We opted for the Belgian Triple (Very good), and the Blonde (good). If we had been hungry, we would have gotten the giant pretzel with cheese dip. The place is like a clean and well kept biker bar. TVs, rock music playing, and a large mural of a Satanic rock band playing on the wall behind the stage for live entertainment. Nice little place.

All of the staff was extremely friendly and personable, especially our bartender/waitress Emily. I got the summer salad which was amazing. My mom got the chicken wings with "monkey boom stick" sauce which was basically a boom boom sauce- also amazing. My dad got slider burger train which is 4 burger sliders. 1.mushroom and Swiss, 2.onion rings and bbq, 3.pepper jack and jalapeño, and 4.bacon and cheddar. A side of sweet potato fries and coleslaw- everything was perfect. Would definitely be a regular bar for us if we lived here! Highly recommend! We just missed the rush when we got there at 7:30pm on a Saturday.

Sometimes they have toppings, sometimes they don't. Management lets this bar run out a lot of stuff and the only thing consistent with their inventory is that there is always something lacking. Sometimes they have a DJ, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they are open when they are supposed to be, sometimes they are not. They only true negative things I can say is the place STINKS! It smells like natural gas or sewer and the bathrooms make me want to break out a bottle of bleach and a SCRUB BRUSH. So, if you're in an adventurous mood, TRY going to Casey's, I've had plenty of good times there and some good food as well

We had a GREAT experience at the restaurant in the Motel 6 at 5920 Airport Road - Oriskany. "Black…read moreOrchid Lounge." The Hotel was being renovated (July 2017), I guess changed from Days Inn to Motel 6. I'd booked since inexpensive. We were checking out schools in NE for my daughter and wanted to check out Hamilton and Colgate. Arrived late at hotel and things looked strange with construction. We were tired and hungry and were told restaurant closed at 10, and thought we were too late to eat there, or that if they did serve something they would to it in a hurry; but decided to check it out anyway. Two guys were having beers and talking, otherwise it was empty, and looked to be under construction too. We ordered and I waited while wife and daughter got settled in room -- Food was GREAT -- Fresh and tasty. The wrap sandwich was memorable. Two ladies running the place apparently do catering business too. They were friendly and obviously take pride in their work. We were surprised to have such great food in such an out-of-the way place, at a bad time. They had some good beers on tap too. (motivated to finally write this since had just had a bad experience at restaurant in expensive/fancy hotel back home in CA; and we reflected on how we had such a great experience at this Motel 6, under renovation, in the middle of nowhere).

In other words, I appreciate authenticity. The Tavern on the Gorge boasted a friendly staff, good bar food and a welcoming atmosphere with a good assortment of beverage offerings. I happened to catch this place during a night whereby they had comedians from NYC. The comedians were very good and got plenty of laughs poking fun at the Afirondack lifestyles and values. The patrons appreciated this ribbing and a great night of unexpected fun was a much needed release for me and my wife. We will return on our next trip to the North Country to recapture this homespun experience.

Chalk it up to Upstate, NY doing what Upstate, NY does best: Cold Beer and Chicken Wings. And in…read morethis case, it should be Chicken Wings first and cold beer second. You can certainly pull up a bar stool and drop a Utica Club in a can or get a Saranac draft. No issue there. But what you really want to be doing is ordering wings. Seriously...get in car...drive to Prospect...order wings. Look, you can get caught up in wings from Buffalo, Rochester, New York City (not SF because there is not a good wing in this entire city...although at least Kezar makes an effort)...whatever. They all take a back seat to what you get in almost every establishment in Syracuse and Utica. Let's put it this way...it's HARD to be at the top or near the top (which Tavern on the Gorge is) in the wing category in Central NY. Just WAAAY too much competition and people in CNY like their wings. But Tavern on the Gorge...they get a high seat in the Top 5 category and my debate upon leaving the bar was whether or not they were number 1. Wing sauce is apparently a tough thing. I don't think it's a tough thing, but to most bars and restaurants it's essentially the toughest thing they must do. NOTHING varies more establishment to establishment than a chicken wing. Certainly there are some places trying to put their own spin on it (90% of these folks are just making a mistake btw). Not a good idea fyi. The wing sauce at TOTG is as close to perfect as your going to get. Depending on who you talk to, you'll get differing opinions on wing sauce. But in general, the diehards know the base recipe and an ingredient that can have a major impact is butter/margarine. So those wings sauces you see that have sort of a heavier texture (heavy being almost creamy)...they crank up the butter/margarine. Not a bad thing. The place in direct competition with TOTG does this and those wings are ridiculous as well. But TOTG does things a little differently and what you end up with is a sauce with slightly less creaminess and amazing tang. And they don't skimp on the heat...in fact, they dial it to perfection. Don;t worry about going in and having to order mild because you don't. If you don;t want to go hot...go medium...that's fine as well. But just know that Upstate does it's wings the right way...in a fryer, with ridiculously good sauce. TOTG has it nailed. Great place to grab a couple of UC's or a Saranac and eat wings. These are great wings. Period.
