Fine Dining Restaurants near Beacon, NY

“Man, I can't wait to see Stanley Jordan play HENDRIX there this weekend!!!“

“This place has been around since 1801—starting out as a stagecoach stop, later transforming into a Prohibition-era speakeasy, then part brothel, and now a fine dining restaurant. Yet most people whiz past it in their cars, unaware that this unassuming old tavern serves some of the best cocktails and cuisine in the Hudson Valley.

If you arrive early, you might be lucky enough to run into the owner—warm, welcoming, and hospitable—who just might let you in through the backdoor as he opens the place.

Wander through the creaking, narrow corridors and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped through a portal: time travel, in real time.

What an experience. This is what makes the Hudson Valley an inscrutable gem—there’s always something new to discover.“
