Sink your teeth into the Late Summer Heat Burger. It’s a mouth-watering 8 oz. beef patty with pepper jack cheese, grilled jalapeno, avocado relish, field greens and jalapeno aioli – served with russet house fries. Plus, choose a refreshing Summertini cocktail, a Sloop Juice Bomb draft, or a Neapolitan Float – chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream in creamy vanilla soda. And don’t forget to take home a free souvenir pint glass!

At The Upstate Tavern, we take pride in featuring some of the best regional beers on tap and under cap. We curate our own collection with pride, sourcing selections from award-winning brewers as well as up-and-coming New York breweries. 

While our dinner menu has a New York accent on flavors, we thicken it up even more on the spirits menu, celebrating some world-class distilleries right here in the Empire State. Try one neat, up or in your favorite cocktail. You’ll also find some sippy wines from New York, California, Italy and France. Taste test anyone?
