10 Best Bars near West Shokan

“Stopped in here a couple years back while I was headed out for a bear hunt. It’s the kind of country bar you hope to find—laid-back, wood-worn, with locals who don’t mind a stranger pulling up a stool. Service was quick and the folks behind the bar treated me right. The regulars were friendly too, the sort that make you feel like you’ve been around longer than a single visit.

Only shame is the thought of this spot eventually getting swallowed up by cityits. For now, it’s still the real deal.“

“I've drank a lot of really good DIPAs, IPAs from Tree House, Fidens, Alchemist, Foam, etc. Decided to stop on way home from Belleayre gave the I Dream in Blue DIPA a try. It competes with Tree House "Super Treat" nice up front candied taste and a mellow back end not a bitter/hoppy feel at all.“

“This is an amazing local bar and the food is great and they have nice friendly bartenders. I had the Spring Rolls last night and they were excellent. They have good music playing as well“

“Amazing food, atmosphere, super friendly and kind staff and an wonderful owner. I've been there as a performer and a fan and had great experiences on both sides of the stage. The lodge is beautiful and perfectly set up with all you'll need if you stay over. Can't recommend it all enough. Best bathroom in upstate NY.“

“Amazing staffing.., Donuts off the hook!“

“Amazing food. Staff is friendly and both indoor and outdoor seating.“

“My boyfriend and I celebrated our Anniversary and this Steakhouse was the perfect place! We decided to go all out and get a variety of apps and share some dinners. The food was delicious and the service was incredible! Lynn was our server and she was fantastic! The oysters were the freshest ones we ever had! The steak was cooked perfect. We didn't expect much coming in but we both definitely enjoyed our experience and will be back!“

“My girlfriend and I dined at Butterfield during our stay in the Hudson Valley from October 17th to 19th, and it was truly one of the highlights of our weekend. A huge part of that experience was thanks to Peter, whose service was nothing short of exceptional — professional, attentive, and genuinely warm.

Peter went above and beyond to make our evening memorable, offering great conversation and fantastic local recommendations for vineyards to visit and even a whiskey distillery, Tuthilltown, which ended up being one of the standouts of our trip.

The food was excellent as well. My girlfriend ordered the roasted chicken, and she said it was the best she’s had in quite some time — and she’s a publicist in NYC who frequents fine dining establishments, so that’s high praise.

Peter’s combination of hospitality, local insight, and sincerity elevated our dinner from simply enjoyable to truly unforgettable. Butterfield and Hasbrouck House are lucky to have him. We’ll definitely return on our next Hudson Valley visit.
