The garbage burger was NOT garbage. It was gas.

Hey. Had a great night out for a 21st birthday on Monday night at Kepner's in Hudson. Great dive bar vibe. It was about 98 degrees outside that day. And about 90 in the bar. The only big issue was the kitchen closes at 9pm during the week. Every other place in Hudson closes at 9 as well so why not keep the kitchen open until at least 10pm so employees at other places can come grab some food? Just wondering. Your open later than all other places.

Just wondering why you keep getting rid of your good staff? Look at the tips they bring in and the money you make when they work. Not good when you come back because of them and you got rid of them. Not good business.

Not my favorite.... It's one of the few places open late in Hudson. That's pretty much the only redeeming quality this bar has. I avoid Kepners whenever possible.
EDIT: I'm adding a comment since Kepner's Tavern commented on this review.... let me be more specific: THIS BAR IS TRASHY. I happened to visit the night before Thanksgiving -- which has a tradition of hosting all Hudson High School graduates for a multi-class reunion of sorts. I understand that this yearly tradition brings out a rowdy crowd. I get it. Normally, Kepner's doesn't host as many underage bar guests who are falling down drunk, guys peeing in the sinks in the men's restroom, etc..... however, that's not the reason for my disliking of Kepner's. I have 2 reasons that I have disliked Kepner's over the years:
1. The clientele are the scum of Hudson.... yanno... like the trashy alcoholic types of individuals who get drunk at the bar every night. The clientele are gross, and it's a turn-off.
2. The bartenders are also trashy. The two young female bartenders in the main bar were doing shots and smoking weed vapes all night. Sure, their energy "matches" their clientele. And that's exactly why I don't like this place.
If I want to stay out late, I much prefer Brubaker's on Darrow Rd in Hudson. It's much more chill and classy. The bartenders are friendly yet professional. My friends enjoy their bourbon selection. And, Brubaker's doesn't seem to attract as many degenerate bar guests.
You shouldn’t expect to pay $100+ at a local dive bar for three burgers and a few drinks. But at $17 per burger, that’s what it is. Keps is a local staple in Hudson, but I won’t go there again to watch a game. Half the TVs don’t work, and the ones that do are on different platforms so one of them is 10-20sec ahead of the others, making watching a game impossible. Not sure what the issue with the bathroom is, but the men’s room smells like raw sewage. The food is decent, but not worth the money. Definitely a good place to have a beer or two, but pricey.

Service is extremely impressive. There's only two women working on Wednesday nights during karaoke and between the two of them they dominate the entire place with great attitude and amazing service. Highly recommended and the karaoke was fun too

Best vibe in that town. It was old with incredible character with a great outdoor area. Just felt bad that it must’ve been even better before all the new stuff built up, ruined the views and brought in a more yuppy crowd.
