Food was greasy and gross, cheap frozen garbage. Ran down dump. Not what it used to be
Great food and service! My husband and I really enjoyed our meal.
Great spot for low key beer and food. Angel was so friendly and welcoming from behind the bar. Very nice family owned business! Will be back!
The best Irish pub in Saratoga,good food,friendly bartenders and some very good music
Saw a great band Nocturne Troubadours.
Great Irish bar good food and service!
Its a cute restaurant with a Irish bar in the back with darts.
Best Irish pub in upstate NY. Always a live music hot spot with a great stage in back with ample seating. This is the real deal...not some lame Irish themed me too joint. Throw down a pint with the boys and enjoy the deep history that is the Glass
Good food, good service,r reasonable prices, and pub atmosphere. The sausages in the Bangers and Mash were excellent. The french fries are really browned up and crispy - perfect.
I’ve been going to the parting glass for nearly 20 years and over the last 2-3 it has continued to go downhill.My most recent order was ordered through a delivery app and they were out of, 3 of 4 items and took them 35 minutes to contact me to even let me know. I’m not sure how you are out of soups and sandwich items mid summer during track season but they were.In general the restaurant and bar have become more unkept over the years, cleaning is obviously not a priority and as I said above, to be out of food mid summer during track season is wild. Place has survived off nostalgia primarily and needs to be brought up to date with better management and ownership.Would love to see them turn it around but it needs help in many areas to do so. I would choose elsewhere until that time comes.
The band was great and so was the food. They had outdoor seating and was not crowded at all. Over all a good time. Give it a try.
I have never eaten such a disgusting and reheated food. Woooooow. Mtf
Old school Irish pub. They have alcohol and a small selection of Irish bar food. Its not fancy, and thats what makes it great!
How should one rate a dining establishment in which the server ignores you at your table for the first 15 minutes after you are seated, then finally realizes he needs to wait on a table... except he waits on the table of 4 that arrived 5 minutes after you?Perhaps the review should be based on the server forgetting to provide the table with silverware or napkins, even after the dinner has been served?Or, is it best to base the review on a dinner order of Open Faced Hot Turkey, served with beef gravy (which tasted the same as gravy from a can), instant mashed potatoes and generic slices of turkey (eerily similar to deli turkey, all of the same thickness and consistency)?Perhaps basing the review on an order of traditional Irish Bangers and Mash, which was also served with instant mashed potatoes and the same beef gravy from a can?In retrospect, it might be best if the review be based on the lack of cleanliness for the dining establishment (dirty floors, torn chairs, card tables used as pseudo dining tables, windows and windowsills which were caked with dirt, dust and random leftover food stuffs).If you are keen on satisfying your hunger in a dining establishment which more closely resembles a college dive bar, that also grudgingly serves food (conveniently during the summer tourist season, perhaps to take advantage of the many out-of-town guests to visit Saratoga who are sadly unaware of just how dreck this dining establishment really is).
We all had the Triple Crown burger, my son and I didnt like the meat, very dry and not tasty. Fries were over salted. My husband did like the burger. Waitress was ok, came over once yo refill the Pepsi. Been to better in Saratoga
The Parting Glass has changed a bit since it was rescued financially. The menu is much smaller and some old favorites are gone, but the service was excellent and what I did order (Bangers and Mash) was a 2 meal stellar portion.
Our table of 4 were the only indoor diners, so service was excellent, as was the food. ORielly (corned beef on french toast) alone is always worth the visit.
Good food, good service.
Unfortunately we reserved a St Patrick night table for dinner, drinks and a band.... they failed to deliver and suffered a major setback.When I arrived to meet my group, I was told a chef walked out, the kitchen was behind and they would start taking orders again at some point. The waitress didnt offer chips, dessert or anything while we wait.Drinks took so long that we had to go to the bar to get them ourselves. While there we heard our server tell the bartender that she was swamped. The band ended and she handed us our check without ever following back up about food. I was beyond starving...I havent gone out much and this was like a big finger in our face. I ate Wendys drive through for St. Patrick Days dinner. At least potatoes are Irish right?Are they even allowed to serve drinks w/out food during COVID?Years ago, I would have rated it top notch but this experience was far from how I remember them in their prime.
