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. read more

Visited Melzingah which was the original Native American name for Beacon. The sourdough cinnamon roll was amazing. The rest of the food was nothing spectacular. I had chili and it was too salty. My mom had a quinoa bowl and it was just fine The service was incredibly slow. I don't know of it was an off day but i'd try it one more time. The restaurant is cute with a nice colorful painting inside. Seems like they play live music in there sometimes. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Stopped by for brunch this afternoon during my day trip to beacon and can honestly say this place has such a lovely vibe. From the industrial decor, to the solid menu featuring breakfast boards and brunch staples like French toast and frittata - you'll leave here feeling full and ready to explore the town. Ordered a shareable appetizer, the avocado toast board and paired it with the steak and eggs as my main. The avocado toast was good but not great. The steak and eggs hit the mark for me. It came with tomato-y home fries and arugula salad that really brought the whole dish to life. The service is super friendly and down to earth as well. Could see myself coming back here next time I'm in the area. read more

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. read more

We've been to Melzingah a number of times and always enjoy it. Their dining room is cozy but lively. It can be pretty loud when it's busy (which is often), but they have a good sized covered and heated outdoor tent that's quieter if the noise level will bother you. We always end up ordering something different than the last time we were there, but I've really enjoyed their specials and fried chicken sandwich in the past. This time I got pasta which was great. The pasta was cooked perfectly. My husband got the massive bone in pork schnitzel which was fabulous. Crispy and juicy and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommended. Service is always excellent as well, whether you're inside or out. The space is quite small with quite a few high top seats, so if you have any mobility concerns it may be a little challenging. The outdoor area is probably easier. There is also only one van accessible parking spot as it's a small parking lot. read more

Came here on a Monday. Got sat right away inside. If you want to plan to sit in the outside area, call ahead and rsvp. Had some bar bites that were both delicious and filling. Can never go wrong with the buffalo wings! Cooked perfect. The pretzel bite were so good with the cheese dip. Had lunch Maine beer a 7% IPA which paired well. The hostess was super nice. She almost sold me on the Twix cheesecake but I was super full. Next time! read more

Shout out to Laura who help set up reservations for my group and was super responsive to all of my groups questions and needs. My group and I had major issues getting there which caused us to be extremely late for our scheduled reservation. The staff was very accommodating and still made our party feel welcomed. When it comes to food since we were a large party we had the prix fixe brunch. The menu had a variety of options when we compared it to other prix fixe options in the area. I had the French toast which was fluffy with a nice crisp to it. Everyone in the group looooved the Mac and cheese. I definitely will go again when I am in the area so I can try their regular menu that seems to have a lot of yummy options! I definitely recommend this place if you need to host a gathering of any sort. read more

Holy Mac!!!!! This place is beyond delicious. It has so many rare and fun options. We ordered 3 items and each item was a 10/10. Pear salad with chicken, crispy rice spicy tuna and the chicken skin dumplings. Every single item HIT. I've never experienced such good flavoring in a full meal and the chicken dumplings is super unique. The service was great and our server was very nice and attentive. Highly recommend for dinner when you come to beacon! Ambiance feels like a tap room but nice and spacious for dinner tables! LOVE- come to BK! So impressed. read more

They were busy on a Tuesday evening. Filled to the Brim The ambience was comfortable. Not too loud for a toddler if you have one. She really enjoyed it. We called in for a reservation as we were driving in as we had a toddler with us. We were accommodated immediately. Once we reached, we were seated immediately, and the toddler was given a high chair. They have a small parking lot behind the restaurant. And managed to snag a parking lot there Drinks were ordered and came out pretty quickly. I tried their signature cocktails lavender lust - the drink was a touch heavy on lavender syrup. We did order a bottle of seltzer, and so the bubbles made it better. I also tried their milk stout, which was not bad. But it's not something I'd order again. This is a good place for family gatherings. They do have a variety of seating available. We were seated at a table. For food, the guys ordered skirt steaks medium rare. It came out a touch too rare, barely warm in the middle, and they ate it anyway. And comments from my husband were they were also a touch heavy on garlic and salt. So if you like them lightly salted, please let them know in advance Our brussel sprouts were delicious, and so was our red curry. Brussel sprouts were crispy outside and just tender In the middle. It was not overly spiced and was not spicy at all, almost like a lightly spiced coconut broth. Our little toddler enjoyed the curry broth and wanted more. It was a wonderful experience. Our sever was very nice. I didn't get her name, but she was very nice and always checking on us read more

