26 Best Bars near Rhinebeck

“Great place for a drink or three!“

“Yes…historically charming“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 have been all over Kingston and this is by far the best cocktail bar in the area. Their espresso martini which is stirred not shaken with a salty creamy foam on top is by far the best espresso martini i have ever had: all of their cocktails have been shockingly delightful

their small collection of bar snacks is also a revelation: perhaps the best chicken liver mousse i have had. we have been here for two days and as i sit here writing this i am enjoying my 5 th serving of their haiwan chex mix.

The staff is so sweet, Lia may just be the best bartender in the hudson valley. so sweet and skilled and professional:

i can't say enough good things about this place. vibes, drinks, food and service. amazing“

“Amazing creative space, people and energy.“

“Get the drunken nonna, you won’t be sorry,

Bar pies go hard . I tend to be a “NY pizza snob” , this is like a personal scillian / almost slight Detroit style and it’s just delicious.

Bar is small but packs big vibes and is a great double date night spot .“

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

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

“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.“

“This place was really cute, great food, and great for date night or dinner with friends. I love all the variety of vegetables on their menu and how each is prepared differently. We got the cabbage which was good, I loved the char on it but other than that, it was fine. The oysters were amazing and their squid salad was divine. The entree we got was the chicken which they are known for and it was very good, chicken was juicy and the sauce on the side was great. We also got a side of creamed kale and that was extraordinary, 10/10. Dessert was a Thai tea blondie and I was so excited for it but it was underwhelming.“

“Their turkey hoagie is one of the best sandwiches I have eaten in maybe my entire life … add pesto and you will be in heaven. Takes a little while to actually get your food so sit back and relax and stay a while. Theres a pool table and arcade games in the back, very chill, kid friendly - no table service (order at the counter!)“

“Excellent Spanish tapas! I’ve eaten in Spain and Portugal and Mirador’s tapas are authentic. And the craft cocktails, wow, I think the best I ever experienced in the Catskills! Can’t wait to return. Thank you Mirador for a wonderful dining experience!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!! 🍻🍀“

“Small menu but very good. My best compliment to this restaurant is their margaritas. They are the most genuine margaritas you will find, not some 20 ounce full of fillers and sour mix crap. The margaritas alone are why I still trek up to Armadillos. Their use of radishes in the food is also refreshing and delicious“

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

“After hiking to Kaaterskill Falls, my lovely wife and I had lunch here as part of our Anniversary Weekend Trip. We were welcome immediately, and given a table at the window facing the river. The service is great. We started with Fried Calamari, and it was so good that we finished it in a few minutes. The batter is light, yet crispy and flavor of the squid pops out. My wife ordered the Prime Rib and Lobster Tail, and I ordered English Prime Rib. Both were so tender and juicy. The sauces, mash potatoes, and asparagus compliments everything so well! We later had the Chocolate Temptation, which was perfect with black coffee. We highly recommend this place whenever visiting Kingston.“

“Service was excellent as was the food!“

“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“

“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) .“
