The Barrel

We had such a great dinner in the heated igloo! The igloo was so warm and they even provided blankets. I had a fantastic cocktail called The Frostbite. Vanilla vodka, coconut, and Malibu. I had the short rib which was delicious as was my husband’s burger. When we come back to Lake George we’re definitely stopping here again!

Honestly, save yourself the effort and just buy dinner from the Tops or stick to the resort if you’re at the Sagamore. Spend a lot of time in the Lake George area and the food at most places is “ok” at best, but this was our worst takeout. I strongly recommend almost anywhere else. Ordered a simple Caesar salad with shrimp added and burger with tater tots. Nothing difficult, nothing crazy. You could make a better Caesar by stopping at tops, buying bagged lettuce, and then leaving it sit on the counter for an hour or two. The lettuce was wilted and shrimp were tough and rubbery. A Caesar should be at least crisp. Who messes up the single most simple salad in history that had pre-made dressing on the side?? The burger was cooked as ordered (a positive!), but two bites in I found a nasty hair

I'd give it a 4 if it was a bar, but as a restaurant a 3 star rating. Food wasn't that impressive, just above average for a bar. My barrel bowl came out warm, not hot. My wife's french onion soup was very small and mostly just soggy croutons. It seemed cozy in the bar area and there was a back section with a pool table- a good place to catch a game. There were kids eating there so kid friendly-ish with their own menu, but on a Saturday night they had a live band so it was a bit loud for my toddler. I'd look around for another spot to eat dinner if I was going back with my wife, but would go with some buddies wanting comfort food and a beer.

Upon walking up to the restaurant we were greeted with the cozy campfire pit and the welcoming smell of the fire. A cute smores station available for use. We dined in an igloo and it was an amazing evening. The atmosphere was quiet but could still hear the live music inside which was great! The brussel sprouts were absolutely amazing as was the pretzel. Drinks were delightful. The dinner did not disappoint either! Our waiter Evan was super courteous and attentive. One of the best dining experiences my man and I have had. Thank you so much!

Perfect winter restaurant/bar/dry-curling spot in Bolton Landing! Got lucky and was able to play some no-ice curling while the kids slept in the car 10 feet away. The food was actually great too. Poutine fries were tasty. And the wings were super good. Globes provide a great spot to eat, warm up. There was a band playing in the main bar area. Awesome local beer selection. Get reservations way in advance during busy season. Can’t wait to come back.
