During our visit to this brewery, we were absolutely thrilled by the fantastic time we had! It was a delightful surprise to be there during the solar eclipse weekend, and the town was bustling with so many cheerful faces. Despite the limited staff, everyone was putting their heart and soul into ensuring exceptional service for all. Our server was an absolute gem, incredibly amusing, and delightfully talkative. She shared captivating tidbits about the town, enriching our experience even amidst the bustling atmosphere. The brewery offered a stunning view of the lake, and we were enamored with the outdoor patio. For those seeking a delightful combination of excellent beer and mouthwatering pizza, this is the place to be. Our overall experience at this establishment was nothing short of fantastic, with delicious food to savor. The pricing is a tad high, but the quality justifies the cost, making it a worthwhile destination for enjoying top-notch beer with a picturesque view. The pizza was a culinary delight, perfectly prepared, and the servers were truly outstanding. This brewery is definitely a must-visit for a delightful experience.

Dog friendly patio right on the water. We had the 1812 Amber Ale which was really good, not hoppy at all, and the sangria, which was sweet but not sickly so. I had the tuna tacos and they were good. A little spicy. And my mother and the Adirondack Burger and she said it was one of the best burgers she's ever had.

We haven't been here since 2012, but back then we had a good dining experience. The beer is pretty good, and the hamburgers are excellent. Walking around, there are very nice views of the river and some of the architecture of the buildings in the downtown section of town is stunning. A fun time all in all, and will go back.

Had dinner here Saturday night. Nice view of water and great service. Laid back and very attentive. Whole staff is engaged to make dining experience fun. Great beer selection too.

This place have excellent social distancing going on in the restaurant. You can sit at the bar in the dining room or out on the patio. This place does have a view of the water. All the food that you see pictures of was cooked excellent. The service was amazing and we went here twice and sat in the bar and in the dining room. The bar is amazing and has some pretty good character with it.

This was my first time at this place and it will not be my last. We ate here on a Thursday, so the special is happy hour all day and 1/2 pound burgers with a pint of beer for $10. I had a black and blue burger that was amazing and cooked just as I asked. We sat inside in the bar area. They have TVs and the place is decorated nicely and it is clean. There is outside seating and it looks like a great place when the weather is nice. The main course meals are priced in the $20s, but it looks like it is well worth it. The staff was friendly and nice. I highly recommend this place.

Live music was a great backdrop to an incredible experience. The French Onion & Ale soup had superb taste. The Mushroom & Swiss Angus burger was the tastiest burger I may have ever had! All 3 of the beers we had were also awesome!!

I have mixed feelings about this place. Their chicken wings were great wxtra crispy just like we asked but it was Super Bowl sunday and wings were suppose to be $1 but we were charged the regular price for 10 wings . Bartender didnt seem to care and didnt offer to make the adjustment. They forgot an item on our take out order which after seeing it wish we didnt go back for it. The burnt ends mac and cheese that was $29.00 yes you see that correctly $29.00 and it had 5 burnt ends of fat on it. I will post a picture. I was highly disappointed which stinks bc their wings were good and Oh the beer selection for being a brewery is not great..

Excellent beer and food. Super friendly and quality service. Beautiful views of the lake. Easy trip from Watertown, Clayton, Cape Vincent, Alexandria Bay and well with it. One of our regular stops while in the area. Will worth it.

Nice place, nice atmosphere. Located in an old train station, with indoor and outdoor dining. I ate in the bar, overlooking the brewing area. The burger was great, with crisp fries. Had two very good beers while there. Had a chance to speak with one of the owners, Pearl, she was very nice and gave me information about the business and the town. Spent an enjoyable hour there

We stopped in for lunch while on a motorcycle ride. The food was excellent and the deck is great if the weather cooperates. As we were riding, we didn't drink their beer at lunch. Instead we filled a growler to have when we got back to our hotel.

The duck nachos, seafood chowder, steak Caeser, and grilled scallop salad we tried were phenomenal. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the beer is excellent. I've been coming here for 15 years and it's always top notch.

(Updated with photo of bees liking our food better than we did!)Should've obeyed the reviews! We stopped in for a quick lunch and sat on the patio. Service was terrible. Asked what was in the tuna tacos and waitress had no idea. Patio was dirty, cobwebs and dead bugs everywhere. Large bee problem as well. Several other tables moved inside b/c of this. Tuna tacos were tasty but small with very little tuna and expensive. $18 for 3 little tacos and some chips. She had the Berry salad which the bees liked better than she did. The lettuce wasn't fresh & the dressing was all sugar. When we received the check there were 2 beers and a glass of wine that we didn't order. Bathrooms were smelly and dingy. Cleaning is NOT a priority here. Go next door. It looked nice.

