So here's the deal. Wineries and restaurants close crazy early in the finger lakes region! And this year, the problem was further exacerbated due to the pandemic. So my husband and I were frantically looking for a restaurant that would be open at 5-6pm on a weekday and stumbled into this place and that was probably the best decision we made that day! :) This place has a super chill vibe and AMAZING pizza. Trust me, it was the best pizza I had had in a long time. The beers were also good and they had a large selection available but I'm not a huge beer drinker and was happy to stick to my wit beer. They had outdoor seating and limited indoor seating and even though the place was busy, we felt comfortable given the distance they had maintained between tables. Like most places in the finger lakes region, this place has amazing lake views. Would love to go back, snag an outdoor table, get a huge pizza and watch the sun go down! read more

Beautiful views, good brews and amazing meatballs! We had a great meal at this casual and welcoming spot along the East side of lake Seneca. The margarita pizza was delicious. read more

Just go there and get the meatballs!!! We didn't sample beer we were full of wine. Next time. Totally worth your end of day!

Jen went above and beyond, the old world pizza is one of, it not the best pizzas I have ever had! They even brought us some cannoli's down the street at a different distillery. Honest, one of the best experiences we have ever experienced. read more

Great pizza and beer! Best pizza ever: we had a Pickle Rick, pickles and bacon; definitely recommend!!

This place was great! We stopped here as we were on a road trip over the holidays. The Lake Monster Lager is excellent. They also offer table service which is great for lunch! Also a beautiful outdoor space with picnic tables and a view of the lake. Highly recommend! read more

First time visiting the Finger Lakes, and the Scale House Brewery was a must-try. The view is amazing! We ordered the Margherita Pizza and a Cannoli- Both were delicious. Our favorite beer was the Peanut Butter Stout. I would definitely come here again! read more

Excellent pizzas but not too much else to choose from. If you are not a fan of pizza, this is not a place for you. We came here to grab an early dinner before heading off to another winery for the sunset views and drinks. The pizza was great. My husband had the pepperoni. I opted for a plate of meatballs. They were big and you get 5 of them. I wished they came with pasta. That would have definitely sealed the meal. I also got a caprese salad which did not look that appetizing as the tomato looked brown but actually tasted excellent. I have to say though the wait times for food were long. It definitely got crowded and the staff were not masked (take note if you still care about covid). All in all we had a great meal. read more

Just okay- the beer is decent but the service could do with being improved. Good happy hour specials should bring people in but lack of attention to their customers is a problem. read more

This is frozen pizza. They do not have a brick oven! Service was mediocre at best. Same on the beer ! Also all of the produce should be local given the area of the restaurant. Very disappointed . read more

All I have to say is yum! My husband loves the beer and I love the pizza. I prefer sours, and I haven't had a bad sour their yet. The pizzas are why I truly enjoy going, however. Our favorites have been the cheeseburger, meat lovers, and chicken bacon ranch. The cheeseburger comes in at number 1 for me! Definitely give this place a try if you are in the area. read more

Surprisingly the peanut butter and cannoli dark beers were one of the best we've ever had. The meatball tunnel and chicken quesadillas were very tasty. And the view from the table on the lawn was amazing. I would highly recommend. read more

Great place on Seneca Lake!! Fun staff takes care of you as fast as possible no matter how many people are there. The pizzas are fabulous!! We ordered a margarita pizza to die for as well as a veggie and a cheese. Our table was super happy with all of our food. The beer was also a WIN!! We make Scale House our meal stop every visit to the lake. read more

Very cool vibing restaurant and brewery. The pizza will completely exceed your expectations!! My family ordered a variety of personal pizzas and we shared a beautiful antipasto salad. The mini cannolis were a perfect after dinner dessert. read more

Great pizza and beer with a fantastic view! Our server was fun and upbeat. Had a hazy IPA and it was amazing!

Very personable! Good beer! Great good! We where out of town and they had great recommendations on where to go and the best places around. Highly recommend! Will be back. read more

We stopped here for lunch before a wedding and really enjoyed this spot. Great view of the lake from the patio. The service was excellent. We had a personal pizza and a calzone. The calzone was huge. Really nice mix of cheeses, sauce and toppings. Also enjoyed the Summer IPA beer. read more

We walked in and were told to put our name on a waitlist and we would be next. Watched not 1, but 3 tables get seated before us. When we asked the hostess if she forgot about us, she was like "what?" and then said "oops sorry. I have a table for you". We were a party of 3 and she sat us at a 2-top. The table was not ideal for that as the third person has to sit sideways. So she didn't really have a table for us - we saw that table empty when we arrived. By now 30 minutes had gone by. Our waitress was prompt and took our order, we ordered one salad to start with. After waiting for 30 more minutes, and watching TWO tables who got seated after us get salads and meatballs, we walked out. Not only forgotten once, but twice! We are locals and have frequently been here. We will never return. Not that they care if we come back or not. read more

