Went back to try this again after a year. The wild boar tacos are very good. Good music. The salsa has a nice kick that doesn't linger. Beer selection is good but unfortunately service could still be improved read more

Pretty decent place. Cool beer selection and atmosphere. Limited seating though. I also think they need to keep up with their beer menu as to whats available and whats not. read more

Such a great touch of NYC in Beacon! Love the selections, the atmosphere, the Beers! Wow! Great inventive use of the space, Classy and So Cool!! My new fave! read more

Draught Industries - Awesome beers and great city style! - Beer Bar Near Me - Beacon, New York

Went to Beacon for a weekend with my best friend and one of our favorite parts of the weekend was the evening we spent at Draught Industries. The staff was very attentive, knowledgeable, and kind, and the selection was fantastic! They had great music playing, and they were able to handle big crowds of people with ease. The next time I am back in Beacon I will make sure to go back! read more

This place has the largest and most diverse beer selection in Beacon. It's very laid back and the bar tenders love to share their extensive beer knowledge. A much needed edition to this beer loving town. read more

See all

Big fan! Great vibe, knowledgeable staff and that's just the start. These guys offer more goodness than any one place should. Bountiful libations from various local"ish" craft brewers and a solid menu to boot. One of the coolest pieces of info from the staff, the restaurant is actually an old alleyway that was developed to create the establishment. All in all a really cool spot to grab some eats and drink some tasty beers. read more

Great bar, amazing selection of beer and knowledgable bartenders! Really delicious Burrito!

The beer selection was tremendous. Loved the vibe in this place. Beacon has always been a cool town but now with this place, it's even better. read more

Great beer choices! Great knowledgable staff. Didn't try the food this time, but the food coming out from the kitchen looked amazing! Can't wait to try it in the future. Will be bavk read more

I was on the road home to Maine from the West Point area and stopped in here after going over the bridge from Newburgh. What a great place. Great selection of craft beers and AWESOME food...I highly recommend the Morrocan meatball sliders. read more

Best beer in town! Love their selection, always something new and different. I often miss my favorite VT beers and ciders, and I can usually find one or two that makes me feel right at home here in the Hudson Valley. read more

Wild boar tacos and empanadas were outta this world! Extensive beer and whiskey list. Very tiny place ...and that's a GOOD THING! Highly recommend. read more

This is a great place! Whiskey, beer, great food. This is a definite stop and i will be back. Excellent selection of whiskys and beers. I had the cuban peoni and it was very good. Some in our group had just fries and loved those too. Bobby the owner, called me by name every time i ordered and it was the first time I've been there. Stop by and have a few read more

Wow, this place is amazing. I wish I lived closer. My sister & I found this place on Yelp as we were driving through NY. After reading all of the positive reviews, we decided to stop in. The interior has a really cool industrial vibe. There's exposed brick, beautiful old wood bar, & industrial pipes that make up the tap area. The tap list was incredible, especially if you love IPA's like I do. They had at least 5 DIPAs on tap that were from awesome breweries like Equilibrium Hill Farmstead, Tired Hands, etc. We also ordered food which was delicious. I was really impressed by this place & I hope to be able to visit again soon. I just read the review from September where someone wrote that the Truffle fries were bland? I have no idea where that came from. Our Parmesan Truffle fries were amazing. You must order them! As a bonus, when we were leaving, we decided to drive down main street. It's a really cute main street with cute shops, cool restaurants, wine bars, etc. This would be a great town to spend a long weekend at. read more

Draught Industries - Beer Bar Near Me - Beacon, New York

Great selection that rotates regularly. Good place to go if you want to be introduced to beers you wouldn't normally be able to walk into a store and buy. They also have a fantastic and obscure whiskey list. The bar food dishes are tasty and most of them are made fresh. The staff is hit or miss, depending on the night, sometimes awesome, sometimes in their own world not noticing whose glasses are empty. Either way, great bar! read more

