The Log Jam Restaurant (Lake George)
Like its name suggests, the Log Jam Restaurant in Lake George looks similar to a large log cabin inside and outside. There are three massive stone fireplaces in the restaurant, so you'll definitely feel the warmth from the open bar area.

The Inn at Erlowest (Lake George)

In particular, the Library Bar & Fireplace Patio is the place to go to find a cozy bar. This small bar area features a signature cocktail list, lighter fare, and a beautiful fireplace.
Garnet Hill Lodge (North River)
Although it's a bit farther north than others on this list - about 45 minutes from Glens Falls - we couldn't help but include Garnet Hill Lodge's Loghouse Restaurant. There's a small and cozy bar area just steps away from one of the building's fireplaces. Once you've had a specialty cocktail at the bar, you can also check out the dining area and Lodge Room, which are just as pleasant as the bar area. Make sure to put this place on your list for when you're out and about enjoying winter activities in the Adirondacks!
