She let us keep our car there and ensured we got into the correct car for our uber to leave the bar that night, made sure I parked in view of the cameras.

I first moved up to Hyde Park about nine months ago, and when I first got here, having just moved…read moreup from Virginia, I didn't quite feel at home and was still getting settled in. It wasn't until I started going to Georgie's with my girlfriend and our friends that I really started to like Hyde Park. Georgie's is definitely in my top five favorite bars I've been to, possibly top three. Keep in mind, I've been drunk across the United States and a good portion of Asia (Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, and I got drunk in Laos once but sitting on a bench drinking by yourself doesn't quite count as a bar), so this is no small compliment. There's nothing special about the bar - it's got two pool tables, some lotto machines, a pretty basic selection of booze and beers, and pizza and snacks. What brings me to Georgie's is the people - the bartenders are all really nice (usually!), and the owner, George Ose, is there every night. Georgie O's is my hometown bar, now, so I love it. I'd definitely recommend coming for karaoke night, which goes down every other Friday, I think. Usually on those nights there's a good crowd of kids from the Culinary Institute of America, and you'll most likely see me there, having a blast. There are other bars in town, but I was never a fan of the vibe at Crossroads (and that it's cash only, last time I was there), Mahoney's is usually too college-y (that's fine every now and then, but I had plenty of that in college), and Darby's is more of the same, I hear. If you want a nice, chilled out bar with none of the bullshit, Georgie O's is the place.

A large man came to the door and stated "didn't realize the door was unlocked". This was an immediate turn off, not a "hello, welcome, we're not open yet", just a RUDE statement, as he turned around and disappeared through a door. SHOCKED, we sat at the bar, wondering if we should stay or go. A bit later, a barmaid came behind the bar. She was friendly, seeming to know the other two people we followed in, and asked for their order. She then brought their drinks, and then acknowledged us, and took our drink order. The menu is limited, and I ordered a cheeseburger. She said the fryer was just turned on, so all we could get was wings, fries, and tenders....THIS WAS A VERY ODD AND AWKWARD EXPERIENCE, and will definitely NEVER return....They have NO IDEA what customer service is, and have a lot to learn about social skills!

Juliet's is an awesome pool hall with really good food. The pizza is cooked in a brick oven and tastes amazing. They've also got a good arrangement of beers. I only wish they carried Guinness in a can, instead of the bottles they serve. Pricing is pretty good here, especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays (I think I have that right) where you can play all day for one low price. It's been awhile since I've gone into Juliet's but if Vassar gets their way with this one and turns it into a Bookstore, I know exactly what to do with those leftover pool cues (cover your backside, Vassar snobs). Save Juliet's! It's been a staple in Poughkeepsie entertainment for longer than most can remember. read more

I'd rate Bacchus three and a half stars…read more Solid pub. About a dozen beers on draft with a mix of macros, crafts, and locals. Lots of bottled and canned options too. They were very accommodating as we came on a Friday night and were able to seat a large group. I tried the cheese curds, coconut shrimp, sweet potato tots, sweet chili Brussels sprouts, and a cheeseburger. Consistency was good across the board. They have gendered restrooms. The men's room had a private stall. Service did a good job of accommodating our large group.

We have not visited for a few years and came back last Saturday, bringing friends as we raved about it to them and a few were looking specifically for that famous beer list. Well, things have changed for the worst. The place was not even that full around 6 PM. It was 8 of us and maybe 1-2 tables with no more than 4 people at them. It took good 15 minutes just to get our beers and soft drinks. The burgers and steaks were all overdone, none were at the correct temp. One person's dish was brought after everyone else basically finished their meal. Our salad was not brought at all and when I asked them to take it off the bill at the end, they asked if I want to pack it to go. Never again.

We arrived as soon as they opened and were some of the first there. The bar tender greeted us and we took our seats. He came over immediately and went through the entire menu with us. I ordered wine from their very large selection and my husband ordered a stout. They were out of his order so the bar tender brought over three similar options and explained them all. My husband picked one of the recommendations and it was a great beer. My wine was delicious. We ordered the Brie , burger, and my husband ordered their lomo. Everything was great truly. We just took our time and really enjoyed the space which was very cozy and relaxing. The best thing is going to a restaurant where wine and beer are their main focus and talking with staff that is enthusiastic about their products. Our waiter was great and we're sad we didn't get his name but he made the experience ten times better with his knowledge of wines and beers. We plan on returning very soon!!

We went to see one funny Lisa Marie she was great. The drinks were good as well. The service was good when we sat down downstairs but when we got to the comedy club, it's gets a little hectic because I feel like there's too many people and I feel like you would need to hire maybe two or three waitresses as there was an issue at my table they put in an order for their food and before the show was ending, the food finally came out and it was burnt, but they did make it up with them by basically not charging them for the food.
