    We stopped in early on a Friday afternoon after friends suggested we check it out. It was around 4 pm and there was another couple in there seated at a table near the bar and us. Upon entering there was a distinct odor of I guess old frying oil. At least that's what it smelled like to me; a bit of a turnoff. The bartender was very friendly and we got into a beer conversation. It seems they only have 6 taps but two of them were local crafts. I opted for a Catskill Brewery IPA per the barmen's suggestion that was New England style; excellent! My wife wasn't eating but ordered a cup of NE clam chowder that she thought wasn't good. I tasted it and thought they could have at least heated it up properly. I ordered a burger topped with a fried egg. It was done med. rare as ordered and tasted very good. Fries were soggy. Although limited to 6 taps they do have a decent bottle collection.

    Simply the BEST burger in HV! Out of the way off the Ellenville exit, amazing Chef who uses locals sourced ingredients with a true passion for his food! Beautiful place huge bar and the most amazing staff ever, super friendly and attentive!! That always makes the meal extra special. From the outside it may not look like your going to get blown away from the food and service but from the second you walk in you know it is going to be a super fantastic incredible meal, with incredible service! Hand ground burgers, hand cut crispy fries, cooked to perfection! RUN , and run fast.. Don't walk to this place.. Be blown away at this super gem hidden in the middle of nowhere!

    Cool pub. Stopped in for a burger and a drink. Server/ bartender (Katherine) was really friendly and attentive. Food was good. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

    Hands down the best part of Ellenville, NY! Unless you're into hang gliding... That sounds pretty fun too.

It has that classic hometown feel--comfortable, welcoming, and the kind of place where the staff treats you like a regular from the start. What really sets it apart is the menu. They offer a wide range of unique, adventurous options like camel meat, rabbit meat, venison, and bison, giving a fun twist to traditional bar food. My husband loved the kangaroo burger, the mac and cheese was incredibly good, and the bison burger was very tasty. It's a place that keeps things familiar but isn't afraid to mix it up--a rare combination these days.

The unique thing about this place is that they serve several fairly exotic meats including elk, wild boar, kangaroo and several others that one cannot find elsewhere. We stopped in for dessert after eating lunch at another local place. I had their homemade strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries (very good), and the wife had their homemade blueberry pie, also very good. The owner, Christine, was on deck and told us the story of this place which you can read about on their history page (see photo). Very interesting. This place is very unusual, and I hope we can get get back here soon to try the exotic fare even though it's 75 miles from where we live. If you're looking for something completely different - this place is it.
