This is a BILLS BAR which makes it great right off the bat! I stopped for a beer and dinner last Saturday and was greeted by a very friendly young barmaid who looked like she was 14 but she knew her stuff and provided great food at generous portions (I ordered one of the flatbread options and could only eat half). Being in a Bills Bar on a sunny Saturday afternoon/evening was more than enough ambiance for me!! If you're ever stuck in Vernon, NY you can't go wrong by stopping by the 3 Bastards Brewery and soaking in the local hospitality...and a great beer. read more

**Good Food, Disappointing Billing Practices and Customer Service** The food was good, and I have no complaints about the quality of the meal. Unfortunately, the billing experience and the way my concern was handled left a bad taste in my mouth. My bill was approximately $93. I paid $88 in cash and put the small remaining balance on my credit card. Despite paying nearly the entire bill in cash, I was charged a credit card processing fee calculated on the entire bill, rather than just the amount charged to my card. When I questioned this, the gentleman behind the bar responded, "What's the problem? It looks right to me." Well, here's the problem: Why should I pay a credit card processing fee on $88 that I just handed you in cash? Rather than argue over a few dollars, I deducted the difference from the tip and went on my way. It's not the amount of money that bothers me. It's the principle, along with the dismissive attitude toward a customer who raised what I believe was a legitimate billing concern. A simple explanation, acknowledgment, or willingness to look into it would have made all the difference. Good food is important, but so is treating customers fairly and respectfully. Unfortunately, this experience was enough to make me take my business elsewhere. There are plenty of other places to enjoy a good meal. Maybe next time I'll try The Bunker in Verona. **You didn't lose a customer over a few dollars. You lost one over how you handled the complaint.** read more

Never disappoints we found ourselves here quite frequently and really enjoy the wings on Thursday nights. Did take awhile to figure out the ordering process but we are old pros now. Thursday wing night special are 10 for 10 with live music. read more

Always a go to place when we are in the area. Good atmosphere, food and drink selection. Thankfully, I don't visit here with my kids but I would say it's a disappointment to not be able to have kids here, especially with the side lawn for them to run around. The service has never been great. Bartender served three people before me when I was clearly in sight and before them. Never been a big fan of the owner but hasn't stopped me from visiting. read more

You did not start out as 18 and over and should advertise that it has changed. Very disappointed that we were not able to enjoy your establishment due to this change and I will not be returning even when I have a kid free night. read more

I am so glad we popped in here for dinner! I had the fried haddock which was honestly one of the best I've ever had; super light and crispy breading. The coleslaw was also excellent. They have a few of their own beers as well as a variety of others on tap, and there's something for everyone. Service was really quick. It was busy but I didn't feel it was overly loud. There are tables around fireplaces and it feels cozy, although there's ample space. I'll definitely be back! read more

Don't go here if you're bringing your kids. Stopped with my parents and my 5 year old son who is well behaved and we were told after we sat that we were unable to sit in the building because of my son, mind you he was sitting quietly at the table sitting at the seat closest to the garage door opening. They told us they recently changed to 18+ but they were willing to make an exception for us to sit outside since we came with a group. It was too windy to sit outside with a toddler. Not to mention it doesn't say anything on the website at all about the "New" age restriction. We Stopped here as the same group last year when my son was 3 and the food was great with a live band performing and never gave us an issue. And we had multiple kids with our group last year. read more

Very disappointed with our experience today. My husband and I had visited before in April 2025 with our children and had a great experience, so when my mom and stepdad came to visit from out of state, we went out of our way to bring them here. My stepdad is a veteran, and sports fanatic and we thought he'd especially appreciate the atmosphere. Before making the 30-minute drive, I checked the brewery's website and Facebook page. There was no mention of an 18+ policy. When we arrived at 1:00 p.m. with our children, a man met us at the door and told us no one under 18 was allowed. He then claimed it had been that way for two years, since obtaining their CBD license, which didn't match our previous visit in April 2025 when our children were welcomed. After turning us away, he joked to my stepdad, "You were this close to getting a beer." Instead of making the situation less awkward, it came across as insensitive after we had driven out of our way with visiting family only to be refused entry. I understand that businesses can set their own policies, and if they choose to be 18+, that's their right. What was disappointing was that the policy wasn't communicated on their website or Facebook, and the interaction lacked courtesy. A simple apology and clear notice online would have prevented a wasted trip and an uncomfortable experience. After just now reading the reviews it seems that this is the way they treat anyone with children. Unfortunately, because of how this was handled, we won't be back. read more

We went in for a drink about a half hr prior to close. The bartender made it very clear we were inconveniencing to be there and it made my husband so uncomfortable that he chose to leave without drinking more than a couple sips. Please don't tell me we have time for a drink in the first place. Very unprofessional. read more

