“Expensive but good food….“

“Really? It took me this long to give Stockade Tavern a review? That’s crazy, given how important a fixture it’s been for its entire 16 year tenure. From day 1, Paul and Jenny and their rotating crew of amazing bartenders and bar backs (you guys! 🙏🙏) made it cool to visit Uptown. Keep rocking it for another 16 please!!“

“Amazing creative space, people and energy.“

“I recommend EVERYTHING!! Just go! RUN, don't walk! Phenomenal!“

“Working with Bad Seed Cider for our wedding was hands-down the best decision we made. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how beautiful the spot is.

s a pretty laidback couple, we were so grateful for how attentive and accommodating the team was. They completely took the stress out of the day, making sure we had absolutely everything we needed while keeping us on track so we didn’t forget a single detail. They truly went above and beyond for us.

And of course, we have to mention the drinks… they were absolutely INCREDIBLE! If you want a gorgeous venue with an amazing team and fantastic drinks, look no further. We couldn't have asked for a better experience“

“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.“

“The desserts we had were exceptionally good. This was the best part of the meal. The scallop crudo was small, boring and expensive. The half-chicken main course was very good, and was enough to split between 2 people, but required at least one of them to be good at disassembling a chicken. The atmosphere was very loud. The place is toddler friendly, which is great if you have a toddler, and not so great if you do not. The restaurant is very popular, so reservations are a must. If you are hip and cool, you will probably enjoy it more than I did. It was not bad, but IMO it is a bit over-rated, as the only truly standout dishes we had were the desserts, and they were fantastic. Also, the bread was very very good. The drinks were OK. The price was a bit too high for what were served, in general. Mostly, it was just too loud for eating, for me. I am glad we tried it. 4 stars because- why not? I do not run down a decent restaurant with excellent service that is trying very hard just because it does not suit me.“

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

“This has become a beloved date night spot in my household and a place we credit with getting us so into sherry (and vermouth!) that we’re basically preaching to all our friends about it. If you’re worried about how expensive it is - which it is, no doubt! - at least stop in for happy hour and try the drinks. Last night was actually the first time I’ve had a full meal here and it really felt like a special occasion. I thought the bacalao was perfection and the tapas were yummy too - the custard dessert made me scream the first time I tried it (in a good way).
It’s definitely become more busy and more scene-y, but it still feels welcoming and intimate. From what I can tell everyone who works here is so passionate about the food and drinks they serve. Their service has always been so warm, fun, attentive, and knowledgeable. Shout out to you guys for helping us make any random night feel special! I’ve never been to Spain, but I’m lucky to live in Kingston and have spots like this to return to. Bonus points for having a dj last night who played great music and not too loud to have dinner with!“

“Just went for the first time for my boyfriends brother's birthday. I got zaatar salmon and it was very good. Service was good, the apps were good. No complaints.“

“Delicious. My favorite is the curry lentil soup and bahn mi sandwich. Everything I’ve had here is delicious. It is expensive tho and the kitchen isn’t the fastest. But for a nice lunch and hang, this place is great. Excellent coffee as well.“

“Love the atmosphere at this bar. The staff is super friendly and fills your drinks quickly. The food is the star to the show. The wings are brined and made in house. The Parmesan and garlic fires are the perfect accompaniment to the drinks. Definitely a must visit when in town.“

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

“OMG Eva at the bar, punk rock on the juke box, I love it“

“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.“

“lovely atmosphere and Kate the bartender is wonderful!!“

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

“Great food service. I have never found a place that makes a better margarita. Most places make what I call “girly” margaritas. A true margarita is like a martini or manhattan. With the liquor the # 1 ingredient. Santa Fe makes a true margarita. The food is also very fresh and made to offer. Never found a place that makes better tacos.“

“Had a bad time at another restaurant. Came here and was very pleased.“

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

“Was in town on the Saturday the 19th and stopped in for a beer. Nice selection...but then had some food, and it was awesome!! And was ready in minutes! And to top it off, the woman handling the bar was amazing. Will stop in again when in town again in 2 months......5 stars...Thanks again...RICH“

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

“we had sooooo much fun at the arcade!!! definitely recommend, we love PatelsKingston Lanes for the holiday season!!“

“What a great little find in Kingston. My wife and I had a delightful dinner on the patio. Thursday was half-price margarita night and I had the opportunity to enjoy a perfectly prepared frozen margarita. The guacamole was among the best I’ve had and the quesabirria was meaty and cheesy and just delicious. Great vibe. Great food. Great people.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“this bar is amazing. my wife and i sell art there from time to time!“

“Prying yourself off of the main strip in New Paltz, The Parish restaurant shows that the back streets have something to offer as well.
To the left side of Main Street as you're heading out of town, right before you get to the old bridge, you'll see a little area that's called The Water Street Market. Making your way past all the various shops along the way, you will find The Parish upstairs overlooking the area. There is also a small parking lot for The Water Street Market in the very back. If you take the side roads and you're lucky, you may be able to find a parking spot there.
We started our lunch with The Hush Puppies and Gator Bites. The Hush Puppies were golden brown, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The Honey butter was a nice compliment, adding that smooth creaminess and making them a warm delicious treat. The Gator Bites had a crisp outside batter with a little flavor kick from some Cajun spices. The remoulade dipping sauce was a nice pairing for the bites with that texture and flavor that only Gator has.
For our main dishes we had the Jambalaya and the Parish Burger with the side salad. The Jambalaya had a little spicy warmth to bring to the mix with the chicken and Andouille Sausage doing their part for flavor. The Parish Burger with the poblano peppers, onions, and cheese was superb. The aioli really helped to bring forward and meld all the flavors together including the juices of the perfectly cooked hamburger. Each bite added to the enjoyment. The salad having been tossed in a vinaigrette rested on the same plate making a pleasant addition.
For dessert we had the Blueberry Cheesecake. It was moderate in density with just the right amount of blueberry on it. The whipped cream with the fresh blueberries and drizzle of caramel was a nice touch of added freshness.
To surmise, The Parish with its Cajun vibe is a cozy little nook away from the hustle and bustle of the main strip.
I would also like to add The Parish has a full bar, and the servers were very pleasant doing their jobs to a T.“

“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) .“

“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“
