50 Best Bars near Thornwood

“Focus Immunity was playing tonight. Great cover band. Great sound too. Often places have muddy sound, but this really good. Vocals awesome. Band great over all. Nod to the drummer, though everyone was outstanding .

Service was great as was the food. A good sized crowd, (my age group 40+) though not to busy. Nice look and feel, great place to take the family or what have you.“

“Barley House is a really nice clean pub. You know when you walk into a place and you smile 😊and feel like you're going to enjoy the visit? The Barely House does that. The staff was super welcoming. The space has plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. Plus a walk that folds away so your in / out. I ordered the Barley House burger with homemade potato 🥔 chips. So good!!! My husband ordered a cheese burger and loved it also. They have an area outside set up for the soccer ⚽ games with TVS and everything. There is plenty of free parking. I will be back! Worth the drive.“

“I went with a group of friends for my birthday last night. It was AMAZING. The service was great, everyone was so friendly. The place itself was so clean and cute, really cool vibe. The Apps were great, Hush Puppies and Fried Calamari, yum. I did a make-your-own Seafood Boil. OH MY GOD. The New Zealand Mussels, King Crab and Dungeness Crab was out of this world in the Cajun Butter Sauce. I HIGHLY recommend this spot and will be going back.“

“Love it going back really soon“

“Amazing place! We love the atmosphere, food and drinks!!“

“A hidden hem in Mt Kisco I highly recommend Monarca.“

“I’ve known this crew since their days at Perdition in Hell’s Kitchen, and walking into their new spot felt like no time had passed at all—in the best way possible.

From the moment you step inside, you can tell how much care and intention has gone into everything. The décor is clean and beautifully done, the drink and food menus are thoughtful and creative, and the prices are honestly more than reasonable for the quality you’re getting. It’s clear this is a place built with real passion. But what truly sets them apart is something you can’t fake—the genuine warmth. They’ve created that rare “locals welcome” atmosphere where everyone feels like a regular, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth.

Seeing Scotty behind the bar again instantly brought me back, and catching up with Sean, his wife, and the rest of the crew made the night feel more like a reunion than just a night out. I laughed, tried some fantastic new drinks, and had great conversations—not just with the staff and loyal regulars, but also with folks who had stopped in before or after a nearby concert, which added such a fun, lively energy to the place.

This spot is an absolute gem. If you’re anywhere nearby—whether you’re heading to a show or just looking for a great night out—do yourself a favor and stop in. You’ll understand immediately why people keep coming back.

And honestly? The only downside is that they’re no longer in Hell’s Kitchen… because I’d be there all the time.“

“Amazing drinks, the atmosphere is rustic, the food is different, delicious , fresh and tasty. The Owner and staff go above and beyond. If you’re in the area or a local this place is 100% recommended!!“

“As usual, we had a lovely time. Fun to watch the USA soccer team and they won! Service = great. The food was mostly good but fish & chips a little soggy evidently. And it was a REALLY hot evening outside. The temp inside Emma's, however, was a little too chilly. But a wonderful evening! Thanks!“

“Chef Elmer is highly skilled and talented. The quality of the ingredients, the methods of cooking/raw and the spectacular presentation is world class! The tasting menu is one of the best I've had. Highly recommend!“

“I don’t like beer, they always have plenty of other options. The selection changes. I enjoy the variety. They have events. I haven’t done the table top gaming night yet, but it looks fun.

It’s a good spot. easy to get to by car or train.“

“great intimate venue. wonderful array of music“

“Dined in with 4 adults and 2 8 yr old boys and it was great. Good service and delicious food. The drinks were also great-traditional margaritas & something with Hennessy. Ambiance even on a Monday was very cool. Well done Yuka’s! Your parking lot is always crowded so I knew you were good.“

“Such an adorable place and the food was so delicious! Great ambiance! Lovely hostess and waitstaff“

“This place is an amazing “Staycation”. Anna Maria runs an amazing experience. The vibe is awesome, everyone is super friendly. There’s a happiness energy that is contagious. Great wine and food selections. Santos is an extremely attentive waiter with great recommendations. It’s like Rye’s version of Cheers. The live band brings everyone together. Bravo Anna Maria.“

“This restaurant is a home run. It was our first trip in - looking forward to the next time. Cocktails were well crafted. All food items were excellent. We enjoyed lamb lollipops, tuna tacos, barbacoa croquettes and Brussel sprouts Au gratin - all very flavorful and well presented. Best we’ve seen in the month we’ve been living here. It’s a must visit.“

