We haven't been to Knuckleheads in quite awhile. Another place we keep saying we are going to go…read moreto but hasn't happened. We recently went to a Wing War/challenge where we sampled wings from Knuckleheads. That was destiny calling telling us we had to go. The other night we got something out for dinner and we weren't feeling it and we used the excuse it wasn't defrosted so what better excuse.... We order a hamburger and pulled pork. The hamburger was cooked to perfection. Was juicy and really good. The pulled pork was OK but to be fair I have had some of the best southern and western BBQ so my bar is pretty high. The wings were amazing !!! crispy and juicy. The medium buffalo sauce was perfect. They do have a wing night on Wednesday nights, so know we will be back next time on a Wednesday for their signature wings at 99 cents each. They have specials almost every night so check them out on facebook or their chalkboard. The night we went was an 80's night which all who know me know I am an 80's girl. Had I know I would have dressed for the occasion. This is a very rustic like bar/ restaurant but the food is good and comes highly recommended.

You did not start out as 18 and over and should advertise that it has changed. Very disappointed…read morethat 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.

While in Utica getting the truck serviced I consulted my trusty Yelp App looking for a brewery,…read morewhat pops up but Nail Creek Pub and Brewery. We sat at the bar which is typical and had the absolute best experience with Emma, the bartender, who was big as a barn pregnant, but looking very cute. Emma was personable, knowledgeable and very engaging. We really enjoy the conversation, food/beer experience. I had the tacos and hubby had the grilled cheese with a cup of the soup of the day, all was very tasty!! Beer was very yummy! Should you happen upon Utica, NY, stop by Nail Creek Pub and Brewery, it's a great place to take a load off and have a local brew, great service and conversation. Say hey to Emma, unless she is giving birth to her baby.

This is a great place to go to on St. Patrick's Day parade day morning in Utica. Service is great…read morethat day, the bartenders are attentive and friendly (especially if Linda is there). Any other time, if you are not a regular, this place might not be for you. I've been here several times with mixed experiences. The last time I was there was a Thursday in the summer of 2024. My husband, brother and I were excited to find seats at the bar and order dinner. The bartender was a short blonde woman and there was a male bar back. The bartender did not acknowledge us for over 15 minutes. We were actively looking at the menu on our phones and talking about what we wanted to try and attempted to make eye contact with her as she walked by us with no luck. She didn't even say "I will be right with you", literally no interaction. She was very friendly with everyone else around us seeming to know exactly what they were drinking and happy to get it for them. We left as we felt very unwelcome there and ended up having excellent service down the street at Lukin's.

Def check it out!

The parking lot seemed pretty busy…read morefor a Tuesday night and I found out there was a (well attended) class that night in the larger dining area. I found out that they often have events like live music and bingo. The large room allowed the class to go on away from the main bar and high top table area. Orders are placed at the bar and the one bartender working had things running smoothly. I ordered a Watermelon Wheaton beer and loaded nachos. I immediately got my beer and got a pager for my food. There were a few regular tables along the perimeter among the high top tables but I chose to sit at the bar. The other patrons were very friendly and included me in their conversation. The beer was crisp and cold. The food came out rather quickly. The nachos were topped with beer cheese, fresh pico de gallo, sour cream, and scallions. There was a very generous amount of sour cream so I didn't have to worry about just eating chips. The bartender kept everyone served and knew what the regulars drank. She checked on me regularly. My only disappointment is that as summer comes to an end I will have to wait until next year to attend the events they have at the brewery.

The place was very quiet, but I assume the place draws more attention in the summer months. I tried their John Daly, and their Transfusion. My fiancé had their Cosmo, and the ADK Mule.

We spoke with the bartender, and he said they have lots planned for the summer! Definitely worth the visit!

They've updated their food menu since we…read morelast visited and my boyfriend loved it because one he loves burgers and two, he loves options to create his own. I am the type of person who likes it already paired with what it needs so I went for an option under others. I got the bear dump plate which is their take of a garbage plate. My only recommendation is they do a princess plate (half portion) because there was so much I was full within 5 minutes! The food was delicious and the bartenders were great company. The beer varieties were nice and I actually loved their seltzer. It has no flavor and they have a variety of flavor syrups to add to it, the lavender with it is very refreshing. Their cocktail menu was amazing and diverse as well and my boyfriend was excited to get his transfusion. Overall a great spot and we love visiting when we come up to old forge.

What a fantastic brewery! I visited on a beautiful Saturday…read moreafternoon and was blown away by their ample outdoor space and drink offerings. The outdoor space is kid and dog friendly. They, of course, offer a wide variety of beers as well as wines, cocktails, frozen cocktails, and their craft sodas as well. There were plenty of tables to sit at, and they provided activities including corn hole and Jenga games. I ordered McKenzie's Pumpkin Jack Cider with a cinnamon and sugar rim, and my boyfriend got the Octoberfest beer. We also ordered a Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese and mustard and an order of nachos with chicken. Both were delicious! The beverages and food are in separate areas. Once you place your food order, they give you a buzzer to keep to notify you when it's ready to be picked up. They also have a beautiful gift shop with tons of cans to go as well as nice clothing and merchandise options. Highly recommend if you're in the Utica area!

Walked into a gated open patio area with picnic tables and a small bar. There was a couple of couches with pergolas in the back grass area. On the opposite side of the bar was a window to order food. They did provide menus at the window. Grabbed a drink from the bar and sat down at one of the picnic tables. After a little while we ordered food from the window, didn't really like this concept as you had to get up and order it, pay and then go get it yourself when the beeper went off. Luckily it wasn't busy so our table and drinks were untouched by other patrons. Ordered the Dooley and the turkey BLT, got a choice for a side dish opted for fries and tots. Food didn't take long and was good. After you're done they have a trash can and an empty tray station to return too. No one came to clean the table, no one picked up empty glasses so we put ours on the bar when leaving. Staff was friendly. Cool little spot to pop into for a drink. They had big jenga on some of the tables and cornhole in the back.

I tried a couple beers. They were both OK. Nothing that blew me away. It was a little bit nostalgic since I used to live in northern New York and Saranac beer was probably my gateway into craft beer. I got a 12 pack to go and a sticker. Very cool ambience of a very old building. I walked around the tour area a little bit. Free parking on the side of the brewery. In nicer weather they have an outdoor beer garden. The bartender seemed very busy, she was serving the entire restaurant.
