Saranac Lake Bars and Lounges

Downtown, The Waterhole is a local legend where you’ll find lively libations and a music lounge with an eclectic lineup. For a more intimate vibe, head down the street to The Great Hall Bar at Hotel Saranac, where the bar’s 1920s inspiration comes to life through artfully crafted cocktails and a cozy setting that channels the hotel’s storied past. Grizle T's offers a wide selection of craft beers, with food in the back (The Scullery), and a new event space below (The Garagery).

Saranac Lake Breweries

Ready to sample the region’s finest brews? Stop by Blue Line Brewery, Bitters & Bones, or the newest addition, River Trail Beerworks, each with its own creative spins on craft beer. A short drive will take you to Hex & Hop in Bloomingdale or Ray Brook Brewhouse in Raybrook—both celebrated for small-batch, handcrafted brews that showcase their passion for flavor. Saranac Lake may not be the craft beer capital of New York yet, but it’s certainly earning its reputation.
