Saturday August 1st 2026, was my first time at Druthers Brewing and first time in Saratoga Springs! My wife and I were passing through on our way to South Royalton VT. We were hungry, and a quick Yelp search led us here. It was a beautiful day so we elected to eat outside. The courtyard is an attractive space. A canopy of umbrellas dangle from above giving a whimsical yet effective cover from the sun. The menu is rather extensive and offers a nice variety. I ordered the Druthers Smash Burger and my wife ordered the Braised Short Rib French Dip. While we waited for the food our waitress brought out complimentary homemade potato chips along with a dill dipping sauce. The chips were light, crispy, and cooked to perfection. The dipping sauce was tasty. The burger and french dip were excellent. They have a nice variety of beers to choose from. I was curious about Uncurious. It is a New England style IPA and after trying it, I declared it the best beer in Saratoga Springs! My wife had D-light. And I honestly think it is the best light beer I've ever had! Service was friendly and professional. Turns out our waitress shares my wife's occupation (teacher). They had a nice conversation. She was super friendly. If you ever find yourself in Saratoga Springs I highly recommend Druthers Brewing. read more

We've been coming over 10 years. Usually great beers, good service, good vibes. This year they severely let us down. When we arrived we got seated and were told they did not have half of the menu. We ordered what we could, and shortly after placing the order they returned saying they did not have most of what we ordered. Had they been apologetic, or acknowledged that they were so short on food before we sat, I would be more understanding. They were unapologetic, not understanding about our frustration, and even suggested that we go elsewhere. Disappointing and likely not returning. read more

Made lunch reservations and were seated on time. Merve was our server - friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Typical brewery setup with an inviting outdoor area, and ample indoor seating space with TV's near the bar to enjoy live sports and good beer! Our table tried a few of their beers, Saratgoa Vibes being the favorite. Food order consisted a pretty cheesy Buffalo Chicken Dip ($17), Parmesan and Rosemary House Fries ($12), and Mexican Street Corn Dip ($16). Nashville Hot Chicken & Pickle ($23) was a good portion of pizza to share amongst 4 adults. Grilled Veggie ($17) on their house baguette lacked seasoning. They were just grilled veggies and the chimichurri couldn't add much taste to it. Can definitely use improvement. Service was spectacular all throughout and food arrived within 15-mins of placing the order! Highly recommend this place for comfort food, live sports, and of course - Beer! read more

Came here for lunch. Great pizza and salad! Lots of beer options too that they brew in house. It's a super cute vibe outside for outdoor dining. Service was great and fast. read more

We had a good first visit at Druthers on a Friday afternoon on the way to Montreal. You enter through a cute short alley way into a courtyard covered with vibrant umbrella. They had plenty of outside and inside seating. We decided to eat outside as the weather was perfect for it. We planned ahead to go eat here without making any reservations and we got seated quickly as we got there just minutes after opening. There's street parking everywhere and also a parking garage not too far. We ended up getting a Mac&cheese flight, bang bang shrimp, corn dip and they had given up chips with a pickle dip complimentary all to share. Everything elwas delicious. I wish we had room for dessert. read more

Happy stumble on - on a perfect fall Saturday. We were going to a competitor but didn't realize they were having their Oktoberfest event. (We were in Albany for a sporting event). While I wouldn't call the property "a brewery" the beer was above average. The overall vibe was more gastropub/ sports bar. Scott, the bartender/ our waiter was fantastic. Great customer service, inputs and company ambassador. The potato chips and dip is a phenomenal idea. The Wings portion was huge. All the food we saw being shipped out looked great. read more

Ambiance: Definitely smaller inside than I expected, but super cozy. It has a dark, moody vibe that works well. The patio, which is right off Main Street in Saratoga, is very large and beautiful. I'm sure this place really shines in the summer. Service: 10/10. No complaints at all! Attentive and friendly throughout. Drinks: I'm not usually a cider person, but I ordered the cider donut cider and oh. my. gosh. It was incredible! Tasted exactly like an apple cider donut. Food: We ordered the mac and cheese, grilled cheese with tomato soup, and fries. Everything was good and came out hot, which is always a win. read more

