I’m a student at the CIA, the bartenders at reason and ruckus are amazing. It isn’t just bartending they’re putting on an experience for guests. I recommend Fallon to all my friends.

February 14th I met the the loves of my life Annie and Fallon first of all you never need to ask for a drink there on it. Second they’re the coolest and cutest ladies ever. 100/10 recommend best bartenders in the 845 by a long shot!

Going there with some friends, we started the night off with a deep dive and it was a great drink! Both refreshing and fruity, would order it again! Few all had an order of fries which were super crispy and goes great with the drink we had. Lastly ordering the spinach and artichoke dip on the menu, which is delicious and on the menu because of a pop up they are doing with another business. Their menu's are QR codes and can be found online.The servers were attentive and super friendly, would recommend to come here for a nice Friday night hang out!

This is one of the best bars in Poughkeepsie! The vibe is much nicer than the dive bars up the road and the food is great. The menu is slim pickings but everything on it is very good. Plus the prices are very reasonable! It is definitely not for everyone in here. It's an alt vibe and a bit on the strange side, but that's why I love it. Plus every time we're here, the staff are so nice and accommodating. If you're looking for a fun night out, definitely check this place out!

The drink options were great. I wasn’t too keen on the food because it was more of an Asian twist. I thought the set up was really cool, though no one was using the arcade in the back room. Some people were playing pool, but the best part was the Himalayan salt bar. It had lights underneath it and glued for perfect light setting. Artwork was displayed across the walls to show off local artists but you could also purchase these pieces if you wanted to and they change them out every few months.
Me and some friends just stayed past closing time. The bar tenders are no joke AMAZING!!! We almost didn't realize what time it was lol. Thank you for the good time!!!

Everything about Reason and Ruckus is amazing, everyone there is absolutely fantastic and the food is honestly addictive, I'm here every week without fail ?

I once owned a record store in Middletown and the ambiance was very similar to this establishment.The energy is good, the people seem cordial and they've created a very welcoming atmosphere.It's great to have this in the community and it's very tastefully done.I'm happy they have open mics and I plan to perform in one in the near future.It's great to have this place local and not have to travel to NYC..

It's getting there.... but needs a lot of work. Cool place to look at, but SO many problems: ran out of food on a Saturday night; ran out of wine glasses; no Pino Grigio (which is a pretty standard offering), and the pour is ridiculously stingy, maybe 3 ounces.... Too loud to hear yourself talk, so if they're wanting to offer a space for conversation/poetry slams/ etc, guests won't hear you. Really need to fix an architectural situation before someone breaks an ankle (a protusion at the base of the wall just past the bar, painted black (!), so you don't see it until you trip over it. R&R will be fun -- when they get their act together.
