Rustic Barn Pub

Went here on a recent Friday night with my wife and sat at the bar. The first bartender we encountered was very friendly, but seemed annoyed by a drunk at the bar who kept hitting on her. This pace is a drinkers establishment. It was loud, but we were sitting at the bar. We ordered pizza and wings and they were both extra good.
We were ready to leave and I presented a Groupon. Unfortunately, I neglected to read the fine print and the Groupon was for lunch only (useless to me) We had been chatting with the manager (I assume) and I complimented her for supporting live music. The live band schedule was packed she seemed proud of it.
In the end the manager honored our Groupon without being asked and I thought that was a classy move. This place was pretty cool with great food and, cold beer, and live music

went here for dinner on a sat eve (early — around 6:00). Very cozy; had a great pastrami sandwich (they make their own); local but friendly crowd. good beer. Very cool would go again

Was there for a holiday after and the bar wasn’t that busy previous to us (party of maybe 20) arriving. Service was HORRIBLE. Had to wait for more than 25 minutes for a drink. People arrived after us and were served before us. Bartender was RUDE. Heard the food was good there too. I will never know. Won’t be going back that’s for sure! The need a better bartender. Someone who likes there job!

Awesome place! I went there to see a band it was really great! I love the cozy environment and there is plenty of room to dance! There is quite a lot of parking which made going there easier! The food was great, people were friendly, and the bar had a lot of different beers to choose from! Definitely going back!

First time for everything I guess but everything started off so well.
My friend and I selected a high top table that looked nice because it was at a window but not a good thing in sight out the window to view upon.
The bartender/​waitress; probably more so a bartender asked us what we wanted to drink and gave us our menus with a insert for the daily specials. There were about 5 special items with two soups of the day.
I told are server we had a Groupon to use which included food and drink. She was good at recommending things and very accommodating. We were told that all the meat was smoked in their smoker and the burgers were hand packed, very alluring indeed.
I was recommended the special the beef brisket; philly style with peppers and onions. My friend ordered the special burger with bacon and blu cheese.
My brisket was sliced with thin and served in a hoagie roll roasted a little more than what I would have liked since the edges of the meat were crispy. It may have been ok if it was oozing with cheese because that would been how a original philly is done and the cheese would have held up well during roasting.
My friend liked her burger but agreed there could have been more of it but she said it tasted okay. On the side of both entrees came a side of fries, the fries were very very good. Along with that came a small dish of another side either macaroni, potato salad or coleslaw. We were recommended the Mac salad which was good.
I usually pass on dessert but they had a homemade ice cream with cookies, in a jar that I had to try. I enjoyed it and compared it to the recent buy in Massachusetts’s of cake in the same kind of jar and thought these to be better but maybe because of the additional ice cream.
Service was good until we got the check which she recited the bill totals to us; the price before and after the groupon and walked away with the check in her hand. Felt kind of weird about it all and never had a bill not given to me at any place I ever eaten at before. Maybe she was distracted because other customers came in.
The entrees were both $ 9.99 and we had 3 craft like beers and dessert which was $ 3.99 each so we figured in our head the total has to be about $ 48 what she was stating and tipped her accordingly.
I would go back to give it another whirl another time and heard to try the pizza.

This is a terrible place. We came down from floating and thought this would be a great place to stop in. Our drinks were served in kid size glasses and we were charged for EACH refill ($ 3/​refill), although the waitress didn’t feel it was important to tell us. Our food was terrible. I had chicken wings that closely resembled pigeon wings due to their size. Another order of a peppers, onion, and cheese quesadilla ended up as just a tortilla with warm cheese. I will never ever go back here and I hope no one else does.

After my original review, I was contacted by one of the managers here. She profusely apologized for our subpar experience and promised to make it up to us; she explained that our waitress had recently recovered from some serious health issues and had probably come back to work sooner than she should have.
A second visit proved to be much more enjoyable, and we weren’t charged for each iced tea that we drank. I don’t know if this was a courtesy just for us, but in any event it definitely satisfied me.
Food is good, especially considering this is more of a bar atmosphere. Neat place overall.

