    Purple rain: gin, lavender, luxardo, lemon, & orange bitters
    May L.

    First time trying this place and if I'm ever in the area I'd definitely come back. The ambiance and decor are really hip and inviting. You can scan the vinyl for sale at the in store record shop, hit the arcade games and chill in the lounge/speakeasy downstairs, play board or card games at a table near the bar, and try the delicious crafted cocktails! Oh, there's alsoa food menu! We had to sit ourselves and order at the bar but the honey buffalo salad and burger were (surprisingly) some of the best bar meals I've had. I'll go anywhere to look at Bruce Springsteen's face and get buzzed off a martini called Purple Rain. Count me in girrrrl

    Chill place and perfect for pub food with some beer. Dark lounge-y vibe with music loud but not super loud. The Korean nachos were not as yum as the reviews said - so a bit disappointed. But the Brussels sprouts and pickle chips were amazing :) The one point missing was that we were at a booth - with no beer menu served and the server was not knowledgable about the draft beer offerings. So it was tough to pick. But the service was friendly - the Jenga at the table a great perk. Will go again.

    The Vinyl Room is a bar, restaurant, record shop and arcade that opened in Wappingers Falls, New York in 2017. It was founded by John Kihlmire. On a trip to Colorado, Kihlmire visited a shop that featured an abundance of books and records. He came up with an idea to open a similar shop that would also feature craft beer. Kihlmire initially opened The Vinyl Room by himself in Wappingers Falls. In addition to beer, records, and video games, customers could also enjoy pizza by ordering it through a special window that connected to the Wagon Wheel next door. Although the concept was well-received, the small space and constraints from the landlord limited the full potential of the business. In July 2021, it moved to a new space at 344 Main Street in Beacon. Customers could order food from Roma Nova across the street. Unfortunately, the space was still too small and the owners received numerous noise complaints from apartment tenants upstairs. In August 2023, The Vinyl Room moved down the street to 393 Main Street to their third (and hopefully forever) location. For the latest version of the business, childhood friend Kane Licari came on board as a partner. This also marks the first time that The Vinyl Room features a kitchen with their own food. The menu features burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads, rice bowls, tacos, wings, and various bar bites. In addition to craft beer, the bar also serves wine, craft cocktails, and mocktails. I recently visited The Vinyl Room for lunch with my two sons while we were visiting Beacon. Any place that features craft beer, records, and classic arcade cabinets sounds like Heaven to someone like me. I really liked the whole vibe of the interior with the industrial design and all of the pop culture and music references. My sons and I grabbed a booth and looked over the menu. For food, I had the "Crunchy Chicken Bowl" (sushi rice, pickled onions, avocado, arugula, charred corn, chili garlic crunch, creamy garlic sauce), my older son had the "Grilled Cheese" (Vermont white cheddar, havarti, slow roasted onions, roasted garlic butter, sourdough), and my younger son had the "Return of The Mac" (smoked gouda Vermont cheddar cream, buttery breadcrumbs). We were all very happy with our choices! To drink, I had a draught pour of Upward Brewing's "Summer Camp" (Helles Lager). After finishing our delicious meal, I scrolled through the impressive record collection. Then we all headed downstairs to have a blast in the arcade. Before leaving, I enjoyed a pour of Equilibrium Brewery's "Tidal Balance" (Double IPA; collab w/ Sand City Brewing). We all had such a fun experience at The Vinyl Room and we hope to return in the future!

    My friends and I were recently in Beacon for the day and ended our experience at The Vinyl Room. I loved the decor and the music, and it definitely has a fun vibe overall. It's pretty loud, but that's just because I'm old. The cocktails were tasty and well executed. We weren't very hungry but shared the mac and cheese and the Brussels sprouts. Both dishes were delicious and the portions were extremely generous. They did get very busy since it was a Saturday night, and there are only two single-occupancy bathrooms, so there was always a wait, but it wasn't a big deal. Overall, I would definitely stop in again the next time I'm in the area.

    A gem on Main Street! We were looking for a place to grab dinner before heading to the city that didn't have too many children around. There was a short wait on a busy Saturday night but it wasn't too bad. The cocktails were great, I had the one with topo Chico and my friend unfortunately ordered one with an ingredient she was allergic to. They promptly took it off the bill and were really nice about it. The nachos were tasty as were the fries. Music was great, ambiance was lively. I'll be back!