Great place to grab a Guinness
Our first indoor dining experience since March; we were lucky enough to visit on a day when Reuben soup was the special- SO GOOD!! Made my anxiety of being inside melt away. We have visited many times before over the 40 years and hope to be able to continue for another 40! Thank you for awesome food and friendly welcoming staff!
Fun place, middle-aged crowd not a bunch of kids. Like the fact they had live music
Great food very nice Irish bad
One of my go to places when Im in town. Food is always great, drinks are strong, and the staff is always pleasant. Great environment for all ages.
Great service and great food.
Always fun. Rustic, good food and reasonable pricing.
Nice pub with live music, great atmosphere, good pint of Guinness and a friendly bartender. And wasnt too crowded when we were there so we felt relatively safe despite covid
Had a Wonderful Dinner. Would definitely go back. The Bread pudding was Awesome !
Live music was fun and the waitress was sweet and attentive. Bartender wasnt very friendly but there is a nice mix of ages and not a meat market. A better atmosphere for grown up adults.
Not exactly vegan friendly but its ok.
We ate on the front porch 😋. We should have eaten in back where the sun was , but the food was plentiful & good.
It was ok at best. Server came to the table twice
Disappointed in the service and the meal when asked to speak to the manager there was none just a shift leader. I could see if they were overly busy and short staff but this wasn’t the case and a manager should of been there !!!!!!
Its possible this place really is five star, but I was there to dance as part of a Dance convention, and felt that my dancing was not fully accommodated - but most of my issues were beyond the control of The Parting Glass, so would be no fault of theirs. They did push all the tables and chairs out of the way. But when youve been dancing all day on a nice wood floor, to come into a bar floor... It was just a little too sticky to dance in a manner that I really wanted to dance. Did have a lot of very nice ambience.
Great Irish bar, super food
Poor service, had to ask for silverware, napkins, refills. It was not busy, but the servers were busy on their phones and chatting amongst themselves. Food not cooked as ordered. Wouldnt waste my time going again.
Great place food is delicious been there couple of times will highly recommend to anyone
Been coming here for 42 years and great food, beer and atmosphere.
Unfortunately we didn’t have the best experience. Service was poor and the food wasn’t great. Took forever to get drinks, then the food took way too long. One meal came out first, then all the other meals came out 10-15 MINUTES LATER. Didn’t get everything we ordered and had to ask again for it. The bill also had a few things messed up, which we had to point out.
This is one of the last places left that reminds me of Saratoga before it became so upscale. Its a down to earth Irish Pub with a great selection of beer and fantastic food.The staff is friendly and the kitchen is open late, so we never have a problem getting dinner after we put the horses away, clean up and head back into town.The Parting Glass is not fancy or new, but it is an iconic Saratoga establishment that will take you back a couple of decades. This is a place you can enjoy a good beer and rub elbows with some local insiders, like it was before the big money rolled in.
Im not much of a drinker, so I cant properly rate this popular Saratoga Irish pub. (I was there for an event and ordered a diet soda.) Our service was nothing special, but I did learn that the bartender was waiting on tables for the first time ever, and he was taking care of the whole front room. I ordered some food, and it was good. Some of the people I was dining with had some strange things happen with their food orders, but not enough to ruin the evening. The next time I get back there, hopefully things will go more smoothly.
A tasteful and authentic American take on an Irish pub. Great drafts and other beers wines and spirits. full dinners and pub fair. Music and entertainment at times. (Call to confirm)Darts and table games in the backroom, which has a separate bar to support it.Great fun place
We keep going back to this authentic Irish pub. The food is the best pub food around and the Irish coffee is a theatrical production and a work of art. Oh yeah, and it tastes great. On special nights they have GREAT music, both Irish and American.
