saturday afternoon was very relaxed, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The drink menu includes as many mocktails as cocktails, just as tempting, but also almost as expensive. Our meals came out quickly. My pasta Bolognese was lighter on sauce than I was expecting, but this was a good thing, as it allowed more of the flavor to not be lost in the sauce as might be the case in other restaurants. I had been looking for more places to visit for food and drink in the Glens Falls area, and I have to place Mint high on that list.“

“The wine bar with no wine? My husband and I went here with my parents for dinner. My father and I are the wine lovers in the family and we must have asked about four different wines that they did not have in stock. Our server recommended something that we didn't really want, but ended up settling for it because we didn't seem to have many options.That being said, the whole family agreed that the food was excellent! Fresh and delicious. Locally made sourdough bread was great too!“

“4.5 stars. Intimate bar with small plates menu. We three came primarily for dinner but enjoyed some cocktails. I had the Smoke Show ($14) with X Glenmorangie Scotch whiskey with maple smoke -which was smooth and only slightly smokey; delicious. Also ordered was Waking up in Wexford with Irish whiskey with an interesting whiskey whip- this was a sweet drink- almost like a dessert. We shared the mussels ($10) which was great. The mussels were large and meaty; we got around 17 so everyone got a good portion. The chipotle maple maple wings ($12), although well prepared was just average (would give this a miss) and portion was small . The lamb lollipops (chops, $19) were very good with an interesting accompanying mint pecan pesto. The blackened salmon ($16) was moist and the skin was crispy; the cabbage with a hint of sesame oil was a table favorite. Everyone also enjoyed the brussel sprouts with pancetta ($8). The service was slow as it was a Friday evening & the bartender had a lot of customers; he also waited on the tables. The ambiance was fantastic with the old, ornate wood bar.Parking: There were plenty of metered street parking within 3 blocks. We parked around 6:15pm. Around 8:30pm there were plenty of spots closer.“

“We were very excited when Craft on 9 re-opened and have been several times. The two times we have been, we sat at the bar and service was very slow. Maybe since they just opened, the staff felt overwhelmed. We did not order food as it took a while just to get a drink. The staff for the most part are friendly with the exception of one. I am sure it is just due to the restaurant being newly launched and for this reason, we of course will give it another try.“

“Amazing stay at the Inn at Lake George!!The rooms are spotless and cozy with extremely comfortable beds. You'll feel like you're in a city speakeasy at their lobby bar. Magnificent craft cocktails, with a fun friendly atmosphere. Best kept secret in Lake George! Make this your #1 vacation spot by this beautiful lake!“
