🍺 Maggie’s on the River | Watertown, NY
Overall Beer Rating: 🍺🍺🍺🍺 (4/5 Beers) Some places sneak up on you.

Patty's Pub | Ottawa ON
Overall Rating: 5/5 Beers Address: 1186 Bank Street Ottawa, Ontario Canada Website: No Facebook Page: Yes Our Order: Corned Beef on Rye is Awesome What we think: This is where the leprechauns hang out. Truly an Irish feel to this bar. Sometimes just because it says it is an Irish pub is always the case, but here, you feel it and it is appreciated.

Smugglers Cafe at Hosmer's Marina | Ogdensburg NY
5 Beers 54 E River St. Ogdendsburg, NY Eat, Drink, Fish! This place has a great location on the water. Summer and all year long, it does have that 'go-to' feel.

The food has always been really good and we never leave hungry but satisfied, the several times we have found ourselves there. I do recommend a visit and get a great selection of drin
