    Spinach Artichoke Dip
    Shannon S.

    Stopped here while in town on vacation. Waitress was nice but definitely preoccupied with other things and took a while to get our food. Great beer selection though. Appetizers were spinach dip and poutine, and For our main meals we got chicken fingers, a Cuban, and a pizza and all were delicious. Had indoor and outdoor seating for the summer which was nice! Clean inside.

    Popped back in as we arrived later than expected to the area. Most of the other local restaurants were closed, but trusty Downtown City Tavern was open late. We tried the meatballs this time and they're just like your grandma would make them...maybe better - but don't tell her that. The service was wonderful as always.

    Good times at the bar!

    This is the one place I consistently go to when I want something wet and tasty. Sage has a delightful rotating beer menu and the food is quite good! The Tavern Fries are a must have. I have had and enjoyed the Buffalo Chicken Salad, their wood fired chicken wings, Tavern Meatballs, and the Pork BBQ Mac & Cheese. I always sit at the bar and the staff are quite friendly, sociable, and are attentive to their guests. The atmosphere is an old pub feel which makes you feel right at home. There is also a nice patio for outdoor seating when the weather warms up.

    This is visit #2..... first time was close to closing time.

    Well...my wife and I tried on Sunday, close to closing and they were out of some food. But what we had omg!! Delicious and a ton of food! Now to tonight. Boozy milkshakes...my daughter and wife loved them... death by chocolate and bourbon salted Carmel. Yeah well let's see ice cream...yum... mixed with alcohol...double yum... We tried their house meatballs with their crimson blend sauce ( a mixture of marinara and cheese fondue) we will be back to try a pizza with this sauce! Meatballs were sooo tender. A great way to start. My daughter had the pulled pork Mac and cheese. The picture shows it in the skillet...she has lunch and dinner for tomorrow. Pulled pork is melt in your mouth and very cheesy Mac n cheese. My wife and I decided to make our own pizza.. cheese fondue (white pizza) pulled pork, smoked mozzarella, spinach, ricotta. Fantastic! Pizza crust a little crisp (oven fired) and everything melted together to make every bite flavorful. If you get a chance to stop in glens falls, NY...hometown USA... its the old Boston candy shoppe. Redone in a cozy atmosphere that is welcoming and let's you feel at ease. Overall...o er $100 with tip tonight. So worth it. Staff is attentive but not hovering...their too dang busy to be . Let's just say they have so many more things we have to try!

    Bacon Blue Burger & Smokehouse Burger

    First time here, it's a nice little place inside. The waitress Lauren was very friendly and nice. We had the Bacon Blue and Smokehouse burgers, they were a very good size and both delicious. We look forward to other items on the menu.

    French fries

    I ordered the Tandoori Chicken Gyro to-go! The fries are pesto flavored, but the pesto wasn't strong enough and they mostly tasted like regular fries. The gyro was delicious!! The chicken had great flavor, it is a little spicy though(: Overall, a great meal, I had leftovers afterwards too!

    Yelping in the Lake George area helped me find Downtown City Tavern, as it's an an obscure location in Glens Falls that would be difficult to stumble onto otherwise while exploring. It's got an upscale bar vibe with a varied menu with something for everyone, including soups, salads, mac & cheese, burgers/sandwiches, pizzas, gyros, and some bar foods. We ordered the quattro formaggi bianco pizza (white 4-cheese pizza), jerk chicken sandwich (with side house salad), and a smokehouse burger (with fries). The food (4-4.5/5) was all fresh & delicious using quality ingredients. Service was friendly and quick, and I enjoyed reading about how Downtown City Tavern was formerly the location of The Boston Candy Kitchen, and the 1500 pound marble slabs that used to be involved in the candy-making process are part of the decor...love a place with a bit of historical charm behind it. There is plenty of free parking outside the tavern and there is a patio for outdoor dining as well. While I'm not a fan of businesses that pass on credit card fees (they charge 2.87%) to customers, Downtown City Tavern is a great local business I'd recommend to others visiting the area looking for a good and decent quality meal.

    Got takeout last night and this is what we got. How do you serve this crap?

    I door-dashed dashed the ceaser salad and was shocked at the price and the size of the salad. Not worth the money at all.

    Wings and beer were alright, but they charged a credit card fee without any prior warning.

    Now that I've been to both Common Roots, I do have to say I prefer the one in Albany slightly more…read more(but a lot of that is due to the fact that I live closer to it). But each of their tasting rooms has its own positives. The big one here is their parking lot - which is literally big (and free!). It's also family (kid) friendly, though that also means it can get very noisy. There's lots of open space available in nice weather. The afternoon I went, it was very busy, and I overheard one employee tell one customer that they were busier than anticipated. But every single person there was working their tail off. Food and drink still came out quickly and with a smile and friendly conversation. Be aware that the hallway for staff exiting the kitchen is also the space towards the rest rooms, so be sure to give those folks the right of way. I'm still going through their beer list in both places, and the list in this South Glens Falls location is extensive. Their food has always been high quality as well. This is a great spot for lunch or dinner with your drinks.

So excited to see the Marzen on tap AND we got to take some in cans to enjoy the rest of our trip. This is a fabulous spot to hangs with friends day or evenings.

If you want to sit at the bar you get a great view of the chefs at work preparing your meal. If you want a cozier experience, sit in the comfortable seating in the rear of the restaurant. Our server was very attentive but chill and knowledgeable. We got the Utica greens to share as an appetizer, a cocktail and Mad Max local beer, then a burger with hand cut fries and a chicken stuffed poblano.

The food & service was always just okay for me. I mostly went because others wanted to. They do have a nice outdoor dining area. My husband wanted to try it the other day and experience it. We tried to go there the other night for drinks but after standing at the bar for five minutes being ignored we left. Friday we stopped for lunch. We asked to sit by the road to people watch and the hostess said they were short staffed and were trying to seat people close together which was fine. It took our waitress a long time to come take our order, and then a long time to bring our drinks. Thank God we weren't parched or something. My husband wanted to order an IPA-they didn't have any. He ordered an Oktoberfest beer and said it was gross. I got a Brisk lemonade and it was $4.25......burgers and salads were $20+ for lunch. I told my husband it wasn't very good but he wanted to try it anyway. After looking at the menu we split the nachos. They were soggy and weird. All the toppings except the cheese sauce were on the bottom under the chips. We almost went to Mikado and wished we had even though we have been going there a lot. We got to watch it from our seat across the road. The table next to us didn't finish their food and got it boxed up. The hostess gave me their food and I told her it wasn't mine and she took it back and gave it to the right person. But if I hadn't said anything that man wouldn't have gotten his leftovers...all of these little things aren't a big deal but added up together kind of show what it is like here. I have tried it many times and rarely have a good experience. They have a nice neon sign though.
