The best bars & nightlife in Fort Edward

“Marine Corps Veteran owned and operated, Slickfin Brewing Company LLC keeps around ten small-batch ales and lagers flowing, with 32oz crowlers if you’re headed home. No kitchen, so bring your own or order from Stumpy’s via their taproom menu and settle in with friends.”

“Wayside Inn nails the premium-spirits thing with inventive, well-balanced cocktails built from artisanal ingredients, plus a vibe that works just as well for easy catch-ups as it does for a slightly dressier night out. Friendly, dialed-in bartenders make it feel like your new dependable go-to.”

“Lawrence Street Tavern is the East End spot for Thursday blues, NFL Ticket on 13 TVs, and the area’s only sports bar offering OTB with EZ-BET machines. Grab a pint, catch a race or the game, and remember they can host your next 100-person hang with food-truck partners.”

“Mint keeps it local with a farm-to-table, scratch kitchen and a bar turning out craft cocktails and organic wines. Seasonal menus change often, and plenty of gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options make group dinners easy. Indoor or patio, it’s an easy go-to for Sunday brunch or date night.”

“The Grateful Den is family owned since 2020 and keeps the vibe lively with 15 rotating craft lines, open mic Wednesdays, trivia Thursdays, and live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Pro tip, order the Buffalo Chicken Crunch Rolls and The Den’s poutine with garlic-breaded curds and cheesy Garcia sauce.”

“Falcons Brewhouse nails that upscale-but-comfy vibe where you can linger over specialty coffee, a cocktail, a glass of wine, or a cold beer, then stick around for food that actually keeps up. It’s a handy go-to for meeting friends or booking a private event right down the road in Hudson Falls.”

“Locals' favorite Bullpen Tavern keeps Downtown Glens Falls fed and entertained with homemade food, seasonal craft brews on 13 taps, and high-def screens spanning the bar so every sports game really is on. Award-winning wings, Kobe burgers, phillies and Suite 216 for private parties seal the deal.”
