My wife and I came here for a late lunch. We were given a table right away and our order was taken almost immediately. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much because it’s a bar and the menu wasn’t extensive. The Beef on Weck was so so good! Possibly the best we’ve eaten in the finger lakes area. The turkey sandwich was also very good. Everything tasted great. We will return!

Located in the heart of the picturesque lake town of Skaneateles, The Lakehouse Pub offers a lively and casual atmosphere that draws both locals and visitors alike. The place was bustling when we arrived for lunch, with a laid-back seating style where you find your own table and place your order at the bar. Despite this informal setup, there were plenty of attentive servers circulating to deliver food and keep drinks topped off.
This pub seems to be a go-to spot for libations and classic bar fare—perfect for those looking to unwind with comfort food and a drink. We opted for a lighter option, ordering salads instead of the heavier menu items. The greens and vegetables were notably fresh, which we appreciated. However, the chicken left something to be desired. It appeared to be pre-cooked and reheated, with a texture that made it tough to cut and chew. The Southwest salad in particular lacked the expected fajita-style flavor; the chicken was plain and unseasoned, which fell short of what the dish name suggests.
The Lakehouse Pub has a fun vibe and great potential. With some attention to ingredient quality and a focus on enhancing the flavor profiles of each dish, especially the proteins, it could truly elevate its menu to match the energy of its environment.

This place is phenomenal! My family and I stopped in for lunch and we were extremely happy with the service and the food. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive.
I had the best shrimp tacos of my life! I am a home chef and take my food very seriously…I’m still dreaming about them!!! My husband was also very happy with his beef on weck.
The place was cozy and clean and just an absolute home run all the way around!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great local pub. Food is amazing… Especially the roast beef sandwich and pub chips! Seriously… trust me and try both! It is a bit cramped and small in there… It can be tight to navigate or find a seat. Cozy atmosphere, but avoid sitting near the front doors if possible as it gets cold in winter. They have food available later at night… I think until either 10-11PM on weekdays. Consistent. Good quality. Good times!

What a perfect lunch spot! Great food and food.
Had the roast beef sandwich (aka beef on weck) – WOW! Really good and the horseradish was fresh and strong.
The Reuben was superb.
The “chip and dip” with house made chips was OUTSTANDING, such a simple appetizer but sooo good!

We went for a late lunch at 2 pm on a Friday. By that time the summer crowd was just beginning to thin and we were seated immediately. I ordered Buffalo chicken tenders which came with a side of fries. Although the chicken was plentiful, the over-cooked, dark-brown tenders were far from being tender. What made them just edible was the excellent buffalo wing sauce. The fries on the other hand were inedible. My guess is that they sat under a heat lamp so long they were dried out in the middle, limp, and only slightly above room temp when delivered. Our waitress was very busy and didn’t check back with us after serving our food, so I wasn’t able to point out the problem until the bill was presented and she noticed I hadn’t eaten the fries. She apologized and kindly brought out an order of their excellent macaroni salad to go. My wife fared much better with a roast beef sandwich and a side of the macaroni salad. My feeling about this restaurant is that the kitchen does not practice adequate quality control and the wait staff are asked to cover too many tables, so your experience may be hit or miss. UPDATE-1: We had much better luck on our second visit to this restaurant during Skaneateles Restaurant Week. The french fries we’re hot and crisp and the beef sandwich was excellent. Increased my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars.

Unwelcoming to my adult children and I. As we walked in, their cold stare was bitter & bartender had a bad attitude toward us. NEVER going there again. We (4 people) wanted to order apps, dinner, drinks & dessert, but not at that run down, judgemental place.

In my whole life, I have NEVER had wings like this! These were unbelievable. Super crispy, while being saucy. Honestly the best Buffalo wings I have ever had. We were in town from Rochester for an overnight at the spa, but will certainly make a trip back to Skaneateles JUST for an order of these!
Other than the wings, this place was super clean. The staff was friendly and fun. They were managing the capacity well and had dividers at the bar. It was a very comfortable outing for those that may be hesitant to get back out there.

the bar was packed, and it was a little pricey but fun.

They made great espresso martinis, but the inside of this place smelled like actual poop. Like, they had to have a plumbing issue. It was so overwhelming we ended up leaving quickly.
