20 Best Bars near West Point

“Situated in an old ammunition depot, the recently renovated first class, or "firstie", club has a much more exclusive and bespoke feeling than the days of yore. Gone are the sticky floors, the dripping roof from the back room, the broken foosball tables, the jukebox that seemed to host only various versions of the song, "Wagon Wheel", or the bartenders that would serve you a pitcher of Jack and a pitcher of Coke on a Thursday just because you asked for it. taco Tuesday and wing Wednesday are pretty popular, as is Thursday evening following spirit dinner when the place is packed with the sons and daughters of slum and gravy. Extensive selection of beer on tap, and the menu is generally very good. Their version of a clucking Russian is as good and attempt at re-creating perfection as I have seen. Worth a visit.“

“Great burger, great appetizers and a slew of fantastic drinks. There seem to be more staff and folks tending the bar that I seem to remember over the last couple of years but there's nothing wrong with that. For the locals the wherehouse is definitely a comfortable place to go, a great place to hang out on the weekends especially in the summer. Tons of parking around the area and lots of other little things to go and see as well on Liberty street. But with the live music and the good food you can spend a couple hours here without a problem.“

“I have visited this restaurant twice. That is a positive sign by itself. Sotanos is located on Main Street in Fishkill, NY. The area is easy to get to as it it right off of I 84 and Route 9, a major thoroughfare. There is ample parking in the back of this white, quaint, vintage house turned into an eatery. That's a good thing because at peak hours, there is no Street parking to be found. You will be greated immediately upon arrival and seated in one of the dining areas to the left OR at the small bar to your right. We ordered fried calamari and shrimp ? wrapped in bacon ? as appetizers. A universal truth is that bacon makes everything taste better! Both were tasty and devoured so fast that I forgot to take pretty, unmolested pictures of them. You will notice immediately that the portions here are adequate, so you do not feel robbed, but unless you had gastro surgery, there will not be a lot of take out boxes clogging up your refrigerator You get JUST enough with lots of sauce to trick the ? eyes into thinking ? the plates ? are loaded. The main courses ordered were a fillet mignon with scallops and a "crispy" duck that was not crispy at all. Reportedly, the duck was delicious, but the crispy description was on the menu. The steak was a good grade, tender, and prepared to my liking. The scallops were some of the best ? that I ever had. As you can see in the picture, you don't get many of them. Gelato as a desert is my recommendation. The service was excellent. I like the non rushed eating experience on well spaced tables on beautiful, 100 year old broad plank floors. The bathroom was clean. I can see a pretty good wait for this room if the place is crowded. If memory serves me, it is a single use bathroom. It's a VERY nice place to go for a delicious meal, perhaps for a special occasion. I would and will absolutely visit again unless I can find a comparable restaurant with slightly larger portions for the price. Sotanos is a wonderful experience although not a great value. Your mileage may vary. Enjoy!Parking: May spots in the rearKid-friendliness: Kristen was informative and attentive.“

“On our way down Main Street, we were drawn into Reserva from the live music playing inside. We changed our plans and decided to grab a bite here. The menu is pretty limited, as it is a wine bar. But the food was very good. The croissants melted in your mouth! The quiche was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh. I was disappointed that they do not offer pão de queijo on Sundays.“

“A great late night spot if you wanna have a few drinks or watch a game and have some food. It’s cash only which I don’t love but they do have an ATM inside so that makes it easier. The staff is very friendly and I’ve had a great time every time I’ve been there. Definitely a great local spot.“

“Best Restaurant Ever! Top 5 of all time! We had lunch there today- everything was delicious! Smoked Brisket, sausage, pulled pork, awesome Mac & Cheese, Baked Beans. Great food & service. Friendly, helpful Staff. So much food and fun. We all took to go boxes Even in pouring rain the view and atmosphere was terrific. We will be back!“

“Step into Greg's cozy, narrow bar, where the warmth of friendship envelopes you like a familiar embrace. With John and Hannah at your service, it's more than just a place to drink – it's a haven where locals become family. Each visit feels like coming home, welcomed with open arms and leaving with memories cherished like treasures. Cheers to Greg, John, and Hannah for creating a sanctuary where every patron is not just a guest, but a beloved member of the family.“