Hands down the best burger I ever had!!! The weather outside was just perfect, waitress/bartendress was quick, polite, and didn’t hover which is preferred. I was blown away with how delicious this Mushroom Swiss burger was just mind BLOWN!!

Staff was pleasant enough, seating was ample. Obnoxious teens in a boat next to the restaurant blasting music and partying - not their fault and wont hurt their score. Food was pretty good, but we came for the beer, which was...fine. Honestly, if you are doing a brewery hop, I would put this as a low priority at the moment. No flights, not even a beer menu - the waitress just tells you their selection when you ask - which is understandable in COVID times...except we received a physical food menu when we sat down? Maybe look into a QR code system which seems to be working great at other spaces!

They blocked me on FB for a truthful comment. Not rude or anything. Just the truth.They bought Maggie’s. Hopefully they run that better then the 1812.Either way. Won’t be going to either one.They can’t keep help or get it. That should show you something.And can’t take criticism. That should tell you something. They want to hide. HmmmmmThe owners have no idea how to run a biz. Also the beer sucks.

My first visit may not be my last but I wasn't encouraged by it. The server was at the center of my concern. His demeanor came off as aloof and he rushed me and my wife through our meal. The food was good, but the 1812 Amber Ale we had seemed flat. We were quickly closed out with no offer to stay or offer that we could. We left for the Boathouse, next door, because we wanted to sit and enjoy the view. Their 1812 Amber was not flat.

The food was good, the 1812 red ale was great and the view on their deck was awesome. The servers were friendly.

Not sure what the bad reviews are based from, because this was phenomenal!Service was excellent! So fast and professional. The meal was awesome! Amazing! Tasty! The beer was to die for!We started with fried cheese curd....wow. following that was the Ale and Onion soup, very tasty! I had the Creole Ribeye with garlic mashed and asparagus. It was truly a great meal. Cooked perfectly with great flavor. My wife had the Chicken Cordon Bleu special. Wow, perfectly fried chicken! To top it off was the Caramel Turtle Cheesecake. Love at first bite!Amazing meal, fitting for a birthday. I loved it and cannot wait to come back. You wont be dissapointed. Thank you SHB! Well done!

A pleasant experience for what seemed like a crazy night for them. The staff seemed a little flustered but I guess that's to be expected when you're training someone and you're short-staffed. Overall a 4-star experience as the food and drinks were delicious

The street corn was burned and not fresh. Barely touched it and was a waste of money. Jalapeno cornbread was dry, pretty sure the slice of coconut cream pies we ordered was was one of the cheap frozen pies from the store and the piece was very tiny, like a sampling of pie. The hamburger and the cherry pie ordered were good, but overall a disappointing experience. The wait staff was friendly so that was a plus.

We stopped here on the bike. Burgers were good. Beer was cold. Nice view.

Food is over priced and gross. From what i saw Just a bunch of teens working in the kitchen. My smokehouse burger looked like it was a froze premade patty. No seasoning. And the pulled pork was dry and flavorless. Forgot the slaw forgot the sauce. And the bottom bun was wet even tho the burger itself was beyond dry. Looked like someone prechewed my pulled pork. My husbands pork belly was not charred at all. And the fat to meat raito was not worth what was paid. Oh and they ask you how you want your burger cooked. But no matter the request u will get a well done dry burger. Five people . Not one persons burger came as they requested. If your going to well done every patty. Dont ask the customer how they want it. DO NOT GO HERE.

Have been here many times. Things have gone downhill. Fish was flavorless. Rotisserie chicken was $29. Expected more than what you can get at a grocery store. Corn was terrible. How do you screw up corn on the cob?

Didn't get past the entryway. No Greeter. We stepped into the bar to look for anyone working there and immediately found one bartender/waitress. 5 mins standing there and never acknowledged us. No, "be right with you". No, "sorry folks, I'm a bit short handed. It'll be a couple of minutes". Nothing. Meanwhile she was all too ready to help a small group trickling in around us. It's not like they were busy, so no idea why the cold shoulder. You can only be ignored for so long. Not the first time we've had issues with the service here. We love to support local business and find most small business restaurants to be superior to chain restaurants. Unfortunately, this experience reduces the likelihood of us returning.
