Zeus Brewing is a sleek, upscale spot just minutes from the Hudson River and Poughkeepsie train station. The brewpub is a standout in the area with high ceilings, polished finishes, and a clean, modern atmosphere. We didn’t realize until after the fact that there’s a rooftop—so definitely don’t miss that on your visit. The vibe leans more fine dining than pub, making it ideal for a date night or elevated after work drinks.
The food was solid but came with premium pricing. The portions held up though. The Gyro and Crispy Boi sandwich both hit the spot, and the mountain of fries that came with them was unexpectedly generous. On the beer front, the standout was Spicy Boi, a mango habanero blonde ale. It leaned a little thick, but was super smooth with a subtle kick of heat and healthy amount of mango flavor. Zeus is definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a brewery experience that feels a touch more refined.

Went her for some Father’s Day brews for my husband and we enjoyed the beers and the food!

The rooftop was nice on a beautiful summer evening, however, the drinks were expensive ($16) and not good, and the food was mediocre. Not worth a return visit.
Michael Lennon
Good food in a contemporary atmosphere. Not very busy when we were there, but could be noisy when full due to hard surfaces everywhere. Beer was as expected in a modern brew pub - good variety, high quality. Informal and reasonably priced.

My food review is solely based on the one drink I got, which was delicious. Lots of IPAs which isn’t exactly my preference.

Travel for work every week and this place is spot on .Short walk from the Hilton Downtown Poughkeepsie. Food is very reasonable and a good variety. Had the Lamb gyro) .Beer made in house and not all IPA ! .Sours , largers , dark ale ,IPA and pilsners .Burbon selection is vast and not at secondary market prices .Second visit and one of the owner is on premise for the second time which shows he cares .Last but not least a roof top bar over looking the Hudson is not a bad thing .Overall a place I'm comfortable recomending.

I ordered a gyro with chicken instead of lamb & was charged $5. Hello, chicken costs much less than lamb, are you kidding me??!! I love lamb but can't eat it due to dietary issues. Shame on you. The rest of the food was very good. We won't be back & will be sure to spread the word. Return business will increase profits than not having our group not return.

We had a fantastic experience at Zeus Brewing while visiting from out of town. Maria, our server, was absolutely AWESOME —she picked the perfect beer flight for me, and everything she suggested was spot on. The Reuben burger was absolutely delicious, and I can't stop thinking about the peach and basil beer—it was such a unique and refreshing flavor. The hostess also gave us great recommendations for things to do while we’re in town. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

I called for a party of 6 about 10 mins prior to showing up to see how busy it was and if it was even possible to be seated in such a short notice. The host over the phone stated they have a table ready and to just come . So my family and I showed up hoping to be seated right away. I saw the table wasn’t ready. It took 30-45 mins for the waiter to clean the table which never even happened. The host stood there the whole time stating that we would be seated shortly. No one came. Others who came in (party of 3, party of 4) all sat down before us. Long story short, we will NEVER be coming back here. Worst service ever . No one offered to even be seated at the bar. The entrance was small, we couldn’t even sit down while “waiting”. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Don’t come here . The atmosphere is for the young college kids. My mom even tried to buss her own table 🤣🤬 for her RETIREMENT celebration. So we went down the street to the Italian place which was wayyy better!
This was 10/26/24 Saturday around 6:30-7pm. Regardless of time or day the service here sucked

this was my 2nd time here. I tried the pizza and the mozzarella garlic knots as well as 1 of the drinks, and I was very happy with all 3. The wait staff was attentive without being too overbearing we were a party of 6 and with tip we had food 2 sodas and 4 alcohol drinks it came to about $35.pp
Parking: there's parking on the street in front of the bar /restaurant it is a paid meter kiosk. There is a municipal parking nearby as well but it is a few blocks away
First time enjoying the view, beer and food at Zeus brewing. About a mile from the mid-hudson regional hospital, we decided to check it out. Street parking is available and I believe after 6:00 p.m. it is free. Plenty of room for a private party, or sitting at the bar but the elevator to the fourth floor rooftop is spectacular! There is a full bar and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view and just being outside. We had the vegetable pizza and the spinach dip, both were delicious. There was even a private party up there while we were there and the service was still fantastic and the food came out hot and quickly! We had their IPA and pilsner and they were both very tasty. Great place to unwind, especially after visiting a friend at the hospital!

We ordered the Caesar salad which was literally just iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, and light Caesar dressing. The pizza was doughy, oily, we didn’t finish it and we NEVER leave pizza. The steak sandwich was an appetizer size at best, which I’m grateful for bc it had absolutely zero flavor and were both sitting here the next day with significant gastrointestinal issues. I honestly think the food is better at chucky cheese. Sorry for the bad review, but it was the worst meal I’ve had in a long long time.
The drinks were fine compared to the food. my beer was barely cold which was unfortunate.