“Beautiful view we sat right by the water The food was very good“

“Vegan Friendly ❤️🩷 Great place.“

“This is as original as stepping into a real pub in Ireland. The bar has the atmosphere and hospitality you’d expect. The tables are set up comfortably and clean. Our waitress Meghan was an angel. Sweet and hard working. If you wait a bit it’s all good, just relax and get a drink because when the food comes it’s excellent!!!! Fish and Chips and their Wings are simply the best! The owner Declan is a fine gentleman as he walks around and says hello. Walk in with the right attitude and your experience will outshine your expectations!!!“

“Great night out fun place“

“It really just doesn't get any better“

“We had so much fun having Mobile Pie Truck for our daughter’s Sweet 16. Delicious pies and salads. They kept our guests happy all night. Great job guys! Grazie Mille!“

“Fantastic local place with the best wings around!“

“Food was really good. Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service!“

“Stopped in on St. Patrick's day for dinner. Took a little time for a table but not bad. Place was packed, live band playing. Band took a break for a Celtic dance group to put on a show. As packed as it was it still was a reasonable time for service. Potato and bacon soup and a grilled cheese burger was great. Will definitely be back again.“

“Great space to chill and be merry“

“Great service and even better memory. Highly recommended.“

“The Tapp is the quintessential local bar. The staff are very friendly, the burgers are phenomenal (as is everything else on the menu), and the prices are more than reasonable. If you find yourself in Tarrytown for shopping or seeing a show at The Music Hall, make a stop at The Tapp a part of the experience. Better still, make the trip just to visit The Tapp alone. It really is a great place to hang out with friends, catch a singer, play Tuesday Night Trivia, or have a terrific meal.“

“The Jazz Forum was a unique and special experience. Samuel Martinelli and his quartet are seasoned musicians with a delightful passion in their performance. They were outstanding . The service on the overall was on point . Courteous and inviting . The drinks and food are commendable .“

“From the food to the service to the ambiance of going to your grandmother's for Sunday dinner, everything is amazing.“

“Great service. Waiter was lovely! The Bibb salad with melon was absolutely delicious! The meatballs were tasty too! The mortadella pizza was fine. It was a bit salty for my liking. A mortadella pizza is one of my favorites and I felt like this missed the mark. The branzino was not tasty. It was dry and overcooked. Our cocktails were delicious! Each one had a unique flavor and not something every restaurant could make! Nice ambiance and child friendly.“

“Think of the last time you were in some little beach town or ski village and stumbled on a totally non-contrived bar that only the locals know about. Now imagine that bar was plucked right out of that place and put in the middle of Rye. That's The Pub. It's a hole-in-the-wall dive bar that's perfectly out of place in Rye. The bartender has a heavy hand, the drinks are cheap, and it's the ideal location to catch up with an old friend.“

“Wonderful dinner. Gracious owner. Great creative cocktails and desserts“

“Great food and great atmosphere! Nice Pl., Tucktaway in Mount Kisco, New York. Great alfresco dining as well as indoor dining. Staff is great as well!“

“I first visited this restaurant when they opened in 2016. A decade later, I happened to be visiting the area and stopped off here for lunch with my boyfriend. I can honestly say this place hasn't lost their touch.
The restaurant is dark and cozy with a fireplace in the back, making it a perfect spot for a romantic dinner or nice lunch. The servers are all well-versed in the menu items and oyster selection. The restaurant usually has some great specials that are always worth trying out.
This visit was somewhat brief so we only got mains. The special of the day was swordfish. They offer the option to choose your prep style so we each got the swordfish; I tried the lemon butter sauce and my boyfriend got the red pepper sauce. Both were perfectly prepared and delicious. We also shared a side of the grilled asparagus which was perfectly cooked.
A solid 10/10. Highly recommended for any foodies as this place also has some fantastic non-seafood options.“

“Bar attached to the Sonesta White Plains hotel. Limited option for drinks and food, but they are nominally priced when compared to other restaurants nearby. I had steak, it was perfectly cooked and sumptuous. And had egg benedict for breakfast, all tastes good.“

“Stopped in around 8pm on a Saturday night and sat at a high top table near the bar. A little loud w music and a busy atmosphere. Service was quick. Chips and salsa were good. Ordered burritos and they were very good. There was an upstairs as well but I didn't go up there. Seemed like a busy night as ppl kept coming down from upstairs. Quick service good food. Parking was a little tough. Small lot and crowded.“

“My buddy and I had an excellent time last night at Pour -- great whiskey selection, genuinely friendly owner/staff, and a lively atmosphere. Thanks to Anthony, Dave, and Jules (Diana!) for a terrific night. We'll definitely be back!“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“My wife and I enjoy going to Bia’s for dinner or a lunch. Simi the owner always comes by to say hello. The staff from either food service or the bar is always professional, pleasant and dressed appropriately for a quality restaurant. The restaurant itself shows know wear and tear, and is always in tip top shape. We as a couple or my wife with friends, try and enjoy this place as frequently as possible.“
