    Hummus Appetizer
    Shayna H.

    Great food and fun entertainment! I came with a party of five and when we were making our reservation they informed us that there would be live music's! They also asked if we wanted to seat that was more quiet or that was closer to the music which is what I thought was very courteous. The server was very kind and so was the management. I split a hummus appetizer which came with two large slices of pita. It was very tasty. For my main dish I ordered the chicken wings off of the starters however it was plenty for a main meal. it was very saucy and also delicious. I had a great experience and would definitely be a repeat customer!

    Food was amazing, server was upbeat and attentive. Only issue was a small error where we got wrong appetizer and then never received the one we wanted . They said they would correct it but failed to do so. We were charged however for the appetizer which was a little disappointing. The show we attended was far beyond expectations. Overall would return, a wonderful night out.

    WOW- Words can not express how bitterly rude GREG, the GM is there. Last night we attended a small gathering for a birthday party. (I've been here plenty of times, I am a local) TO GET THE POINT ACROSS: There rule is you MUST order at least 2 appetizers or 1 entree' on nights that bands are playing PER PERSON if you book prior. ... If you are a walk in this rule does not apply. "Apparently" this was said to the person who booked our table. I've never had this happens before. I've been plenty of times when bands are playing and have ordered drinks and 1 app. There's nothing on the website about this. I do understand that they are trying to make a buck during these uncertain times. When I called Greg the manger he talked over me.... he had already knew what the complaint was going to be.... which means they have got this complaint before. Last thing word for word the waitress said to me "If you don't order a second app then I'll get fired" I can not believe that they have a rule like that. It's so wishy washy and not stated ANYWHERE that a minimum of 2 apps PER PERSON or ONE full dinner if you want to come in. Sides also don't count as apps ?? Either. I was forced into getting a flatbread pizza $16 and a $14 goats cheese salad with canned beats and no goats cheese. BTW the salad was TO GO because I wasn't even hungry for it!!! - it's obviously is a complaint that must be consistent there because Greg knew right away what the complaint was going to be and I didn't even get to express my experience.... Greg should be happy that we had a $500 dollar bill and should be begging us to come back ??? I wouldn't be returning for quite some time. I've been here with family members so many times and it's SAD to see how poor this place is ran over covid. Just passing the word on!! I give it fairly a two star for the horrible experience that I had. Here's a pic of my canned beats salad to go and pizza flat breads .

    Paninis are a good portion and you can choose between the salad or fries.

    Catch a fun show but look them up first to see what's on deck. Waitress was super friendly as was the rest of the staff. Espresso martini was tasty as well.

    Fish tacos! Good portion of fresh fish.

    I know they require that you order one entree minimum; if you're seeing a show-curious as to whether you can order two appetizers instead-$$$ would be equivalent.?

    2 appetizers = 1 entrée

    The portions are big but save room for dessert because the cakes are some of the best in the Hudson Valley.

We are Gluten…read morefree, so my reviews are always expressed through that lens. * We started with the butter and blue salad perfect blend of flavors - blue cheese and thick tender chewy bacon chucks - yummy! Hubby had the burger - sans bun (gf) he called it "good and tasty." I can vouch for the excellent crispy hot fries. I had a special risotto - with savory veggies,crunchy crispy onions, cooked al dente - perfect. * We shared the cheesecake which could be delivered gluten free simply omitting the gram cracker sprinkle - creamy cheesy deliciousness. * Our first time hearing the Jack Grace a gentle blend of country, rock, and bossa nova made us fans. Apple Music does not represent what we heard. LIve was better. We will be back and recommend the food and the music! Nice bar, the tight seating in dining area but does not take away from atmosphere- feels more intimate. Excellent attentive service.

