If you are looking for a winery atmosphere, this isn't the place. What you have here is a cross…read morebetween a tourist trap, a neighborhood pub, and a family venue. Their craft beers are decent, and the food really is bar food. The best thing I can say about it is that we were able to bring all the family together, over 20 of us, three generations, all in one place, all without reservations. We'll likely go here again when we are back in the area from California and want all the family under one roof.

This review is actually for Iron Heart Cafe inside of War Horse Brewing…read more Looks like they make the food the day prior and refrigerate it. It's not made to order or even the day of (which it's very simple food and only takes a minute or so to prepare, so i don't get why). There is a "packed date" on the container when you get your food. (Can't say if this is true for the pretzel though, but definitely applies to the other 3 snack items). Would definitely not recommend this cafe to anyone unless they're absolutely starving. Eat before/after you visit here. Turkey BLT wrap 5/10 Mayo comes on the side so it doesn't get soggy. Smart. Wrap was very skimpy. There was maybe 1 or 2 slices of lunch meat turkey in it, and a slice of bacon. See photo. Not worth the price at all. Pasta salad 4/10 SUPER DRY. Was like eating plain wet noodles. Probably because it sat overnight. Needs more dressing for sure. The combination of ingredients were good together though. See photo. Iced latte with caramel 5/10 Couldn't even taste the caramel. Plenty of milk, but it was just poured in.. Not even frothed like a latte usually is. It was just like drinking a plain flavorless iced coffee. Sugar is separate to add yourself, which I did not know until half of my drink was gone. Suggestions for improvement: Fresh is best! Prepare and cook meal items to order/day of.

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

Which is fine. The lovely lady at the brew station brought water to the dogs immediately once I ordered and was so eager to say hello to them. Beer is good. They let you taste it first. I made the mistake of not doing so and the Hefeweizen was a little hoppier than my wife likes but I downed it. I didn't mind. I'm too hot to take pictures. We loved their pumpkin beer. Rather pumpkin pie like and more sweet than spicy. Depending on how you like your pumpkin it may make or break you. Awesome view of the lake. I would definitely come back here.

Awesome beer, great ambiance, the food is amazing when it's good, sometimes a little hit or miss but you're really there for the beer. The beertenders are always so friendly and willing to give recommendations. The parking is their biggest downfall, I wish they'd find a way to expand, even when there's parking further down the road, you typically get so muddy that it impacts your experience. It's usually crazy parking-wise when there's an event which unfortunately deters me some.
