5 Best Cocktail Bars near Callicoon

“Went with girlfriend. We both got what we thought were entrees. Serving sizes for individual items were extremely light. It was not clear to me at the time that portions were small, think tapas. If you dine here, order more than you think you will need and it will be just right. They reached out to me personally. Good people that care about their business. We will be back. Food was extremely well made, same with the drinks. Reservations needed, but if you get lucky they will seat you a little past 8:30 which was nice. Offered me a credit for my own confusion, but did not accept. Overall a very nice dining experience, just order more food. Pricey, but worth it.“

“Friendly and great food. Cozy atmosphere! We caught some awesome live jazz music too!“

“Fun atmosphere. They had a band and nice couches. We had dessert and the lemon merengue pie was spectacular! They used a perfected recipe or a local bakery. Either way so good!“

“Made an early afternoon pit stop on our road trip back home from Livingston Manor after hearing some locals sound the siren at the Cidery near Callicoon. Your appetite will be reduced to rubble at this tapas-style 'backcountry bar' (as per Men's Journal), but there's not enough water in the Delaware to put out the blaze of innovation lit by these backwoods libations, fresh herbs and fruit abound.

I would call it a secondary-road speakeasy, with creative and well-executed cocktails that pair nicely with all the food options from the equally-balanced menu. Being an old firehouse, you'll want to cozy up with the love of a lifetime in the equally rustic couches that surround the indoor fireplace. The bartender is perched behind bottles of tinctures that scream alchemy, and they have plenty of freezer and takeout options for another night.

To stoke our own embers, we went with the white bean bruschetta, pickled veggies, hasselback potato, Cuban corn, and the Butcher's bacon. Top-notch ingredients, well-seasoned and thoughtfully prepared, we'd order each item again, if there weren't so many great choices to go back for. Awesome spot!“

“All of the above! Exceptional service and food in the dining room. Thank you, Sarah!“
