    The pump house!
    Brandi S.

    This was a cool spot! We dropped by on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. The drink selection was solid (good beers, some frozen drinks, cocktails) and good food. I enjoyed my burger and fries. Fun hangout in the area!

    Place was great, the husband/wife duo that was playing ruined it, but man was the places vibe perfect otherwise. Then again the deep fried smell wasn't my favorite either. Smelled like I was at a baseball stadium but looked like I was in the coolest Catskills experience ever. Felt almost amazing so I'm giving it the four starts. I'd love to go back and hang, but I'd rather buy the place and make my house out of it-

    Good service and the staff here is really nice. The food was okay not too many vegetarian options I wish there was more food options. Beer was tasty and delicious, and a great outdoor experience

    One of the coolest places I've been to in a while. Proof that u can do anything with the resources you have. It was a cloudy day, this place is all outdoors so weather is definitely a factor. Thankfully the 2hr we spent there, the rain held off. We were greeted by a nice young woman who explained the place, the menu, the whole 9. Very nice! THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD! We shared the crispy cauliflower which is in some curried sauce(yum) Lumpia, crispy& not greasy, and 2 orders of wings, spicy Korean & honey garlic soy, which were my favorite. I only had a glass of Rosé but my hubby & friend had the pilsner & enjoyed. Great outdoor space, clean bathroom, great service. I'm sorry I showed up late in the season. They will be closed for winter. A definite must!!

    Been wanting to stop in here for a while; it's fully outdoors, so we waited for a few months until a warm day in late spring. They have a great beer selection and live music on certain nights. I wouldn't eat a full dinner here, but they do have some food options (pretzels etc). I only tried the key lime pie, which was bad, but that's kind of on me for ordering key lime pie at an outdoor bar, ha. We also happened to go at sunset, and the vibes were immaculate.

    If you want a speakeasy outdoor vibe, this place is for you! Casual, elevated food truck cuisine, full bar, and live music on the weekends. There's no permanent sign outside; just trust your GPS to get you there!

    I love that the place is outdoors. We live in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn so just being outside surrounded by trees and the calming noise of the creek make us happy. When you add to this historic ruins a good selection of beers and wines, snack food, and live music, it is just one happy experience! It is a really unique, magical, and picturesque place.

    This place is a real gem. The location, the remains of an pump house it beautiful. The drinks are great. Say yay to Frose. And the food is good. The menu changes often. The day we went had chicken wings-- a bit messy but delicious!

    From the inside out!

    Food trucks with wine and beer and tables under string lights in the walls of an old abandoned building, with a wonderful band playing (the Frost Duo).

    Laid back eats and brews! You order at the bar, sit anywhere. There are tables that can sit a…read moreconsiderable amount of people, high tops, bar seating, etc. There is a beautiful vault adjacent to the bar, this used to be a bank, nice place to take some photos if you're into that kind of thing =D The bartender was amazing, she reminded me of the cool-girl bartenders you see on tv that the MMC has a huge crush on lol. She was very friendly and quick with getting everyone their drinks and taking our orders. I came in with a decent amount of people and she was calm And collected. As for the food... I have to give a HUGE shout out to the Brussels sprouts... omg... if you only get one thing, let that be what you order. They were roasted in a balsamic-y glaze and then drizzled with some kind of aioli. I could eaten 3 plates of them lol. This wasn't even my order but I think I ate more than the people who ordered them, once you have one youre addicted. I heard a lot about their pretzel with beer cheese, this was also a solid app. The cheese makes the dish but the pretzel is perfectly doughy and not overly salted. I ordered a cheeseburger with carmelized onions, it was a solid burger- no complaints but nothing that really stands out either (not like those Brussels anyway =P) . We ordered my son shredded pork tacos at his request, they were ok but I felt the pork needed to be seasoned more. I can't speak to the brews, I didn't have any, but my sister and her husband who frequent breweries seemed to enjoy what they had ordered. Would definitely come back here again!

    Beer is really good (Amber Waves all the way)…read more The food was decent (BBQ pizza was tasty). The staff were exceptionally nice and friendly. The only drawback? 12:30 on a Tuesday, and it was LOUD!!! The concrete floors do a fine job of reflecting all the noise!

    Once you walk into this rustic old home now converted into a cozy restaurant you immediately notice…read morethe character. The large wooden bar shows its age in the best way, giving off that classic, old-school feel. There are about 20 tables and roughly 10 or 15 bar stools in the main seating area. They do take reservations, and it's smart to make one if you want to guarantee a spot. We were greeted right away and served complimentary water and fresh sourdough bread with sea salt and olive oil. The sourdough was incredible honestly some of the best I've had. My wife ordered the chicken parm, which came in a large portion with fresh, house-made pasta. The sauce was excellent, truly one of the best I've ever tasted. The chicken cutlet was perfectly pounded, breaded, and crispy on the outside. I went with one of their standard pizzas a white pie with fresh garlic, honey, and other toppings that all worked beautifully together. Their sourdough pizza dough has been in the family for years from what we were told. The oven appears to be a brick oven (not sure if it's firewood or propane), but it has to be running at 1,000 degrees or more given the incredible crust. They also have a full bar with plenty of beer options. Parking is on a dirt lot across the street, with a small side lot as well. Service was excellent across the board. This is the type of spot that absolutely belongs on the TV show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I can't say enough about how much we loved the food.

    My love affair with this place is over. We planned a birthday dinner with our family who drove over…read more5 hours to see us, and arrived at 6p to a chaotic greeting and reservation confusion. The start and basics were delicious as always, but then our dish came out with pasta that was so underdone, it couldn't be saved; if they put it back on the heat, the seafood would surely be overcooked. Then the server made us feel like we were in the wrong after having to send it back twice and finally agreeing to take the dish off the bill. No offer to bring us a different pasta dish or pizza. No offer of dessert for the table. We were so disappointed, and it started a birthday weekend off on the wrong foot.
