38 Best Bars near High Falls

“Expensive but good food….“

“Wonderful food and atmosphere. Highly recommend. Owners have been there 30 years and they love what they do and it shows.“

“Best little place in the world!“

“What a gem of a place! I sat outside with some friends - we ordered inside and a server brought the drinks out. To my surprise they have cynar and were willing to make a cynar spritz! Delicious. I also tried the pineapple margarita, too. Refreshing. It's really cute inside.
Yet, this lovely night could have been a bad memory. Buzzing on good drinks, atmosphere and conversation, I left my (beloved, expensive) sunglasses behind...gasp! The staff not only rescued them, but were willing to make sure they made their way back to me. 10/10 for Stockade Tavern. Will come again and again.“

“I have to go back another couple of three times at least until I can get to taste it all. Mid-week and it was packed. A bit too loud for conversation but I don't talk with my mouth full of fabulous fresh made gluten free pizza, thick chewy crunchy crust ( not the frozen one every other place uses) whipped ricotta cheese and fresh basil. The house well is stocked with good choices. One note is that because of the crowds frozen cocktails are pre-made so you can't pick your rum.

Dietary restrictions: Top choice for an artisan gluten free pizza ?“

“Great cider served by a great staff! Live music on the patio outside while I was there. There was a food truck at the entrance, but the is no food prepared by the establishment therefore no star rating. There were families with young children enjoying the live music. My favorite part aside from the really dry ciders is the vintage pinball room. 5 balls for a quarter! I'll definitely be back soon!“

“Great wine bar with great Sangria! Perfect place to relax after a morning of hiking or running!!!!“

“I recently stopped into Kelly’s Shamrock Tavern, and let me tell you—this place is everything a real neighborhood bar should be. As soon as I walked in, it felt like I had stepped into a warm memory. No frills, no fake smiles—just good people, cold drinks, and an atmosphere you can’t fake.

The bartenders are the kind of folks you instantly feel comfortable talking to—friendly, attentive, and they know how to pour a perfect drink. The crowd? A great mix of locals, regulars, and folks just there for a good time. Everyone’s chill, no egos, no drama.

I played a few games of pool, caught some laughs with people I’d never met before, and genuinely didn’t want to leave. There’s just something about Kelly’s—it’s got soul. You can feel the history in the walls, and it’s still alive and thriving today.

If you’re in Kingston and want a break from the trendy spots or overpriced cocktails, come to Kelly’s. It’s authentic, it’s welcoming, and honestly, we need more places like this. I’ll definitely be back—and I’m bringing friends next time.“

“😀great atmosphere, piano bar, great service and delicious food!“

“Great hamburger and tater Tots. Intimate performance space in the back.“

“SO fun! Sunday nights 9-12 karaoke upstairs, great vibes and supportive host. Drinks on demand, service with a smile (and occasionally a wink), small yet tasty snack/food menu. Great community ?

Parking: Huge free parking lot on site, never had a problem finding a spot immediately.“

“Visited Garvan’s today for the first time for a late lunch in the Pub. We started with Mexican Street Carrots. So delicious! My husband had the traditional Irish breakfast and I had the lamb stew. Both meals were excellent. Wish we could have had dessert, but we were so stuffed. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. We’re looking forward to visiting again.“

“This place is fantastic! The service is top notch and the food is even better! We had a terrific time sitting at the bar and enjoyed great company and a delicious meal. I can't wait to go back!“

“Amazing staffing.., Donuts off the hook!“

“We had the welcome drinks for our wedding hosted here. It was great working with Samuel and his staff on our special event. Everyone was very professional, kind, and accommodating to our requests. The food and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. Everyone had a blast. Highly recommend these folks, good people!“

“10/10 for this place!!!! Food is incredible, well flavored and incredible. This place is a must stop! We tried the oxtails which fell right off the bone and very tasty. Jerk chicken wrap is also REAL good and that sauce with it is something else. If you love Caribbean and jerk food, this place will make you happy!!“

“Best place in Kingston for a drink and/or dinner! We recently moved to the area and have visited Mirador a few times, each time was incredible. We now bring any friends or family who visit here! Also, love that they serve chips with their vermouth. Great little snack at the end of a long day.“

