50 Best Cocktail Bars near Dobbs Ferry

“Santiago was a great server, he knew the menu very well, he recommended almost everything on the menu to the point we let him chose our meals and it was all wonderful. Everything was great, the service, the food came out in a timely matter, there was water ready at the table to quench our thirst. For 4 people spent $200, that's with an appetizer 2 entrees. We had a kid who had fries and someone who had a soup special and buffalo wings (they ate before getting there). No cocktails, 4 sodas; that's gratuity included. Overall, the ambiance is great, right by the train, across from the waters, plenty of parking.“

“Great restaurants, we came for Happy hour had backed Clams and Arancini, both were delicious. We decided to stay for dinner and tried the Mushroom Risotto and Tuscan Stake Salad. Food was great size, very tasty, We will definitely be back again.“

“Just had the absolute pleasure of dining at La Casa Bronxville for the first time. Where do I start? It had been recommended to me by a couple of friends as a really unique, quality twist to the Mexican dining genre and were they ever correct. Started with the warm and friendly greeting and spacious well decored bar and dining areas. Once seated and presented with the menu - I was pleasantly suprised with the cool spin on some of the more traditional Mexican menu items (ex. Oyster soft tacos to die for - and I don't even like oysters but these were out of this world). The quality of the ingredients and food items are clearly a top priority for the management and the chef. The owner Spencer Pingle is very present and you feel it. He explained that the chips, guac and many other main items are freshly made in house daily - any wow the flavors pop!!! I can go on for quite a bit about this Westchester GEM but I will simply recommend that you go for this experience and see for yourself. Very reasonably priced for the impeccable food quality, portions and presentation. YES YES YES!!!!“

“Love! Love! Love! I come atleast once a week for the last 2 years! it’s a friendly environment and the fooood is everything. Yonkers finest margaritas for sure I highly recommend ask for pavel she’s definitely the best bartender!!!! ???“

“Great time at Golfzon! Tommy and the guy at the front that set us up and walked us through how to use the simulator were great! Drinks were awesome (thanks Tommy :)) and although I didn’t try the food I’ve heard it’s good. Will definitely be going again!“

“Just checked this place out for brunch and The service was amazing Kenisha our waitress was amazing super personality. The food was great shrimp tacos were amazing the owner is also very personable. The hospitality feels like your home with your family the rum punch was superb just like back in Jamaica very fresh overall great first time experience if your thinking of checking it out don’t think twice Go!“

“Augustine has become my favorite restaurant in the Mamaroneck area. The fresh pasta with seasonal preparations are always divine and not your classic Italian dishes (e.g. gnocci with the lamb neck meat this spring, and wild boar in the winter), the wine on point, and the service warm and authentic. The atmosphere is elevated bistro, so it works for date night or dinner with friends but the food is significantly better than any other local restaurant. The chef didn't earn a Michelin bib for nothing.“

“When you travel, you seek to find outstanding restaurants. Sometimes you win, other times, you don't. The Hudson House is a great find, a winner at every turn! From our initial greeting by the owner, Matt, to the great staff who didn't miss a beat, to the most critical part, the food, there wasn't a moment of regret. We started with a couple of tables shares. We had cheese plate with 3 cheeses, homemade fig jam to die for, fresh thinly sliced honeycrisp apples, delicious grapes, and an oil-infused crustini. Perfect start, followed by the burrata and pumpkin seed salad with carmelized pears and sweet potato chunks. I didn't think it could get better after this. I tried the sweet potato and fennel soup, very warm and hearty on a cold night, and the taste was just as I hoped! A beet and farro salad with radishes hit the mark! My partner had a fresh halibut that was cooked to perfection, served on ramen noodles and baby bok choy, with an array of fresh mushrooms, with a gentle but flavorful broth, but not enough to be called soup. To me, one of the best fish dishes I've tasted in a long time. Our guests, the wedding couple, ordered duck breast confit, and hanger steak. The duck, one of her favorites, was tender, most, cooked properly and seasoned well. It was a hit with her and her mother. The hanger steak was the choice of the groom, a very picky eater. He couldn't stop reaching about how amazing it was! Sadly, we were so full, we couldn't eat dessert. All the desserts are homemade by the owner, and they sounded unbelievable. But I'll have to return another time to speak to them. Finally, ask to sit in the jail cell. The pictures tell only some of the story. It's a wine cellar, a hidden romantic getaway, a reprise of days long gone. Or have a seat at the bar with the locals. Or just come and see the beautiful tin ceiling and walls. No matter what you do here, you won't be disappointed.“

