    Not my first time here, not my last time here, and looking forward to my next trip! When in the area I will make any and all excuses to come to Melzingah Tap House! There are many things on the menu that all look really delicious - ahi tuna nachos, the wings and spicy tuna rice all pique my interest. However, we went with the Pappardelle Con Gli Scampi and Salmon. These mains were very delicious! Salmon was perfectly cooked and the sauce with the shrimp was a tasty garlicky scampi. Our service was great and I recommend trying to get a table with a view. They've figured how busy they get and have really competent service staff. They're very knowledgeable of the menu and drinks, and were great at checking in. I'm glad we had a reservation as this place does get quite busy during tourist season and on weekends.

    Short rib French onion soup, pulled pork sandwich, side salads

    Cute little neighborhood gastropub! We loved the pulled pork sandwich and mussels. It's slightly elevated bar food but it was yummy! The short rib French onion soup was unique and I recommend trying it or splitting it (the taste gets a bit much after a few bites). Service was solid. Ambiance was OK. Decor was cute. They did miss some ingredients in our mussels appetizer and it took awhile to get our food (even though it was not busy). I would recommend giving it a try!

    Not your typical tap house! Not only do they have a wide variety of beers (wine and cocktails too!) to choose from, but the food is phenomenal. Parking is tight so prepare for street parking and a short walk during peak hours. The inside is cozy and they have a patio out back for nice weather days. The staff is always friendly here and they're part of the reason I always come in when I'm in town! I've tried a couple of things off their menu and and have yet to be disappointed. I appreciate that they are always changing the menu too and have seasonal specials.

    Chicken Club with House-cut Fries

    Melzingah Tap House is an awesome place to get lunch and a beer (or three). The service was great. They gave an extensive selection of draft beer. The chicken club was very tasty, as were the house cut fries. Lots of exposed brick throughout the restaurant, giving it a very cool interior.

    I've been to this place twice. It has an outdoor seating area as well. There is a parking lot but it's quite small and will get packed quickly. As for the food, everything is really good! The service was pretty quick as well. I like coming here and I would definitely return and try other menu items. We tried the burgers on this visit, and they were delicious! The fries are also really good. My only complaint is that the ketchup is brought out in a small serving cup, so we did have to keep asking for additional ketchup.

    Pretzel Bites and Cheese
    Adam M.

    This is a nice spot on Main Street. We had a reservation, and good thing we did because it was packed. The service, however, didn't make you think it was a full house. They were very attentive and kind. The place has a nice vibe to it, the cute lights give it a nice intimate feel. The food is very good. Certainly a good spot to grab a bite and drink!

    Chicken Club with Fries

    Food was amazing. Got the Chicken Club and fries. The waiter was nice, and I liked the environment.

    Chicken + Dumplings -  crispy skin airline chicken breast, house potato dumplings, french green beans, baby carrots, peas, pan jus

    Melzingah Tap House is a cute date night spot in Beacon - good bites and drinks all around. Service was friendly and food was decent. You definitely pay New York City prices here. Cocktails were okay but could have used a bit more alcohol. For an appetizer we got the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice and it was massive! It comes with four pieces and they could have cut down the rice part a bit. The Chicken + Dumplings were very good - very homey, comforting taste. On the specials was the Lamb Ragu Garganelli - this was a hearty ragu that tasted great! Overall a solid spot for dinner in Beacon.

    Always a crowd pleaser. Whether I'm looking to entertain visitors or to do happy hour/dinner, melzingah is always a winner. There's plenty of cocktails (zero proof options too), beer and wine options and the food never disappoints. The pretzel bites, macaroni + cheese and wings are my favorite go-to appetizers. Reservations recommended. It gets busy, especially given the prime location to Beacon's waterfalls. If you can snag a seat at the bar, that's a great spot to sit and dine. They also have outdoor covered dinning which is great for all seasons.

    BLT w/ truffle fries
    Jason M.

    I found myself at Melzingah Tap House with one of my college friends for lunch and to catch up. We hadn't seen each other in years and this seemed like a great place to reunite and grab a bite. That being said, we booked an afternoon slot and made our way. The last time I was in Beacon was roughly 10 years ago, and wow it has changed a lot - so many cute shops and eateries along the main strip. I heard property prices have soared up here and I totally believe it. Melzingah definitely fits well into this - as the aesthetics fit the classic design of the area while still having a contemporary feel. The dining room is moderately sized with that aesthetic you find in most modern eateries that popped up in the 2010s. The menu is American fare - mostly apps, salads, and sandwiches with some mains. Since they are a tap house, they have a good variety of beer as well as some cocktails. I decided to start with one of their cocktails which was quite good - the temperatures were reaching 60 outside so I was manifesting Spring and got one of their lighter choices. I was feeling a sandwich so I went with that for my actual lunch - the BLT was speaking to me firstly because it's a BLT, but secondly because they used arugula for the L, added an aioli, and served it on a baguette. The sandwich was really tasty - the helping of bacon was generous but not overly salty and the baguette was substantial enough to hold the sandwich together without being too hard. The sandwich came with fries as a standard but I decided to get truffle fries instead - I'm not sure where the truffle was in these because it just looked like they were topped with grated cheese? Unless the truffle was in the cheese? I'm not sure, I couldn't taste any truffle. Service was good, food came out at a good pace and all the staff were friendly. Overall, I had a great experience at Melzingah - the food was great, as was the service and the company. I wouldn't hesitate to return the next time I find myself up in Beacon.

    Bass, peanut noodles with chicken, stone fruit and burrata
    Cherie R.

    Not what you'd expect from a normal tap house! Yes they had a great selection of beers and food, but they also had some extra items - like peanut noodles salad and stone fruit and burrata. We LOVED both dishes. The peanut noodle salad was perfect since it was cold and we were eating outside. Loved the flavors, the different types of mushrooms and edamame were yummy. Chicken was grilled perfectly. We sat out on the patio, which is probably nice on a cooler day, but it was VERY hot. I also got eaten alive by bugs. Overall it was yummy food but next time I'd probably want to sit inside lol

    Drinks!
    Adam R.

    What a lovely place to stop for lunch in Beacon NY. Fabulous bar, beer and food scene in this little eatery off Main St. The cocktails are excellent, beer selection impressive and some good food to match. We had the hummus and pita with our drinks. We then shared the watermelon salad with salmon. Great flavors and very satisfying lunch on our road trip in the NY Hudson Valley. Service was good, chill place.

The glasses, the backsplash, art, they all lean into the brand. We were served quickly, and while there are not flights, the beertender offered us to taste test first. Amanda landed on the west coast IPA, and I chose the Screwdriver, a fruited sour in 10 oz pours, both were tasty. We added guacamole and chips which came out quick was house made. Fans outside on hot days. Also wheelchair accessible. Would we come back, questionable only because we know the brand from cans at home and there are so many great places nearby. You should stop to have some beer!

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!
