Perfect rotating beer selection. Love the focus on NYS brews! Every staff member is great! Dani is always top of things on the floor. Kathryn, Alex, and John are killing it behind the bar. Melissa, Megan, and Maddie are great too! (And can’t forget Will!) huge fan of the pretzels and beer cheese dip. And the heated patio seating on cool nights! Can’t wait to go back!

Really enjoyed this spot on Main Street! The patio is definitely the standout–spacious, great atmosphere, and perfect for people-watching or hanging with friends on a nice day. Food and drinks were both really good, highly recommend checking out their canned selections! Make sure you stop by over the summer, they are always hosting amazing events and music on main in their bar area and patio! Overall, a great place for a chill night out with a solid vibe!

Also that was our second time there first time we had Jessica. She was amazing. Also, you’re very lucky to have such great servers that like their job it makes people come back again thank you.

The fries were completely inedible — rock hard and overcooked to the point that we couldn’t even bite into them. The chicken wings tasted old and were extremely dry and crunchy. We left about 90% of our food on the table because it was simply not edible. Very disappointing experience. We will not be returning

My wife and I wanted to go out, have a few cocktails and listen to some music but was slightly disappointed.. Parking and getting to the front door was difficult (giant piles of snow and sidewalks were not shoved). Once inside found a small seating area and had to take a table shoved in the corner. Service was good but food choices are very limited and overpriced. We felt bad for the performer who was also shoved into a corner and had to complete with the big screen TV just inches from where he was singing. At this point I don’t think that we will go back.

We walked into the restaurant thinking it would be a harmless weeknight out. Then Hannah happened …. if bartending were a theatrical art, she’d be the standing ovation. She was fun, witty, friendly, and totally made our night. She even shared a few photos of her adorable dog, Allen (who we learned was named after Josh Allen – GO BILLS!) 10/10 recommend going there, especially when she’s working! Will be back again for sure!

We live close by and with so many options it’s always good to find a consistent place to have a bite and a beer. We were lucky enough to be greeted by John who loved his job, he was very informative and gave many recommendations. He was accompanied by Katherine who was also outstanding checking in with us often. This bartender duo ran the front of house in complete sync. I started with the snozzberry pint (sour beer) and my wife had the Sweet Heat margarita. Both were excellent. We had some food as well Mac and Cheese and a RBF wrap. The wrap was fresh and delicious. The mac and cheese was absolutely out of this world, the seasoning was on point. Overall we are very happy to have a great bar/restaurant option so close by. Oh and my new thing – clean bathroom.

What an amazing Wednesday evening! Stopped into Raitonales for a quick beer on my way home. The bartender Hannah was absolutely outstanding! The ambiance of the place was great, the beers were cold and the food was on point!! Have to recommend this place wholeheartedly!! This is the village watering hole

Hannah was absolutely fantastic! She’s friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome the moment you sit down. Her drink recommendations were spot on, and every cocktail she made was perfectly balanced and delicious. She kept the vibe upbeat and made sure everyone at the bar was having a great time. You can tell she really cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does. Can’t wait to come back and see her again—Hannah is a true gem behind the bar!

Ration Ales has a good selection of beer that you can have inside or out. The food that we ordered was delicious. We ate outside, so had to order everything through a QR code which was pretty seamless.
