I had to drive by the battened doors, lonely corn hole stations, and thoughts a fresh draft every day. I made it a point to visit the day before we headed back home for Connecticut. Even my wife and pup had a great time. Nice friendly staff. Open air games, seating, and indoor seats if the weather doesn't cooperate. Pizzas, wings, sampling flights, and case for home in CT. Aside from the food and grog, Elvis was live in the house!

Like previous reviews mentioned, Lost Kingdom used to be a firehouse that was converted into a brewery. They kept the firehouse feel with large open garage doors upon entry, firehouse memorabilia throughout the space (including an entire half of an old firetruck you can climb on), and by being pet friendly. This isn't a big brewery, but the feel and decor has been fully modernized - I was a fan of the aesthetics. The employees were super friendly and had a good sense of humor. They also had a nice selection of beers and really large, private bathrooms (ALWAYS a plus ;-) Definitely worth a stop if you're drinking around the lakes.

I had the Fresh to Death flagship hazy IPA - which was excellent! A nice hoppy flavor and slightly fruity. The wife ordered the Greek Chicken salad- a classic dish with IPA marinated chicken, romaine, olives , tomatoes and feta cheese. I ordered the Grandma's Meatball Parmesan wood fired pizza. You can get a wood fired or deep dish style pizza. The pizza had meatballs, ricotta cheese, roasted red peppers and hot tomato oil. Tasty! We sat out on the deck in the back overlooking Cayuga Lake. It's a beautiful spot. Indoors looked like your standard brewery with hightop tables. It's worth the drive from Rochester!

It was a bit windy that day but the sun was out and the vibes were great!! We will definitely be back more this year!

The brewery has a large open lawn with plenty of tables, benches, and a variety of games to keep things lively--cornhole, dice games, a safe plastic axe-throwing game, giant connect four outside and various table games inside. It's a perfect spot to relax and hang out, whether with friends, family, or pets. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially to our dogs (they even brought out free biscuits, which was such a nice touch). We sampled a flight of their beers and tried the chicken & waffle bites were delicious! The food menu is more "munchies style" but everything we had was fresh and tasty, a great complement to the drinks. Stag Brewing combines a fun, laid-back vibe with good beer, good food, and great hospitality. Highly recommend stopping here if you're exploring Seneca Lake or just looking for a relaxed, pet-friendly brewery experience.

Great music and service, board games and just a great spot to either grab a beer or meet friends.

They also have a cafe there and serve all types of coffee including ice coffee. My husband opted for beer and liked the ones he tried and I got the ice coffee and this was pretty good.

Really nice view of the river from inside.

Their craft beers are decent, and the food really is bar food. The best thing I can say about it is that we were able to bring all the family together, over 20 of us, three generations, all in one place, all without reservations. We'll likely go here again when we are back in the area from California and want all the family under one roof.

This review is actually for Iron Heart Cafe inside of War Horse Brewing…read more Looks like they make the food the day prior and refrigerate it. It's not made to order or even the day of (which it's very simple food and only takes a minute or so to prepare, so i don't get why). There is a "packed date" on the container when you get your food. (Can't say if this is true for the pretzel though, but definitely applies to the other 3 snack items). Would definitely not recommend this cafe to anyone unless they're absolutely starving. Eat before/after you visit here. Turkey BLT wrap 5/10 Mayo comes on the side so it doesn't get soggy. Smart. Wrap was very skimpy. There was maybe 1 or 2 slices of lunch meat turkey in it, and a slice of bacon. See photo. Not worth the price at all. Pasta salad 4/10 SUPER DRY. Was like eating plain wet noodles. Probably because it sat overnight. Needs more dressing for sure. The combination of ingredients were good together though. See photo. Iced latte with caramel 5/10 Couldn't even taste the caramel. Plenty of milk, but it was just poured in.. Not even frothed like a latte usually is. It was just like drinking a plain flavorless iced coffee. Sugar is separate to add yourself, which I did not know until half of my drink was gone. Suggestions for improvement: Fresh is best! Prepare and cook meal items to order/day of.
