Lake George, NY - with 16 craft beer selections on tap plus an extensive list of bottles and cans (many niche labels I've never heard of), this is the spot to hit up if you like beers. We stumbled in for a late bite on a quiet winter carnival weekend and there were only a handful of patrons, mostly locals sitting at the bar. The bartender (and our server) Edward was friendly and kept an eye on us and made sure we had what we needed. The food is solidly average pub fare, not bad and perfectly serviceable, but it shouldn't be your primary objective if you're a foodie hunter like me. But on a main drag littered mostly with mediocre bar-restaurants charging tourist prices for tourist indifference, I'll take "just fine" as a win. I'm not much of a drinker but my husband liked his can of Copper Legend lager so much that he ordered another one to go. The location is conveniently central especially if you're staying on Canada St. or doing activities at the lake. read more

Stopped here on our way home from Quebec, and they welcomed us with a warm smile, great food and amazing service. Vladimir is great, if you're in Lake George give them a try! We had Burgers, Wings, Chicken Sandwich, Fries & Tacos. read more

The beer selection here is unreal! I've never seen so many different types of beer in one place. I had a blueberry beer on draft and it was smooth and refreshing. If you are a beer aficionado this is a great place to hang. They also have a large food menu with bar food classics like burgers, wings, etc. The soft pretzels with mustard and cheese were so good. Definitely a must to enjoy with a cold brew. I also had a cheese quesadilla which was pretty basic and did not disappoint. Unfortunately service was lackluster. They were a bit understaffed, and it took so long for our food to come out. I also got the wrong order (cheese quesadilla instead of chicken) but didn't want to overwhelm the kitchen even more. Despite slow service, everyone was super friendly and nice and we had a great time posted up at the bar. This is a solid spot for food and bevvies in LG Village. read more

Not sure what happened to this place... we have been here twice before and was pretty decent. However, this time was disappointing... the buns for the burgers were all stale... the salad looked like zero effort given.. definitely not going back... read more

Definitely a 5 star experience! From food, to service to quality to ambiance...5 stars all the way! I'm in the area with my boyfriend and family for the weekend. We found this place on Yelp and decided to go for dinner. It did not disappoint!! We started with fried chipotle pepperoni as an appetizer! It was unique and different. Whoever thought to deep fry pepperoni needs an award. It was like tangy and spicy pepperoni chips. Delicious! For my entree I had the California burger but I subbed grilled chicken for the beef. It was so delicious! It had roasted red peppers, avocado and a pesto Mayo/aioli. Delicious in every bite. It came with chips, but for $2 you can upgrade to fries. The fries were good too. Nice and crispy and good flavors. I didn't even need to dip in ranch as I typically do. Other things that were ordered included a pulled pork and another sandwich that I can't remember. Everyone enjoyed. We also ordered some beers. Everything was enjoyed by everyone. Service was wonderful! Our waitress Sadie was a huge rockstar! Prices were very reasonable for everything. 5 stars all the way! I highly recommended! read more

I'm not entirely sure why this place was rated 5 stars. We chose to eat here because it was rated 5 stars on yelp and one of the few places open late. Unfortunately the dinner was left much to be desired. The mojito was so weak it was equivalent to drinking a soda and I'm a lightweight at that The honey BBQ wings were over battered and over cooked to the point it was very hard instead of being soft and tender or anything. And the sauce was mixed with something that tasted like jerk seasoning. I'm not sure what taste exactly they were aiming for. Stay away from the chicken tacos. It tastes like broiled unseasoned chicken lathered with coleslaw. I have never been more disappointed with a dinner but after the cruise and scenic walk we were hungry. I wouldn't go back here read more

This is our second time here. The service, drinks, and food are always great. We had grilled chicken sandwiches and salads. The beer selection is pretty great too. Anytime we are back in Lake George, this is a great stop for a bite and cold drink! Ed and Grace were great bartenders. read more

Found this place while away for a weekend in lake George. It was one of the few places that were still open due to it being off-season. The staff ( bar tender) was great and took my order right away. The food was absolutely delicious and not too pricey. It was a nice cozy establishment in my personal opinion. Wasn't a huge place but definitely comfortable. Atmosphere was welcoming. When I'm back in the area, I'll be sure to go in for some delicious yummy food again. If you're in the area stop by check it out. read more

