    We only stopped in for one drink but the Lyonshare Public House made a lasting impression. The bright and airy vibe makes this Main St bar a go-to for a good cocktail. Very welcoming and laid back. The Old fashioned I had was delicious. All the drinks I saw the bartender make looked great as well. Well done.

    It's a smaller place but pretty inside. The 4 stars are for their food...best steak and eggs I've had in a while. Very tender meat and the sauce and crispy potatoes were delicious. Their drinks were weak tho. Annoying lol. Id still come back to try their other dishes!

    Inside -- it's NEVER this empty; we got there right at opening one time.

    I've been to Lyonshare a few times now; twice for date night, so just the two of us, and once with a group for weekend brunch. I'm a fan! First, I think I enjoyed being there with just one other person (or perhaps a small group up to 4?) to be able to hear each other. Lyonshare is popular already, so it's usually pretty full and the acoustics are pretty acoustic...y... A favorite of ours is the burger -- I know it's funny to lift up a burger, but when it's a really good burger, you lift her up! The mac 'n cheese is rich and comforting; I'm not a huge thyme fan, and the breadcrumbs on the top are flavored with thyme, so less of a fave. But if you're into that flavor you will dig this. At brunch, we had a whole bunch of different things -- the Beacon Benedict was a big hit, as was the biscuits and gravy and avocado toast. Someone at the table next to ours got the ricotta toast, and when I politely exclaimed, "OOOH, WHAT'S THAT?" the person told me and said it was delicious. Everyone who works there is lovely, especially the folks who greet you -- whether the person/hostex at the front who checks your reservation the person behind the bar or any of the servers and food bearers -- the atmosphere is really comfortable and warm. Looking forward to our next visit!

    So I've been wanting to try this place since it first came on the scene. It use to be a place run locally so didn't know what to expect. it was completely different from what I expected but in a good way. The owner is an absolute gem. The staff, are a bunch of sweethearts. The best way to describe it, I would say is it reminds me a spot you find in the city. It works for it's a date night, a girls night, or just a group friends. Make reservations in advance though, for the weekends. It's warm and inviting, but there's an upscale essence that exists. The dish, is just perfection. I was hesitant at first, debating whether it would be filling without your typical starch element, but it was just that. The bass that I had played well off of the anise and the dill. Oh, and the bar selection is extensive. Plenty of options to choose from but the ancient mariner is my personal favorite. I love sweet drinks. This is sweet but balanced. I'll leave the rest to you to experience and maybe, I'll see you there!

    This place has such a great vibe. Whether it's just you, a special night like an anniversary, or a big group of friends (I've experienced all three), the atmosphere is perfect every time. The food is consistently delicious (the kind you actually look forward to coming back for), and the menu always feels thoughtful. Cocktails never miss and the staff is top tier. The live music is what really sets it apart. It's not the kind of generic background stuff you hear at other places. Every band feels intentional, like they were chosen because they truly fit the space. All around, it's one of those spots that feels welcoming every time and delivers on all the things you want: great food, great atmosphere, and music that makes the night memorable.

    Valentine's Day dessert with strawberry and hazelnut
    Danielle D.

    My husband and I visited Lyonshare on Valentine's Day and we had an excellent early dinner. The restaurant is beautiful and the host was very welcoming. We started with the oysters and pierogi, and both were excellent. Our half dozen order included oysters from Nova Scotia, Massachusetts and Virginia, and they all tasted very fresh. The pierogi were elevated with a creamy sauce that was beyond delicious. The Madame Brett cocktail was really refreshing and the thyme flavor came through strongly. The fried chicken was really good and the biscuit that comes with it blew us away. It was the best biscuit I've ever had and my husband who doesn't even like biscuits loved it. The gnocchi was also really good. The order was a little small but it was just enough to share with the fried chicken. We ended with a special Valentine's Day dessert that was fabulous. Highly recommend Lyonshare for dinner and drinks.

    I've probably dined at Lyonshare no less than a dozen times this year. I am smitten! I tell everyone I know about it. I recently had dinner and am really loving the new winter menu. The sea bass is perfectly prepared. My dining companion ordered it as well and remarked that she never eats the fish skin, but this is so delicious she had to! As always, the biscuits are my absolute favorite menu item. I can honestly say this is the greatest biscuit of my life, which is really saying something given that I'm from the South. I also love the curation and taste in music. It's not often that a restaurant gets both the food and the music so perfectly attuned to the time of day and service. Every detail is meticulously accounted for. It's a place where you are invited to linger, have another smartly crafted cocktail and settle into cozy conversation because everything about this restaurant is just so well done

    Fried half chicken and biscuit with slaw
    Kelly K.

