I love this place!…read more We came here for a comedy show on Saturday and decided to try some of their food. I went with the Shrimp cocktail and the shrimp used were just perfect! I am always scared when ordering shrimp cocktail due to the fact some establishments use crap grade shrimp, well not this place, they were spectacular. I believe many of the chefs I read graduated from the Culinary Institute of America which is located extremely close to this restaurant, and this could be part of the reason why their food game is on point. My girlfriend got the beef stew, and they gave ample portions of meat with delicious gravy and the mashed potatoes were nothing to sneeze at either. I got a couple Jack and Diet's and the upcharge for a double is not that bad, at the time of writing this I believe it is a four-dollar upcharge. Also got a merlot and it was fresh and delightful. If I lived closer to this place, I would be here all the time. There are several colleges near here, so I assume the vibe is great as well if you are looking to come and have a good time. The train station literally shares there parking lot so if you plan on partaking in a good time with drinks and spirits it would be a good idea to just train it over. As always people SYOY, and if you live even remotely close to Mahoney's, visit often for me! Cheers!!

Woodstock, NY is a tourist town with plenty of shops and a very walkable Main Street. There are still remnants of the Hippie lifestyle left over from the Woodstock concert of 1969 (which occurred fifty miles away) due to a lack of available space in Woodstock. A great way to spend a day!

Summary: This is a really nice, casual bar with great ambiance and an absolutely awesome owner…read more I went to the Backstreet Pub recently after me and my wife were looking for a place to grab a drink on Friday night that wasn't going to be jam-packed with people and loud music. Nothing against those things, but we just wanted a spot to relax after the week. The Backstreet Pub absolutely delivered on exactly that. Although the pub does sometimes host larger events for nearby Marist college students, it's generally just a nice working-class bar where you can easily enjoy a quiet conversation. The owner, Rick, is also incredibly friendly and an absolute pleasure to talk to! We got to talking about some of his plans for the future of the bar that I'm genuinely very excited to come back and see. While I can't sugarcoat the fact that the surrounding neighborhood is definitely one of the developing parts of town, I can confidently say as a longtime resident of Poughkeepsie that the development is going along at a good pace. Even more impressively, the owner is very proactively involved in making sure his neighborhood and community continue to make progress. I'm not sure I can stress enough just how wonderful the staff and service is. If you're looking for a spot to grab a nice drink and have a good conversation, this is easily one of the best places in town. We will absolutely be back, and you should go too!

Where to begin! I was visiting West Point for the first time to attend a basketball game at the…read moreacademy. The area around the academy is small and sparse as far as dining options. We found Benny Havens on Yelp and thought it looked worth a try. This place is what it is, a local institution that does what it does; if you want something else, go someplace else. It is of course unabashedly an Army bar. Sure it's a dive, but in the coziest, best sense of the word. The owner and staff were welcoming and the food was simple and honest. All they have is hamburgers/cheeseburgers and wings, and fries or onion rings! That's it! We had cheeseburgers and fries/onion rings and everything was fresh and tasty. The bar is a great big wooden thing and I bet it has stories to tell. The beer was cold and the whiskey tasty. It's cash only, so bring your greenbacks. I don't often have reason to stop at places like Benny Havens, but every time I do, I wonder why I don't visit more often.

We came for the burgers - and must admit was wary of going to a little pub for food- but they did not disappoint! The burgers were big and juicy and tasted like they had been grilled on a backyard bbq. (So good I forgot to snap a photo!) The fries were light and crispy (similar to McDonalds). We tried the chicken wings as well. They are fried and not as juicy as I typically like, but had a good flavor. It's a limited menu but there's a little something for everyone (chicken tenders, burgers, onion rings, mozzarella sticks). The waitress and bartender were both very kind and friendly to myself and my son, who were visiting West Point Academy for the weekend. We also met a couple of WP Alums who were meeting up and very nice and welcoming to us both. Def recommend if you're in town for a local experience - swing by for a burger and a beer!