“All I can say is this was an excellent experience, A nice interactive experience in Nyack, if you are looking for something to do besides eating at a Restaurant. Naomi is an excellent instructor and Mr. T has fantastic recommendations for drinks. The bar is fully stocked with a variety of choices. The music was pleasant and the atmosphere was soothing. Great place for a date night, or an evening with the girls.“

“I've been to Tobalá a couple of times since they opened, and their food, drinks, and service have always been great. But last night, they were absolutely stunning. I tried a few dishes (Memelas de Wagyu and Enmoladas de Pato) for the first time, and I was in shock, super delicious!! I want to congratulate their staff and owners for their constant effort to elevate the experience at Tobalá and improve every day, bringing this beautiful concept to the community. Definitely my favorite restaurant in the area.“

“Wow. Great restaurant. While it was a bit pricey, the portions were very nice and the food was incredible. Don’t skip the arancini or homemade tiramisu. Alessandro was our waiter and the service was impecable. Thank you for a great night out!“

“First, I have to say that this place is amazing!! We love it and the staff/service are great too. We have been going for a long time to buy from the bakery section but to actually sit and eat there, it’s been three times. Food is great, prices are great, and on Fridays and Saturdays they have live entertainment. They only negative is that the third time we went there it was packed and no tables were available. We were told we would receive a text so we sat outside in the car. We then noticed that a group of 3 were seated as soon as they walked in and a couple walked in and were taken to a table right away when we questioned the hostess she said nothing and smiled so I asked again why didn’t we receive a text and why were those people seated before us and she said the table took a few minutes to be ready which still didn’t make sense. We sat outside waiting for almost 15 minutes and others were seated right away. Mistakes happen and so we gave her the benefit of the doubt. We also tried to pay with a $50 Visa gift card and the cashier did not know how to do it so we had to pay with our debit. She claims it was declined but it has $50 and we called from there to prove it. Overall I still gave the restaurant as a whole a 5 because this is the first time today, 1/20/2024, that we had a semi negative experience. I definitely recommend this place.“

“The ambiance of Raconteur was just perfect. For that brief 1.5hr dinner, I was transported to a cozy, warm and inviting place. The service was excellent (I even shared our server that her aura was glowing). Since we were doing vegetarian that night, we had the spicy shrooms (flavorful, but a little too chewy for me). Then we tried 2 other entrees that I cant remember the names but the taste was unforgettable, one had had honey on it and the other arugula- the bread, folks will make you rethink Keto- reminds me of home made bread. There were fish & meat entrees as well. Go for the vibe, and be transported and renewed. So glad I found this little gem.“

“Food was good. The service was not. Our waitress did not smile much. She was playing with her cell phone when I approached to the service desk with computer and other billing stuff. She name starts with a C.I observed how she treated other customers, she was not warm nor smile either. I told myself, it was not me.“

“We LOVO Boro6! It is out Friday night spot (but make sure you grab a reservation!). The staff are super friendly and always attentive. The food is always great — and the bread — I would just eat the bread and be happy! We need more places like this around Westchester! I hope they expand soon.“

“Wonderful dinner with friends last night at Maria! We shared apps; salmon tartare, roasted squash with sage, seasoned green beans, fried artichokes- so good! I loved the homemade pasta with eggplant- fresh tomatos in the sauce were excellent! Lovely sparkler candle in our friends dessert for her birthday - the donut with fresh cream and strawberries was delightful!“

“Love the updates that UL made to this space! Light and bright w new skylights. My favorite local chef, Jody Hunter, is at the helm making her signature delicious dishes. The Whipped Ricotta with Toasted Spice Oil, Pickled Onions, housemade Focaccia make me feel I am in Italy ❤️“

