We had our dogs with us, so we ordered at the bar and they brought out lunch out to the small beer garden.

I ordered the fish sandwich with coleslaw which was crispy and delicious. The coleslaw was like I've not had it before, so crunchy and delicious. Nice place for a Saturday lunch for sure.

Cute little facility with the friendliest of bartender. Despite the number of people at the bar, she worked with everyone to ensure they were paid attention to and answered questions. I tried the stout, burly Beard, very good, full flavor. They had a good truck, Gabriana's Mobile Express. Pizza slice, quesadillas and loaded waffle fries! All fabulous. We ate all of it. Place has inside and outside seating, quiet area with games to play inside.

Decent enough brewery but not particularly spectacular…read more My wife and I stopped by on a whim as we saw a sign pointing out the turn where the brewery is. We went in and tried a flight. Everything was ok, but nothing more. The server was friendly but after serving our flight we didn't really have much interaction. I wouldn't say he ignored us, but the staff (there were 3 people working) weren't particularly engaging. The ambiance is pretty cool with a baseball theme. Makes sense since Cooperstown is home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. They have one back room that has a wall that is painted to look like a scoreboard and outfield wall and another wall painted to look like a bench of a baseball field. There was a food truck on site the day we went (looked like a pizza food truck) but we had just eaten so we didn't get any food. I don't think they have their own kitchen. Another thing that's an oddity is that 2 out of the 4 beers I tried weren't in the Untappd app. Seems like they were slightly disorganized in that way. We also noticed that online it says they're only open Friday - Sunday; but when we went in they were advertising being open 7 days a week. Seems like they have some work to do to get things more organized.

Since we were unsure of what we wanted to order, we were able to sample 6-7 beers. The bartender was very accommodating. Our group settled on Rock Cut Red, Gourd Help Us and Summer Sting. We also ordered from the small food menu and split a pulled pork sandwich and deluxe burger. The food was good and made to order, served with fries and a small side of pasta salad. The beers were cold and tasty. The best thing was being able to sit outside on such a gorgeous day. There is a bar and some tables inside but we couldn't stay inside on a day like this. Outdoor seating is at picnic tables in an area around the perimeter of the brewery but there is ample lawn space where dogs are welcome and cornhole can be played.

If you're into sours, definitely recommend it. You can get a flight ( 4 shorts and some snacking pretzels), a pint, a short (4 oz pour), soda, water, growlers to go, or wine from the winery next door which is owned by the same family. There is plenty of seating, including some outdoors. They occasionally have food trucks here too!

What a fun, chill spot! We found this as a great in-between place to meet up with family for an…read moreafternoon--just down the road from Ommegang. This brewery, originally founded in Queensbury, NY, opened this outpost in May and was thankfully open on Labor Day. The vibe is laid-back with a good amount of airman-style décor, and we were greeted by Shug, the shop dog--a super friendly Newfoundland who instantly set the tone. The bartender was warm, welcoming, and easy to chat with. Even at the tail end of a busy holiday weekend, when they were out of a few beers, there were still solid options on tap plus canned cocktails from other NY-based distillers. Food came from the onsite truck--standard bar fare but executed really well. We had the pretzel sticks and a grilled cheese with onion rings, and both were excellent pairings for the drinks. They offer flights, but since I usually stick to wheat beers (and they had just run out), I went with water and the canned cocktails. The beer lovers with me all found plenty to enjoy from the tap list. Overall, this spot has that easygoing farm-brewery vibe that makes it a great stop in the area. I'll definitely be checking out one of their other locations soon to finally try their wheat beer!

Good news: Northway has figured this out and nailed it. Building on the bones of the Red Shed Cooperstown facility (RIP), Northway has spruced things up a bit, splashed a bit of Adirondack-ia (is that a word?) around the taproom to put their imprint on it, and otherwise kept all the good bits from the previous tenant. There's the obligatory cornhole courts, space to play wiffleball, and lots of picnic tables in a comfortable, down home space. The food truck is still in place, cranking out pretty good chicken and pulled pork sandos. The only bummer was they were out of onion rings. The tap selection is great; my pal who loves IPAs really digs their Avenue of the Pines (the name makes we think of the Redwoods). I thought their brown and red ales were perfectly drinkable - sometimes, that's all you need or want. Bonus points for awesome label art that looks great on t-shirts. We went to the "other" bigger place first, and I'll say Northway wiped away our disappointment and left us with smiles on our faces. Good work, folks!

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.