    We came a on summer monday evening and got seated 20 minutes before the kitchen closes at 9pm. Our food surprisingly came only 10 minutes after our order was put in. The chicken was amazing, juicy on the inside crispy on the outside without the batter being too thick crusty or filling. It felt pan fried rather than dropped in a vat of oil. The biscuit was thick fluffy enormous and went well with the creamed honey butter. Everything paired well and the cole slaw helped cut through the richness of the other parts of the dish. The pierogis were mild in flavor compared the Chinese dumplings or pan fried gyoza. It was pillow savory and light. I cared more for the picked onions and onion remoulade they were sitting on, than the classic filling but it's a good pick if you're hungry and looking to fill up on something starchy. The best but not the last dish is the sea bass, two filets encircled with lightly dressed vegetables. I added pickled red onions to balance out the olives. The parsley tapenade is by the far the most delicious part. As essential as the sauce is for baked escargot. Well worth it! And finally, the cookie skillet dessert the size of the palm of my hand. Take it with traditional vanilla bean, chocolate or mint chip. An all American hot and cold treat like this never disappoints! The service was great and accommodating, our server was able to describe thoroughly and guide us gently into a decision. No pressure! Thanks Lyonshare! Youre making the Beacon restaurant scene better and better!

    There was a mix up with our parties reservation date, but the hostess and manager were very accommodating and kept our party updated as we waited at the bar. The bar is nicely lit, sleek and a definite style upgrade from the previous. Bar tenders were friendly and engaging. For dinner, I ordered the burger. It was tasty and served with french fries.

    First time in Beacon and was looking for a place to have dinner. We saw this place that had a cozy and romantic, yet casual atmosphere. We didn't have a reservation and they initially told us they had no tables available. Luckily, we ended up sitting at the bar. The bartenders were so lovely and welcoming. They were knowledgeable and made great recommendations. We shared the biscuits and pierogies as appetizers. The pierogies were delicious, but the biscuits stole the show. They were buttery, soft, and absolutely phenomenal. Best biscuits I've ever had. The pierogies came with a French onion puree and pickled onions. The combination was perfect, nothing was too overpowering. For our entrees we had the NY Strip and the lamb ragu. The steak was great, nice sear and great flavor. The lamb ragu was amazing. It came with a lemon ricotta that really balanced everything out. Pasta was cooked perfectly. And the lamb was tender and full of flavor without the gaminess that lamb can have. Overall our experience here was amazing. I'll be thinking about it for a whole. Definitely check it out!

    First time being on Main Street in Beacon, and I must say there is a good scene happening here…read more Plenty of options for food but we chose here. TVR is a restaurant/record store/hangout. We went around 5pm, and saw the sign "Seat Yourself & Order At The Bar". Ok... So I asked a bartender for 2 menus, and found a booth. We decided quickly, and I made my way to the bar. Others were ahead of me, so I patiently waited to order: Tripple Smash Burger, Honey Buffalo Salad, Purple Rain (2), Diet Coke. I paid at the bar, served the drinks and waited for our food. The music was 80's MTV Themed {Pat Benatar, Bon Jovi, Bruuuce, Billy Idol}. Jenga, Horrible Couple and Cards Against Humanity were on the tables to pass the time. Or flip through the many records available for purchase until the food arrives. The salad was large in size and very good. Been a while since I had a burger, and this filled the void. Fries were not that hot, but we ate them anyway. Afterwards, we went downstairs and played some old school arcade games and then headed out. Upon leaving we saw someone was having a birthday party, which was nice to see. I'm sure in the summer this place gets packed. They also have a selection of draught beer (The proper way to spell it). Good choice for food, although it wasn't cheap. Bill w/tip was $100. I think having a server on staff for all hours would be a good decision for TVR to make, in order to TCB !

    First time trying this place and if I'm ever in the area I'd definitely come back. The ambiance and…read moredecor are really hip and inviting. You can scan the vinyl for sale at the in store record shop, hit the arcade games and chill in the lounge/speakeasy downstairs, play board or card games at a table near the bar, and try the delicious crafted cocktails! Oh, there's alsoa food menu! We had to sit ourselves and order at the bar but the honey buffalo salad and burger were (surprisingly) some of the best bar meals I've had. I'll go anywhere to look at Bruce Springsteen's face and get buzzed off a martini called Purple Rain. Count me in girrrrl

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!

The Bee's Knees cocktail wasn't for me. It was way too sour. That said, I think that's more on me for ordering it than the drink itself since it's meant to have that flavor profile. The shrimp scampi was easily the best dish we ordered. So good. Make sure to dip the baguette into the buttery shrimp sauce. If you're sharing, I'd recommend ordering extra bread because you'll definitely want it. The garlic parmesan wings were excellent. We also tried the blackberry BBQ wings. I didn't really care for that flavor combination but I'm still glad I gave them a shot. Both flavors had big meaty wings that were cooked perfectly. The mac and cheese was really good. Definitely more of an elevated version with a lot going on. I enjoyed it but it was a little too fancy for the kiddo who prefers a simpler mac and cheese. The chicken tenders were very basic and the fries that came with them were pretty weak. We also ordered the garlic parmesan truffle fries which were much better than the regular fries, even if they weren't anything special. The lemonade was also too sour for my taste. We ended up adding sugar ourselves and after that it was much better. Overall, we had a good meal. The shrimp scampi and garlic parmesan wings were the clear standouts, service was friendly, and the atmosphere made for an enjoyable experience. I'd come back, but I'd definitely order differently next time.