“The food at this establishment was incredibly delicious, making it my second visit here. On our first visit, we didn't have a reservation, but the staff still accommodated us on a busy Saturday night. The food was exceptional. This time, we were seated in a better location, and the meatballs were outstanding! I enjoyed a Pom martini and the carbonara pasta, while my date savored the balsamic chicken, which was equally delightful. The top-tier customer service and dedication to patrons make this place worth visiting many more times!“

“No question, THE FINEST RESTAURANT in Westchester County, NY. Look you out to eat for a good meal and to be pampered with service. Micheline has the best food north of the City. Period, end of story. From the burger to the fish to the meat, the food is delicious. Always paired with the perfect wine. I'm a beaujolais guy but their selection is vast. My new favorite dish on the menu is the duck and the puree that comes with it. As an appetizer, I love their soups.“

“Why aren’t more people talking about this place??!!!??My friends and I went tonight night for dinner and drinks because we saw they had the speakeasy and we love that vibe.We decided to sit at the bar. Immediately, the bartender, Steven/Stephen, starts telling us about the place and it’s rich history. He was so kind and helpful the whole night. He made sure he connected with us for a great experience.We ordered espresso martinis, because obviously. They were INCREDIBLE. You can get it with or without Baileys which was nice. We even got decaf espresso. The level of sweetness was just right. The foam was foaming. They were truly a treat. 10/10. I also ordered a Tiramisu martini which came with a lady finger on top. This was a little stronger but still nice and creamy with great foam. 9/10.The food was absolutely DIVINE. He told us the food is made fresh because they don’t have a freezer..?!?!!? Impressive if true. We started off with the Arancini because they are my religion. Mouthwatering. The rice was perfectly cooked. The crispy outside was amazing. The flavors melded together well. 10/10. I had the Spicy Rigs. It was made with homemade pasta…!!!!!!!!!! I am not a pasta girly but when it’s homemade…consider me a pasta girly. The sauce was smooth and creamy. The tomatoes really came through. I wish the Calabrian chilis poked through a little more for more of a spice. However, the flavors were still balanced. 9/10.The vibes were immaculate! We got there about 7. A DJ started playing music around 9:30. It turned into a club vibe which was shocking. The music was blaring so it did become hard to hear each other. The music was still good though.They do have HH Monday - Friday which seems like really great deals on drinks/food.I would 100000000% come back here and recommend it to anyone. I hope to try their sister restaurant soon, Hudson Prime Steakhouse, which is the only steakhouse in Irvington apparently!!!For me to live in Westchester all my life and to not have heard of this place before is crazy! It was so good.“

“As a Venezuelan-American, this place does me so proud! I just noticed this little gem during Hispanic Heritage month since they had balloons outside, and I don't know how I missed it before! I called my family immediately and that same week we made dinner reservations.The tequenos, arepas and cachapas are SO good and very authentic. I am so happy to have a little piece of my heart on Mamaroneck Ave, my hometown - FINALLY! The owners and staff are so lovely, they made us feel like family.I will be raving about this place to my family & friends until this place gets as busy as it deserves! Will be returning soon. Thank you, Marianna!Vegetarian options: Arepas with avocado, pico, cheese, beans and more!Dietary restrictions: All arepas are gluten free!“

“My husband and I met the bartender Paul, he was excellent, professional and his customer service was above and beyond all expectations! The food was delicious and filling! The staff was cheerful and attentive! We will be back very soon!!“

“Terrific newcomer to Pleasantville, and really great to have Cajun / Creole food in the upper Westchester area. Just had one meal there so far but we ordered three different entrées two of which were terrific and the third was good, but nothing amazing. I got the seafood gumbo, which was really delicious . Very generous portions too. We also ordered an appetizer which was delicious, but I'm having trouble remembering what we got. I'm definitely planning to go back a couple more times and will update the review then with more specifics. Very nice and helpful wait staff.“

“Granita's service was very very good - attentive, and patient with a difficult diner in our party :) Pasta Fagiole soup was excellent. Octopus appetizer was ok - shaved octopus with a lot of arugula. Main dishes were decent - from veal ragu linguine to pork chops to tuna special - not outstanding but well prepared. The restaurant is nice, good environment and looks like a great bar area. It's a good local place, for families as well as adult groups.“

