Ale House - VESTAL

Honestly, the volume of the music is something I can’t rave about enough. I know you might be thinking, "Who pays attention to the music volume?" but I do! The playlist features classics from Fleetwood Mac, the Rolling Stones, soft rock, and great tracks from the '90s and early 2000s. It’s such a relief to find a bar that isn't blasting bro-country music. Being here feels like stepping into a European bar while enjoying American tunes. I can't stress how laid-back this place is. Actually, please don’t visit because I want to keep this amazing spot all to myself!

What a nice place to visit when you're on the road and you're staying at a hotel. Awesome staff, lots of food options, good selection of beer and liquors. I had the Pork Spiedie which I could not pronounce the second part of the name because I was not a local LOL It was quite good and very tender. Did I mention the staff was awesome Price per person: $10–20

Fantastic beer and excellent service! Thank you! Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This restaurant offers an impressive selection of beers, featuring a wide array of high-quality craft options. The food is excellent as well. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff is very welcoming. I will definitely be returning. The average price per person is $30–50. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5. I highly recommend the Beer Project Petersbier and the Pork Spiedie.

The place to go for amazing beers on draft. Hill Farmstead, Grimm, Upstate, Other Half, Thin Man, and Zero Gravity to name a few. Owner Erin and staff know beers and their food. Get the spiede pork, expect a platter of crackers and excellent cheese to be served when ordered. Awesome regulars that seem to have found their second or third homes at. I'm looking at you Phyllis! PS. Don't be surprised to find a very helpful and informative owner on site. PSS. Hope my new growler was not from your personal trip there. PSSS. If you tell me it was in the next 16 hours I'll deliver it back before I leave for Buffalo, if later I'll bring it back on my next trip.
