My boyfriend and I came to Watkins Glen specifically for Roosterfish beer and the restaurant affiliated with them. We both work in the restaurant industry (I am a server/bartender, he is an aspiring chef) and we've had Roosterfish brews on tap at the Ithaca restaurant where we both work. We thought it would be cool to try some more of... More

Their food is alright, no one was blown away by it and I was in a party of about ten who split up into smaller tables. Their beer is fantastic and their bar has pretty cool musicians. I can spend a whole lot of time at their bar if you can tear me away from the wineries!

We went here for dinner on a Friday night and had no wait for a table. We sampled 6 beers which they give you in 4oz sample glasses. Of what we tried my husband enjoyed a seasonal ale which had a cocoa flavor and I liked the lighter blonde ale. I had an eggplant pannini with NYS mozzarella, roasted red... More

Ate dinner here on the first night of our trip. Great selection of local craft beers, and both the server and menu descriptions were very helpful in picking which to pair with our meals. I wish I had seen the "sampler" option earlier - there were definitely a few beers I would have tried, rather than going with a full... More

Only drawback was no speakers for music in the back room. Food and beers were delicious! Coming back tomorrow for Pizza Margherita.

We were staying in Watkins Glen on our way up to Niagara, and just happened across this place. SO glad we did! The food was wonderful, the atmosphere was cozy-pub, the service was good and the beer flight was really fun. It cost about $12 to sample everything they had on tap, and they were overall pretty good. We started... More

The food and service was awesome! Very clean and quaint. We were there for St. Patrick's Day weekend and they had live music in the bar area. It's a small walk from the Harbor Hotel.

Been here several times and recently went with a large group. Typically in the past when here it seemed like they had a hard time when busy and many of their beers were out. This time was totally different for our group of 9. They had the most beers I'd ever seen and their sampler is nice as you can... More

The menu and ambiance draw you in. Both are good. It set our expectations to be at least good. But the food portions were ridiculously small. We had to order a another dinner for our kids because there was not enough. Our food was ok in taste, but considering you got appetizer size meals for full price. It was not... More
