“We are extremely happy to partner with this amazing local charity. We have worked with them in the past, so we’re excited to be doing so again. Please visit their website at the link above for more about this worthy charity,” Adirondack Pub & Brewery posted on Facebook.
Local businesses are going above and beyond what is required of them to ensure guests, employees, and the community are kept safe as COVID-19 variants continue to spread.

Please be aware, that although there are no current guidelines that will restrict this event; Adirondack Pub & Brewery, and its employees, will adhere to all CDC, NY State, Warren County, DOH, and local Village of Lake George COVID-19 guidelines,” the Pub posted on Facebook.
