Corey H.Roy, the owner and bartender for the night, is quick, fun, and charming. Great craft cocktails, warm atmosphere with some 90s bangers playing. The dogs roaming are adorable. We played Uno in the game room. It was a nice break from the heat and hustle and bustle of the street. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

Kate MakaiThis place is awesome!! The croissant egg sandwich and iced latte I got were exceptional. The interior is beautifully restored with gorgeous stained glass windows behind the full bar. Definitely not to be missed. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. An absolute highlight of Old Forge!

TThis place is such a gem. The overall aesthetic and drinks were divine. We were there probably mid afternoon on a Saturday and the club jams were banging, I wanted to stay for so much longer! Sad that this place is 3 hours away, but such a worthwhile stop.

Life in the ADKThe Waiting Room is a combination of espresso bar and cocktail bar, lol. It's the perfect spot to wind up or wind down. You can sit and relax, meet up with friends, listen to live music (check their music schedule) and have the most amazing cocktail you could ever want! I love the vibe, I love the décor and I absolutely love the Georgian Holiday! (my new favorite drink) Their espresso bar is awesome and has a quaint area that you can relax and chill or get some work done, whichever you need. It should be a must stop for you when you're in the Old Forge area!
