Pumphouse Oktoberfest

Good service and the staff here is really nice. The food was okay not too many vegetarian options I wish there was more food options. Beer was tasty and delicious, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]a great outdoor experience[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

the outside of the building

Place was great, the husband/wife duo that was playing ruined it, but man was the places vibe perfect otherwise. Then again the deep fried smell wasn't my favorite either. Smelled like I was at a baseball stadium but looked like I was in the coolest Catskills experience ever. Felt almost amazing so I'm giving it the four starts. I'd love to go back and hang, but I'd rather buy the place and make my house out of it-

An hour from.hime. new spot for us

One of the coolest places I've been to in a while. Proof that u can do anything with the resources you have. It was a cloudy day, this place is all outdoors so weather is definitely a factor. Thankfully the 2hr we spent there, the rain held off. We were greeted by a nice young woman who explained the place, the menu, the whole 9. Very nice! THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD! We shared the crispy cauliflower which is in some curried sauce(yum) Lumpia, crispy& not greasy, and 2 orders of wings, spicy Korean & honey garlic soy, which were my favorite. I only had a glass of Rosé but my hubby & friend had the pilsner & enjoyed. Great outdoor space, clean bathroom, great service. I'm sorry I showed up late in the season. They will be closed for winter. A definite must!!

Key lime pie

Been wanting to stop in here for a while; it's fully outdoors, so we waited for a few months until a warm day in late spring. They have a great beer selection and live music on certain nights. I wouldn't eat a full dinner here, but they do have some food options (pretzels etc). I only tried the key lime pie, which was bad, but that's kind of on me for ordering key lime pie at an outdoor bar, ha. We also happened to go at sunset, and the vibes were immaculate.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]If you want a speakeasy outdoor vibe, this place is for you![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Casual, elevated food truck cuisine, full bar, and live music on the weekends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's no permanent sign outside; just trust your GPS to get you there!

I love that the place is outdoors. We live in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn so just being outside surrounded by trees and the calming noise of the creek make us happy. When you add to this historic ruins a good selection of beers and wines, snack food, and live music, it is just one happy experience! It is a really unique, magical, and picturesque place.

More seating

This place is a real gem. The location, the remains of an pump house it beautiful. The drinks are great. Say yay to Frose. And the food is good. The menu changes often. The day we went had chicken wings-- a bit messy but delicious!

From the inside out!

We stopped by Do Good Spirits (formerly Prohibition Distillery) on recommendations by Getaway House…read moreand one of my friends who went there before. When we got there, Robert greeted us and, when we asked about them, offered to give us a quick tour (we were the only ones there) for a donation to The Third Option Foundation (how could we say no, especially if it goes to an amazing cause?). To say he knew his stuff is an understatement; he made the complex process so easy to understand! The tasting was like a show in itself; between Brian and him, we really got to know their Bootlegger line of vodka, gins, and bourbons. While all of them tasted great, my personal highlights were the vodka and the bourbon cream. Theirs was the smoothest vodka I ever tried that I almost bought a bottle right then and there (waited until after the tasting, of course). The bourbon cream was like a dessert -- sweet, not too heavy, and, for someone who prefers vodka to bourbon, it made me appreciate bourbon more. Following suit with those who recommended it to me, I also recommend it if you're in/near Roscoe, especially if you want to support the local businesses.

Very friendly staff. Free (donation based) samples of their products. Live music, food,…read morecocktails. This is a spot you can spend a couple of hours here and just let the time pass. The musician who was there when I visited was very good.

Beer is really good (Amber Waves all the way)…read more The food was decent (BBQ pizza was tasty). The staff were exceptionally nice and friendly. The only drawback? 12:30 on a Tuesday, and it was LOUD!!! The concrete floors do a fine job of reflecting all the noise!

We came here 2 days in a row in February 2026 during some super frigid weather. We were staying in…read morethe area for a long weekend getaway. We were super happy that they are indoor dog friendly (well behaved/ leashed dogs only! ) The beer was great. I loved Tommy Boy Farmhouse Ale and Amber Waves Amber Ale. We ended up buying a 4 pack of each to bring home with us. I was so pleasantly surprised by their BBQ offerings. It is very easy to mess up BBQ, but this BBQ was so wonderfully prepared. I have been to so many breweries and BBQ joints that serve dried out, over-sauced meat. The offerings from Smok'd were all excellent. During our first visit we ordered the brisket sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich. The brisket was super juicy and tender. The pulled pork was also juicy and tender. They offered BBQ sauce on the side if we wanted. During our second visit, we sat in the vault. This brewery is in a location that was formerly a bank. The vault was a nice secluded spot. We ordered the ribs and brisket with street corn salad, mac and cheese, and beans. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and the brisket had a beautiful smoke ring. The mac and cheese was super creamy and had a wonderful taste of childhood. It was perfect for a day that had a -23F windchill. Overall, great beer, great food, and great staff. We really enjoyed our time here. I love a great dog friendly brewery! We will definitely return when in the area!

