I'm finding it difficult to believe that we haven't been back to DTCT in the last TEN years! I can understand the last five since COVID, but the food and beers available have always been so reliably enjoyable it just surprises me we missed out on the other five years. This visit was once again right up there with all the previous ones. Everything was solid good - service, food, and beer. I had no hesitation in deciding to order a Left Hand Milk Stout draft ($8.50) before I even looked at the food menu. My wife had a Club Soda ($3.45). She also chose the wood fired Di Parma Pizza ($18.53) topped with arugula, prosciutto, parmesan, and a balsamic glaze. I got to try it also the next day since half of it came home with us. It was quite tasty. I felt like having a burger and went with the Smokehouse Burger ($17.50). It was so nice to have our server ask me how I wanted it cooked. The kitchen served it a little less than the medium rare that I requested, but I'm generally shy about asking for rare so, I was quite pleased with the level of doneness. The patty was actually very lightly compressed which was a nice throwback from the smash burger style that has become more popular in recent years. The toppings of fried onions, grilled jalapeño, smoked mozzarella, and BBQ sauce added delicious flavors, texture, and umami. Totally enjoyable! We were so happy to revisit DTCT. read more

Loved the food here!! Definitely pub vibes all around but the food was great & served piping hot. We were sat immediately, the service was excellent, & we were lucky enough to be visiting at the same time the promo guy was taking pictures of desserts, so we had some free milkshakes for the kiddos. It was amazing! My chicken & spinach bender was phenomenal. We will totally be back :-) read more

This spot is pretty good! I've gotten the McPat burger, garlic buffalo flatbread, beef shawarma gyro, magic mushroom pizza and tenders (both grilled and fried). All were pretty tasty. Pizzas are perfectly cooked and so are the tenders! McPat burger was also pretty solid. The lime habanero sauce for the tenders is the absolute best because it's citrusy and spicy at the same time...I made a salad with the tenders and used the lime habanero sauce as salad dressing. Service has always been great and so is the vibe. They also have outdoor seating now that the weathers gotten a bit warmer. Check them out! read more

Great food and service. Great flat bread selection. Hidden gem of Glens Falls. Definitely will be going back.

We came here for a late brunch / early lunch and came across it by mistake, but so happy we did! The service was incredible and very attentive! Everything we ordered was exactly as described and delicious and the ambiance was cozy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this spot! read more

We recently went to downtown city tavern for a dinner date. Having been there before we knew exactly what we were expecting ... at least we thought we did. The initial impression was the same when we arrived. The place was clean and well put together with a friendly atmosphere. We got our menus and our drinks and took some time to place our orders. We eventually ordered the tavern Mac and cheese and the piggly wiggly burger. We also ordered an extra basket of the tavern fries as those are typically a big hit and very delicious. I got the pretzels for myself. This is where the disappointment began. The Mac and cheese had good taste but it was still very lackluster. We knew to expect loads of cheese; which is great! But what we got was nearly just cheese itself... maybe a handful of noodles. The burger was also a huge disappointment. As having had it before I knew it was pretty good. This time it wasn't . What I got was a greasy unseasoned burger, pulled pork with no flavor and coleslaw that was bland as well. The bun was soggy. The burger was soaking wet. The pretzels were still doughy and not fully cooked. They were very hard and not as good as I had hoped seeing as they were once amazing. The fries were soaked in their oil. They are seasoned, and they are tossed with their seasoning and oil. However these were soggy, nor crispy in the slightest and dripped all over the place. Service was mediocre at best. Plates were pulled without asking if we were finished . Upon returning the server seemed to be somewhat condescending . Had I not brought large bills I would have not left a tip to be quite frank. Overall I do not plan to return here . I am very dissatisfied. I hope this place turns back around but as for me, I do not plan to spend my money here anymore. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

Love the pizza here. It's small but almost always really good. If ordering takeout, be sure to check your order before you leave - it's a 50/50 chance that your order could be incorrect or missing items. read more

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. read more

I was so excited to finally try there wings ! " fire grilled wings" I was so incredibly disappointed First off the wings literally tasted like they were boiled the seasoning they put on it I just can't understand why they chose this type of seasoning so overpowering. The hot sauce they send with the wings has zero taste and most importantly NO BLUE CHEESE & NO RANCH Even tho I ordered it. Wings are suppose to come with a dip expesially if your stuck at work and have no way of accessing any. And most importantly wings are suppose to be CRISPY not soggy. read more

