What to say about this brewery? Driving up, you’d have no idea there’s a brewery here. It’s a 1950s-ish motel and restaurant styled in that outdoorsy cabin motif. Enter through the bustling big restaurant space, wind your way past the salad bar, and nestled in the back is this extremely unique bar. There aren’t exactly two competing themes, but you can’t miss either. The entire space of the bar and surrounding seating is all racing decorations (posters, flags, you name it). Watkins Glen race track’s nearby, and this place is clearly dedicated to all things racing. Also, behind the bar are fifty million arrows sticking out of the wall like a vertical pincushion.
They had an amber or red ale on tap. It was good, and the bartender served up fresh ones automatically and without even being asked.

Seneca lodge is my go to stay at lake Seneca. My wife and I come up a few times a year. Affordable clean lodgings. The meals at the lodge are good. I really enjoy the bar. They have a selection of their own brews and the atmosphere is great. Open properly late and a stumble away from our lodgings. Highly recommend a stay or just stopping in if you’re in the area.

We stopped in for a beer after visiting the park. Adam was incredibly upbeat, friendly, and clearly respectful of the history of the tavern. It was very special for my husband to be in the space since he’s a former racing driver and huge fan.

What an amazing place, the staff are friendly and polite. I had the privilege meeting their brew master and discussing his invasions and fantastic beers. Some of which are canned to take home. Highly recommend stopping here while you are in Watkins Glen.

Saw a few bands there on a Friday night. Great beer and food selection, super friendly staff. Not sure how often it occurs, but $1 drafts during the live music!

Holy moly. We had the London roast and it was absolutely fantastic, so much flavor packed in that meat. It looked kind of unappetizing but it tasted absolutely fantastic. Salad bar was awesome and the racing memorabilia was super duper cool. We got to meet the owner who told us some more about everything up on the wall. Wreaths and other stuff from Niki Lauda, James Hunt, Scott Dixon etc. Super duper cool and would absolutely stop by if in the area again!

Locals told us this is a must see when in Watkins Glen. I loved the rustic and nostalgic building and decor. The bartender was friendly and helpful. Fair pricing on food and drinks. Salad bar. Outdoor seating.

We were looking for a brewery and the website says they are one. When we arrived we realized it was just a mediocre restaurant with beer that is brewed in another location. It was burger night and we paid over $20 for a burger that wasn’t very good. Added $3 for a simple salad bar. Extremely overpriced restaurant for the quality of food. That being said, this restaurant is right at the entrance of Watkins glen state park campground, so that was convenient since we were camping there.

Unique and unusual bar area. Cash only at the bar, but they give you very unusual change, like dollar coins half dollars $2 bills. Food in the restaurant area was outstanding! Had a great time and all the servers are fun and attentive.