“I ordered the porchetta sandwich. It looked better than it tasted. The ciabatta was not a true ciabatta and did not go with the sandwich. The porchetta was just crisped up pork belly and was skimpy on the portion considering the price of the sandwich. The waitress said I can substitute the fries for any of the sides but didn't state there would be an upcharge. There was tiny fine print under the sandwiches that says they'll be an upcharge but it's very easy to overlook. I opted for the warm cabbage side which was very tasty and would order again.My friend ordered the beet salad and that looked amazing. I'd suggest trying that and if I go again I'll order that instead.Lastly, the water glass had lipstick on it. I wasn't wearing any. When I asked for a fresh and clean water glass, there was no acknowledgement about the lipstick, even after I pointed it out. That was unprofessional, in my opinion as a former waitress and bartender.Overall, will I go back? Eventually, yes but it's towards the bottom of the list of things to do.“

“Only took off 1 star because there's nothing on tap. Pizza is homemade from scratch in a proper pizza oven and DELICIOUS! Service is friendly and feels like home in the best of ways. Karaoke Thursday nights 7-10 PM, kind host and supportive, enthusiastic crowd!Parking: No spots in the small lot? Park next to the fence all along the block!“

“The owner would have made John Taffer very happy, from entering looking for a table until we were ready to leave the service was impeccable, the ribs, wings, curly fries and the specialty beers on tap were amazing, did I also mention it was happy hour amazing place.“

“Really cool distillery in Beacon NY. Worth checking out and trying a drink at the bar. We spoke to a distiller on site and he explained a lot of the process, very down to earth. Overall cool spot to check out. We took home a bunch of nibs for friends and family to try.“

“Great spot for a beer in the back of this barber shop. Staff was friendly and the menus are easy to read and browse from (all on paper). A lot of seating which was good for my group of 7 people. I'll be back when I'm in Cold Spring again!“

“We had heard from a few folks the wings here were quite good. They are!!! 12 large wings for $12 cooked and seasoned exceptionally well. I had the Psycho sauce variety with good heat lots of flavour. For my money it's here and Brothers for the very best wings in eastern Orange County.“

“Have only preferred takeout from this place Attempted once to eat inside but quickly changed my mind and ordered takeout instead (it's so close to home I'd rather eat at home. Food traveled well and tasted fresh and leaves you satisfied and amazed that food this good can be so close to home. Can't speak of service in restaurant but with take out that do well .“

“You don't want to miss this place! The views alone make it worth a stop but the food puts the experience over the top. I'm not usually a mid-day cocktail drinker, but the bar menu is too good to pass up. Don't sleep on the dumplings. You won't be disappointed.“

“Although I only recently started going to this pub, Kyle and his team do an excellent job. Food is good. Service is good. Watch out for Kyle's shuffle board skills. You may leave a few less bucks! Definitely going to be a regular joint for me.“

“Their double double burger is so good and their truffle fries are a hit! You will not miss with that :) we order also a pretzel as an entree and it was pretty good, specially the cheese sauce. I love the open patio, but I wish they had the patio umbrellas, so you get a little shadow from the sun. The servers are nice but the service is a little slow. So be patient, when the food arrives is going to be worth it.“

“If you want the feel of your neighborhood bar while away visiting West Point, stop at South Gate Tavern. Food was ok, stay away from the friend ravioli. They definitely have cold beer but even better, the conversations w the bartenders. Both made it feel like I was a regular for years. Just remember to bring cash, they don't accept CC but they do have an ATM on site.“

“Great dive bar that I stopped at spontaneously after walking around Peekskill. Ordered the French Onion soup and a cheeseburger with fries. Food was great (although I prefer swiss cheese on my F.O.S. and not provolone) and the bartender was very nice, too. It was fun chatting with her. The place was empty (for lunch anyway) but I didn't mind as I don't like crowds. It was me and another guy at the bar. He was annoying but she handled him well. I'm guessing this is more of a nighttime hangout, but I definitely liked the vibe here.“

“We happened to stop in on Easter Sunday without a reservation. Luckily enough we were able to sit at the bar, which was amazing. Luke, the bartender steered us in the right direction for food and their amble beer selection. Will not only be back but will tell anyone heading in that area to go.“