Once you walk into this rustic old home now converted into a cozy restaurant you immediately notice…read morethe character. The large wooden bar shows its age in the best way, giving off that classic, old-school feel. There are about 20 tables and roughly 10 or 15 bar stools in the main seating area. They do take reservations, and it's smart to make one if you want to guarantee a spot. We were greeted right away and served complimentary water and fresh sourdough bread with sea salt and olive oil. The sourdough was incredible honestly some of the best I've had. My wife ordered the chicken parm, which came in a large portion with fresh, house-made pasta. The sauce was excellent, truly one of the best I've ever tasted. The chicken cutlet was perfectly pounded, breaded, and crispy on the outside. I went with one of their standard pizzas a white pie with fresh garlic, honey, and other toppings that all worked beautifully together. Their sourdough pizza dough has been in the family for years from what we were told. The oven appears to be a brick oven (not sure if it's firewood or propane), but it has to be running at 1,000 degrees or more given the incredible crust. They also have a full bar with plenty of beer options. Parking is on a dirt lot across the street, with a small side lot as well. Service was excellent across the board. This is the type of spot that absolutely belongs on the TV show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I can't say enough about how much we loved the food.

My love affair with this place is over. We planned a birthday dinner with our family who drove over…read more5 hours to see us, and arrived at 6p to a chaotic greeting and reservation confusion. The start and basics were delicious as always, but then our dish came out with pasta that was so underdone, it couldn't be saved; if they put it back on the heat, the seafood would surely be overcooked. Then the server made us feel like we were in the wrong after having to send it back twice and finally agreeing to take the dish off the bill. No offer to bring us a different pasta dish or pizza. No offer of dessert for the table. We were so disappointed, and it started a birthday weekend off on the wrong foot.

GREAT MEMORIES!!!! An absolutely wonderful place! I worked…read morethere in the summers of 1958 and 1959 when I was in high school. Art Rohman still owned the place and tended bar seven days a week. I used to set up pins in the bowling alley when there were bowlers. My mother and grandmother knew Rohmans probably for about fifty years back then. Wonderful people to work for and with. Art Rohman must have been in his seventies at the time and a font of history. He provided us free lunch, although he did not serve food to the public then. The hotel had stopped functioning as a hotel by then. Mr. Rohman lived in one of the rooms as did one of his bartenders.His nephew Nick lived in the house left of the front of the hotel and worked as a bartender. Before I arrived, Mr. Rohman had had his own barber living in the hotel. When that was discontinued, he would drive across to Barryville to go to Trevor's barbershop (on River Road) who was also the Justice of the Peace. That and going to funerals were the only time he left the building. He never waited at Trevors. John Trevor used to ask the person whose hair was being cut to leave the chair so that Mr. Rohman could get his shave. Sometimes there were three or four people waiting for a haircut. Mr. Rohman always paid for the haircuts of those he cut in front of. I do remember the great baseball pitcher Smoky Joe Wood coming in periodically for a case of beer which I would carry out for him. There was also the mail car on the train which went around 4:00 every afternoon. A six pack (cost a dollar then) was run out to the mailcar every day. They never tipped. Sundays were a spectacle. PA. had Blue Laws which prohibited bars from being open on Sundays. Rohman's was exempt. The Catholic Church was a few hundred yards away. When service let out, most of the attendees walked down the street and into Rohman's. On that day Mr. Rohman was known as Father Rohman. I was told that Rohman's was open all through prohibition. Politicians then were no different than today, although it was probably cheaper to bribe them. The boarding house trade was going strong back in the 1950s. There were many in the area. Pre-lunch cocktails were a regular routine for the boarders. I used to bus tables and restock the bar (only fresh fruit in all the drinks). At around 11:30 AM the place would fill with boarders. I would guess that there were more than 100 patrons crowding the place. Then it would empty as they went back for lunch (12:30 I think). Kids were welcome. My parents used to take me there when I had to stand on a chair to play one of the two pinball machines. Rohman would often come over and throw a bunch of nickels onto the machine for us kids to use for additional games. Nighttimes were crazy. Whatever the capacity of the bar, you couldn't get another person or table into the barroom. There were five bartenders on at night and often the customers were five deep at the bar. Friday nights were the worst. Husbands used to come up from the city on the train after work and walk right across the tracks into Rohman's to join their wives. Busing tables was difficult because you couldn't navigate around the room. There were three doors across the front (railroad side). To get to the other end of the bar I would go out the nearest door, walk to the farthest door and re-enter there. Getting back with a tray full of glasses and ashtrays retraced the route. A great place! I am tempted to come up from NC to revisit the old times. The name I use is a pseudonym. I have a website at www.economicnoise should anyone want to discuss this part of my youth further. I had many good times in the Barryville -- Shohola area and good friends. I considered Art Rohman a friend despite our considerable age difference.

Great place. Old time charm. You have to look at the register when it was operating as a hotel…read more Some great old names!