The food was good and service, Anna was great. We had table of 7. Basic bar food. The burgers were good. Def frozen, not fresh. The half salad was unbelievable. The flavored popcorn was better than expected. My daughter got the lucky charms, and it was lucky charms with melted butter which I think had marshmallow fluff melted in it. Along with wings, buffalo boneless bites and Cajun shrimp tacos. Sri la were reasonable. read more

We came here after hiking so was starving. It was crowded when we got here but the server was nice enough to let us stick around and got us a table fast. I had pull pork sandwich with sweet potato fries and boneless chicken with sweet mango habanero sauce. Both tasted good and enjoyed it 100%. The portion was a lot for me that I barely finished everything. Restaurant is nice and clean too. read more

Lake George kitchens close early. Luckily, we got to this one just in time. It's a great bar food menu with an excellent curation of on-tap beers and ciders. I had the Mango habanero wings, Bison chili, and a Black rock stout on tap. Wings were tasty and the chili was also good. Excellent bar and service. Ed was extremely helpful and accurate with our special requests. Remember to tip well. read more

163 Taproom - a variety of liquors on display - Sports Bars Near Me - Lake George, New York

The food is mediocre, this is a place to drink and once you're a few deep the foods okay. The fryer grease is the main issue. It seeps into your clothes, your hair and your skin. Prepare to wash your clothes immediately after leaving and do not wear any clothes you don't want to smell awful. read more

Our waitress April was so kind, friendly, and accommodating. The location takes dietary restrictions such as celiac seriously which was very helpful for our party. The food was delicious and everything came out quickly. The taproom has a classic sports bar feel. It was the perfect place to stop after hiking at Prospect Mountain. There is parking in the rear by a strip of shops. 10/10 recommend and would return! read more

Food was quite good, pub food, large portions. We sat outside on their porch. Service was good, ambience was meh because tables were close together and street noise was loud. read more

Food was really good however the pickles they give with burgers were nasty. The service was really great and friendly especially considering they only had one server. read more

We walked in around 8:30pm Saturday night and we were seated immediately which was great. Not too busy with a few tables open for seating and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We waited overall 20 minutes watched their hostesses and waitresses walk by us each a handful of times without stopping to even get us water. The food did look really good seeing it at the table next to us. We however got up and after waiting to even be greeted at our seats which is disappointing as we were looking forward to trying some of the beers. read more

163 Taproom - Tap list on 6/29/24 - Sports Bars Near Me - Lake George, New York

Stopped in for a snack and a beer after taking the paddleboat tour. My souvenir when I go somewhere new, is to sample the local beer. This Bolton landing brewery APRESki was peanut buttery goodness that actually paired well with the s'mores popcorn my son ordered. We didn't have much time to stay and eat, although the table next to us had some yummy looking sandwiches. The staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere, like a local neighborhood bar. Clean bathrooms and fun decor. The rosemary parmesean garlic fries were tasty until you get towards the bottom of the stack....OILY. Those bottom layer fries were SWIMMING in oil. The s'mores popcorn was a sweet treat, but there were way too many unpopped kernels I bit into (like spitting out watermelon seeds). I ate it with a fork because it was a messy treat. read more

163 Tap Room is a small place conveniently located on Canada St. Pros- great location, outdoor seating, yummy fries Cons- we got wings with two different flavors and BOTH were bland. If you need to dip your wings in ranch to get flavor, no bueno! Our server was pleasant but kinda ditsy. read more

Had lunch here while we were in town for the car show. Had a great lunch! Food was very good and the service was excellent. Did not have to wait at all even with town being packed due to the car show. Our server Wendy was excellent and so friendly . Sangria was absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend read more

We come to Lake George yearly and had lunch today at 163 Taproom the service was ok the food was ok. Chicken sandwich tasted like a heated frozen chicken patty, same with the kids chicken tenders not the best and got hard pretty quick, the sweet potato fries where food. We wanted extra condiments but the waiter didn't come around often enough so there was a bit of a wait. read more

