There were two bartenders taking orders when we approached the bar. We got in line behind a family of 4 with 2 small children sitting at bar stools, yes children at the bar. And another couple of two was also waiting in line ahead of us. The family of four took about 15 minutes to order two flights. Zero urgency for the building line behind them. The second bartender was absent while we waited to order. We finally got to the bar to order one beer the bartender said, we're trying to close in 30 minutes. Gheesh we waited 25 for a pint of beer. At least the liquid was great, a guava gose.

There's definitely something for everyone! The staff was very welcoming, answered questions, and there was ample seating inside and outside. Highly recommend!

We learned they don't actually make their own beer however they have some amazing local beers. I was excited to order a heady topper double ipa from Vermont! We took our beers outside to the patio section, where you have a limited view of the lake. We had beautiful weather to sit and enjoy our drinks. They had a limited menu but we didn't order anything.

4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here. Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more Climbing Bines was one of seven breweries we visited on our recent trip to the FLX region, specifically Seneca Lake. To be consistent with my rating scale I really had to think hard about this one because there are quite a few good breweries right around Watkins Glen. When I asked myself if I'd be willing to drive 30 minutes to bypass a couple of other breweries to get there the answer was yes - depending on the weather. The tap room has the earthy feel that I find comfortable, it has a really nice outdoor seating areas, and its super dog friendly. Although there are some better beers close by, Climbing Bines gets bonus points from me for the ambiance and scenery. It really is a relaxing and aesthetically pleasing place. Don't get me wrong, the beers are OK, but I'd mostly drive a bit to hang out there for an evening if it's sunny and if there's a food truck. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

On our Seneca Lake brewery tour (July 14), we didn't stop at the new Climbing Bines tasting room in…read moreGeneva, NY, but instead stopped at the Hop Farm. I always like this location! It is big with lots of outdoor space. It has two event spaces (one enclosed) and often has food trucks. The website recommends bringing chairs on the weekend, because they have more space than seating. One thing to note about the beers is that some are made with ingredients from other farms. On the menu, those are marked as "Pando" (I don't remember what that stands for). Wineries in the Finger Lakes region have wine trail markers. I hope the breweries will advocate for something similar. Those markers could help more people discover the growing number of breweries in the Finger Lakes.

Love the ambient red outdoor umbrellas and picnic table seating. nice bar and lots of tables indoors as well. Plenty of parking for a crowd or party.

Great day for a fun family day out.
