    First time here and wow! I wish I lived closer to this restaurant. Comfy atmosphere, right next to a pretty scenic waterfall too. Friendly service, great food and fast. Super clean bathroom. Easy parking Excellent all around. Highly recommend.

    This venue is lovely. There is a gorgeous waterfall that you can view as you walk down the path. Lots of seating. The night we were there there was only one band but it seems to have space for two or three to play at the same time. The service was excellent. Really friendly and cared that you were getting what you ordered. The food? Meh. It was okay. I give it a 3. The menu isn't very extensive. I have already forgotten what I got. Beer was also a little weird tasting. Still a terrific place to see a band. And the bathrooms? Chefs kiss!! Five stars. We will definitely be back but might have dinner elsewhere.

    Jazz by the waterfall!

    Wow! This is the place to be on a Sunday night. Live music, some of the best jazz I've heard (we came here to see Don Byron). Acoustics are great, you get a good mix everywhere in the house, although it's too loud for conversation (more of a concert vibe than background dining music), which is great, because the music is where it's at. It's very dark in here during the show. Reserve a table! Food and drink: they had one vegetarian entree and it was sold out early in the night, but luckily they have some substantial vegetarian appetizers. Plenty here for meat, poultry and fish eaters as well. Good selection of wine, beer, cocktails and mocktails. The servers do their best to keep up with the pace, and they're friendly. Binary gender restrooms. Pay cash, card, or scan a QR code for food and musicians. Make sure to check out the view of the river and beyond!

    The Falcon still lives its name to this day, with wonderful shows, concerts, and food. They're definitely a success as the place will fill up just when it starts. Getting there early is strongly recommended to avoid any conflict. There is a decent amount of room while moving around. However, do take caution as the main lights are off since it's hard to see. Most of the tables are pretty much close to one another which adds up to be careful. I think making it a little bit wider would be a great benefit to avoid any issues. The menu has quite a lot to offer, especially with the burgers and sandwiches, and also libations. There's a variety to pick from within those categories which brings on the food and drink game. They have great service and are very accommodating throughout the whole experience, especially refilling any drinks when it's halfway without asking. Great food and events - The Falcon has it all!

    Love, love, love. The place is packed. Great drinks, great company, and the secret waterfall is breathtakingly beautiful.

    Wow this place is amazing! It's two floors of awesome music memorabilia with huge dining areas and a bar on each floor. It's an awesome place for live music. No indoor dining right now due to covid but outside dining is perfectly spaced, complete with waterfall and a stage for musicians to do their thing. The servers definitely get a workout running up and down the many levels set with private tables. The tables each had a small candle that a friendly host came to light for us. Our server was so nice and took the time to show us around inside. She apparently loves this place too, so gladly telling us all about it. I fell in love with it. This place should be packed. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat, the food is good although I heard the menu has changed due to the pandemic. If you are lucky enough to be there at sunset you will see the bats flying to their nightly destination! Show this place some love and pay it a visit. It's a nice place to relax and get a bite to eat while listening to live music, a rarity these days!

    Great spot for live music and killer drinks. We didn't try the food as we came for after drinks but we will be making a return trip. If for no other reason than the view from the patio! I didn't know a lot about the venue before we visited and learning about the donation-based ticketing for visiting performers is very cool. I cannot recommend enough - go check this place out!

    Outdoor dining and music!
    Jeremy B.

    Best place to hear world class live music and enjoy a fine meal. Beautiful seating too, right next to the waterfall, with outdoor seating on a patio that follows the stream...there's no other place like it in the Hudson Valley. Highly recommended.

    The Falcon is a pretty cool spot for live music. I've never been there before but have driven past it at least 200 times. We were there last weekend to see Lindsey Webster. She's a great jazz vocalist from Woodstock with an amazing voice. This was my second time seeing her. She is quite popular in the smooth jazz world. We had small bites and drinks. The service is super polite and very fast. The food was good. It didn't knock my socks off but it was tasty. The atmosphere is remarkable. There's two levels/floors and two live shows going on at the same time. Parking was a bit of a hassle but to be fair, we didn't know about the extra parking lots. We also didn't know we needed to reserve a table in the venue. We hung out at the bar for an hour and they did seat us. No matter where you're sitting, you'll get a great view of the stage. If you like live music in a place that gives you a NYC vibe in The Hudson Valley, go to The Falcon.

Great concert but I had to leave for a few in middle to get a fan because I thought l was going to pass out.

One small heat pump a/c hanging on the wall in back of the theater with hundreds of people crammed in soaking wet with sweat. It's great beyond that but it's like they're practicing to be a theater.

There's a Mexican restaurant and Tavern right next door, which are nice amenities. There was also plenty of parking and the outside was well lit. The Theater itself felt brand new. It was super modern and clean. There was a small bar with various drinks. As far as food, I only saw candy and chips listed. Water was also $4 and came in an environmentally friendly bottle. Bathrooms were downstairs, which wasn't an issue for me but could be for someone with limited mobility. If you have limited mobility and plan on visiting, I would call to ensure the restrooms can be accessed. The room where the musicians perform is large and there is a small seating area upstairs, which is a different, more expensive ticket. I did see about 5 or 6 stools downstairs for those who need to sit. Unfortunately, the main act was unable to perform but the theater did send out an email several hours before the show started to let guests know their options so that was appreciated. Overall, it's a really nice venue for a show!

I was horrified but left there without calling police as I didn't want a scene. My friend was a witness. Got in the car was in pain and crying went to Woodstock police next day and filed a report (described him completely) and there was absolutely nothing done to him by the police who said the assistant DA would get involved .......... never heard anything on this.

I have no reason to lie and I had a witness and yet police did nothing and he was NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I had an injury from him but am healed but will NEVER GO THERE AGAIN TO BE PHYSICALLY MANHANDLED BY A BULLY EMPLOYEE and if this ever happens anywhere else (never in life has this occurred) I will call the police right on the spot.

While The Chance has it's charm (see my review here: http://www.yelp.com/bi...), The Loft is a bit of a mess. This is just not a good place to see/hear bands perform. I'm not sure if it's the awkward layout, or the tiny, low stage with the lighting rig blocking the performers' heads, or the bad acoustics due to the drop ceiling (missing a few tiles) or the ceramic tile-like floor, or maybe they just have a poor sound system and/or soundman, but the sound is not great and you can barely see the band unless you are right in front of the stage, which is also not fun because your head will be line with the band member's crotches....well, some people might find that fun, but not me. I've seen local as well as national, well-known bands perform here and it's always been a crummy show. Bands I've seen put on a great show elsewhere were just poor-sounding here. And oh yeah....the bathrooms are beyond skanktastic. I will continue to see bands at The Chance's main space, but I'll probably stay away from The Loft.
