Lake Placid

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.
