14 Best Cocktail Bars near Kingston

“This is our go to bar every time we visit from Florida. Amazing craft cocktails without the pretentiousness of other craft cocktail bars. Friendly owner/host Paul as well as his staff. Warm chill vibe and eclectic music selection. Also a nice selection of light snacks/finger food. Definitely a must visit when you’re in Kingston.“

“Great craft cocktail bar with decent selection of wines and beers. Interesting and flavorful tapas, great atmosphere and very cozy. Really worth a visit.“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“Usually offers good bread. But is very wishy washy on their "old bread sales" prices. If it's a day old it should be discounted - period. (I have worked for almost four years in a bakery) This is being aggregated by the fact that I was not notified of this pricing structure when I asked for day old bread (with the specific intend to get a discount for something that is not fresh and won't last me as long). Had I been informed about this, I would have just bought the same bread *fresh* - for the *same price*. I feel that the omission of this fact is even done purposely to mislead customers.“

“It's a perfect hideaway from the world nestled at the top of the hill in Woodstock. An intimate setting with an entire upstairs that boasts retro arcade games. Though that's not only reason for going.

The cocktail program boasts several spins on classics that are thoughtfully put together & a selection of classics that every bartender should know & execute flawlessly. Mark, the owner has taken pride in his work & it shows with the layout of the bar to the curated selection of premium spirits from smaller producers.

We tried for years & couldn't find a single venue in Woodstock, let alone most of Ulster County that knew how to make a Vieux Carre, a Sazerac, an Improved Whiskey Cocktail, or even a Naked Famous & few if any can or do.

The bar has been here about a year & deserves so much more love & attention from the community. If you haven't been, you're missing out.“

“rob K is a stellar purveyor of spirits. with his wit and charm he can't go ŵrong! thanks Rob!“

“Larger beer list and a great place to play! This is where woodstock lives.“

“Everything here was *so* good! The caviar frites were the perfect way to start the meal, I’d order this again in a second. The potatoes were crispy in the best possible way, loved the garlic served with it. We also got the crispy mushrooms and the trout, both were excellent. Looking forward to trying more on a future visit. Really great atmosphere and service too“

“We had dinner the other evening. The atmosphere was great. Our waitress Ella was lovely. The food was great tasting and the plating was wonderful. The yuzu tart was a very good ending to our dinner.“

“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!! 🍻🍀“

“Food delicious. Great service. My only 2 negative comments are they should give one free soda refill. Also should offer combination platters. As in a taco, enchilada & tostada (one of each) on the plate with rice & beans“

“The food is excellent! and the service is fast. A little pricey tho.“