Well it is and, frankly, always been the premier Irish Bar in the Capital District. For awhile Eamons gave them a good run for their money but that tragic ending secured their position better than any Triple Crown winner. Go there to enjoy the craic and drink and wonderful entertainment!!🍀☘🇮🇪
Waiting for a half an hour to be waited on one waiter serving everyone very dirty. would not request
My wife and I met there in 1982. Weve been going there ever since. The place is in dire need of a drastic makeover. Staff is always cheerful and attentive. Music is top-notch. Food is good, reasonable, and consistent. It can be cold and drafty. Still the BEST pint (Guinness) in Saratoga.
Fantastic Irish pub with great live music. The Brothers Flynn were playing and did an outstanding job. I highly recommend saving some room for their bread pudding.
Meh
...even wearing a mask in these weird COVID-19 times, the Glass still gave my date and me an authentic pub experience ------ great French onion soup...!
My wife and I been coming here for years and the pub food is very good most of the time. Very friendly staff and helpful. Love the concerts that I come to. I recommend this the number one Irish bar in Saratoga Springs
Classic Irish pub. Best Guinness on tap and all the pub fare is excellent.
Nice quaint bar. Good and service greatNice music st night.Very pleasant atomsphere.
Love this Irish pub! Often have live music, plenty of space, a ton of dart boards and pub food. Very casual local feel.
Nice Irish pub, typical of the style. Didnt much care for my sandwich, roast beef was a bit gristly. Other dishes were fine. Very friendly staff, would go back.
Every time weve gone its very low key. Decent beer selection...and the only one that has Kilkenny Ive found. They do a great Irish coffee (with flair). The food is pretty decent and they have several metal tip dart boards in the back.
Ill never get tired of eating here. Super friendly staff, great atmosphere and delicious food.
Live music and fun atmosphere. Prices were reasonable and food was good. Definitely worth checking out if you like Irish food and atmosphere!
Wonderful bartender despite the place being empty due to Covid 19
One of the best irish bars in town. The food is good and portions are HUGE!!! The place gives a good down home feeling very friendly staff. When coming to Saratoga Springs I highly recommend coming here you wont regret it.
It is a fun place with an unusual atmosphere. The food was mostly good. Fish of fish and chips was excellent.
Always loved this place. Great food!
The food here is great! The drinks are a bit pricey but hey its Saratoga! And our bartender Matt was pretty cool too!
I dont know how this place gets away with calling itself an Irish pub. Every Irish dish we tried was absolutely awful. The Guinness Black Bean soup tasted like beef broth and had no hint of Guinness. The Lamb Stew was nothing but huge chunks of potato and carrot. I think we found one piece of lamb in it. The Shephards Pie as over-seasoned. The only good thing we ate was the hot wings. While there, a group of absolutely obnoxious drunks took over the bar and disturbed every other patron in the place. They were so rude that we all thought management should have asked them to leave. Instead, we were only too glad to leave and not come back.
We stopped in for a meal. The food was pretty good. The service was terrible. Waited fifteen minutes to get a drink. Our food took 45 minutes. I wanted another Guinness but it was impossible to get it without going to the bar, only to be ignored by the bartender. When I noted our mediocre experience to a local family, they said thats pretty typical at the parting glass.
Great show!
Great place
The most quaint and friendly Irish bar youll go into.. You WILL keep coming back. Of you lucky when you stop in Forthlin Rd will be the band playing that night. They are awesome.
Fantastic service, thanks Ashley!
Number one Irish Pub in New York state if not the entire USA if not the entire world! Fabulous beer selection and great food music is awesome and they have the best bands!
Food was very good but service was extremely slow. We waited over 20 minutes for a drink we ordered and ended up having to get it from another waitress who was new there. Again food was top notch, but I wouldnt recommend this place if youre looking for a quick bite to eat.
They do have a wide array of beers, but theyre not that awesome in general. Food looked authentic but as if it missed a little something.They have live shows and many dart boards and tournaments, or so it seemed. Went on a Saturday afternoon, and the experience was a little dull. Consider going later for something more lively.
The parting glass is always a good time. I havent eaten there but the friendliness of the staff is Stella. Good Irish tunes and drinks. Come on a day that a live band is playing!