Mary Helen was our server. She wasn't a very good waitress. Her customer service lacked a lot. My sister, my brother in law and I got there waiting for 20 minutes for an outdoor space. Decided to sit inside. We ordered our pizzas and waited 40 mins till it even arrived. She needs more training. My sister had to go up to her to find out where was our food. That's ridiculous to have to wait that long! Pizza doesn't take that long. After 40 minutes the whole time it was sitting at the corner. It was half cold and warm. There was other customers ahead and behind us, they sat for 15-20 minutes and received their pizza before us. She should have been courteous to us by telling us sorry for the wait and or offer the outdoor seating to us when it became available. The seating indoors just felt like a cafeteria. The pizza wasn't as expected. When you're very hungry and you get bad service your whole mood changes entirely. She just didn't offer any refills of water. She definitely was distracted speaking to other patrons and completely ignored us. read more

Came in 15 minutes before closing and they were really nice . About 7 beers on draft. Peanut butter was excellent! They have food , meatballs looked good. Music was low enough you can have a conversation. Lindsey was an awesome server ! She was always two steps ahead of us. They have flights. Place is clean . Bathroom was really clean. read more

The Peanut Butter Stout is the sole reason for coming to here, which was absolutely delicious! We decided to stay for dinner, ordering the caprese salad and the bowl of meatballs. All was fantastic, flavorful and definitely shareable. We were also given free cannolis. read more

Great little brewery. Loved the pumpkin ale and meatball tunnel. Great meal after hiking.

I came in today with my dad. I love the boat house look to it. Every beer I picked I really liked. Homemade pizzas. I'll definitely will be back! read more

We had the meatballs. They were delicious. Tried the Peanut butter Stout it was very good. The service was outstanding.

Enjoying my brothers birthday with my family (whom i rarely see in one place) Music was great and beautiful weather. We paid for 3 pizzas and beer with cash throughout our time there so no there was no tab for our group. Once saying our goodbyes my father began to walk to the parking lot where he was rudely/aggressively stopped by a waitress with blue shirt and purple leggings accusing him of a tab he didn't settle for one pizza and four drinks she was looking for a "henry" which was his name however this was not his tab embarrassed a flustered he gave her 40 dollars for the 33 dollar tab. After leaving and accepting this my sister in-law whom started the original tab went to the waitress and calmly explained this tab was not his and we had paid for everything in advance. With rude response the waitress says well who's tab is it which is not our responsibility to know that. After being rude and dismissive they finally figured out who's tab it was and it did not belong to us. The waitress proceeded to say so do you want your 33 dollars back with attitude and sarcasm and talking about us with other co workers who proceeded to stare. Which mind you we gave her forty. We will not be returning Which is unfortunate as we did enjoy the music and atmosphere. What a embarrassing and awful experience. 7/16 read more

OMG. This Pizza! Simple menu consisting mainly of gourmet pizzas, quesadilla's and panini's. No fried foods (french fries, etc). No dessert. No liquor. Smaller place but can easily accommodate 1-2 larger parties indoors. Given the size, this place can get loud. Outdoor seating available overlooking Seneca Lake during the day time hours. Gourmet pizzas are simply delicious. I split a pineapple pizza with the boyfriend and ordered a side (half) salad and was too full to grab dessert elsewhere. Ingredients were very fresh and flavorful. crust is neither thin nor thick, basically in the middle. Outer edge/crust was very thick. Regarding their craft beers, I'm not much of a fan. I won't go into detail much about this because craft beer preferences vary greatly from person to person. Despite myself not being a fan, I'd hate to give a negative review over something that's actually a Grade A product. Out of the beers I tasted in my flight, the Peanut Butter stoudt was the best. But seriously, come here to try the pizza. So many options to choose from. There are three big TVs to watch sports on. Not a beer fan? The only other beverage options are water, soda and 3-4 wines. read more

Based on service this place was a huge disappointment. I asked for tomatoes to be added to the pizza but came out with none. I asked for a side of chips which never came as well. The server never noticed or acknowledged the mistakes and by the time we got the food I did not feel mentioning them. We only saw our server when the food came and again for the bill but that was it. The pizza came out warm at best. She even put another table on our card! Very disappointed!!!! I'd rather eat at the Arby's 15 minutes down road. read more

Excellent pizza but the meatball tunnel is the best. Great service and very friendly atmosphere.

