This has turned into a mainstay for my husband and I. We frequent this restaurant about 2X per month. I have eaten everything on their menu and recommend it all except the bacon. But my husband loves the bacon and orders it all the time so it's not like it's bad... just not for me. April makes the best drinks! And my favorite there is the manhattan. They mist it with a little Laphroig single malt scotch. Delicious. Don't hesitate to try this place; you won't regret it. read more

Chohecton Fire Station was such a great find! The hummus and cheese board were absolutely awesome -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully put together. Everything tasted high quality and paired perfectly together. The vibes were on point too. Great atmosphere, relaxed but lively, and the music really set the mood without overpowering conversation. It's the kind of place you want to hang out in for a while. read more

10/10 experience wish I could give this place more stars! Such a cool vibe. Had the fire going and good music on. They have cozy couches or a bar to sit at. The food is all wood fired so the menu is quite small. But everything we tasted packed a punch! Favorites were the skirt steak and ginger pork. We also tried the Cuban corn, trout, and Mac n cheese. Service is great, people are all kind. Definitely check out this spot! Highly recommend. read more

Made an early afternoon pit stop on our road trip back home from Livingston Manor after hearing some locals sound the siren at the Cidery near Callicoon. Your appetite will be reduced to rubble at this tapas-style 'backcountry bar' (as per Men's Journal), but there's not enough water in the Delaware to put out the blaze of innovation lit by these backwoods libations, fresh herbs and fruit abound. I would call it a secondary-road speakeasy, with creative and well-executed cocktails that pair nicely with all the food options from the equally-balanced menu. Being an old firehouse, you'll want to cozy up with the love of a lifetime in the equally rustic couches that surround the indoor fireplace. The bartender is perched behind bottles of tinctures that scream alchemy, and they have plenty of freezer and takeout options for another night. To stoke our own embers, we went with the white bean bruschetta, pickled veggies, hasselback potato, Cuban corn, Butcher's bacon. Top-notch ingredients, well-seasoned and thoughtfully prepared, we'd order each item again, if there weren't so many great choices to go back for. Awesome spot! read more

Was excited to try this place as the reviews were really good however the service and food were just okay. There is no table service so you have to order at the bar and basically self serve. read more

Very cool place, service was great and food was excellent. We sat at the bar and the barmaid was very sweet.

Food was on point. Everything was delicious. Loved the ambiance. Bartender was really friendly as well

Amazing cocktails and food and a really neat place with nice staff. We had the potato, crispy chicken thigh, skirt steak, and bean bruschetta. All were tasty and I would try anything on their menu. But my favorite was definitely my rum punch drink! You could taste all of the flavors and the quality in each sip. Definitely worth the visit! read more

Fantastic cocktails, delicious food and service is excellent. Gorgeous place also with great reggae ska music when we visited several times. In fact we ended up visiting every night because it was so good! Highly recommend this amazing place. read more

The atmosphere is really cool, in an old fire house that's been beautifully renovated. Inside, there's a warm ambience with leather couches along with the chairs and tables. You go up to the bar to order and then someone delivers it to your table. We found the servers to be super friendly and accommodating. Everything on the menu except a few veggies are roasted in a wood fired oven, even the artichoke dip. Everything was delicious. Especially the trout on a cedar plank, the bacon entre and the rustic bread (Whatever they put on it, it's delicious!). I had a cocktail (Mexican firing squad) -- tasty but a little too sweet for me. Should have ordered a margarita or something else from the long cocktail list. Some food items are a little pricey, and the portions are not huge. If you're hungry the bill will add up. read more

Damn, this place was excellent. The trout was my favorite, but right up there were the steak, chicken, bacon. Great comfy feel. Just excellent. read more

This has been a staple of ours when we are in Sullivan county/ western Catskills for many years. The vibe is so cool. Set in an old refurbished fire house. The food is absolutely delicious. They manage to keep the menu exciting, current, and full of flavor while keeping it simple and delicious. The wood fired grill adds extra flavor to all of the dishes. The cocktails are the best! If your an old fashioned fan you have to try the ornery old fashioned. Our favorite foods are the chicken (so simple but hands down best chicken I have ever had) the roasted cheese board, skirt steak, hasselback potatoes, and wood plank grilled trout. It's a casual fun cocktail bar vibe that's also family friendly. The kind of place that makes you want to become a regular! read more

