Big Slide Brewery & Public House

It's not your typical bar with typical bar food. A unique menu & great atmosphere. Our waiter Mikey gave us great suggestions as well. I had their fish of the day, halibut with lobster risotto. Phenomenal! And my husband had venison chops which was also amazing!

I generally don't leave negative reviews. This may actually be my first. I also understand everyone has a bad day. Nevertheless, we probably waited 20 to 25 minutes for water and silverware. The water seemed particularly troublesome as if they were waiting for rain.. although rain may have helped clean rhe sticky tables. Our server did try her best and kindly apologized for the delay which is why we stayed. The $17 cheese board as an appetizer was a failed attempt at elegant dining and would be terrible on its best day. It was left essentially untouched. The draft beer selection was good, the choice I made based on description was a bad one. I failed to enjoy the mixture of lukewarm apple cider vinegar and barn floor mop water, although my second choice was a solid five out of ten. (To her credit, our server bought the second as we waited another 45 minutes or so for 75 percent of our meals to arrive). The misses had a wrap-super natural and organic themed and declined even a third bite. It went the way of the cheeseboard. (Stale crackers and dried apricots with dates, garnished with low-end but strong smelling) I went the safe route with a small pepperoni pizza as the head chef had a braided beard and no hair net. It counted as food, better than the cheeseboard or beer, but probably a taste toss-up between that and Dijorno. An hour or so in, our server asked if my son needed a box for the cheese pizza he ordered although he was the quarter of our group of four who never received any food. Our server took that off the bill as well. The chicken tenders or hamburger our youngest had was sufficient and completed. Again, to her credit, the service issue was not all on the woman waiting on our table. She had a weak supporting cast. The bill came for a hundred dollars or so and I decided to take the high road, pay it, smile, tell them we understand, and leave an uncharacteristically small tip of 15%. We'd had a great day and decided not to let this spoil the trip. I wouldn't visit again.

Great experience at this brewery. The food was excellent everything my wife and I had was great the beer selections was large and delicious. I already look forward to my next visit this summer.

We sat in the bar area to grab a bite to eat and a couple beers. Awesome decision! I always give major kudos to bartenders that wait on folks that aren't sitting at the bar. It can be such a pain in the butt. The bartender that waited on us was spot on. Super nice, quick, and attentive. He was fantastic. The vegan pizza was freaking delicious. Big Slide is our new go to in Lake Placid. Oh, and the beer? Yum! The sour gose was one of the best beers I've ever had.

Visited Lake Placid for the first time with my husband and we loved this brewery! The drinks and food were delicious both times we ate here. The first time we had pizza and the second time he enjoyed a burger and I had an amazing Winter Time Fun Salad. Both visits we made reservations through the Yelp waitlist on the brewery website. It was easy and convenient. I would definitely recommend!