We had a great time! This place came highly recommended by friends and we're so glad we came. The food was awesome! Some very unique combos. The staff was very attentive and the service was great. We sat indoors, but in a high top by the bar and the window, so we enjoyed the AC while getting to see the really cool umbrellas display over their outdoor seating. Definitely a must-try when you're in Saratoga! read more

I was able to make a reservation before a busy concert at SPAC and I was so glad I did. I got the BBQ Mac and cheese and it was delicious. I loved the coleslaw on top. They also have a fantastic selection of beers and cocktails. I opted for a lighter pink lemonade shandy and it was perfect. Our table was inside, but they have a cute patio area in front where live music was playing. It was busy but didn't feel crowded and our server was very friendly. I'd love to go back next time I'm in Saratoga! read more

Boo hoo ... after dinner at the Coat Room Druthers would not seat us for drinks only. We were a party of 6 with two 18 year olds. They had open tables and still turned us away. They lost out because the Adelphia Hotel welcomed us with open arms and we had 6 cocktails & enjoyed our experience.. the manager that turned us away .. sad for you & your staff that missed out on revenue and tip. read more

Stopped in for a quick beer while exploring the streets of Saratoga. The outside courtyard nestled between buildings invited us in. Their beer was delicious. We had Oktoberfest and Saratoga Vibes. The three of us split the fish tacos - one each. They were also delicious and came out fast. Definitely recommend and will return. read more

Druthers has a really fun atmosphere. Busy place so definitely need reservations, and parking is hard to come by with it being located on Broadway. We went on a weekend night and the patio was beautiful and had live music. On the inside you can see the brewing tanks on the second floor. The service was a bit slow if i'm being honest, but very friendly. We didn't love the street corn dip but both the watermelon poppy seasonal salad and the buffalo chicken egg rolls were exceptional! I'm not a beer fan but I thought the mango sour was very refreshing. read more

We came to Druthers for dinner on our first night in Saratoga Springs and it gave us a great introduction to this town! There is a beautiful, quaint, dimly lit outdoor area you can sit right as you walk in. It had been raining and was a little humid so we opted for an inside seat. We enjoyed a couple delicious cocktails and after much debate (mainly between shrimp tacos and the loaded grilled cheese) we went for the loaded grilled cheese. It had pulled chicken, bacon, and of course plenty of cheese! If we had more time we certainly would've come back for the shrimp tacos! Druthers is absolutely worth checking out on your visit to Saratoga Springs. Sidenote: The entrance is slightly hard to see from the street if you're driving and going to park on Broadway. My advice: trust your GPS! Just park when it tells you "you've arrived" and you'll see it. read more

During a recent trip to Saratoga my partner and I checked out this spot based on a recommendation. We arrived to a packed and lively restaurant. Definitely seemed like the place to be on a Friday night. We put our names on the list for a 45 minute wait for a table, and headed to the bar. At the bar we opted for the street corn dip, and two drinks while we waited. Cool as a cuke cocktail for me and an uncurious beer for my partner. I was instantly pleased with my cocktail and the street corn dip when they arrived. About 35 mins later our table was ready and we were seated. We quickly perused the menu and placed orders for meatballs, two flatbreads (meatball and monkey bread mix), another cool as a cuke for me and a happy rum punch for my partner. The food arrived quickly and tasted as good as it looked. We ate what we could and left some room for dessert. For dessert we chose the chocolate chip cookie skillet to share. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves, the food and service. This is a must try when in the area and a spot I can't wait to try again! read more

The outdoor table was not clean. Items of food and paper were wedged in the skates. The waiter dumped drinks into the plants near our table which I thought was totally disgusting. The food was mediocre at best. I would not recommend or return to this location. read more

