    a sandwich on a white plate
    Jose F. N.

    I grew up in a bakery and I have to say, this place has the best sandwich I have had in my life, they call it scone-wich, it's sooooo good, it's just a blt in a scone with melted Brie cheese and pesto sauce, the scone is a good one, those that break in many pieces after you dig in. So good, I wish they had Grape Fanta, that could made my day ... the service can get better

    Specialty cocktails and beer

    I just wanted someplace local I could walk to from the hotel of a cocktail and I called and talk to leave this here and she was very nice place is very small low ever. It does have a outside patio seating area absolutely like 75 to 100 people have a small space upstairs it's like a piano bar with extra space 15 barstools and 20 seating tables. Nobody's kind friendly it's quiet everything is clean Lee put together. I am trying a new bourbon while I am here all Milam and green single barrel. It's very reasonable it's seven dollars a shot which is fine for me. The least expensive bourbon is 550 and that is makers mark and the most expensive one is Weller CYPB at 30. I wouldn't try the flight I would have is my other half of been with me, but he stayed home in Massachusetts, so I was willing to try four different kinds of bourbon by myself in a town I never been to before. But it now makes me wish that the honey had come with me because he's missing out for the really good selection of stuff. Everything is really cool here with the lighting lots of handmade pictures, different boxes, bourbon, whiskey, etc. as well as a velvet wallpaper. Lots and lots of plants. It makes everything really warm and cozy even though the hot night is like 100°. Definitely worth a stop if you were in Troy New York and you like something special in the way of an alcoholic drink. They have a mini mini like I said Bourbons matter of fact they have 36 different ones. It is definitely a tasting persons dream bar. Kinda wish it was closer. I would have to drive all the way back someday to take the honey. Forgot to post that they have live bands on Friday nights at seven tonight. They have a band and six DJs.

I actually got up and grabbed the remote to put closed captioning on myself. Now the bar... When we walked in at 8:30p we waited till 8:45 to finally be greeted by the bartender as a training barback stared at us doing nothing for the entire time. The bartender had an undeserved, terrible attitude and spent over 10 minutes making a single specialty cocktail. Our second drink was treated similarly, though this time she demanded we leave the bar area we were standing at to move to the other side where her male coworker was making our last drink. It was so obviously direct disrespect and distaste for us as customers, I will not be returning. Oh, then last drink where my non-confrontational quiet friend got our third round - they served her vodka beverage from the same shaker as my mezcal drink and it tasted just like that, a mix of vodka and smoky tequila... no thanks. Bathrooms? No toilet paper. Drinks were actually delicious though, except for Kristen's third! Not busy enough to excuse this hospitality.

They came free with my Nashville fried chicken sandwich order.They do great deep fryer food. My sandwich was all sorts of crispy, spicy and tangy fun. The space, however, has changed a lot. I remember when it was the Pump Station several years ago. The late owner, Neil Evan, was a fixture there and his seafood Mac & Cheese was something to rave about. By contrast, Common Roots has a more limited menu and plainer furniture. A lot of pizza varieties, tacos, salads and burgers. Decent bar food. By contrast, Common Roots flagship in Glens Falls appears to have a better menu with more variety. I generally eat healthy. I can't eat bar food regularly. The meal was great for a Friday night out. There's also a very good non-alcoholic beverage and drinks menu. I was happy to see all of varieties of stout. The snowy stout was delicious. So was the kombucha. The bar where I sat was clean, sleek and modern. The bartender, who took my order was helpful with suggestions. The main dining area looked a bit sparse for 8pm on a Friday night but the business is still relatively new. I'd like to see an expanded menu with at least a few more healthy choices and some family-friendly selections. Meanwhile, I'll know where to go if I get a craving for awesome freshly made potato chips.

People kept telling me, " It's across the street from The Ruck. You know, The Ruck?" That was no help to me. I was unfamiliar with this tavern. To think that it's more famous than the county offices sparked my curiosity. So after I took care of my paperwork with the county I stopped in at The Ruck. I would describe it as a business and dive bar that makes craft beers. I made it in for lunch on a weekday. I took a seat at the bar. I was surprised to see the menu was quite extensive. There was a nice selection of soups. I ordered a cup of Greens and Beans along with 5 oz. of Fat Orange Cat Brew Chonky . I liked the beer. The soup was quite good, too. The man seated next to me was eating wings. He was raving about them. He said they were the best in town. I'll have to try them next time. Service is very good. The bartender was a good guy. Very nice and helpful. He said that on football game nights the bar is packed with Bills fans. Sounds like a lot of fun.

It was darkly lit inside (with pinkish/red lights no less); it was extremely loud to the point that I had trouble understanding what my wife was saying (which might not be the background music!); and the prices were expensive. The entire night they played 1980s New-wave British music which I don't mind, but had it been something I detest I would have lost my mind. We were seated at a tiny table with a small candle which provided some actual heat on the cold winter night. Our server was extremely helpful and though he didn't have all the answers he did offer to go and find out. They have a long menu but it doesn't have a lot of food options on it, with most of the pages devoted to alcohol. They had only one dessert option when we were there. My wife and I both ordered the Hanger Steak with fries, mushroom sauce, and green salad (about $40 each). Hanger steak is my favorite cut and hard to find so I jumped on it. Food came out in about 25 minutes, which is amazing considering how small their kitchen is. The steak was cooked perfectly (they didn't ask how we wanted it), smothered in a lovely mushroom sauce, and covered an ample portion of crispy homemade fries which were so good I would have thought them bagged frozen items. Even the basic salad which was just various types of lettuce was great. They aren't cheap, but they are focusing on "farm to table" and that means quality food at commensurate (fair?) prices. Burgers and chicken sandwiches are $15, so if you want something lighter but still tasty you can go that route. Speaking of light, if you go into the bathroom on the right you will find a cold, dark, tiny room lit solely by a PINK bulb. It feels like being on a spaceship (as if I know what that is like), and after when you leave seeing the main light in the restaurant is very jarring. It was a fun experience but not inexpensive and not one that checks the boxes that I look for in a restaurant. Dark, loud, and cramped might be hip for the young or "save the earth" crowd, but I am too old to give up creature comforts for such things. The food, though expensive, was absolutely outstanding in every way though and I won't forget that steak for a long time.

I've been twice with friends and it was stellar. The live performers they get are top notch and it's great to be able to Interact with them after the performance. I also appreciate there being space to dance because it really allows you to cut loose and it's great exercise too. Decor was strange and fun. I look forward to them adding to the strange wall art. I appreciate the fact that the monthly schedules that are posted to Instagram are so clear and show you exactly what to expect given the day. Staff was incredibly helpful despite how loud it can get at times and they always were nothing but courteous. The Beer and Cider selection is top notch. As a cider fan I'm glad they have many varieties and hope to see some more brands make an appearance on the menu. The bathroom was clean and well stocked although there is only one bathroom so later in the night it became a bit of a wait. Only other very minor gripes are I wish there was a few more tables because sometimes it's good to just sit down and the sound mixing can be on the loud side for an indoor performance. Other than that this place is very welcoming and provides a great time with friends. Will be sure to return many more times!