What a cozy piece of history! My medium rare skirt steak was cooked perfectly. You could cut it with a dinner knife it was so tender. The Cuban corn was delicious. Luckily I was eating alone because it got a little messy with the tasty coating falling off (not a first date food choice)! The Cosmopolitan was also perfect. Great staff and there were quite a few friendly locals that made me feel welcome. Highly recommend! read more

It has been almost 4 years to the day. Tough review to write as my wife passed last Oct. We were last there in March of 2020. This was our go to spot till covid, not just due to the ambiance but the owners and the food were amazing. Returned this past April .. and was not disappoint. My friend who is very picky loved the place. One review suggested a small loan to be able to afford a dinner. $36 gets you 2 chicken thighs, a corn and a potato .. as well as one of the best Old Fashions i have ever had. For my money, it is a steal and i am retired on a fixed income. Was very happily surprised, nice to see the 2 boys making a go of it .. thru covid and onward. read more

Just stopped for lunch at Cochecton Fire Station since it was suggested to us. It seemed nice and new, and had a cozy vibe. We were a little surprised that they didn't have table service and that we had to order at the bar, but it was fine! Good chocolate egg crème and Mac and cheese. The chicken thigh was fine but basic, and the skirt steak was definitely the star of the show. It came in a delicious pan sauce that we really enjoyed. Everything came to the table very hot and fresh. Overall, not a bad stop for our lunch before our activities for the day. read more

Loved the vibe! Music easy atmosphere friendly bar tender all good things! Didn't order much but the kids loved the chicken thigh and rice! Must go back to just relax and enjoy the place' read more

Great spot for a casual dinner. The space is fun with several seating areas, bar seating, an indoor dining area stocked with cozy couches, and an outdoor deck. We ordered a selection of yummy treats including the mac n'cheese (yes!), Hasselback potatoes (crispy and delish!), roasted caprese (excellent!), white bean bruschetta (good, but couldn't eat since I have a red onion allergy), butcher's bacon (giant slab of meat!), and smore (melty and sweet). Come with friends and be merry. read more

Too many tables and chairs packed into a small space, but the ambience otherwise is nice. The food is very tasty, however, it is entree prices for less than appetizer size servings. You need a bank loan to eat a meal here. read more

When this place opened 5 years ago it was hands down our favorite place to go. Great, friendly staff, (both owners, Brian and the twins) great food and truly crafted cocktails. Always met friendly people at the bar. After Covid, the vibe really changed. Where they used to handcraft all the cocktails, then now seem mixed ahead of time. Bar staff not very enthusiastic or friendly. Have gone many times since Covid and walk out feeling same way. I miss the old vibe! read more

I was staying in Cochecton for the weekend and was across the street basically from the Cochecton Fire Station. We decided to check it out for dinner one night, and we were glad that we did! As soon as you walk in you're greeted with warmth. We tried a couple of things on the menu and had a drink each. All were delicious! It's definitely cozy and comfortable and would recommend if you're in the area. read more

It's important to be discerning when reading Yelp reviews. That said, to those saying that this restaurant offers "small portions," is "too expensive," or the person who gave 1 star, but didn't actually eat here bc the set-up was "awkward"& he "doesn't understand why he can't just eat inside" during a global pandemic, etc.... these people are the type of people who are science-deniers and value quantity over quality--i.e. would have no qualms eating out of a literal trough and fall into the obese-to-morbidly-obese weight range. You know the type of person I'm talking about. This restaurant is not for those people, and they should have known that from the get-go at the first review of the menu, but stupid can't be fixed, unfortunately. This restaurant is outstanding. The quality and preparation of the food rivals many 4-5-star restaurants in Philly (where I hail from). The menu is small and thoughtfully planned. We had the steak, potato, & mac-n-cheese, which was the perfect amount of food for me and my husband. The steak was so delicious - perfectly prepared to medium rare, so tender, and the drippings were so good, I ended up dipping the potato in it. I was initially skeptical about the potato - I thought it might be soggy, but no, the outer crust was so deliciously crispy, & the inside was tender, but not overdone. Fresh dill within the sour cream added such a burst of freshness to the dish. The mac-n-cheese was also exceptional - multiple cheeses make for a complex flavor combination and the right balance of crispy crust to gooey inside. The outdoor seating area is lovely with very nice ambiance. The place has propane heaters & lots of picnic & cafe tables. We brought blankets with us too (as we typically do at places with outdoor seating, as we love sitting outdoors in the cold weather, & blankets keep your tush cozy!) just to make sure we'd be very comfortable and would be able to spend some time there with our drinks if we wanted to. We were plenty warm and comfortable and truly enjoyed the space. If you, like me and my family, value sharing quality time and food with your loved ones during the infrequent times you go out to a restaurant for a meal, then this place is for you. If you are looking for a toilet-bowl full of garbage food to feed you & your obese family, then just go to Burger King. read more

Love this place! Great tapas style dishes all cooked in their wood burning oven. Drinks are nice as well!