“I celebrated my birthday with my family here yesterday. I can't praise everyone enough for the kindness, attentiveness and attention to detail. Mary had taken my information on the phone and all was prepared when we arrived. Her greeting and treatment of us made my guests think we were special indeed despite my never having met her before. My husband is in a wheelchair and special attention was paid to where we were seated so that all were comfortable. The table, near the front window, was spacious and comfortable with wonderful lighting. The food was excellent as it always is. We had two of the special appetizers, the asparagus soup and the artichokes which were very good. For dessert, management provided a chocolate bread pudding with a candle which we proceeded to devour. Didn't have time to take a picture, because we ate it so fast. By prearrangement, the bill never came. Mary simply pressed the receipt into my hand as she handed me my take "home bag". My children were truly surprised by the seamless exchange. They had planned to treat 5 stars are inadequate for this restaurant.“

“We had a great and healthy meal there. Staff was prompt, efficient and friendly. Nice wine list, specials, and regular menu. It happened to be ladies night too (Thursday). There was a full dining room yet staff seemed unphased. Place was loud but to be expected with a full house. We were also surprised how reasonable the check was, compared to others in Westchester for the same level of service and quality ingredients. Wines were also reasonable and a good selection by the glass. All around high grades.“

“This small tucked away location seems to be a big date night spot, or let me say first date night spot. I came to meet a friend here and was pretty amazed at how many ppl seemed to be on dates. The ambiance is very cool you would never expect this inside of an old train station. Food menu is limited for more of snacks which I think is perfect for this size place. Drinks were flowing and service was attentive and had recommendations if you need it.“

“Good place for "bar pizza". Tasty dough and great wood fired flavor. Burger and fries very good also. Menu tries to be a little fancy and should stick more to what makes the place special- burgers- pizza- onion soup - etc. Good atmosphere with comfortable seating and cozy bar feel. Bartenders personable and serve good drinks (nice pours).“

“Was visiting another store in the plaza and dropped in here for lunch. Wasn't busy so we were able to pick our seats. Nice drink menu and the margarita was large. The salsa tasted really fresh and had a little hint of spice to it. Loved the beef flautas. Service was friendly and fast. We also had a shot of coquito at the end that was delicious!“

“Food was terrible. I didn’t enjoy the cheesesteak at all. So bad I almost ordered a second one as soon as I was done so no one else would have to suffer. If you can’t tell I’m kidding please order off the children’s menu. Pete’s has always had great food and still does. But don’t get the cheesesteak, those are for me.“

“Wonderful experience yesterday. We were a party of more than 20 people, some in their 80s and 90s. The waitstaff was extremely patient and kind. The service was excellent. The food was great too! I had the shrimp fried rice YUM. Everyone loved their meals. They are right by The Jacob Burns Theater. I recommend Pubstreet without question.“

“Alex, Kenny & Anfernee are the best. Always a smile, good humor and will do anything to make it the best experience.You can’t go wrong with the Clam chowder.Crab pasta - every bite it’s like tasting it the 1st time.Parking: Free ticket voucher for parking when dining.Kid-friendliness: They do an excellent job catering to kids.“

“We had some time to kill before an event and this place showed us a great time. Their DJ was fantastic! He knew we weren't regulars and still made us welcome. The food was perfect, if I am drinking I need perfect wings and they hooked it up. All in all the staff was friendly and the space was great I would definitely go back to enjoy another night.“

“Julz was the most attentive and authentic server! Food was presented well, music was diverse and upbeat, and drinks were tasty/strong. First time here but not my last! Great place to come for hanging with friends, a regular meal, or to party. A true multifaceted experience. Shoutout to Julz again for putting the cherry on top of this amazing venue ??“

“Our server was not interested in serving us to the level she should have. Normally the servers are very personable. Not this time. When you are asked if you want your martini served in a martini glass that's a problem. I asked for stuffed olives and was served plain. She corrected it later after I asked. I blame training on that. The manager was fantastic! Very attentive and personable. We have dined there many times and food is always terrific. It was nice to hear live music tonight. Please tell your servers NOT to stack plates. It's rude and disgusting. You're not a diner.“