    Intriguing vinyl Knowledgeable service Just love the spot Beacon has a lot going for it, and TVR is a strong pawn in that overall game. A really suave vinyl selection up front, comfort and diversity of seating throughout, good beverage selection, food options for a variety of eaters, and just a really outstanding spot to pass some time independent of any previous variable. Bonus points for opening a bit early for the lunch crowd, and for mixing a decent number of kindred topics under one roof. It just works exceptionally well. Could be copied by others, but the fact that it absolutely excels here is all that really matters. Highest recommendation. Can't wait to be back next time, and again after that.

    Pretty cool place, definitely a party vibe with the DJ. Service was just ok, we could have had better communication. the nachos were kinda cold, but we had a fun night.

    Dumpling

    Stumbled on Vinyl Room looking for a spot post-hike to reward our bodies with delicious food and drinks. Vinyl captured us as it advertised both & a record store. The interior is one huge open space with a small section with a few records you can purchase. Brick walls, stool seating and red, neon velvet room signs inside. I'm unsure if the host/waitress was busy, but she did appear a little cold when we asked for seats. We almost left because it felt unwelcoming but our tired bodies forced us to sit. At the end of the dinner, she warmed up but I was looking for her a few times to order an additional app/ pepper condiments. Chalking it up to she was wearing too many hats because I couldn't even find her when I went to the bathroom. Now for the food- don't get the flatbread unless you love love love cheese. I barely tasted the meat toppings and I could tell the balsamic vinaigrette on it was a nice idea to balance out the salty cheese but it was overpowered. Do get the wings and burger. My friends raved about their meals. I tried to give the food another chance by ordering the dumplings but once again - meh. The flavor was off and needed a different sauce. Cocktails were just ok again.

    Took a day trip to Beacon and stumbled upon this cute bar that is also a record shop. It's a pretty big bar that has two floors. The vinyl shop and bar are on the first floor and downstairs they have arcade games and board games. Limited cocktail menu with drinks around $15 each. I don't remember if they have a food menu or not. If I'm in the area I'd definitely stop here again!

    Korean tacos
    Jes O.

    First time at this location, went Sunday afternoon and it wasn't crowded. The bissel bro beer was tasty if you like IPA'S. Korean nachos were delicious with a perfect kick! I could have honestly ate it myself and not shared it lol. Pretzel bites were nice and soft paired with a nice yellow cheese warm dipping sauce. My mother in law tried the Mr. Fancy pants drink and loved it. The place looked aesthetically nice with plenty of cool wall art.

    Manhattan
    Alex C.

    Let me just start by saying the service here was fantastic. Me and my friends just came last Friday night for evening cocktails. Nothing on the drink menu really called to me so I just ordered a Manhattan. To be honest it was the worst Manhattan I'd ever tasted. Not sure how you could mess it up when it's just three ingredients. Long story short, sent it back and asked for them to try remaking it. The drink in the picture is the replacement Manhattan they brought me. Tasted just as watery and bad...looked like a light beer. Found our kind waitress again and she asked how it was, I said honestly I can't drink it and she asked if she could get me something else. I said anything whiskey based would be good. The drink she brought me was far better, but overly sweet. Won't be coming back here...sad for a place that has such potential and great service. I had also heard good things from friends...maybe it was just an off night for the bartender.

    Came in here starving after a lovely day waking around Beacon and the surrounding areas. The menu looks good! They have such a great beer list! Spacious bar! Cool vibes! We were immediately sold, and next thing you know I was sitting down, preparing myself and my taste buds for an assault of deliciousness. The highlight of our meal was the cold, perfectly poured pint of KCBC lager I received about 10 minutes after sitting down. Another 15 minutes passed, our server came by and asked us if we wanted to order anything else. We politely declined and reiterated that we were hungry and excited to get the stuff we had ordered 25 mins ago. Another 15 minutes after that, we thought 'hey, isn't it strange it's been 40 minutes and we've gotten no food yet - not even the salad? Let's ask the server.' 10 minutes later our server informed us the kitchen had a bit of a backlog due to staffing shortages. We asked how much longer it would take - no one could give us a straight answer. An hour after we ordered, it was pretty clear that we weren't getting anything that night. Maybe the food would've been good - for all we know they are planting the greens for our salad and raising baby chicks for our sandwich as I type this - but we decided to close out our tab and leave. Did anyone offer us a snack? Comp us our drink for the hour long wait? Give us a coupon for next time? No, no, and no. Plenty of other good restaurants and bars in Beacon. If you're hungry - go to one of those instead.