Was recommend to try out their pizza so we did try at lunch time. We sat down for 20 mins before being acknowledged. Gave our order and waited another 40 mins for the food.... well that never came out. We went up to pay for the cider and they asked what we ordered and check in the kitchen. It wasn't fired they said, a pizza and quesadilla does not take much to make. They compensated the drinks. Don't stop in if you want food within a hour. There are many other places that will serve you in a timely manner. read more

We visited the Scale House several times this season. Even if they say there is a longer wait they truly try to accommodate your party. The service has been impeccable and the food is delicious. Features local wines and their own beers, which are highly recommended. read more

Great beers.... with the best pizza I've had in a long time! Next trip I want to try the meatballs! I'm not really a big beer drinker but I love the Peanut Butter Stout. Great atmosphere inside & out. Friendly workers make it a great spot to go. read more

I decided to give this place another chance because several of my friends said it was really good. And I have to say, that it was much better than on my first visit. I would say it is definitely as good as Jerlando's pizza in Watkins Glen. read more

What a great new addition to the Grapehounds wine tasting with Greyhounds event the end of July! We've been attending Grapehounds with our dogs for about 10 years, and are always excited to see new wineries and breweries participating. This brewery is in a familiar location, as there have been several different businesses here over the past few years. I think they are a perfect fit. Usually, places that serve food don't permit us to bring the dogs inside, but for whatever reason, Scale House does. This might be a deterrent to some people---after all, not everyone is a dog lover, especially when they are eating. But for us, it was great. And maybe it was just for our event? Not sure. They were super crowded when we came in, and the noise level is high, but it cleared out a bit in about 15 minutes. It's a nice, large area, with high top tables. They also have a deck overlooking Seneca Lake. We were seated quickly, and given menus fairly quickly. Our server was very helpful and friendly. We ordered a tasting of 4 beers---a reasonable $8---and 2 personal pizzas. We liked every beer we tasted! We had the Dirty Blonde, India Pale Ale, Ivy League, and best of all, the Peanut Butter Stout! They had Chocolate Stout as well, but I'd never seen a peanut butter one. I'm so glad I tried it! This may not be for everyone, but I loved it---so much that we got a half growler (we'd brought our own) to take home. Our personal pizzas were big! They do a thick crust, which is best hot, right when you're eating it. Leftover, it was not quite as good. But in the brewery, the crust is hot and chewy, and the toppings plentiful. My husband got the Meat Special, and it was loaded with meat! I got the tomato garlic, which was tasty as well. There are lots of veggie pizza options. They also have wings, burgers, sandwiches and appetizers. I'm so glad they decided to participate in our Grapehounds event. Thanks---we will be back! read more

Ok first off Meatballs off the hook have to have, pizza is awesome beer even better put it all together WOW great experience must try. Thank you for great time. read more

Beer was good, didn't eat but the food smelled amazing. Service was quick and atmosphere was mediocre.

The look of this place from the outside is cute and the fact that it has a deck overlooking the water is a huge pull. However, the menu is limited. We ordered two pizzas and they were average however very expensive! They were out of my go-to drink which was disappointing and the service was slightly worse than your average restaurant. Overall I probably wouldn't go back. The cannolis were REALLY good tho. read more

While they don't take reservations, be sure to call and make sure they haven't run out of dough. We drove 45 minutes. Was told it would be 30 minutes for a party of six (that is two tables of three) and that was fine. Drove around and upon return had a party of three not on the wait list sat right ahead of us at one of two side-by-side tables and was told (1) it would likely be a longer wait and (2) they were out of dough. Disappointed as our first experience with a party of 9 during the summer was great. read more

Location, beer, and the vibe were just ok. Nothing too exciting to write home about. There are several other locations nearby which have excellent views and character. read more

This brewery is an absolute must visit! the peanut butter stout is amazing and the pumpkin ale is outstanding! Joe was very helpful is helping with our choices! make sure to ask for him! read more

Had very high hopes for this place. Beautiful spot with nice views of the lake. Unfortunately our service was sub par. We were seated quickly outside with our dog. A very nice waitress can by and talked to us about our dog and then brought her out some water. That is the best service we received. Next our actual waitress came out, we ordered our drinks and our meal as it seemed a little busy. After about 15 minutes our appetizer came out before our drinks. We finally flagged down our waitress and asked for our drinks. After a little more of a wait, we finally got our drinks. I would like to report on the beers but we only had one (IPA) because we didn't see our waitress again to order another. The pizza was decent but nothing really special. We again had to flag down our waitress to get our check. I don't see a return visit in our future. read more
