Lake Placid
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Lake Placid, New York
Lake Placid, twice host of the Winter Olympics (1932 and 1980, the latter home to the US hockey team's "Miracle on Ice") and a longtime Adirondacks mountain-resort village, has a bar scene to match its outdoorsy, tourist-driven character - BarFinder lists 21 venues here, with sports bars and classic bars leading and a real craft presence of breweries, beer bars, and gastropubs behind them. Local spots like Big Slide Brewery & Public House and Raquette River Brewing Tasting Room reflect that craft-beer side, while Marcy Bar and Haystack Bar & Bistro round out a scene built around the village's year-round outdoor-recreation tourism.
