Olive Ridley’s

I’ve always liked this place… and I always seem to come at odd hours. The food is classic bar grub (fish and chips is the sleeper here). 4.75 for a nice sized vodka and lime. Love the tiled floors as well. This place has some age to it but very enjoyable spot while in New York’s version of Edmonton in winter.

Since Me and my Wife has discovered Olive Ridley’s we have taken our children and family members to dine in with us on a regular basis about 2 – 3 times a week, and has become me and my Wifes go to spot to eat in Plattsburgh. The staff is wonderful and the food is great but this all changed on the night of Feb 7^th. They had a new staff member working as bartender and waiting on tables that night, from the beginning the bartender/​waitress had a bad attitude all throughout the night we had to seek her out for service, including serving us food we didn’t even order and giving us an attitude about it. As the night was ending it came time to pay our bill we were ridiculously overcharged (20 beers in 6 hours between 2 responsible adults) which was still paid but when we asked to speak to the manager about our bill we were yelled at and told to leave. As we were leaving the premise the bartender slapped one of our guests in the face and pushed her to the ground, resulting in a broken ankle, my wife went to help her and was treated with the same treatment punched in the face and pushed to the ground resulting in several bruises. We love Olive Ridley’s and know it’s not their fault, but I hope if Olive Ridley’s cares about loyal customers they do make the correct action and reprimand this bartender for her unnecessary force of violence which was not warranted toward us at all
UPDATE: We never did receive a phone call to rectify this blatant assault by their staff member

Be aware when using a credit card to double check your bank account. Twice now I’ve used my card at this establishment and the amount has been deducted twice for the same transaction. I was told this is what their system does for every transaction as a preauthorization and the $ will be credited back in a couple days. I’m not impressed.

This is my go to joint now in Plattsburgh.
The staff is awesome. From Deb, Natalie, and D… These guys are genuine and real. No BS here.
The crowd is hit and miss. The bands vary, and offer something for everyone. They also do karaōke nights and request nights. My friend Skippy spins the beats here on Wednesday and Friday so be sure to check home out. Good dude.

One of the better bars in Plattsburgh for the «already out of college» crowd. Good beer selection, friendly bartenders and a good array of pub food. Usually have live music on Saturday nights. This is my go-​to bar whenever I am in town.

I dig the vibe of this place. Having just moved here, I was walking around town with a buddy and we couldn’t walk by Olive Ridleys without going in. The large garage door makes the bar feel very airy, which I liked.
We just had a drink; gin and tonics, which were good and well priced. Open mic night was in session, with two kids jamming the whole time we were there. It was not crowded, but I suspect that will change as PSU gets back in session.
So my 5 stars comes simply from the atmosphere. I’ll be back to try the food!

Great chicken wings & pizza. They’re house salad with bals dressing is good. Good service & environment.

This is a fun bar, which hosts local music, but is more of a sit down than a dancing place.
Definitely a local joint, but a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere with outdoor seating.
I was pleasantly surprised with the chicken wings, which were very good. I can’t say the same for the rest of the food, which was alright, but nothing to write home about.
The service was not notable, but I was quickly won over by the feel of the place.

The service was terrible after waiting 2 hours the food was served one person at a time slowly. The pizza was not too good. It was hard for me to even rate 1 star!

Terrible service terrible food terrible prices. may be okay for just a drink but if your looking for dinner, save yourself the aggravation and SKIP IT.

Horrible service!!! After waiting forever we got served in drips and drabs once one person finished the next got served. Food was bearable at best! Left ¾ of my meal and stopped at a convenience store for something to eat.

I’m new to the area and have been here just once, but I really liked it. It was nice to have a drink at the bar by the fireplace to warm up, and the service was friendly. Also happened to catch some live jazz music in the main room, which was a nice surprise. I thought the place had a cozy and comfortable vibe, and looking forward to going back again soon.