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! read more

Really good wood fired pizza, wings and sandwiches. Also has a huge selection of tasty beers. Always a seat available. Not sure why they are not busier read more

Surprisingly not mediocre, a thoughtful draft beer menu, a more extensive selection of microbrew cans, and surprisingly deep menu including flatbreads, brick oven pizza, burgers, salads...well, not that deep... but when the bartender puts the Met game on when asked, a place deserves a second look and a repeat visit!!! read more

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. read more

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!!

We came here tonight for food and drinks before the hockey game. We've never been here but got a recommendation. It was crowded but sat at the bar. Delightful bartender, and servers who brought our food and drinks. I got the bleu cheese and bacon burger with German potato salad, and my wife got a caprese sandwich with prosciutto and salad with green goddess dressing. Both were fantastic! Great place, friendly service, and food and drinks! 5 stars, and we'll be back! read more

This is really great food, great service and locally owned. My only issue, and this is probably my age talking, is it's a bit too loud. I was having a hard time talking over the din and I believe it's because a lack of acoustics. I know, this is bizarre, but that's my brain for ya. I remember being slightly frustrated and looking around and noticing that this was the issue. I wanted to staple egg cartons to the ceiling. Lol. But, really, great place to go on a Spring or Summer afternoon, when you want a staple (pizza, burgers)with a creative flair. read more

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. read more

Get a kids meal..cost half as much you get about the same amount!!! Paid $7.95 for a side of fries, friend got a kids meal and the kids meal was half the price but had a lot more fries than a $7.95 side of fries read more

Never a disappointment! Wait staff on their game, asking if I was heading to the show at the Wood Theater assuring I would be out on time. I appreciated her asking, drink refilled quickly, check with plenty of time to get to show but in no way feeling rushed. As always the wood fired pizza a favorite was delicious! No variety by this girl and t with spinach, mushroom, and some ricotta! Can't wait for mojito season. They make the best in Glens Falls! read more

The takeout we got was really bad. The benders looked like the photo, there was very little meat in the pulled pork and it was dry. The cucumbers in the Greek salad were old and slimy. read more

When we saw Steve Barnes' writeup on Tablehopping, we hopped in the car and drove to DCT immediately. I am sick and tired of "New American" places with the same old tired menu and it was exciting to see somebody outside of the box. They had me at "Kale Caesar" (har har), a salad made with kale instead of romaine and puffs of fried polenta pinch-hitting for the croutons. It was fantastic. The stem-on fried artichoke hearts in white bean/garlic dipping sauce were fabulous. Wood fired pizza had great smoky crust, though I ordered the mushroom which was an uninteresting topping and I'd do something else next time. Not everything worked. The burger bun was too flimsy to support the innards. And the wings, which were tandoori-cooked instead of fried, were too dry. But I am very willing to forgive DCT the occasional miss because of all their hits. Beer selection was excellent... Ithaca Flower Power on tap. Nothing wrong with that. My kid had the Shamrock milkshake which filled him up for his meal yet was a bit skimpy for $4.95. DCT is small and the tables are close together. If it's a nice day, I'd ask to sit on the patio next time. read more

This was a last minute decision and it was a good one. I didn't realize how new this place was; seems that they opened in February (2013), so they don't quite have lots of time in town yet. I was pleasantly surprised by the nice, clean streamlined decor and the basic - but not so basic - menu. As other reviewers have mentioned, the specialties are wood-fired pizza, wings (not fried but served tandoori style), salads, beer and wine. They also have some unique appetizers and put an interesting spin on some of the basics. I tried one of the stout German beers on tap - it was very good (and strong - as the waitress warned me). We started with an appetizer called "Sweet Pea Guacamole" - served with Saratoga chips on the side. This was surprisingly good...no avocado...so the dip wasn't creamy...but it was light and refreshing (and yes...a bit sweet from the mashed peas). We split 2 pizzas - one with mushrooms and the other with jalapeño, ham and pineapple. I preferred the latter - the jalapeño had a nice kick to it and the pineapple didn't overpower the pizza. The ham was not too salty but added just enough salt to balance everything out. There was only a little bit of sauce but it worked. The mushroom pizza was more bland in comparison...it needed a little something else. Wood fired pizza can be tricky....I was concerned that the sides and bottom would be burnt - but it wasn't. The dough/crust was basic but good...not thin crust but not overly thick. I saw an order of wings fly by (pun intended) and they looked really good. They serve the sauces on the side and the wings are not fried (they're served tandoori-style and have interesting selections of sauces). I'm going to try that next time. The burgers also looked really good - the specialty burgers are TREMENDOUS....not the kind that you can pick up and bite easily. Fork and knife required. Since the pizza was pretty filling, we left over almost an entire pie. I don't complain about leftovers. The service was good, prompt and friendly. I'll be back. read more

