It's drizzled with honey and served with their warm focaccia bread that has flaky sea salt on top- so good! The Medusa pizza was delicious as well. For dessert, the ricotta semolina cake was perfectly executed. Topped with a candied citrus- went perfectly with the fresh cream. Recommend sitting at the booth in front of the fireplace. Super cozy & warm.

I asked for my favorite cocktail, an espresso martini, but unfortunately they don't make them, so I was definitely a little disappointed. Luckily, my second favorite is a lemon drop martini, and I also had a Cosmo! Hubby had a margarita and a beer. They have a smaller food menu. Nothing really called to us for a full meal, but we decided to share the crackers and pimento cheese, which was perfect for having something to snack on while we enjoyed our drinks. A few of the staff members were really friendly and talkative with us, which made us feel welcoming. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this as a spot to grab some cocktails, settle in, and catch a vibe for the night. It was a fun little date-night find in the Catskills!

Wow, what a treat to experience Willy's Rum Room on its opening night! Well, technically the space…read moreitself has been open for some time now, it's just moonlighting as Willy's now. By day, you know it as the Mercantile, the small coffee shop/bakery attached to Wm. Farmer and Sons. Though small in size and in what it offers, Willy's is a formidable venue. The cocktail program was created by the guy who created that of Wm. Farmer and Sons, which is probably the best of its kind in Hudson. As you'd guess, all drinks are rum-based (feel free to order from the adjacent bar if you're not feeling rum but in my opinion, only pop in here if you're looking for some funky rum cocktails). I'm not typically into rum, but I can be swayed if a drink is good enough. Such was the case here, and it didn't surprise me. Come here for a pre-dinner cocktail or a nightcap and learn a bit about a spirit you might've not thought much about prior to visiting. Welcome to the scene! Came here with my bf on a Friday night. We were getting dinner at Wm. Farmer and Sons but arrived a bit early for our reservation. Our gracious host recommend that we hang by the bar, OR, try out Willy's, just through the entryway. We apparently visited on its opening night, and I hope it enjoys a good life here. The hostess informed us that the cocktail menu there was different than that at Wm. Farmer and Sons--all rum-based--but if we weren't feeling rum, the bartender could still whip anything up from the restaurant's main menu. As I mentioned, the space itself is teeny tiny. Standing room only--more of a place to stop in as opposed to posting up and staying awhile. Just like its parent restaurant, the vibe in here is cozy and welcoming. Let's get to the important stuff: drinks. Everything at Willy's is rum-based. Even if you're not a rum lover, don't just assume you'll prefer the cocktail menu at Wm. Farmer and Sons better. I usually go for whiskey or gin, but I was thrilled with what I tried here. That said, if you come here and for some odd reason decide that you want to stay in this space but order from the other bar, you can indeed do that. I just don't suggest it, because what's the point? Between me and my bf, we tried the Mai Tai (Jamaican Rum, Bajan Rum, Rhum Agricole, Fresh lime juice, Curacao, Orgeat, Overproof Rum float) and the Fish House Punch (Jamaican Rum, Cognac, Peach Liquer, fresh lemon juice, soda water). Both fun tropical drinks, nice for the beginning of spring. Expertly crafted and impeccably balanced. I suppose I preferred the Fish House Punch slightly, but they were both fantastic. I thought the peach/cognac pairing was quite nice, rich but still refreshing. They also offer a Daiquiri and an Old Fashioned here, with your rum of choice. I'd probably recommend exploring that route if you want to explore different rums and understand a bit more about what each type brings to the table. I know lots about gin and whiskey and don't care to know too much more about rum (plus I don't like rum-based, spirit-forward drinks so the old fashioned would be a no-go) so it wasn't for me. That said, the bartender here is as knowledgable as they come and I somewhat regret not asking him about his selection to learn a bit more. They've got some fun stuff here that's worth looking into. Cheers!

It's easily one of my favorite places in Hudson. The gluten free crab cakes are my go to, along with the dip and chips.

I usually stop in during the day for a bite and a couple drinks, but the dance parties are always a blast too. Great people, great vibe. Very lucky to have Padrona in the neighborhood.

I didn't stay at the hotel because it is pretty pricey, but I visited their Lounge after getting dinner in town. Didn't have a reservation so getting into the restaurant bar was impossible but they told us we could walk around the corner to their lounge. Upon entering the lounge, we were greeted immediately and told that there was no available seating due to full reservations yet half the bar and a few of the lounge tables were empty. The guy said he would take our names and that it could be up to an hour wait so we did that and stood there. After nearly 45 minutes and those empty bar seats + lounge yankee still not being filled, he offered us a half of a couch next to another couple. We would've sat next to them sooner if only he let us! Aside from that, service was fast and drinks were good. The menu included signature cocktails that paired with the Maker's signature fragrances. I tried the Rebel which was pretty good. We ordered some bites -- the beef tartare with onion rings and a side of fries. I love a beef tartare which is so rare to find as many places offer Tuna. It really hit the spot. Moral of the story: Make a reservation!

Lady behind the counter couldnt be any nicer. couldnt decide on what i wanted so i chose a 3 meat platter with 2 sides. went with burnt ends, pork ribs and jalapeno sausage with potato salad and pickled beets. Everything was delicious, if I had to pick a favorite the burnt ends just melted when you bit into them. sausage had nice bite from the jalapeno. homemade potato salad was great and so were the pickled beets. their homemade sauces also stole the show with the mango habanero just kickin my butt, but couldnt stop dipping everything in it. the Q here was just so good i brought another 3 meat platter home to the fam for dinner! this time i went with those ridiculous burnt ends again, jalapeno sausage and brisket instead of ribs. the brisket was delicious however i prefer it sliced rather than pulled. mac and cheese and baked beans were the side choices this time, and of course just terrific. more of that mango habanero sauce too - so addictive.... only negative i would say is i didnt love the complimentary pickles. who cares when everything else just knocked our socks off. i love great bbq, so i wish this place wasnt so darn far away from me. however, whenever I am up this way, this will be an absolute must stop for some fabulous Q. thanks J&J - my treadmill hates you (but i dont).