There is also the perennial complaint of cost - but a dinner for three that included two drinks, three appetizers (one of which was bread which at this price point should be complementary, and anther a tomato salad), and two entrees should not be $180. The steamed dumplings were reasonably tasty, but the wrapper was too thick and I question the addition of corn. The duck breast was generally under-seasoned and bland, and the skin had not been fully rendered out. The biggest disappointment was the tuna nori - the strongest flavor was an off putting fish taste. The accompanying rice (jasmine and not short grain?) and bok choy both tasted like they had been cooked in nothing but butter. The view is nice, but I don't plan on dining here often.

The Brussels sprouts had good flavor but were undercooked. The duck breast had portions that were very raw (which is fine for me, but worth mentioning), but otherwise was good. The pasta was tasty but extremely different from what I expected; I did not pick up any hints of lemon, and the dish had more of a smoky flavor. The earl grey Panna cotta was good, and it had a nice subtlety to the flavor. I got a glass of the "village blush" wine, which was shockingly sweet, especially compared to the pepperiness of the aroma. (Perhaps this is something that is well-known to wine enthusiasts, but it caught me by surprise.)

When we asked the server if the meats in the actual meat tacos was seasoned, she said yes. I don't get why they would serve the plant based one with no seasoning. Tje "pickles veggies" advertised in the menu were not pickled; they were just plain shredded carrots and cabbage. The tacos were just extremely bland and had no flavor at all.

I reminisce arcade video games were always localized at shopping malls. Happy Valley Arcade Bar contains many games and snacks as well as alcohol and non-alcohol drinks are available. There is a coin change machine which was not working. This arcade video game business does contain a bathroom facility. It does provide a temporary mental detox or mental phlegmatic disposition from life's stressors in a casual relaxed atmosphere without judgment and without pressure of looming deadline for quota. There is also a small photo booth which can only fit two people. It was impossible to cramp six adults in this miniscule booth. There is an outdoor patio for seating. I hoped to see Grand Theft Auto, but to no avail. Arcade cabinet games are: Pac-Man 1980 I played for $0.25 and lost at the first round. Donkey Kong 1981 No comment. I did not play. The Simpsons 1991 No comment. I did not play. This depicts violence as Maggie is kidnapped because a large stolen diamond, inadvertently, landed in her mouth during a melee and she begins sucking on it like a pacifier. The rest of the Simpsons family gives a violent chase in pursuit for retrieving Maggie. Mortal Kombat II 1993 No comment. I did not play. Street Fighter II 1993 No comment. I did not play. KungFu Kickball I was on the red team and won against a good longtime male friend. The final score 3-2. I feel like Danielle de Barbarac who slaughtered her longtime childhood male friend, Gustave in mud fights. "Boy or girl, I can still whip you!" Danielle de Barbarac in "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" 1998 film. Because the capable woman is never far away as I am right here! Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2002 Wow! This dancing video game reminds me of the movie "The Kissing Booth" which appears exactly as is. Pinball Oh, my inner child surfaces! No comment. I did not play. Pinball games are very classic and simple as the objective are all the same with a carbon steel or chrome steel ball with flippers. It is a game of chance. I would play pinball at outdoor fairs or festivals while eating funnel cake with strawberries. I remember playing Initial D Arcade Stage: Cycraft Edition 2003 where the seat drastically shifted, leaned, and jerked violently sideways to perfectly match the mountain-pass touge drifting mechanics of the motion-simulator racing game. I remember I jackknifed a vehicle! I lost this five minute racing game with my then boyfriend. Disappointedly, this video game cabinet is not available at Happy Valley Arcade Bar.