“I don't usually write reviews but I was so impressed by this restaurant that I felt obliged to let other people know what they were missing. From our cocktails to dessert everything was top notch ... fresh, delicious, and presented beautifully. The margaritas, both Frozen and straight up we're a perfect balance of lime and sweetness with a choice of different salted, sweet or spicy rim flavors. You can also get a flight of three different flavored margaritas including coconut, raspberry, and mango. All were delightful but coconut was the favorite. Our main course of fish tacos and portbella/spinach enchilada was fresh, colorful and delicious served with rice and beans. There are plenty of vegetarian options. The portions are plentiful and the prices are very reasonable. And I can't say enough about the friendly service and staff.... all super friendly and cheery....even the owner Guadalupe came to stop at our table and welcome us to her restaurant with a free dessert of creamy, light, melt in your mouth Key lime pie....save room....YUM! They even welcomed my dog, Goldilocks. What a wonderful find! I will definitely go back there again as often as I can. I had such a lovely evening and even had a conversation with the friendly people at the next table who were regulars. I left with a full belly, a smile on my face and a hug from Guadalupe.“

“Braved temps in the 20’s, snowy/icy roads last evening to enjoy Taco Tuesday! Had the blackened scallop tacos… they were were absolutely outstanding! Always generous portions, the freshest ingredients, the nicest staff, and reasonable prices! Brava and Bravo! ❤️🌮❤️🌮👏👏👏👏👏 Thank You Santa Fe Uptown!“

“Best dive bar around!! Super awesome community and great people.“

“Amazing food. Staff is friendly and both indoor and outdoor seating.“

“Nice spot! The atmosphere is super welcoming, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I don’t drink alcohol but hubby thought their craft beers are top-notch, with Hurricane Kitty and Mother's Milk being my favorites. They also have live music events that make the place even more fun. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!“

“So many community members, businesses, friends & family, came together to support the Gribbon family in their recent renovation at the new location. The new High Falls Cafe is beautiful! It has the same welcoming atmosphere as its previous location, but this is so much better! Food and service are great, and they have been very busy since opening a few weeks ago. If you want to ensure that you can get a table, make a reservation in advance!“

“Cajun food in New Paltz NY? I was skeptical, but what we had was terrific! That night the only exception was the jambalaya which seemed overcooked and dry. But everything else was great, the five of us had a wide variety of appetizers and entrees. Too full for dessert. Next time! Easy parking, inside and outside deck seating options.“

“The Anchorage is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Kingston the service, the food, everything about it makes you feel like it’s a home-cooked and the warmth of the people make you wanna keep coming back. Especially the bartender Stephanie she’s become like a home away from home. She makes the best original drinks. She’s one of the best bartenders in Kingston and and one best bartender in Kingston award. Go to the Anchorage you won’t regret it!! 🍻🍀“

“Amazing authentic and traditional Thai food/dishes that hit the spot! The Singha and Chang beers were nice and cold too!“

“My first visit to Mariner's Harbor in Kingston, NY was a delight. My Blackened Catfish Sandwich with coleslaw on the side was delicious. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice. I had a wonderful view of the bustling activity outdoors. I look forward to my next visit. The hamburgers looked delicious as well.“

“Another fantastic meal Front Street Tavern!! Fabulous food (bang-bang shrimp and smash burger my favs, but constantly evolving menu) Staff and owners top notch! So fortunate for Kingston. Do yourself a favor and check it out!!“

“Fantastic & friendly staff, delicious food with a great variety of menu items & so very accommodating to parties! I give 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. We will return again & again💐“

“Went there for lunch/dinner. Had the Birria Tacos. One word OUTSTANDING!!! I cleaned my plate Delicious Great Service Highly Recommended with Alaina & Val Cupo“

“Loved our experience. We had a pre dinner drink by the firepit outside brough to us by the bartender. Both were superb cocktails. The focaccia bread was excellent for an appetizer and the lamb kofta was delicious, Service was top notch as well.“

“We hosted an 8th birthday party here and had a great time! Everyone enjoyed bowling and the arcade area was a big hit! Party room was a little small but it was a good time had by all, and it’s nice to have a nice facility around.“

“Was ok. Nothing terrible about the food but not out of this world broth 🤷🏻‍♀️ . Nice atmosphere. Decently priced. Staff was friendly. Maybe if I tried something other than the noodle bowl ( was just too bland for me) .“

“Best restaurant and coolest Owner Wayne and bartender dave“