“we had the shrimp in garlic sauce with rice and maduros. My husband had sirloin stake with onions, rice and black beans. amazing food amazing service and amazing ambiance!! it's been so long since I had great food and this is definitely one of my favorites!! The service by Angia was amazing!! thank you Angie and thank you to The Grand Cubano Staff for the great food!!“

“I ordered on Ubereats and wanted to say thank you for wrapping the sandwiches in foil to keep them warm!!! Everything was hot and fresh which has never happened for me :) they have great vegan options and the staff acknowledges what is vegan and what isn’t. One time I ordered onion rings and said I was vegan and they wrote a kind note letting me know they weren’t vegan but still sent the food which I appreciated. Atmosphere at the location is super cozy as well !!“

“The restaurant is great, staff very friendly & helpful in food & drink suggestions. Lovely deco, clean well managed. Menu selections are extremely delicious. Saturday night DJ play music which helps the vibe & have a fun evening.“

“What a fun place, we visited this bar/restaurant on Thursday night for music bingo. All ages welcome, they have a happy hour drink and food menu until 730 I think. Food and drinks were good, drinks pretty strong and consistent. If you’re looking to unwind on a Thursday night, this is the place. They do offer a full lunch and dinner menu and they also have other fun activities on different days of the week. Go have fun.“

“If there were more stars I would add them. This place still has what so many now lack. Care for their customers. Just celebrated my birthday here and to say they went the extra mile is an understatement. They decorated the food DELICIOUS and served quickly. The owner checked on us personally. This place is AMAZING. THANK YOU for making my birthday brunch go so smoothly.“

“Stopped here for dinner tonight with 3 kids under 5. The servers were super kind and attentive. The food and drinks were at our table at a reasonable time and everything was delicious. I really enjoyed their steak tacos and their red sangria. Definitely stop in if you're in the area.Kid-friendliness: Super patient staff and more than willing to help with messy kids“

“To make the experience a little fun you get a “ pass word “ sent to you the day of your reservation... a knock on the door, a door panel slides open and you say the magic word ! It starts the whole b experience! First blush as you walk in your imported to a different era with the wait staff in appropriate outfits and the walls and music surround you with that “ speakeasy “ feel! Our server, Karissa was spot on with her comfortable way she welcomed us and explained the specials. We shared some of the offerings since they listed some as half or full order and Brussel sprout sides was excellent. All in all we will go back for sure.“

“The food here is terrific, and after a long absence, we finally had an opportunity to have dinner there with friends. Since our table wasn't ready for a while, the bartender comped us with drinks while we waited, which was unexpected and gratifying - as well as a really nice thing to do!“

“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.“

“The food was good except for the worst peas and rice I've ever had in my entire life ?. The service was nice the seating is more like bar or lounge seating the music was repetitive. It's a solid spot it just needs a few more tweeks I will go again.“

“Our experience at BX Steakhouse was outstanding, thanks to Wendy's recommendation. Joselito, our server, provided attentive and professional service throughout the evening, ensuring that every aspect of our visit was enjoyable. The live music by Johnny Bliss added a nice touch to the atmosphere. Additionally, the drinks were expertly made and paired perfectly with our meal. Overall, we had a wonderful time and plan to return soon for another memorable dining experience.“

“There is this one white girl who works there that is super rude! she only started being rude to me after seeing me with the guy i was with. Originally she was our waiter and then she ask's one of her coworkers to take our table. I ordered the shrimp penne pasta & the shrimp was so sour and BAD i could smell it when the food was brought to me. They did allow me to get something else off th menu for the same or less of value but that shouldn't have been served to begin with i know they could smell that while cooking it. The drinks at Whiskey are always amazing and that was the first and only time i had a problem with the food.“

“A hidden gem! Passing by The Blind Pig, you might think it is just another bar, but you would be very wrong. It is a wonderful restaurant with very interesting and delicious food and fabulous drinks. We went with our cousins and had a perfect table where we were able to hear each other easily and had a great time!! It's very pretty inside, and artfully decorated.“