But when I want to have an elevated experience with a nod to fine dining, this is my go-to. I always bring friends from out of town here and everyone is impressed. The bartenders make the best martinis and Manhattans you'll find, along with a seasonal cocktail menu that features something for everyone, including mocktails. When I don't want a full dining experience but the hubs and I have a babysitter, we like to sit at the bar for martinis and oysters - SO FRESH! If you don't do oysters, anything on the appetizers list is a wonderful light bite. I don't know what kind of magic the chef uses to make the salads but they are always simple, yet stunning. For dinner, the steak is hard to pass up if you eat red meat. I usually get the single serving NY strip, which is incredible. You can't go wrong. I'm excited to try the porterhouse for 2. My mollusk loving friend raved about the mussels and the fish selection is fantastic. I'm not a big dessert person, but splitting any of the desserts is a treat. Alternatively, the digestif selection doesn't disappoint. The bartenders and bar manager, Nick, are helpful in guiding your taste buds to the right choice. Bud, the owner, whose previous establishments can be read about in some respectfully placed articles around the restaurant, is always accommodating for the busiest place in town. It's nearly impossible to get a seat on Friday and Saturday nights from 6-9, but he will be honest and create a space at one of the little side bar areas if he can. The ambiance is sexy and sophisticated with a touch of whimsy. The toilet paper holder in the restroom always makes me smile (IYKYK). Having been to this restaurant many times, you'll start to see familiar faces as there is now a strong regular crowd. The community and connections that I've found while at Lyonshare have enhanced my experience of living in Beacon. Oh, last thing - brunch is a can't miss, must do culinary event.

We were seated right by the window and it has a lovely view. Generally speaking, the ambience is really nice. All of the staff was very nice and attentive. We did have a newer server who seemed a little bit nervous and less familiar with the menu than you might want, but she was very nice and we have no complaints about the actual service. We split a half bottle of wine, which was a nice option since we didn't want a full bottle. We started with the French baguette, the brussels sprouts, and the whipped ricotta. The brussels sprouts were delicious. They were perfectly cooked and I couldn't stop going back to them. The whipped ricotta was also really interesting and the flavors were amazing. What was really disappointing was the baguette. When I think baguette, I think crusty, hot, out of the oven. The texture of the baguette was weird because it almost had more of a pretzel like exterior that was chewy and not crispy. For mains, we had the crispy chicken sandwich and the cassoulet. The sandwich was kind of a letdown. The flavors were all nice, but there was no textural difference. The bun was a little too big for the sandwich, the avocado, and the other toppings, just all kind of mushed into each other. It was perfectly enjoyable, but just nothing to write home about. The cassoulet was very good. There was a nice depth of flavor and smokiness to the meat. Overall, no complaints. It did seem as though our mains probably sat under a heat lamp. My guess is that because we were still working on the appetizers they did not want us to feel rushed, but with this kind of meal and the price point, they should do a better job pacing, or they should just bring the food out when it comes out. I would rather have the fresh hot food out of the kitchen, than have it sitting under a heat lamp. Overall, the meal was lovely. There were a lot of really high points. There were also some disappointing parts of the meal. Given the price point and the feel of the round house, the few missteps hit a little bit harder. But we would absolutely come back again. It was an overall very nice experience and we enjoyed our ourselves.

There was actually a good amount of items on the menu which I was surprised about but everything sounded really good. My friend went with with the veggie scramble and I went with the Hobo scramble. The portion size was really good and both dishes came with a side of toast. The food was delicious - the flavors amazing and they really loaded up on the fillings. It was such a perfect brunch meal on a rainy Sunday in beacon. I will say the service was a little on the slower side but they were pretty busy and they were super nice. Highly recommend checking this place out if you are visiting Beacon and are in the mood for brunch!

The place has a home vibe like eating a dining room at your home. So for the food, I got the peri peri chicken skewers and they really good, chicken was moist,tender and very spicy , I wish the skewers were bigger and I got more chicken. The arugula salad underneath was alright, but I had to use the tzatziki sauce as dressing and wish more smooth the chunky as sauce for that reason. The basket of house fries were great, actually very crispy and lightly seasoned. A definite great first time here for lunch.

