🍺 Maggie’s on the River | Watertown, NY
Overall Beer Rating: 🍺🍺🍺🍺 (4/5 Beers) Some places sneak up on you. From the outside, Maggie’s on the River doesn’t scream “destination.” Step inside, though, and suddenly you’re posted up with a cold beer, staring out at the Black River, wondering how long you can justify staying for just one more. 📍 Address: 500 Newell St, Watertown, NY 🌐 Website: maggiesontheriver.com 📘 Facebook: Maggie’s on the River 🌊 First Impressions The interior opens wide to river views that i

Harry McLean's Pub | Merrickville ON
Overall Rating: 2/5 Beers Address: 111 St. Lawrence St. Merrickville, Ontario Website: No Facebook Page: Yes Our Order: Not the soup What we think: Great little spot in a very little area in Ontario. Old fashion feels to the place. A: Bang your head, tap your feet, flop on the floor, service is slow, and no way to fix it. The small bar area is cozy but impersonal.

Sergi's | Canton NY
5 Beers 31 Main St Canton, NY 13617 Work your way to the back, and walk through the pizza-hungry people waiting for their garlic fix. Many tables but not always room for you. The decor is old-school Italian and well used. The food is tasty, service is pleasant but overly friendly. Already made their mark in the small town of Canton, they serve you well and feed you plenty. We ate pizza and drank beer...is there any other way? Food: Great Pizza, not greasy which is a plus
