McDuff's Pub

While living in Potsdam for the summer, I've checked out McDuff's a few times - for Stanley Cup hockey and weekly Wing Night. I've enjoyed every visit and can recommend them to you! A very clean and friendly village tavern overall. I can now expect cheery and friendly service from the bar, especially Brittany. The wings are very good and I have liked every sauce I have had. Coming from Western NY, I am a bit of a wing snob, and I have not been disappointed. The homemade blue cheese is tasty. They tend to serve it room temp, which I am not a fan of, but it isn't necessarily bad. Stop in and have some beer and wings! No better combination.

wonderful corner pub full of history i remember from my college daze in the 1980s. very recently renovated under new ownership, the food is excellent! open for lunch on weekends, now, which is my sweet spot. cheers to McDuff's 1986 in 2025! pic: Bartender Moody makes 4 leaf clover in Guinness head 😋

Continuing my journey through Potsdam eateries after watching Clarkson Women’s hockey, stopped at McDuff’s for the first time. Place is kind of oddly laid out. Didn’t really have the cozy Irish pub vibe. More sports bar. Waitress seemed to on her own with a decent sized crowd which slowed service some. The Buffalo Chicken Poutine app was huge and had a very unique flavor. It had a bit of a kick to it, so if you don’t like hot (spicy) food you may want to pass on this one. I enjoyed my signature Reuben, however the fries weren’t good. Kind of soggy. Grease might need to be changed. They have a few televisions on the wall with various sporting events on and a couple of electric dart boards.

I went to visit my bf in NY, we went down twice, once for St. Patricks Day night fun. Which let me tell you was an awesome time. Such fun atmosphere and the locals are friendly looking to have a good time. Staff is super friendly and know how to make a drink. There was live music that night. Lots of fun. The second visit, the place was much quieter, staff still on point, we tried the bangers and mash, we had not had this dish before, it was delicious, we were both happy and full when we left.

Amazing experience! Food was all fantastic. We got truffle fries, a few burgers, and pizzas. Fast and friendly service! Highly recommend!!!