We really enjoy sitting downtown at downtown city tavern, but we recently ordered delivery and we were very disappointed by their quality of take out. The appetizer dip was just sad- crumbs instead of pita chips, and our sandwich was way more burnt that the typical "fire roasted" that we usually see. We won't be doing take out again. read more

Not the largest draft menu but usually a decent selection. Food is generally pretty good. Mac and cheese can be bland...but their pizzas have a crisp tasty crust and are definitely a better alternative. Other things on their menu are standard pub fare. Place isn't the largest so you may have to wait a bit. Sit at the bar. Best part of bar seats is when Sage is working. Great guy who really takes care of his customers and makes sure you are happy. read more

Best bar in Glens Falls. We come here to get our heat on prior to the Phish... They have the sirious hi-horsepower beers on tap which I need. Also, they were playing some live music (Jerry Garcia / Grateful Dead type stuff). We had a very enjoyable time here. Get your heat on. read more

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

This was my go to place for good wood fired pizza. Tonight however has changed all that. As i got home and opened the box I could not believe what I saw. A Tony's frozen pizza looked better. The Pepperoni was cut the size of a Nickel and the dough was half done. No more wood fire I guess. If i hadn't just drove from Plattsburgh i would have brought it back. Such a disappointment. read more

I must say that any place where you can order a shake with dinner, even alcoholic shakes to boot gets a A++++ in my book. This place is the quintessential home town place that extends out to a fantastic wine menu, craft beer list of over 20 choices from all over the country and unique draft choices sure to please all. This is a MUST TRY if you are in the Lake George area. Their menu has a great mix of traditional choices with a chef inspired twist on many. Yum, yum goodness. Two thumbs up. Kudos to the great staff. We will be back, spread the word this place is worth it. read more

Was in town for a sports event. Needed a place to meet some friends. Food (pizza) was amazing. Atmosphere was great and so was the service. Very busy the two nights (Thursday, Friday) we dined. Yes! It was that good to go back and enjoy. Highly recommend. read more

Hands down the worst gluten free pizza I've ever seen. Not even edible. Basically red sauce on a burned disc. Barely any toppings. Shame on the cook...certainly doesn't deserve the honor of the term chef. For serving that piece of offal. Fortunately I had a gift card so I wasn't out any money. Just nasty and so dissapointing. Definitely done with this place. read more

I used to love downtown city tavern... but I just sat there for 20 mins in a restaurant that was NOT busy without a single employee that made eye contact with us came over to give us menus or take a drink order. The people that came in behind us got taken care of immediately. It's the second time I've had a bad experience at your establishment unfortunately I'm going to give a hard from now on. ‍ I like your wiseguy pizza and honestly was craving it but last time you dropped it on my husbands lap and this time straight up ignored us. Sorry but nope! Ps... not the best idea to leave a hungry pregnant lady waiting like that‍ If I could leave no stars I would read more

Before covid I would say this is a must go place in GF. But the last 2 times I have ordered takeout I was quoted for 20 minutes and waited in the building after getting there 20 mins later for over an hour. Will not be ordering again until they do dine in again and will update this review Update: now that they are back to dine and stay(outside). I am happy again. Food is always excellent read more

Solid brick oven pizza place , that had much more ! Good beer offerings and has out door seating with umbrellas - we got the tough guy pizza and spinach artichoke app and split that for two . Waitress and hostess combo wasn't super attentive ... but not a huge deal . Highly recommend the little extra drive to get out of lake george and to a place that serves some good eats ! read more
