    The Wherehouse turned out to be everything we didn't know we needed- truly the kind of accidental gem that makes the night. Halloween night at that. We'd been striking out, one call after another, as every spot in our town decided to close up early that night. So landing a last-minute res. at this tiny, offbeat bar-restaurant in Newburgh, NY felt like a win. We just wanted a few bites+drinks before heading to Briarcliff Manor for a Halloween party and ended up finding way more than that. Unbeknownst to us, The Dylan Doyle Band played that night and man...was he good. The kid uses funk, rock, blues, R&B in his mix. Plus he sang his own renditions of D'Angelo- to honor him that night, Chaka and several others. I mean...he absolutely blew us away! But imagine this: it's got the vibe of Tarantino's From Dusk Till Dawn bar feel, minus the vampires and gore. This place is welcoming, unpretentious, serves decent bar food and has an excellent vegan menu that goes wayyyy beyond the usual portobello burger. Carnivores are covered too. Drinks are ok too. But do let them know light on the ice. We got music- a live band at that, decent food and had a fantastic time. This is Wherehouse.

    Chris behind the bar remembered me from the only one time he's served me - handed me a vegetarian menu as soon as I sat down. I have never had one menu item that I didn't absolutely LOVE. I could eat here every day of my life. As a vegetarian, they have THAT many options to choose from! Bathrooms are clean, bar is cozy, lots of friendly locals.

    Went on a first date here in 2023 ago and just married him! The food and ambiance at The Wherehouse are fun, conducive of good conversation, and make you feel like you know everyone! We make a point of stopping by and reliving our first date on a regular basis. You can't go wrong with the burgers and the cuisine feels very elevated for the type of establishment. Love the staff too!

    Mac and cheese is serious business. I had the Philly mac and friend had one of the burgers.

    Barnyard blast Burger
    Erica A.

    Sooooo many options! Love that the had a huge menu with so many great options, and a whole separate menu for vegetarians and vegans with just as many options. They have some creative veggie dishes. We ordered the barnyard blast burger and a vegan BLT. Food came out fast and was tasty. Servers were friendly and helpful. It's small inside but had quite a few tables. Cozy and eclectic. Wish this was closer to us. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, is that they brought me a glass to pour my beer into, and it still had lipstick on it from someone else.

    Yall ever have that type of spot that makes you feel like you could relocate to whatever city it's in? Welp, Wherehouse was that for me this weekend. My friend and Newburgh native and I were catching dinner after a day at the lake. We usually keep it simple - burgers, beer, and wings for our post-fun eats and she was excited to take me here. "This will be our kind of vibe," she said. As soon as I walked in I knew she was right. Moody lighting, nice range of drafts (no sours though, booooo), great kitsch and artwork on the walls. Laid back and local. I ate good at the lake so kept it on the lighter side for late dinner. Here's our roundup: Korean garlic wings Portuguese calamari Brisket potato skins Mexican street corn The wings were legit - juicy, a little kick on the tongue. And the corn made a nice road snack back to NJ (mind your business). My friend enjoyed her 2 dishes and beer and I snagged a yummy bourbon cocktail with my wings and corn. Service was solid and personable. Def a spot where if you come enough you'll have a fave server. Oh and for my big friends, the seats are solid wood. And we love that!

    Bacon cheeseburger and fries
    Brian B.

    This may well be the best place to get a burger. It is a dive, but that is what makes this place so awesome. Everywhere you look, there is something way cool to see. The burger is beyond good. The bun compliments the burger well. The fries need to be a bit crispier, but then I didn't come here for the fries. And this place has a HUGE beer selection from many local breweries.

    Nadine S.

    Ambience is dive bar, service is just ok, food - other than a great burger - was meh. There are so many other places around with better food and service.

    Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Nandita K.

    Good food, large portions, friendly wait staff - couldn't have been happier! Stopped by here for lunch after spending the day at stormking - we came in ravenous and the place did not disappoint. We got the buffalo mac n cheese, poutine, pulled pork sandwich and the chilli digs and everything was delicious.

    Without a doubt top class classic bacon cheeseburger
    Alresch J.

    Great burger, great appetizers and a slew of fantastic drinks. There seem to be more staff and folks tending the bar that I seem to remember over the last couple of years but there's nothing wrong with that. For the locals the wherehouse is definitely a comfortable place to go, a great place to hang out on the weekends especially in the summer. Tons of parking around the area and lots of other little things to go and see as well on Liberty street. But with the live music and the good food you can spend a couple hours here without a problem.

    Awesome bathroom art
    Kate K.

    Had a kickass time here for drinks w the pals a few weeks back. It was crowded but in a good way- everyone was having a great time and it felt like a chill and friendly atmosphere. We only stopped in for drinks but I checked the menu out after I went home and the selection plus the vegetarian menu.. I will be back to try out the eats. Artsy decor and the bathroom was dope Alice in wonderland theme! Affordable beverages and from the smells coming from the kitchen, idk what the good prices are (which are affordable as well) bc I'll be back!

I was craving something hearty and healthy so naturally, I went for the pearly bowl which originally comes with couscous, roasted cauliflower, golden raisins (trust me these add THEEEE touch), pickled red onions (YUM), tahini sauce, avocado, and a lemon-mint vinaigrette - THISSSSSS. I ended up substituting the couscous for quinoa which was perfect for the type of meal I wanted before traveling. Can we talk about that lemon-mint vinaigrette? It's perfectly green and brings the whole bowl together, SO GOOD. Wish I would've gotten a whole side of that. Ordering delivery through Yelp is so easy thanks to DoorDash and I was so thankful I didn't have to be stuck eating chips and m&ms - love these but I needed a little something more. Next time you're taking a flight from Newburgh airport be sure to get delivery from Ms Fairfax. Can't wait to try their crepes and green goddess wrap from their breakfast and lunch menu!

Street parking available, as well as a municipal lot around the corner. Near a historic site to check out as well, Washington Headquarters. Greeted as I walked in, asked if I had reservations (which I didn't), I was shown the tables available inside & was told I could sit in the back area as well. They also have a cute table in the front outside as well. I sat in the backyard while I waited for my friend to arrive. The establishment has a chill summer vibe. All the staff were friendly & attentive. The special was the red snapper & OMG, they need to just put it on the menu! It was delicious, fried to perfection & had alot of meat. I am not a hummus fan but the appetizer my friend orderd-the hummus was tasty.

    Post lunch Labor Day 2026 outside city escape where my party of six continued our Beacon, NY…read moreadventure. We all decided to be a child again with arcade video games. 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.
