Wings and beer - should they be a new food group - discuss in 2500 words. This place was packed and we were early, but we got a table and our server was very efficient. I wanted a local beer - not the mass-produced normal offerings. There was a bewildering choice, but went for two from the Berkshire Brewing Company... More

We stopped in on a Friday evening even though we knew the place would be packed. But it was well worth the wait for those delicious wings - best I've ever had. I was glad we had to wait when I looked up at the beer list on the caulk board and saw one of my old favorites - "old... More

My husband and I each ordered lunch specials. My steak sandwich was served on bread soaked with thousand island dressing, so I skipped the bread. My husbands dish was a bit better, and my son said his burger was good. We had stopped for lunch so we chose not to have drinks, but it looked like their beer on tap... More

Wings great but loud atmosphere made this more a bar than a restaurant to me. Service was lacking. Tried to get water for 10 minutes.

The first impression of this restaurant is that it is dumpy. It does NOT inspire confidence in a good meal. Plus when we got there, we were told it would be a five minute wait, when we could see empty tables in the restaurant. So we started with a poor impression. So we waited patiently. The beer selection was impressive.... More

Yes, their beer selection is enormous but I came here to eat and after waiting 15 or so minutes and after the recommendations in the waiting line. We ordered their famous original wings and they were okay. Sorta like spicy soy sauce - really salty. The atmosphere was loud, university/college all around us which is expected. The salad bar has...

The Old Forge Restaurant has a wide selection of beers and ales to choose from. It has an extensive menu with entrees ranging from wings to seafood. It was very busy, but the wait time was only 25 minutes. The only complaint was that I had a Visa gift card, which they refused to accept.

This place is crazy on beer. They have 18 beers on tap and over 300 bottled beers from around the world to choose from. Sick! If you sample all the beers you are awarded a commemorative stein to hang over the bar. Above average pub food... their wings are the best in Berkshire County. A little cramped and it can... More

We were looking for a new restaurant given the closure of Powder Hounds. We weren't sure what to expect or whether we'd actually get a table (they don't accept bookings) but what a great evening we had at the Old Forge. The choice of beers was mind blowing (if I'd drunk 3 beers a night every night I think it... More

Weve never had a bad meal ... its our go to spot! The wings are the best around, salad bar is always fresh, and the beer selection is unmatched!