First, the bartender was so lovely! I don't drink so I was truly impressed with the number of non-alcoholic beverage options available. I initially ordered a non-alcoholic drink, but then I saw the Shark Attack Mocktail and asked if I could switch to that. Thankfully I caught her right before she started making the first drink! The mocktail was sooo cute and actually really tasty! (See photo I included). I loved the theme of it, especially as summertime is officially here. Now let's talk about the arcade part of this place! The machines take quarters, so use the ones you have in your pocket! No quarters? No problem! They have a machine that will give you them, however it only accepts $1 and $5 bills. No cash? Also not a problem! They have an ATM on site. They really did think of everything, here! Most of the games are old skool, such as Pac-Man, Pinball, Dance Dance Revolution, etc. They also have a claw machine, however it's rigged so don't waste your time or quarters on it (which is exactly what I did, hahah!). Pac-Man is two players and my husband and I had a lot of fun with that one! I also LOVED Dance Dance Revolution (located in the far left corner in the back, behind the bar area) and wish I had found it before I wasted most of our quarters. Most of the games take anywhere from $0.50 to $1 to play, so keep that in mind. The patio is very large and much quieter compared to inside. I loved the atmosphere with all the string lights! They also have two little seating areas that are gated (which kind of look like adult playhouses?) which I think would be an awesome spot to chill with your friends + your dog. No fear of your pup running off! Regarding food: they do have a small menu, however it's mostly snack items like mozzarella sticks, a giant pretzel, things to that nature. What's cool, though, is that they offer vegan chicken nuggets!! Not a lot of bars have these, so it's definitely worth noting. 11/10 recommend that you stop in here while visiting Beacon! We absolutely loved it and would come back in a heartbeat!

    Happy Valley Arcade Bar is a craft beer bar and classic video arcade that opened in Beacon, New…read moreYork in August 2020. It was founded by husband and wife Johnny Coughlin and Alyssa Follansbee. Coughlin is a cinematographer by trade while Follansbee is a public school art teacher. In 2011, the couple were both living in the Wicker Park area of Chicago. When the Emporium Arcade bar opened in their neighborhood, they both fell in love with the concept of an arcade bar. They later moved to New York City and visited as many arcade bars as they could with the intent to one day open one of their own. By 2018, the couple relocated upstate to Beacon to start a family. It dawned on them that Beacon would be a great location to open a "barcade". The couple didn't just want to open a place for adults to chase the nostalgia of their childhood, but rather a place that the whole family could enjoy. After securing a location on Main Street, and after a short delay from the COVID-19 pandemic, Happy Valley Arcade Bar finally opened to the public. I recently visited Happy Valley with my two sons while we were visiting Beacon. I've loved arcade bars since the first time I visited a Barcade location in 2014. I love sipping on excellent craft beers while enjoying the classic arcade cabinets of my youth. I also appreciate it when arcade bars are family friendly, as both of my sons have also taken an interest in arcade games. We all enjoyed the interior of Happy Valley with all of the crazy colors and spaceship-themed decor on the walls. There was a decent selection of classic arcade cabinets as well as pinball machines, both of which kept my sons occupied for a while. In addition to a nice selection of craft beer on draught, the bar also offers wine, craft cocktails, non-alcoholic options, and various bar bites such as chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and mac 'n' cheese bites. There were also plenty of seating options both inside and outside. We had already eaten lunch earlier, but I was definitely in the mood for some tasty brews while I played some games. I first enjoyed a Thin Man Brewery's "Pills Mafia" (German Pilsner) followed by an Old Glenham Brewery's "Weaver's Pale Ale" [on cask]. Both of them were flavorful and refreshing. We ended up staying for over an hour; it was nice bonding time for my sons and me. We will definitely stop in again the next time we're visiting Beacon!