The servers seemed to be a bit racist. They were debating who was going to serve us. One said I do not want to serve them. Mind ya'll we have the same funds as the other folks that were there. My kids were hungry so we decided to stay LUCKY them. They also sat us in the back while there were clearly tables in different sections but we clearly looked different. Thank goodness it just vacation right. Food was good. Place looked nice. Service needs to improve. Tomorrow we will look for another place to eat while we are in the area. read more

visiting town for the weekend and multiple people recommended that we come here for dinner. The recommendations did not disappoint ! It was actually so good that we came back again the next night . Large beer selection, something on the menu for everyone, and everything tasted good. The atmosphere was super chill, people watching the game and people on dates. The first night we went, it was perfect as in the food was fresh and the service was top notch. The second night we went, the service wasn't as great, but the food still was good. I got the large salad and it was huge , second night I got the smaller salad and it was still huge. overall I would be back and i can see why this place is worth raving about. read more

The bison chili is by far the best thing on the menu. It's homemade, spice is on point, portion was great. Maybe offer a bigger portion of it or put it on everything! The cornbread was also great with it! The beer selection was also fabulous! Our waitress was so sweet and personable. The only reason for 4 stars is that the other two meals were just ok. read more

Rude hostess and servers. Pretty snooty for a little tourist trap bar. Keep going up the road to Adirondack Brewery for just as good beer and nicer people. read more

I've gone here a few times over the years. The eclectic menu - specials usually draws me back in! The wings are ok. They need to be just a tad crispier and the sauce is broken (medium) should be thick and have a zing! The "Korean" BBQ pork belly tacos was missing Gochujang So I would say this was an Asian inspired taco with hoisin and sesame oil and sriracha. The outdoor seating is awesome especially if you have your pet with you! The wait staff is on point and they are very dog friendly. Give this place a go! It's worth it. read more

We love it here. The wings are amazing, but the burger is where it's at. The strawberry fields salad is really good too! As someone who likes to try a little bit of everything I appreciate that you can get half or full portion sizes. It's a spot we never miss when we're in the area, highly recommend! read more

A bunch of us have been popping into the Tap Room quite often over the past years. This year there was 14 of us. The bar itself is a great place with a great atmosphere. We have always had a good meal as well. I have to say the last few times we visited, the Bartender April has been way off her game. She is extremely rude and downright mean!!! We were last in there over the Holiday weekend for the Winter Carnival. We came in for some drinks midafternoon and were told we couldn't sit at the high tops because they were for people who (in case they showed up) were going to eat. Keep in mind, there was maybe 8 people at the bar, it was NOT busy in there. She did say we could sit at the tables. This makes no sense whatsoever!!! Then a couple of the guys were told they couldn't sit at the bar either. Again, makes no sense. We have met the owner in the past and she is very nice. I'm not sure if we will be back or not, but it surely will be at night when April is not working. Oh, and the waitress we had got a nice $70 tip for about 90 minutes of serving drinks, she was great!! read more

Service was phenomenal, the food was exquisite! We had a great experience that we almost passed up due to only seeing craft beers. The Birthday boy only drinks domestic, so glad I called in to see if they carried regular beer . read more

We really wanted to eat in another restaurant in Lake George, but it was unexpectedly closed on a Sunday, so we tried this place. The server was very nice. We ordered quesadillas, a martini, beer, chicken fingers/fries. The food was pretty good, nothing outstanding but good. My martini was very good! Comfortable surroundings and good for a quick bite. read more

large beer menu, fine cocktails (but inexpensive), friendly service, about what you'd expect for food in the area.

I came here with my family during our recent Lake George trip. We started off with some appetizers - Bavarian Pretzels, Bruschetta, and Hummus Dip - they were all good. For my meal I decided to order from the Specials, and got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with sweet potato fries. I really enjoyed my sandwich - the chicken was perfectly crispy and the amount of buffalo sauce was just right. The fries were also really good and I loved their honey mustard for dipping. The only complaint I have is about the water - for some reason it just tasted funky. There was essentially no ice in our pitcher, so this probably made it more nasty tasting. I'm not one to complain about something so little, but the taste was just too weird. Regardless, I can see my family returning during our next trip. read more

Gave 5 stars, only because 10 stars wasn't an option. Our small army of 5 was visiting from Ohio and 163 and our bartender/server/hostess with the mostest April made our trip! Amazing atmosphere, great beer and drink selection and yummy food. April covered the entire bar, dining room AND patio with ease. Highly recommend stopping by and asking for April! read more
