The Scene: – – A spectacular monster of a club, the vast Parting Glass is known for its music, its beer, its whiskey, and its cuisine, all of which tend to be thoroughly infused with strong Irish, Gaelic, Celtic, Scotch or English flavors. The nicest thing about this very nice venue is that its size and layout give you the opportunity to tap (pun only marginally intended) into any one of the house's strong suits without having to be exposed to the other ones, unless you want to be. So you can stop by for a quiet dinner without having to yell and clap for (or with) the…

A bit of the Clover in Saratoga

OK, maybe even stating "Irish Pub" can be redundant. Although I am not of this persuasion this is a great bar. Perhaps the best in Saratoga Springs. Many of the other places here are either dives catering to 23 year old drunks, or upscale joints postering as Manhattan bistros. This is a real place. Its fun, the food is great, the beer is great and both the staff and the customers are enjoyable. Depending on what time of year you visit the experience will be very different. In the summer expect a lot of track people hanging here after the races. Bigger than it looks, so make sure to explore the entire place!
- Pros: beer, food, layout

A Must Stop
by jreddington at Citysearch
My must stop whenever I'm in town, race season or out.
Friendly spot when you're a solo diner on business.
Beer choice easy, Guiness. Food choice is the tough part. Great Italian food but I'm always drawn to that great O'Reilly's sandwich.
- Pros: Friendly Staff, Friendly Patrons
- Cons: Crowded, Race Seaso