When I was there, they were serving German kellerbier on the nitro taps. I won't bother to explain this (arguably the dumbest and most flagrant mistake one can make running a beer bar), though. If it doesn't mean anything to you, you'll probably be fine here. But the thing is that under the previous owners, this was one of the smartest beer bars within a thousand miles; everything done right, with care, love, and expertise for great beer. So it's been an awfully steep descent over an awfully short time period (I'll hit a decompression chamber to cure my severe case of beer bar bends). They've cranked the lights up, and hired a bunch of brotastic bros to bartend, who seem like they'd much rather be handling jello shots. Clientele is a combination of shocked, horrified legacy customers (outgoing) and friends of the bros (incoming). Oh well. ===== Edit - funny, I just read the review posted before mine, talking about how it's all friends of the owners, creating an exclusive party vibe (and not an exclusive party you'd likely want to crash). When I went, I actually asked a server "are you open yet, or am I crashing a soft opening party?" So, yeah, that's the vibe: A party you wouldn't want to join, poorly serving beer in an atmosphere they're trying their best to transform from Ideal Beer Sanctuary into every-frickin'-other-bar-in-the-world, including those damn TVs. The mantra seems to be: "Wreck the vibe." They should rename the place "Visigoth's and Friends". ======= To the owner: 1. I'm Italian. I don't see how you read "Italian" in my account. I didn't notice anyone particularly Italian-seeming there. If I did, I might have liked it better. 2. My relationship to the old owners is that I love what they did. Don't know them. Would love for you to have continued in their tradition, and been a loyal customer. You can't buy a biz, change it radically, and have the clientele embrace you. You've made your choices; embrace the consequences. 3. I had your kellerbier more than 5 days ago 4. Vocabulary assistance: "server" means anyone interfacing with customers. Bartenders, managers, barbacks, etc. You had so many people running around that I couldn't identify function, so used the generic term 5.Yelp isn't a PR tool for your biz. It's a place for customers to review and opine (opine means give an opinion). Bad reviews aren't libel nor do they violate TOS. Your brutish reaction only reinforces my observations. Raving on about libel and racism like some crazed person. Calm down, and either 1. embrace your decision to turn this into a completely different sort of bar, and accept that this will naturally repel those of us who loved it before, or 2. tone down the changes, get rid of the blaring TVs and testosterone music, and hire some bartenders who love and know beer, so you alienate older customers less. It's your choice, in your hands. What I say doesn't matter; it's a consequence of your decisions. Good luck (and I accept your banning). read more

Underwhelming. Personality goes a long way and the dude behind the bar had zero. Ordered the boar tacos and they were actually pretty good. That being said, one beer and two tacos is $27. Had they a person behind the bar who seemed to want to be there, it would've gotten more stars. read more

The attitude of everyone that works here needs to change. Ordered a flight of beers that came over WRONG BOTH TIMES..all we said to our bartender was that they were some wrong ones in there and they tasted a little warm...and they responded that if we wanted different ones we needed to decide quickly because she did not have time to argue with us. HA..did not drive up to this sh@t box for that attitude. read more

This place is a nice easy laid back beer bar. Awesome selection and a really knowledgeable staff. I was blown away by how all kinds of people were coming by to drop off a beer they'd tried on a trip and wanted to share with the owners. The menu doesn't have a burger and I didn't love that. But we came back for brunch the next Sunday and were greeted with probably a top 20 brunch menu. The croquet is dope and you gotta try it. Definitely I'll be here weekly. read more

This place is amazing. The owners are amazing people who have brought this bar back to life. Don't believe all the negatives you read on here. Smthe old owner is a dick! read more

Stopped in for a bite and a brew with some friends and enjoyed everything. The old punk music playing playing was an awesome bonus.

The best bar in Beacon. Mac and Cheese bites are awesome. Make sure you arrive by 5 to get a seat at the bar. There is a big selection of craft beers on tap to choose from. read more

Good food, very nice staff and the beers, the beers, the beers! Double IPA Heaven for any beer lover!

Place is amazing, owner came over and personally helped us with beer selections. I can say the beer was the best, this side of the Mississippi. I'd recommend this place to anyone. There were great deals & discounts. Great customer service, 5 star service all around. read more

The beer was average but priced as if it were exceptional. The real problem was that the bartenders, while numerous, were relatively inattentive and lacked basic interpersonal skills. After my friend tipped what was in their minds an inadequate amount to reflect this low quality service, one of the bartenders stood behind me as I payed to guilt trip me into paying more. Instead of harassing customers maybe you should focus on improving the customer service that kept the tip low in the first place. The two stars are for the short rib panini so shoutout to the chef. read more

Hands down best bar in the Hudson Valley. If your looking for legit as fuck high quality local beers this is the spot. They only put on tap the most high quality brews from the Hudson Valley as well as the best from NYC, VT, PA and CT. Ohh and also the food is killer (best Cuban i've ever had), music is real and atmosphere is chill as hell. The two "partners" that own the spot are super friendly and knowledgeable couple of guys ... really enjoy good hops. Make this a destination on your next trip to Beacon or make it to Beacon for a trip to Draught Industries. read more

Excellent gastro pup with a well focused food selection and beer list on tap. Very fair prices and high quality eats. Seating area is commutial with a few long tables so grab a beer and strike up a conversation with some new friends. read more