We've been to Druthers before but it had been a while, so we wanted to give it another try. Druthers is on Broadway and has a lot of seating, including nice outdoor seating. I remember that they had good food. We got the beer cheese dip and it was good. However, their beers are not to our liking. I would recommend folks go to Whitman Brewing instead, which only a 6-minute walk away. read more

This place is awesome. It is huge and has so many different places to sit. There is a big outdoor space, multiple inside areas and a huge bar. We tried multiple different drinks and a couple snacks from the app menu and everything was really good. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super friendly and helpful. If you are on broadway and looking for a fun place to duck away from the shopping this is it. read more

shrimp tacos are good and there are very cool decorations. I like this restaurant a lot.

Came here with my friends, who are local and wanted to take us to their favorite spot in Saratoga. Everything was awesome. Wings, milkshakes, fries, burgers, even the kids Mac and cheese. read more

Ambled into Druther's on a Saturday evening. I ordered the fish 'n' chips basket, which was quite good. Cod was cooked tender, but had no seasoning.. Its brewery has a strong beer list: both Old World and US styles. Guys that were working the bar don't speak with each other, or customers. Ambience is rustic and wholesome. It isn't haute cuisine - but you'll find a seat. Good for football games! Review: 4 read more

We had great beers and a very good pizza at the bar in Druthers Brewing. Baseball and racing on easy to see screens too.

Visited the Saratoga Springs location on July 4th. The service was friendly and the free potato chips and dip are good. My husband had the fish and chips which was good. I had the mac & cheese which I do not recommend. It has absolutely no cheese flavor. I know cheese is expensive but c'mon. It's served in a skillet but I don't think it's baked in the skillet because there are no brown crusty parts on the edges and the bread crumbs on top aren't brown. The vibe at the place is pretty chill. read more

It was nice inside. That's about it. Waitress was short with us and definitely didn't want to be there. Food was dry and flavorless, table was filthy along with the glassware and tableware. The drink I ordered was so overpowering with liquor that I couldn't take more than a sip and wasted 15 bucks. Over hyped for influencer type people I'm pretty sure. Only upside was the live music was pretty good. Definitely won't be back. read more

Great food and service! Myself and two other mom friends + 3 babies stopped by on a Friday afternoon before Dave Matthews (busy day in Saratoga) and were seated immediately and taken very well care of. Server was amazing and attentive, and food was great. read more

This past Sunday we ate at Lago by Druthers on Saratoga Lake. We have been here several times before and as always the experience was fabulous. Megan our server was excellent, kind, and attentive. We met Rachel the manager. She is so kind and considerate and always ready to please everyone. We were greeted with a free starter of crispy chips and dip, I told her the definition of customer service is getting something you didn't expect. When you have great leadership at the top your employee's will emulate that style of service and leadership. The food is always great, and the beer and the view, Will be returning soon.... read more

This place is absolutely worth a visit! The food was fantastic, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I especially loved the thoughtful decorations and cozy ambiance. When you walk in, your first instinct might be to sit indoors, but trust me--outside is the way to go. They've set up heaters around the edges, so it's warm and comfortable even on cooler days. Plus, it's quiet enough to have a nice conversation without any distractions. I had their burger, and it was delicious--juicy, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. My friends ordered salads, which were generously portioned and beautifully presented. Parking is street-side, which adds to the charm of the experience. Overall, this spot is perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or a casual date night. Highly recommend! P.S. great area to go shopping after.... read more

