5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here Skip to the end to see my rating scale. 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 read more

Tin Barn Brewing - Holy SH!t. Look at this view! (I don't mean the two guys...) - Breweries Near Me - Dundee, New York

I was quite impressed with their beer. I'm not sure why I thought that a brewery on the East Coast wouldn't make good hazy beer, but I was wrong. Pretty much all their Hazy IPAs were quite nice. And they had a large selection of them. All the way from sessions to triples. I also tried the fruit sour - which is not really my type of beer - but I think they did a good job on that one too, very fruity. Hazy IPA's are their thing - they did have a couple others like the sour and a blonde, but this is mostly a place to go for a hazy. We also got food. I thought the pretzel sticks with mustard where quite good - although I ordered the beer cheese with them and was pretty unimpressed with that and wished I had just stuck with the mustard. I also go the Buffalo chicken nachos which were decent. Not blow me away, but tasty. And very filling. Great space. Huge indoor and outdoor space. Big patio with a gorgeous view of Seneca Lake. I saw games inside. read more

While up in the Finger Lakes on the Seneca Wine Trail, we wanted to try a brewery for something different. So glad that we tried Tin Barn. The employees are very kind and helpful. They love and take pride in their work and what they produce. I love things that are sweet so we got things like that on the menu. I loved the smoothie beers. They were so unique and flavorful. The Can of Whoop Ass was my favorite. It was so sweet. I can't remember the 4th one we got (top left). It was just ok. Such a beautiful place! We really enjoyed being there and the views. We even brought the Can of Whoop Ass home. I'll be slowly enjoying it. You must go and check them out. read more

I am going to leave another great review because I like this brewery that much. The space is bright, clean and spacious. It was raining today so we sat indoors. They have a nice size area with a good selection of merchandise. They have cans and draft brews. Sours are my brew of choice and Tin Barn always has some wonderful choices. Our bartender was patient while we made our selections. OOOMGS - Coconut, strawberry and marshmallow...on the sweet side which is my preference , with a little texture. read more

Beautiful place on the inside and outside. I try to come here whenever I get the opportunity but it is 1 1/2 hours from my house. We are so lucky to have a brewery of this caliber in the finger lakes. I have met the Owners: Dale and Lauren (his daughter) and they are the nicest most down to earth people you would ever meet!!! My request last year was to go there for my birthday and had a wonderful time and a drink with Dale. I went back several times since then and always a good time. I'm looking forward to checking out the Chester location. If you like great craft beer and the most beautiful view of Seneca lake you must go. The food is typical bar food. read more

Stumbled upon this place while driving to our FLX rental house for the weekend. It's a really nice location as this place has a huge outdoor area overlooking the lake. We stopped to pick up some four packs to go, but they didn't last long once we got them back to the house. We loved the seasonal beers - the pumpkin and Oktoberfest were our favorites. My brother, who is pretty picky about NEPIA's, really liked the Baby T-Rex. We ended up coming back before heading home so we could take more cans to go. We can't wait to come back! read more

This brewery has a heck of a view! Beers were pretty good. My wife loved the sours and the IPAs were just okay. Very strong flavors. I prefer a middle of the road beer to balance out stronger ones, but that's just me. Doesn't take away from the vibe at all. The sun was shining on a cold fall day so sitting outside was a good thing. Very friendly staff, dog friendly, and they are helpful when ordering. read more

Tin Barn Brewing - View from the parking lot - Breweries Near Me - Dundee, New York

We drove by and this place is so easy to see from the roadway. We stopped to see what this place was all about. Apparently it was another winery called "Sharkys" or something. The place is huge and maybe too large for this brewery, but it may need the space in the winter months for certain. We stopped here and they said they opened up maybe a year ago if I remember. I got a sample list of beers to sample, then ending up with a hazy IPA as always for me. We had food, ordered in the front, and pick it up when your pager goes off. The food was good, the staff was friendly and helpful on any questions, and how about that view, it's incredible from that high up. Overall great stop, will stop again as a great brewery to visit in the area. read more

This was one of our favorite stops while on Seneca Lake. Great ambiance, super nice staff. Great flights of beer and wine for non-beer drinkers. Lots of glasses, mugs, sweatshirts,shirts and hat for sale too. read more

