30 Best Bars near Red Hook

“I live in New York, so we were traveling on our way to the Catskills, and happening to see this on Google Maps. I’m always sus about Mexican spots in small towns, but this place was really good. Everything was spot on, flavors etc. The staff was very friendly as well“

“Service was excellent as was the food!“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“Exceptional coffee and deserts, great atmosphere, and a college town vibe. Unfortunately you have to climb a few steps to get in so it's not accessible for people with mobility disabilities. Very responsive as well, happy to hear that you will soon make it available for people in mobility disability.“

“I am very particular about pizza and I’ve had a hard time finding good pie in the Hudson Valley. We tried Pizzeria Posto today and I’m happy to say it’s here. Awesome margarita pie with tons of basil and excellent wine!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I just had Mirabella’s cater my husband‘s 70th birthday. Let me tell you the food was so good and very good quality. Brandon did an awesome job price was very reasonable and everybody loved it. We had lots of leftovers so if you were going to have a party, I highly would recommend this place called Mirabella’s and asked for Brandon. He’s a great guy. He will take care of you. I am giving him 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

Everything, including the attentive staff (even though we were the only table outside), was amazing. Food was so delishly flavorful and yummy. Can't wait to return!“

“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!! 🍻🍀“

“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.“

“Wonderful lunch on the outdoor patio at Foster’s coach house. Hosts were welcoming and provided great service accommodating our large party - friendly and helpful - setting a stage for a relaxed and fun late afternoon birthday meal. Everyone in our group of 18 enjoyed Fosters - cold drinks, good service, and excellent food - from the Thanksgiving sandwich, French dip, to the cranberry walnut salad! The team at Fosters also sourced a delicious carrot cake 🎂!“

“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.“

“My husband and I took a little day trip from Albany today with no real destination in mind, besides checking out Samuels Sweet Shop. As we drove through town, your restaurant caught our eye! After asking the sweet clerk at Sam’s how your food was, we decided to have lunch on her suggestion. And we are so glad we did! The interior of the restaurant is very nice and it was so warm and cozy as we entered. Your staff were wonderful. We each had a drink… I had a Bellini and he chose a beer. Our server was nice enough to look up the brewery his beer was from for us too (nice added touch that he didn’t have to do) We started our meal with calamari. The breading was so delicious and not heavy and the pineapple dipping sauce was a tasty surprise. I ordered the hot chicken sandwich and he opted for steak. My chicken was the perfect blend of hot and sweet and so good. My husband’s steak was perfectly and we both enjoyed the horseradish sauce it was served with. Both served with your homemade shoestring fries. Both, so good! We had a lovely time sitting and conversing. Your waitstaff checking in just enough to make sure we were taken care of and not pushy to get us out. Overall we loved it! We can’t wait to come back in warm weather and try your outdoor seating. I wish I had gotten our servers name, as he deserves the kudos for being so pleasant!“

“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) .“
