Don't try to order up a Surly at the Herkimer; this joint actually makes their own beers. And though some brews are better than others, most are pretty decent. You can try their best award-winning items easily during the 10 after 10 happy hour. For $10 after 10 p.m., barhoppers can enjoy five mini-burgers, sweet-potato fries, and choose between a pint of the Alt Bier (a pale ale) or the Sky Pilot Kellebier (a malty Pilsner). Other deals at the Lyn-Lake hotspot include a $5.95 daily happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m., with a choice between fish and chips and a pint, or a chili dog and a beer. During those hours, and again from 10 p.m. to midnight, tons of appetizers go for $3.95 each, from mini corn dogs to personal fondue to the bar classic nachos. Whether you choose to sit inside or outside there's usually some good people-watching to be had. (Image by Danielle Scott)