The food was always great not big selections or portions more appetizers type dining. Unfortunately in last year or so they seem to think takeout should pay a large tip, if not they shame the customer by saying no tip or small tip! After seeing it and heard from others, I have stopped going to this place. Tips on takeout were given during pandemic to help out the workers. read more

We were going to have lunch here but couldn't get past the awkward set up. I have no idea why they don't allow you to eat inside. Instead they make you order through some take out window, then walk to the other side of the building to sit at a picnic table. Not sure what happens once you actually are seated. We decided to pass and went to eat at more traditional restaurant not some overpriced take out window. read more

It's a drink place not a food place but the food is great! And the drinks are EXCEPTIONAL!! Super cool people are always behind the bar. Fantastic atmosphere. One of the best hang outs in the area. Everyone is welcome! read more

The food was good but the service was bad, you have to bring your own drinks to the table they had some bald guy come out and serve the food and he got mad cause we told him he brought the wrong food, and he gave us an attitude I would never eat there again read more

We enjoyed this place so much. What a diamond in disguise. Unique cocktails and the food was absolutely delicious. The best meal we had in the area and what an interesting/cool location. read more

Comfort food with a flare, and (I'm sure) remarkable cocktails. We stopped by en route to dropping a kid at Tyler Hill Camp, so it was a midday visit without an opportunity to partake in all of the interesting cocktails. The menu is clever--all of the food items fall into the "$5" or "Not $5" sections. We ordered all of the $5 items plus an order of plank trout and we shared everything. The Mac and cheese was the best I've ever encountered, and the crispy rice and beans were the perfect blend of crunchy deliciousness with sour cream. The potato is sliced and crunchy on the outside and smooth on the inside again with sour cream (awesome). The plank trout was tasty but over salted. The roasted romaine was also a tasty treat. Nothing was exotic but everything was spectacularly tasty--would be a regular if I lived near here! read more

We loved the place when we went. Indoor space is pretty cool with fireplace, cozy bar area, with living room chairs. Crowded even on a cold day. Cocktails were great. Tasty skirt steak, Cheese plates, Mac & cheese. We stopped in during covid-time & got some grab/go once & it was great. read more

Had a horrible experience. place is pretty much self service. Put the order in with bartender. Waited an hour only to find out our was never put in. Totally unacceptable. Very disappointing I was looking forward to a good meal and ended up with nothing read more

Went here for a friends birthday as a group of 7 and we all enjoyed this place!! The cocktails were fabulous, they make all their juices and carry quality liquors. The menu is simple. We ordered macaroni and cheese, chicken thighs, hassleback potatos, steak and the cheese board. It did not disappoint. The table favorites were the cheese board and the steak - which was cooked to perfection in their brick oven. It's a casual dining experience with no table service, everything is ordered at the bar. It's simple, unique and wonderful. Oh and the detailed woodwork inside is amazing! read more

Cocktails to go? Yes, please!!! Always fantastic service, good eats, and even better cocktails.

Yes-Yes-and more-YES!!! So glad we found this place while visiting the Catskills. Everything was prepared skillfully, simple, and delicious. Cannot wait to return when they fully reopen and get the full experience. It had just rained so we did grab and go but they have a lovely outdoor seating area should decide to eat on premise. If you choose to do so they have an interesting choice of cocktails with a cadre of house made syrups and mixers. read more

Consistently good food and service. We are lucky to have them so close. The menu is small but mighty. I never leave disappointed.

Best cocktails and rum punches..great sizes of those to go. Food is excellent too. Best place to go in the area by a long shot! read more

My fiance and I had an amazing dinner from Cochecton to celebrate our engagement. We were staying at a nearby town and were recommended this restaurant from our host. We were so glad for it - the food was delicious and unique, including a cheese board literally served on plywood and fantastic cocktails. We enjoyed our dinner so much that we had to return for a few more apps to-go. Highly recommend! read more