Love this place - owner and manager so friendly, cool, and helpful! Tons of great local craft beers on top as well as other fun cocktails and such. Cool ambiance with exposed brick, and they have NFL network which not all the local joints have. Food is awesome - everything is handmade - had "The Dip" and it was spicy, cheesy, deliciousness. Homemade tortilla chips. Just wonderful. Great vibe here & look forward to our next visit! read more

Great selection of beer if you're a beer fan. I was completely happy with their selections on tap. Food selection & service is also pretty great. This place has an odd vibe, though. The music they played while I was there was completely awful & it just seems like a spot to grab a couple beers before or after going to dinner - not a destination spot. read more

There are new owners that have kept the great things about this spot and added some of their own ideas. Always awesome. Excellent, knowledgeable staff that are always willing to drop some knowledge on your happy beer drinking ass. Open seven days a week now!!! And open for lunch too; just in case you get a chance to do a lil day drankin'!! Check out their excellent beers! read more

I love coming to Draught, especially after a long shift bartending. The guys behind the bar make you feel welcome and treat you like an old friend. The food is always amazing, as impossible as that sounds, every time I come in the food is always on point. Chef Miguel is one of the best on Beacon. The craft beer selection is among the best since the days of The Hop. The chances of having a bad beer is nigh on impossible. The owners know what they are doing. I'll be coming here for the foreseeable future. Definitely recommend the Bbq chicken flatbread pizza read more

My boyfriend and I were staying in the area and did a quick search for good places to grab beer and a bite to eat for dinner. We settled on Draught Industries because it had all the side effects of a beer bar we typically enjoy. Upon entry the place looked cool, but is definitely smaller and narrower than it appears in pictures. We sat at the tables for a good 10 mins before we realized we had to go to the bar to order food or drinks. It took quite a long time for the bartender to notice we were at the bar to place an order then took a while longer for her to place the order. We got our food in reasonable time l, but it wasn't too much to rave about. Cuban sandwich was very dry and the macaroni bites were very salty. The bartenders seemed inattentive and a bit all over the place while we were here. Before we left one of the employees (he may actually be the owner?) took a minute to ask us how everything was, which was nice. Needless to say, this place has a good beer menu with a lot of local beers, food could be a bit better, and have more attentive staff. read more

By far one of the best places to grab a beer in the Hudson Valley. It's a small, cozy venue with fantastic bartenders, and an equally amazing array of beers. While they do get busy at times, they're always attentive, and provide an overall phenomenal experience. read more

I went into this place for lunch and I was really impressed. I love the decor, the exposed brick really adds to the atmosphere and the music was very upbeat. The bartenders were very knowledgeable of their extensive craft beer selection and they even gave me a sample of a local IPA which had a great flavor, perfect for the summer. I had the Reuben and I definitely recommend it, the fries were really tasty as well. It is always satisfying to cruise down Main Street USA and be able to support local business like Draught Industries! I can't wait to come back to check out the night scene! read more

Great beer selection from their innovative Flux Capacitor system. The spot is really JUST for beers, but when looking for great selection, this is where you go! read more

Loved it. Great place! WOnderful for a nice date night out, if you like beer!

Beer is good. Staff nice although a bit distracted. Interior is nothing special. No true complaints but also not excited about the place

My kind of place! Narrow little gem with a great set of beers on tap. The bartender was really helpful and friendly. Much reccomended.

Good guys, great space & a gnarly tap list of fresh and unique beers. Meet Greg (co-owner), close our eyes and listen to his voice.... he IS Billy Crystal. Wish these guys a lot of luck. Cheers fellas. #caruso read more

Draught Industries is incredible!! We decided to book and plan a private event with them for our Friday night rehearsal dinner for our wedding weekend, and we couldn't have made a better decision. Bobby (the owner) and his staff were so great to work with -- flexible, professional and responsive, and went above and beyond to make our dream rehearsal dinner a reality! We wanted a low-key, fun and upbeat rehearsal dinner with a mix and mingle type format, and Draught delivered. The format of the bar was perfect for our drinks and food/happy hour vibe for around 50 guests, and Bobby and his team planned an open bar with an amazing selection of local beers, prosecco and cider. It was perfect!! Not to mention the food was fantastic as well -- so many of our guests gave us compliments on how surprised they were at the deliciousness of the food!! It definitely goes way above your standard bar food and is absolutely incredible. The vibe and service itself was also fantastic -- all of the staff were so great and helpful the entire night, and everyone's drinks and plates were always full. It was amazing!! The bar itself also has a really cool atmosphere - cool, fun music, lighting and decorations. We would highly highly recommend Draught for any event you are looking to plan!!! read more