Amazing food and atmosphere! Went with a group of girlfriends and none of us were disappointed.
A fun place with good drinks and a great food menu too. Lots of comfort food options and helpful efficient service.
This is a wonderful venue for meeting friends, having fun, delicious food and listening to traditional Irish music.
Great food! Great staff. Fun place.
Great service good food
Love this place and all the fun family times its held over the years. Thank you for being great hosts
Totally an Irish pub in every way. Fun happy people everywhere....a must do !
Met family to see the Druids. Good sound intimate atmosphere for a band. Great food & beer selection.
Always a great place to meet up and grab a reasonably priced bite to eat. This is our go to place when hanging our with friends from out of town.
Great food and friendly staff. great entertainment
Great place for some pints and chill. Darts, Irish flair, comfy stools, cozy booths, tasty pub grub. Try the Reuben Roll!
Great Isaiah pub but don’t order black bean soup.
So good! Great food, fabulous service and atmosphere! 10/10!!!
Place is amazing, much much larger than it looks, they have a front room/ bar, middle with tables and stage for band, then the dart hall another room with 10real dart boards and another bar... good food, great staff..
We showed up there late and had the place to ourselves. The bartender there was absolutely amazing. They have pool tables, dart boards and a juke box. Gave that old timey feeling from bars I used to go to back in the day. Very much enjoyed ourselves.
Mckrells Christmas show was such a positive diversion from the somtime bleak reality of today. Entertainment was great and the wait staff attentive. Happy holidays to everyone at the Parting Glass!
Went to play darts. Awful dart boards. They are all torn up. The bartender also was not very good. Very slow with very few people at bar. The only highlight was the OReilly sandwich. Very good!
Enjoyed the meal. Caught a wonderful show there watching Triskele the Celtic Band.
Quiet Irish pub great food and outside patio w/smoking.
Great food, service, and live music...a great combination! The wait staff are the great, not sure how they keep orders straight with some of the crowds, but they do...and with a smile!
5 stars because they took part in a charity event for Bikers Against Bullying. Large establishment can accommodate a lot of people. Food was a buffet for this event and was very good.
Great sandwiches and cold beer. Staff members are very pleasant and accommodating.
Wonderful pours, and any place that invites me to lose at darts is good in my book.
Been going on & off over last 30 years, basically just for the entertainment & friends. Not the cleanest place, but recently better than in past. Have drank & eaten many times, never fallen ill, but the kitchen is usually a filthy mess, SO DONT LOOK IN if your are ordering, LOL.
The French onion soup was fabulous, our waiter, James, was great and a wonderful time was had.
Had lunch today. Great bartender, great food, great Irish music in an old school pub on a snowy cold day.
Great staff. Friendly with excellent service.
Staff was very nice and attentive. They were able to accommodate our large group on the weekend in a semi-private room.
Nice, lively bar and restaurant. I had a very good sandwich and there was a pretty good selection of beers.
Great food, great service, great atmosphere.
Great bar staff. Tons of dart boards. Cool vibe. Highly recommended.
Above average tavern. Food is not healthy but what Irish pub is? this place is verrryyy Irish too. Aka down to earth establishment.
Always a great time at the Parting Glass- The atmosphere is awesome, music is always great and the bartenders keep the drinks flowing! Definitely would recommend for a great night out with friends!!
Great place to sit at the bar for a meal. Seafood is excellent. Their variety of Oysters are second to non.
Excellent staff,food and atmosphere
Cute place, friendly staff and good atmosphere, great live music and good food! Plus they offer vegan options, which is awesome.
Great meal, Great to be out and about.
Forthlin road played, exceptionally good time. Amazing service, my cup was rarely allowed to go empty.
Awesome...open faced Rueban...love Billy and Rocklyn and Dana..and especially my favorite cook Tommy
Famous Irish style pub. Often great music. A zillion beers and ales.
Great food and waitress was really nice and attentive. Must go if youve never been. Classic old place.
Oldest classic Irish pub with at least a 30 year history to my knowledge. Darts, live bands on weekends often Irish Rock style.
