We visited for lunchtime eats. The service was fantastic. The food looks pretty and is just as tasty. You gotta have the potachos. The outdoor area will be really nice when it warms up. The beer selection is all NY, and quite varied. I love the focus on NY beers, wines, and cheeses.

Cidery with an amazing selection of cider and delicious food! Dry and sweet ciders to pick from. We also had soup and sandwiches and everything was fresh. Inside and outside seating with beautiful views.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The food was amazing, and we loved the ladies behind the bar. The vibe was great. We enjoyed sitting outside, watching the river, and listening to music.

Bill was great to talk to, the chicken wings grilled on the charcoal grill smelled amazing. We had the Cubano sandwich that was huge and delicious! To go with lunch there was a great selection of craft beers. The back patio looking over the Chemung River was a very scenic view. We are definitely coming back here every chance we get!

This is the most charming neighborhood tavern . The food is terrific and there is a wide variety of beer and wine. The interior is warm and welcoming and the view overlooking the Chemung River is beautiful, particularly at sunset. Heaters and a propane fireplace make it cozy even when it gets chilly.We have been here several times and it is consistently good. The staff is always attentive.Chef Glenn made grilled chicken wings. The grilling gave the wings a nice flavor and we choose traditional buffalo sauce. The blue cheese dressing was delicious with tons of blue cheese chunks. YUM.The spinach artichoke dip is also delicious. Wish there was more of it.The PRETZEL is enormous! Crisp outside and fluffy inside with a generous sprinkle of salt. The pretzel comes with a nice mustard sauce, a cheese sauce and nutella. 3 of us shared this pretzel it is that big!And the best for last..... PICKLE PIZZA! It is actually Glenns Pickle flatbread. dont knock it until you've tried it! Of course you need to like dill pickles!Dont miss the little gem if you are in the Elmira area!

Delightful craft beer-centered pub on the west side of Elmira. Not noticing the parking lot, I still found street parking no problem and walked into what looks like a hotel or a multifamily residence, right on the Mighty Chemung River.As it was rather early on a Friday afternoon, I noticed few others there for the beer. Something on the order of 30 taps, with way more focus on cider, fruit beers, and sours than I prefer, but still plenty of New York beer on offer, and quite inexpensive as well. The bartender was chatty and gave a little history lesson as I enjoyed a Wagner Valley black lager and Hothouse porter and wandered onto the back deck for pretty views of Clinton Island in the river. So very pleased to find this great little pub!
