Happy to say not much and the few changes are for the better. Still lovely free popcorn, great drinks. Order food and drinks at bar. Now they accept credit cards for a small fee. Definitely worth it. Separate room with a pool table, darts and a few games. Absolutely love the feel of this place, comfortable home town bar. Food has always been delicious, I enjoyed their Friday fish fry dinner... ridiculously large portion, fries, coleslaw and a roll.

The Cottage Hotel - Mendon, NY…read more The Cottage Hotel isn't just a bar & grill--it's a Mendon institution. This is hands down my favorite place to go when I want great food, cold drinks, and a room full of people actually having a good time. Thanksgiving Eve at The Cottage is next-level. The place has that perfect buzz--packed but comfortable, energetic without being chaotic--and when the band SQUID takes the stage, it turns into one of the best nights out of the year. They know exactly how to read the room and keep it moving, whether you're there to dance, sing along, or just enjoy the music with a drink in hand. The bar staff is fast, friendly, and clearly knows their regulars. Drinks are poured right, the food hits the spot every time, and there's zero pretension--just a warm, welcoming vibe that keeps people coming back. You'll see longtime locals, groups of friends, and people who came in "just for one" and somehow stayed all night. If you're looking for a place that feels authentic, fun, and reliably awesome--especially on Thanksgiving Eve--The Cottage Hotel is the place to be. Mendon doesn't get better than this.

Came here with my in-laws for dinner. Loved the laid back vibe here…read more All the servers were so nice! Owner told us the daily specials and she was lovely. The food was GREAT! I went with a build you own burger (bonus, Grass fed beef too!), my husband got a beef on weck. The sandwich was good but the meat was thick cut and as a result, was a bit hard to bite through. (I could see my husband struggle). My in-laws got a burger and a fish fry and they enjoyed their meals as well. The main negative was how loud it was in here. There was a table of 4 older ladies that were so rowdy, we could hardly hear each other, let alone the waitress. Needless to say, once their food came, they quieted down a bit. We highly recommend.

Great little bar in the village of Mendon. Stop in for a minute or awhile. Fun local hangout.read more

There's a 7-Up branded sign with "Ye Mendon Tavern" on it. I finally convinced my husband that we need to go there. We went in and there is definitely and a cozy ambiance about it. The bartender was friendly enough, and the drinks were well priced. A generous pour as well. The kind of place where you should go if you are in the mood for having a relaxing drink. If you are in the area, I highly recommend you stop by.

Great beer, atmosphere and service.

Ordering drinks at the table and paying the tab right there is a great idea. Some puzzling choices that I'm sure will be rectified. There are kids everywhere (like most breweries) and they have a kids menu, (and even blocks to play with) but the menu isn't in print? Not even a hint of it on the website. Maybe they just didn't print any today, but if you were wondering if you your kids will be content? They definitely will! There is also no water station. Which is odd. For an establishment this big, a water station would greatly help ease the pressure on the bartenders, wait time for guests and possibly ease the stress on glassware (if a plastic tumbler is used). But they handled it all with a smile and my wait was minimal, so just an operational note.

What a menu and what a chef! Ordering food is super easy. As you walk in there is a counter to order drinks and food.

Welcome place for family and kids. Comfy couch in bar area. Ample parking. Excited to meet the owners, they nailed it! Cheers

I ate here with 3 others a few nights back, had an overall good experience…read more We sat outside and it was a lovely evening. The back deck was full so we expected good service. Our server was very good, friendly and she checked on us often. One person ordered the Sunday sauce - this was a pile of cork-screw shaped pasta tossed in the sauce with cheese; I personally would have liked a side of extra sauce and either a meatball or a sausage, but the person who ordered it was happy - pasta cooked well, sauce tasted good, portion was huge so there were left overs. Another person ordered the roasted pork sandwich with the rapini greens, cheese and banana pepper mayo. This was on Salty Grains (?) bread. We had seen this featured on instagram by an influencer and it was delicious - rich and meaty, and big! We all had some and still the person who ordered it took half home. Another person got the gochujang ribs which was a good portion. The ribs did not come with any sides but that was ok. The eater expected the ribs to be more spicy but they were actually more sweet. Not in a bad way, just not what was expected with 'gochujang' in the name. The last diner had the burnt ends. These were also good, very flavorful and cooked well (ie not dry), but they could have been 'burnt' a little more. We also had an order of calamari and an order of the cauliflower bites. These were good for sharing, and came with dipping sauces. All of the food was solid. I would get the pork sammy again or try other dishes next time. This place is also easy to find and has a big parking lot. Sorry, no photos - it was a reunion dinner and we were chatting so much we forgot to snap pics!!