Comfortable, neighborly crowd playing friendly poker - plus great staff and food. What more could you ask for on a wintery Wednesday night?
Great drinks, great food, great atmosphere
Great beer selection, Irish and non. Friendly service and good food.
Great pub fare. We always go for the Get Up Jack shows which are fantastic.
Fun atmosphere, literally all ages and everyone was having a good time. Bartender Matthew had stellar service.
Very good pub food & beer selection
Bar tenders were awesome and very efficient and personable on a crazy Halloween weekend.
Always a pleasure. Guinness is best in Adirondacks, staff are quite helpful.
Always go see Forthlin Road play there. Great band and awesome pub!
Friendly staff, amazing food and great bar!
Ordered a rueben with sweet potato fries for lunch, big portion and great taste!
Classic Irish pub. A treasure for the real deal. Guinness, grub, darts, live music, perfect.
Great atmosphere, great service, unfortunately their taps are clearly dirty. All beers taste off a little.
Classic Irish pub. Great drinks. Live music and dart room.
Music entertainment is great, and they have. Back room with darts. The food is okay, nothing special, but it is a good place to go hear live music on a Friday or Saturday.
Excellent pub fair served with love...
Such a fun pub. Yummy food awesome music!
Authentic Irish pub with great beer selection a d good food
Fantastic place to hang out, play darts and have a few pints
Fun with the Off Track Band on Mondays great crowd 👍
Had a great afternoon chatting with other patrons and the bartender. I learned a lot about Saratoga as an outsider.
Incredible food, drinks, and fun for the whole family. Forthlin Road a must see Celtic Rock Band!
Fun place to meet, but needs a good cleaning, remodeling, and bathrooms need much work!!
An Irish pub with Irish music..having about 7 different venues to choose from our first time in Saratoga, we chose the Parting Glass. Food was good, but the white house wine was awful! I got scotch and water instead. Service was a little spotty, but we still had a great time.
Classic Irish pub with fantastic music! Best in Capital area, and beyond.
Good food, excellent service, good drinks.
Food, service and atmosphere
The best Irish pub around. The food is always challenging- I had the worst presentation of fish and chips in my life there Saturday night, but the beer, the live music and the dart room are awesome.
Has been my favorite place for over 20 years tonight. Some new waitress tried to get us for $188 and when we asked her what was up, all of a sudden our bill was only $67! Pay attention people... this place is going downhill!
Just awesome...old world Irish with great live music, Triskele, and great atmosphere
Can not understand why this place has a 4.3 rating. Went there w/ my girlfriend. By appearance, the place is not the cleanliest and the decor is a mess. Ordered a beer and the waitress was unsure if the draft was working. They were on and I got a magic hat which was flat. I ordered a Ruben burger w/ beer battered fries. The burger looked like a mess, the meat tasted frozen and undelightful, and the bread and corned beef were burnt and very dry. The entire burger had an off taste (stale). The beer battered fries did not taste beer battered. My gf ordered a margarita (not sure why in an irish pub, but w/e). The margarita came out in a VERY dirty glass, so we sent it back. The waitress brought out another margarita in another DIRTY glass. MY gf gave up at that point and ordered water. Then she ordered a buffalo chicken wrap. It wasnt half bad, except the blue cheese was bad, so we sent it back and my gf ate nothing while I ate a stale tasting burger!! Should have walked out, but throughout all of this the waitress was attentive and very nice and didnt charge us for the margaritas or the wrap. But I cannot understand why this place is rated at 4.3 stars. Very poor experience for us, will not be back.
Good live acts lively atmosphere, occasionally smelly.
Service has declined over the past few years. used to love it. now I wont go.
Love the atmosphere, great food, very accommodating.
Add this one amazing burger and now I am having dreams of eating that burger
Everything you could ask for in an Irish pub. Huge place with great food, good drink, and friendly staff.
Good wings and a nice place to play darts. Decent beer selection
Great atmosphere and love the darts. I am sad they took the shuffle board out.
