We visited Scale House a long time ago and were unimpressed. It is under new ownership and was a delight. The beer was fantastic and the pizza was on point! We made it over 2x during our Seneca Lake stay, and experienced wonderful service and fantastic staff all around. There is plenty of room inside, but they have the option of a patio facing the lake and live music some evenings. A great addition to the east side of the lake!

Outdoor seating, dog friendly, great views & vibes.

Lived up to the hype from several locals. The The Ouchy (Pep & Hot Honey) pizza was recommended by 2 of the servers as their favorite & it was the perfect amount of sweet & spicy. My husband got a calzone that was a mile long & also delicious. Would order both again! Lots of dogs there and tables with umbrellas to help with shade. Outdoor bar served cans & took food orders. Walked into the bar for tap pours. Kolsch was my favorite of the lighter beers / ales tasted. Overall great vibe & friendly people.

Tried 3 different pizzas, ouchy, pickle rick and Hector hot chicken. So good. All 3 had amazing flavor and good dough, nice and crispy. Great price and atmosphere! Smalls make it easy to try different types. So good!

Live music and a sunset

Best pizza I've ever had ... could Use a little sauce for the crust but the Hector Hot Chicken hit different! Super tasty! Side salad was also super fresh and made with love. The view on the deck with the sunset and live music was ALL THE VIBE! And the service ... wow ... literally a stream of folks checking on us, clearing dishes, bringing us water, food ... never needed a thing ... super attentive and helpful. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend ...

If you haven't tried the Popeye pizza, do yourself a favor and order one immediately! This is one of my favorite pizzas ever. It's also just as delicious the next day. I'm a vegetarian, but the rest of my family isn't and they also all love the meatballs. The service is fine. Friendly enough. The ambiance is also fine. There is indoor seating, which sometimes gets a bit loud, and lots of outdoor seating, on both a deck and out in the yard. Highly recommend this place for the food!

Pizza

I have been living in Hector part time for years, yet I have never checked this place out. Went tonight by myself and had a wonderful time. It's the place where tourists and locals truly mix. They have a lawn area for self serve, which means you can order your drinks in plastic cups, to go cans, and food to go, then enjoy them at the picnic tables they have out there. It's also in front t of the stage, so locals bring their own chairs and hang out, dance, and enjoy. Inside the restaurant they have deck that you can sit out side, listen to the band and have a beautiful view of Se wca lake. Inside they have your typical tables and bar. The ambiance is super cool. It set up for socializing. As I mentioned earlier, I went alone and I was jabbering the entire time with staff and other locals. I felt completely comfortable walking in by myself. The staff was awesome, friendly, funny, and attentive. The parking gets pretty jammed when a band is playing, I was glad I showed up an hour before they started, when I left people were waiting in their cars for people to leave, and parking is pretty extensive so it was surprising. I ordered a beer flight, for 12.00 you get to order 4 of their craft beers. It's a great way to figure out what you like. I have to admit, the alcohol content was pretty high in some of the beers. The flights are 3oz each. I had a small buzz when I finished. Thank goodness they provided lots of water to cleanse your palate. I ended up settling on the cream ale. But only had one, to go with my Ouchy pizza. Which is an awesome small pepperoni pizza with hot honey drizzled on it. It was mouth watering delicious. There was a ton of spicy pepperoni on it. The dough on the pizza was one of the best I've ever had. Nice and thin in the center and puffy and crispy on the outside. They had an interesting looking pizza with pickles on it. I wasn't brave enough, but the couple next to me ordered it and said it was delicious.

First noticed this place as I was passing it, and after a brief pause, I decided to turn around and try it, because they have a deck for eating with a view of Seneca Lake. First came my G3O IPA beer, followed by the Popeye pizza, a garlic pizza with spinach and Feta cheese. I usually have garlic pizza made with mozzarella cheese, but Feta was actually a very tasty change of pace. And the waitress was very friendly and talked me into having a cannoli for dessert, and it was much better than expected, so thanks to the waitress!

Patio seating available as well. Certainly a chill vibe which was great after a busy morning & afternoon. Grabbed some food from Babe's Burgers which is within the same building but separate businesses. If you like a nice salty fry then make sure to add it to the order... they hit just right!

Once for a bonfire! Lol It's a local thing. They have a wonderful casual deck. I love sitting out there. On this last visit, we skipped the beers, and went straight for Babe's burgers. They are stationed on the deck. I ordered their burger with carmelized onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. Pickle on the side. The tomato was a farm fresh Tomato which is AWESOME! It was a local farm grown tomato, and the burger was delish. We ordered a small fries, and 3 of us shared them, and still threw some out. Yes, a small is that large. They don't sell drinks at the babes burger window. We got those at the bar. They had a free water jug, with plastic cups. I ordered a Waterloo sparking water, one friend had regular water, and the last had a soda. Because the owner makes their own beer there. I highly recommend checking them out, for beers and burgers. We didn't order any this time, because we were getting ready to go on a long drive. But....Since I live there, I can confirm their beer is worth it! I love their casual atmosphere, it's a great place to go to talk and dine. It's a local place, so it wouldn't be awkward to see go there and run into friends and start combining tables. Everyone is super friendly, so if you're ever lonely or bored, it's a great place to stop by, and hang out, you're almost guaranteed to make new friends. Parking can be tricky if they are busy, but people park on the street as long as they don't block any cars from getting by. I also love that they allow dogs, on leash, and they can't beg. Common sense rules, so don't leave your dog at home. Bring them out!

Love the beer here. Truly excellent wild ales - these guys really know what they're doing and I've…read morenever had anything from them I didn't like. This is saying a lot considering this style of beer is easily and frequently screwed up by breweries. I pass through this area often and I'll drive out of my way to come here. Bake That Pie is probably my favorite offering from them so far. I bought one to drink immediately and I'm going to age one for a few months and try it sometime next year. Ordering online for pickup is easy and I'm always in and out quickly. The coronavirus shutdowns suck for everyone but I really wish their taproom was open, even if it were for very limited hours or by appointment only. Also wish they shipped to PA. The product is what counts though and it is absolutely five stars.

A few years ago I started to like beer because I tried a sour beer. But then it seemed like…read moreeveryone was doing sour beers and they are just ... sour. So I was skeptical when we stopped here and discovered they have 10 versions of sour. But then I tried them. They are not just sour beers. They use a wild yeast process that results in so much complexity and variety. We ended up leaving with a whole case. I can't say enough about the attention, uniqueness and quality of this beer. And the brewer, Matt, was so knowledgeable, passionate and interesting that we had such a good time learning about their story and brewing process. Please, don't cut corners as you grow! I would rather pay more for exceptional quality.

They were not very busy, because it was mid-week. The bartender was having fun with us, joking around. He recommended so many beers for us to taste, that I had a tough time deciding what to buy, so I had one of each. He even convinced me to take a few 4-packs with me when we left. My favorite beer was the was a double IPA that has since been rotated off the menu. My wife had cans of some kind of seltzer that was like gatorade mixed with mountain dew? I don't remember, but she brought a bunch home. Definitely check this place out!

Although it's more of the modern feel than the earthy feel that I prefer, Tin Barn more than makes up for it with an awesome view of Seneca Lake, an expansive outdoor seating area, and friendly staff. Although we didn't eat while there, they do have a food menu, so Tin Barn really hits all the important aspects I look for in a brewery - good beer, welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, dog friendly outdoor seating, and availability to get some snacks. It all creates an inviting atmosphere that I'd be happy to visit again next time we're in the FLX Region, even if we stay on one of the other Lakes. 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
