Decided on Saratoga, NY for my bachelor party next month to keep things relatively local during the pandemic. Anyone familiar with the area and have any good recommendations? We’re thinking of doing golf, breweries/wineries, steakhouse the first day and then heading to the race tracks on Sunday. Thanks in advance!

I would even consider Great Sacandaga Lake, a house rental, boat rental from the marina in Mayfield on the west side of the lake and only 25 minutes from Saratoga.
A couple others would be Mortons (I typically don't recommend a chain but it's in the casino so you can gamble a bit too if that is of interest).
And Salt & Char. Probably third best, imo.
Gotta hit Hattie's for fried chicken too.
15 Church, Osteria, Olde Bryan Inn, Mrs. London's, Ravenous, and Chianti's are all excellent. Tons of choices.
And go get a tattoo at Gold Tiger while you're at it.
As for golf -National is great, but that time of year is $$$$$$.
The state park course is pretty good and much more reasonably priced.
Tons of bars, just walk around town and you can't go wrong.
Have fun.
Olde Bryan Inn - ( New Window )
How was Whiteface this year?
Loved this place when a few years back. So cool inside.
Also after the shoe head down town and head on over to Djangos but as all the other individuals have said you can't go wrong anytime in saratoga. I live about 15 minutes from there.

Agree on the Horseshoe - I ran into Dave Portnoy there a few years ago.

I agree, I can't add much about Saratoga but I have been here. It's really old and really cool, they had good beer on tap and the food was good. Supposed to be haunted too... lol
The race track
Saratoga Performing Arts concert a premier venue for classical music opera ballet and rock concerts
Lake George
Moureau Lake State Park nice beach
Many public golf courses
PJ barbecue I believe now called USA barbecue
Day drinking - I like Henry street, either Henry street taproom or flatbread social, which is pizzas and good drinks next door. Some shuffle board tables too.
If you guys are beer snobs then duck into pint sized for a draft.
Salt and char isn’t my favorite but it’s probably a good pick if you’re looking for steak.
I think they have ubers up there now so that shouldn’t be a problem but make sure you check the app at where ever your Airbnb is, since it can be spotty. Cabs used to be a disaster up there.
Also worth reminding is bars close at 4, which can ruin your subsequent day pretty fast.

Same. What years were you there?