The Oreilly Sandwichan egg batter dipped sandwich, grilled and filled with hot corned beef, melted swiss, and a mustard sauce. served with a cup of soup, tossed salad or irish fries
Great atmosphere.
Love the staff great food great prices Peter Wilusz cook and his boss Linda theyre the greatest
Awesome night for code blue.18 Strings of Trouble rocked and The Mallet Brothers Rolled.
A Saratoga Classic and have seen many many awesome bands here!
Have been coming here for decades. Great food, so many beers to choose from, and the music is very good.
Oldest original Irish bar in Saratoga. Drank my first Guinness here 22 years ago and the table is still there.
Great fish and chips, also a nice beer selection.
It is a very friendly place, exactly what youd expect of an Irish pub. The food is good, plentiful
Guinness is poured properly. Great place to visit.
Great service and calm/cool atmosphere.
A downtown Saratoga staple with a great stage for live bands & great bar games in the back room!
Friendly bartenders and locals. Classic Irish pub.
Simple place, great beer menu, wide selection on food menu too.
Fun bar, but they got rid of their shuffleboard!
Great Irish pub. Awesome Rubin
Great food music and lots of beer choices
Fun place, amazing beer selection, great prices!
A Great Irish Pub with good eats..
Great date night, food and most of all awesome band!
Freshest Guinness within 300 miles!
Favorite bar in Saratoga. Great live music, too
Great food, good service. Get the Irish Coffee, its worth it!
Always a great time! Darts are a blast!
Delicious good. Very friendly and accommodating
What can I say, always a great time! Try the Reuben roll!!
Great food better drinks :)
Old reliable watering hole...by Saratoga standards its historic
A really good spot to have fun.
Good bar. Food is ok.
We were looking for breakfast at 10:30 and we stopped by here, and split a wrap and fries instead, and it was a pleasant surprise to start our day with a great bloody mary.
Great food and great atmosphere
Good atmosphere and very good Shepards pie.
Good food and professional staff. Try the soups!
Great pub. Big stage, lots of dart boards.
Great neighborhood bar serving up pub food, live music, and fun!
Kind of dumpy but can have a good time there.

2022-04-12Amazing environment. Best Irish pub. Angel was the best bartender. She took care of me the entire night and made sure that I was enjoying myself. I would come back 100%. The drinks are well priced and I cannot wait for my next trip to the Parting Glass

2021-10-04Highly recommend when youre in Saratoga Springs. Just a block off main st. A block east of Pice station. Great irish atmosphere and food. Well be back when were in town again.
Review №5
2022-03-15The only place that I still get back to whenever I return to Saratoga. The beer and settings are perfect and if you get there on a night of live music, its always excellent. They have over a dozen dart boards in back and theres nothing like spending time with your friends and family while playing Cricket and drinking a Guinness.
Review №6
2022-02-24Consistently great food! Love the bangers and mash, Irish breakfast (yes, for dinner!), and shepherds pie (although it is beef not lamb). Always friendly service! I have occasionally waited a bit for my food, so bring good company and enjoy their great beverage selections! ;)

2018-03-16This is my favorite upstate Pub. It is located within easy walking distance of the downtown Saratoga shops and restaurants. It is a large establishment with a great menu. They often have live music (usually Irish) and they have a darts hall. The folks that work and frequent there are friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Try the Baileys brownies or cheescake for a late night treat. I us3d to live a few blocks from the Parting Glass and I was there all of the time on nights and weekends. Its one of my favorite places in Saratoga Springs.

2019-07-28Great service and food was quick. Laid back atmosphere with sandwiches, burgers fish & chips and salads. Nice place to see music in- you can sit and eat while watching the band on their large stage. Theres a sperate front room for more intimate dining, and in the back bar theres a large area with darts and pool thats great for large groups/private parties.We had a party of 7 (with 3 kids) and it was perfect. We saw a live Irish band perform and had dinner (you can get reservations ahead of time for shows). What a great evening! The parting glass staff are always such great hosts! We love the traditional Irish music every Wednesday and huge selection of tap/bottled beers too!