This is the second time we've tried Tin Barn and again it has disappointed. It's unfortunate, because it's in such a beautiful location and has such wonderful views. This could really be a vibe. But it fails terribly. The service is meh, not terrible but just not welcoming. If it was my first trip to a brewery I may think this wasn't for me. Most breweries I've been to are very welcoming and willing to work with you on selecting the right beers. I don't need that type of guidance but I've watched staff all but ignore people who were obvious struggling to choose. Maybe it was a one time thing. The beer. Awful, no other way to describe it. Between the two of us we had 8 beers yesterday in 2 flights. 7 of the 8 were drain pours, 1 was tolerable but not good. 4 IPAs, 2 sours, and 2 seltzers. The last time we were here we had 3 IPAs, 1 stout, 1 Pilsner and 3 sours. 7/8 drain pours again. 2 tolerable beers, both sours (out of 16) equals 14 drain pours. Now before anyone rips on this review, we've been to every top brewery in New England including Bissel Bros, Maine Brewing, Alchemist, Lawson's, Hill Farmstead, Fox, etc. we know beer. It's not that our tastes are off, it's just not a good brewery. I read the reviews and wonder who is giving this a 5 and what are they drinking here. Maybe we're missing it, but the sours are often referenced and I can tell you these would be rejected by Foam in VT as not passable for sale. It's a shame because it's in the best location ever. Anyone with real brewing chops could make a fortune on the Seneca wine trail. Hudson Valley Brewing would have a lock on the FLX region! I hope you guys are reading this, as we come back every year. read more

Interesting spot. Gorgeous views. Plenty of parking. Beers were limited and not exactly to my preference. They had 2 IPAs which I know I don't like, so tried the others in a flight. Everything was very sweet. Should have gone with the Lager. Any way, every one has different taste buds and you may like their beers. I had the ground beef tacos which were ok. The system for ordering and then getting your food seams to work. Can't say the team was overly welcoming. As a female stopping on my own for lunch and a flight, I can't say they were the most friendly. The friendliest they got was when I asked for reccomendations. Outside of that, they seemed annoyed I was there. Expensive. A flight and beef tacos cost me $30+. For the price, I probably won't visit again. However, I am all about people making their own decisions. The place inside and out is absolutely gorgeous. read more

Tons of fruity sours and IPA variations with a beautiful view. Came on a late Tuesday afternoon and had the most perfect weather to sit in the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the lake. It's a very large, gorgeous space where I can see more formal events being held here. They have a small merchandise area with the cutest plaid glasses. I wish I had the room for them at home! The kitchen wasn't open yet but it is coming soon. Thankfully they did have tasty Bavarian pretzels. Can't wait to see what this brewery turns into, as they just opened this location Memorial Day weekend. Highly recommend! read more

Tin Barn Brewing - Amazing beer, food, view and staff!! - Breweries Near Me - Dundee, New York

Good: great view but honestly there's lots of places in the area that can say the same thing. Tons of seating and parking. Bad: place looks really nice on the outside and feels like between a cafeteria and banquet hall on the inside. No atmosphere at all - Food was just okay. Menu sounds good but food doesn't really deliver. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either. - Beer choices aren't great. There was one lager. The rest of the beer menu were IPA's and sours. That was it. - Biggest knock. Let me preface this that they had no desserts, at least the night we went. We were there with over 20 people who all got beers and food. We were there for 3 hours, so a decent amount of beers were purchased. We had a small cake to celebrate someone's birthday who was in the area from the other side of the globe that most of us hadn't seen in over 10 years. Again, they had no desserts available. They were adamant we couldn't open the cake while we were there. We were also in an area away from all the other customers. Either way, we weren't stealing possible dessert orders/business from them because they had no desserts available, at least that day. read more

Great beer nice staff beautiful space lots of room big groups small groups can accommodate both would recommend bartender Ryan was amazing

Great beers and fun entrees on their menu. Great location too...as well as friendly staff.

Can't beat the view here! Plenty of seating and space...it was super hot when we went but there's lots of shade to keep it cool. The kitchen is now open...we had the Korean BBQ Tacos, Fire Braised Chicken Tacos and Mexican Street Corn. The street corn was amazing and tacos tasty enough. A great selection of beer of course as well! So glad we discovered this place while in the Finger Lakes!! read more

I am so sad to have to give a bad review because I loved Starkeys and this location is one of the most beautiful on Seneca Lake. I was staying across the street so I went there to have a glass of wine and order dinner to go and dinner ended up being three very small tacos, and it was supposed to have rice and beans only had some very dry rice with absolutely no flavor. I hope something changes there, because it truly is the most beautiful spot to sit and view Seneca Lake read more

Great food and drinks. The lake view is unmatched. The only suggestion would be to have the acoustics have more cushion, the echo took away from the experience. The band was great but it could have been better. read more