Came here to get some food on ⁵⁄₈ — they were charging $ 10 covers for what appeared to be a band or keroke. I literally just wanted to order some food to go, then head home after a dreadful day. The guy up front says «The only way you are getting food is if you pay the $ 10 cover.» So, seeing as I had a ~$ 25 food order — I wasn’t about to add $ 10 just to come in then leave with my food. I didn’t come all this way for some of my favorite food to be turned away. Never coming here again. The guy working the door was very rude. Sure, if I was here to have a few drinks, that would be fine, I’d gladly eat the $ 10 door cover — but given the size of my food order, the dreadful day I had at work, and the reprehensible attitude of the guy working the door — I can say with a high degree of confidence that I will never be coming here again. I prefer establishments that have a little flexibility with their customers. I’m not asking for much — I just wanted to get an order of wings and some other assorted items to eat back at home. Feeling totally dejected right now.

Went to see a band that was scheduled to play there. We went early to eat dinner. The food was excellent and good prices. They smoke their own meat. I had the Reuben it was terrific. The chicken wings and chicken wing pizza was amazing. The space is small so the music was loud but not uncomfortably so.

The Rustic Barn has been a local landmark for at least 3 decades. Owners Eric and Judy Rumpler owned this place and sold it to the current owner, Jody B. She has kept the same great atmosphere with one exception, the food. It’s outstanding.
They now smoke all thier own meat here. They buy it fresh from a local supplier and smoke it on the premises. The owner’s father is knowledgeable in smoking meats and has pased this on to thier chef, who has given it his own twist. Pork, brisket, chicken, ribs and pastrami are just the start. Let me tell you the meat is tender… fall off the bone tender. You can taste the smoke in every bite but not over powering!
We started with chicken wings, garlic parm & slammer.
For dinner my husband had the Piggy Back Slam Burger, with cheese and a generous helping of pulled pork. My understanding was that it, was right on the money! (I speak «fullmouthize») I had the BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich with coleslaw on top… my favorite way to eat any pulled pork sandwich! Again that great smoked flavor was right there, but not so over powering as to lose the pork and BBQ flavor. Both meals came with sides we chose the fries which were cooked perfect. Nice and crispy on the out side and tender and hot on the inside.
They have live music on Friday and Saturday nights. There’s even an open mic night that features local musicians and bands. We found that the music was a bit loud which makes it hard to have conversation with a companion or group of people. (Thats why only 4 stars) This should by no means stop you from coming here.
In the summertime there is a deck for enjoying the summer nights. And a private party room upstairs, free of charge and a full catering menu for your next event.
We will definitely be back to try thier Pastrami Reubens. This is another favorite of ours… we are already druleing!
The owner’s are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of. The service can be slow on busy nights, so sit back and have another beer and enjoy the music! You can’t always be first, but you can be next. :-)

Great food. First time here. Seeing the band «the wheel». (Grateful dead tribute band) very good!!! Food was outstanding. Waitress/​bartender was awesome! Thank you for great hospitality!!!

I’ve driven passed The Rustic Barn for the past ten years on my way up north and each time I pass I want to go in. Well, finally we made it in last week and there was a reason I’ve always felt drawn to this incredibly welcoming space. Warm and inviting was the vibe as we walked in.
You know the feeling when you go into a bar as an out-​of-​towner and the music stops (cue the needle scratch on the record) and everyone stares at you? Well that ain’t going to happen here. All friendly vibes here. Plus there’s a fireplace raging (in the winter) and live great music.
It’s a perfect spot to hang out and grab a beer. They also have food on the menu, we didn’t eat though. Local beers on tap, I had the Davidson IPA and it was fantastic! It’s a local beer from Glens Falls NY.
The proprietors were fantastic, friendly and awesome people. I love this place and will definitely return often.