12 TVs, Buffalo Bills supporter, great atmosphere, not loud, several fire-pits and an actual fireplace, merch area order at the bar if you open a tab or at the kitchen if just feeding hunger and not thirst. The food came out pretty quickly despite the crown and we noticed ordering at the kitchen was quicker I just went to the bar after we ordered the food. The smoke of the brisket came through perfectly not overpowering and the meat was fork cutting tender. This crispy tender onion rings on top not stringy an stayed together as I ate them. The homemade chips we chose for the side were a large portion of crispy flavorful chips. The cornbread and succotash was flavorful with the corned beef and hard to stop eating. I must admit I didn't try the beer this time but hey that's a great excuse to come back, right? the brisket ends in the smashed were just the right amount as I forked the crunchiness of the fries seasoned slightly topped with a special sauce gravy we figured out ingredients of and truly enjoyed, melted cheese, chives and I kept going for a hard minute. Don't let the full parking lot fool ya there are a lot of spots and plenty of tables and seats inside so if there's a wait it won't be long. Only thing I might do differently is have the serve staff take the table number when they deliver to make the search for tables to deliver to much easier not looking at numbers still standing for those already delivered. Great spot good food friendly staff we like and return is imminent! read more

Believe the bad reviews and just stay away. The owner is a complete man child that threw a temper tantrum, was very rude to me and my family, and blatantly lied to us. A true embarrassment to himself and his businesses. My family and I were there to celebrate a birthday. Some of us were in line to order food while the others sat at a patio table. We were approached by a waitress who told us we had to leave because we had a kid under 18 with us. We were bummed and she said the owner was there and she would talk to him about it to see if he would allow an exception. We've been there before on the patio with kids since the signs for 18 and over were only on the doors beyond the patio. She came back a short time later and said no we had to leave. While we were walking back to the table to leave, the owner made a snarky comment to us about never coming back and leaving a negative review. We approached him because what business owner does that? He proceeded to raise his voice at us and have a meltdown when we were being level headed and asking about the policy and asking him to check on the multiple other tables that had kids under 18 sitting at them. He stated that he couldn't have anyone under 18 in the building because of his license. There is no such license in New York State so that was a complete lie. He then told us to just get the f*** out. It's totally fine if he wants to run his business with that policy (the only one in the area), but the manner he handled the situation was out of line and uncalled for. As per the owners request we will be leaving negative reviews and never going to a business associated with him ever again. read more

Great atmosphere. Relaxing and not too loud like all the other places. Great food for a great price Great people read more

If I could give -1 or even -6 stars, I would. My best friend was kicked out of this establishment with his 6-month-old baby--he was told that no one under 18 was allowed. However, there were clearly two children under 18 across from him, and just 2-3 months prior, there were two other kids under the age of three allowed in without issue. The hypocrisy was glaring, and the owner's attitude was completely unprofessional. This isn't a one-time mistake--it reflects a pattern of repetitive, disrespectful, and inconsistent behavior from the owner, which also seems to trickle down to the waiting staff. Save yourself the time and frustration. I would not recommend this place or any business affiliated with this owner. There are plenty of other places that are welcoming, consistent, and treat people with basic respect. read more

We came in on a Saturday afternoon and brought two friends that have never been here or heard of it. We raved about the wings and beer on tap they said they wanted to join us. We suggested the onion rings and wings.. wicked sauce and my Sister in law got the garlic parm. The wings are good size and cooked to perfection. We all enjoyed beer and wine and the service was fabulous. Can't say enough good things! read more

Have eaten here several times, love the wings, brought friends and enjoyed the live music. They implemented a new policy of only 18 and older, even on week nights. I get that they're trying to create an adult atmosphere, but we live in a suburban family oriented community. They could do 21+ only after 9pm. We are very disappointed that we won't be able to enjoy this business anymore. Heading to the casino with my teens tonight because they allow under 18 to eat there. :( read more

I got the chicken sandwhich don't come with chips like it's supposed to and the sauce in it was terrible. The chicken itself was pure tendon as soon as I took I bite I wanted to puke. The entire layout of the restaurant makes zero since. If I'm ordering just water going up to the bar and having to sit and wait another 20 mins just for a cup of water. Prices are ridiculous two sandwiches and an appetizer almost 50$. Ontop for having to sit outside in 6 degree weather not a fan. The servers never check in your either they just drop off the food and maybe pick it up later. Definitely wouldn't come back. read more

Went on a Saturday night,. Ordered the empanadas chicken, wings, beer and a water. The service was awesome. This is a place to watch a sports event because they have TVs everywhere. They have fire pits that are awesome. The only complaint would be that it is very loud and the food is so so. Wings tasted good. Empanadas are pretty made or store bought, no flavor if you have had a real empanada. read more

We went to 3Bastards on Sunday. We liked the food, atmosphere and fire pits. Not fond at all about the "runners" and not having a server. There were three employees standing back by the kitchen while we waiting to see someone - had no idea this is how it works. Not sure if we will be back without servers. They are standing there anyway maybe have them serve? Otherwise very nice place. read more