Walking around downtown Saratoga Springs a few hours before a concert at SPAC, some family and I wanted to sit down and grab a beer. We saw the cool gate for Druthers Brewing Company and after reading a couple articles and reviews, we sat at the bar and enjoyed a couple tasty brews! We walked in around 2pm on a Monday and were able to grab a couple chairs at the bar right past the host station. Walking towards the main entrance past the cool looking gate showed off plenty of outdoor tables. Inside was pretty large with a few bars to sit at and had a great view of their brewing tanks a floor above behind glass cut with their branding. The bartender came right over and gave us a menu to look at. He was friendly and did a good job checking on us and keeping our glasses full. We were going to grab a flight of six (!) but saw their cans and wanted to try those instead since they could not be included in their flights. And we thought six, five ounce pours would be a little too much for us, at least at that point of the day. haha We grabbed two beers each. I started with Horseplay (Blonde), which is a golden-blonde base beer brewed with a blend of Whistling Kettle's Peach teas. This was excellent, very easy to drink like a typical Blonde but had a nice finish of Peach flavor. For my second beer, I ordered their Key Lime Time (Sour Ale), which is a key lime pie inspired sour ale using graham cracker in the mash, lactose, lime peel and lime juice in the boil, then conditioned on lime purée and vanilla after fermentation. Of the two beers I ordered, this was my favorite! It was very much like a piece of (spiked) pie in a can. I could taste the graham cracker and the vanilla at the end of each sip. The prices for our beers were very reasonable for the quantity and quality. Druthers Brewing Company is definitely a cool brewery in downtown Saratoga Springs! I would have no problem coming back for a drink, taking a break from exploring the shops downtown. read more

Solid place! I went here twice while visiting Saratoga. Initially we were going to sit and eat (party of 3) at a regular table before meeting with a bunch of friends (wait was ~40 min at 4-5 PM on a Saturday), but we opted to sit in the bar area instead when we saw there were some seats open. We had about 15 people join us to watch the baseball game and we were able to get seats for most. Great place to watch sports, get good food + drinks. Food: I cant remember a time I was ever impressed with boneless wings but their boneless wings are GOOD. Something about them gives them the right amount of crisp. I didn't try much else but definitely recommend the boneless wings :) I tried the buffalo and mango habenero. I prefer the buffalo but if you like a lingering spice the mango habenero would be the way to go. I did notice there was live music in the outdoor patio, that was pretty cool. I also saw a lot of families here so seems a great place for all ages. read more

Excellent service by Danny. Yummy homemade veggie burger (blackbean and quinoa). Not spicy; loved the taste. I had this with field greens (which I requested undressed). I would return and have this again. Husband did not love the mac and cheese. Said it was more creamy than cheesy; too rich; and had too much ranch dressing which was a recipe he disliked. It was a humongous portion; order this dish if you have people to share it with. My iced tea was perfect and hubby enjoyed his ale. We had a very comfortable booth inside read more

Classic brewery vibe & food, with a neat half outdoor twist. One of the biggest flights I've had, with the ability to try sours, ipas & more classics! We always get wings, I LOVED the amount of sauce. We all got tacos, they were full & tasty, perfect side to beers. I'm sure it's a fan favorite with the track nearby, I would absolutely recommend for a good lunch or group, even if you don't drink read more

Their Beers are always great. The food's good. But their service is absolutely abysmal!!! Backstory: I was put on a waitlist a few minutes before 6pm, and was told, "it would be a 25 minute wait." I said that we were a party of 4 and could dine either inside or outside, for the first available in our time-slot with our reservation. Fast forward 50 minutes later... still no table. So, I checked my reservation online and it said I had a Zero minute wait. Great! So, I approached the host stand and inquired. "Nothing yet, but very soon." I was kinda floored. The reservation systems (Rezy, Next Table, etc.) are pretty accurate. After being deflated, I called Cantina and put in a reservation in for :30 minutes, as a failsafe. Just in case, as we ALL were getting hungrier and hungrier. After an HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES, we walked across the street and were immediately seated. I received a Notification that out table was ready when we already had drinks and appetizers, literally. DRUTHERS, GET A Service Manager, a Dining Room Captain and CUT THE DEAD WEIGHT THAT'S COSTING YOUR BUSINESS THOUSANDS!!! I won't be back. Unless I'm going directly to the Bar when they open and avoiding the amateur hour, which seems to be commonplace here... read more