Enjoyed a nice dinner here with my wife and friends. Cute brewery and restaurant with a lovely outdoor section. Our waitress mayhave been over tasked but it caused her to be slow to care for tables. I had the skirts steak ordered medium rare and so did my friend. My wife and friends wife shared the warm Brussel sprout salad and the chicken curry. The steak had ALOT OF SALT AND GARLIC, and was very undercooked as well. My wife and friends wife enjoyed their dishes without complaint. One note. Online booking said no tables available but I called and got a table upon arrival. As well 3 other tables were vacant. So don't always believe online booking. Overall I would go back.

A friend a I came her in the middle of the day in the middle of the week while waiting for a car inspection to finish. We had SUCH a blast. We sat in the back house part off the parking lot, I chose a spot directly in the sun and was so happy. I sat in the sun in on a clean wooden bench next to potted plants and just ate it up. We got drinks that I LOVED but have completely forgotten the name, but it was a seasonal St German bubbly one with a floral garnish. We split a side of fries (crispy, salty, tasty) with sides of ketchup and aioli, and just had a great time. The waiter knew perfect timing, he was nowhere around while we were yapping but popped up right when we needed him. read more

Came here for a late lunch with a friend. This place is super cute! We were seated right away, but the place seemed a little busy for a Wednesday afternoon! I took a glance at the cocktail menu but since I was going to be driving a little bit later I decided to stick with water. We both ended up ordering the crispy chicken sandwich, but she had the side of fries and I ordered a side salad. The chicken was definitely crispy and had a blue cheese sauce on it. Tried a few of the fries (loaded with parm!) and they were delicious. So glad we chose this spot! Will definitely be returning for drinks! read more

Came here with a group of friends, we made reservations to ensure a table. Because otherwise there can be long wait times. I ordered the kale Cesar salad with chicken, now the flavor of it was really good I didn't however like that the kale still had big chunks of the stem. Which isn't the biggest deal but it would've been more enjoyable for me to have had the kale prepared better. It's not a huge restaurant but a good size, our waiter was attentive and gave good service start to finish. Lighting is a bit on the darker side but they do have windows which let in a good amount of light! I wouldn't be opposed to coming again but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go. read more

Great find in Beacon! We were excited to dig into some good gastropub food after a disappointing experience at the Vinyl Room. Personally, I was ready to eat a live cow by this point, but our server suggested the burger instead which was a good compromise. Seating was a little tight and since we hadn't reserved a table beforehand, they tried to seat us as this little overflow table by the bathroom and kitchen which they were using to unload deliveries and fold napkins. Luckily there were empty seats at the bar which we were able to move to instead. Our food and drinks were pretty solid. The burger is pretty darn flavorful and decadent - my only qualm was they made it medium-well instead of medium-rare - and we also got a salad, Brussels sprouts, and a few beers to wash it down. Also the smoky old fashioned (smoked with real wood and a blow torch!) seems to be a big hit. Service was not bad considering how many people were there on a weekend evening, all the food came within 20 minutes. Prices are a little on the high side, ($21 burger, $24 chicken sandwich, about $10 per beer - inflation sucks!), but overall it's worth it! read more

If you know me on this platform, you know I don't drink beer because I despise the taste. But, where there's food and cocktails, I'm in. From Stout to Lagers, Amber ales and more, Melzingah on Main St in Beacon, NY has a craft beer menu showcasing mostly(?) Northeast beers and some from Chicago, Cincinnati, etc. This is my husband's type of place and was all over it. Melzingah was the perfect spot after wrapping up with an errand north of here in Woodstock. This met hubs' love for craft beer and my love for a great cocktail menu that not only sounds good on paper, but (hopefully) tastes great as well. Outdoor dining wasn't part of our plan- especially since we came here on a whim and didn't know they required a rsvn- so we were led outside to their patio. Regardless of the chilly weather on a Sunday in June, my husband and I enjoyed the warm and cozy al fresco vibe these folks are pulling off with the heated upright lamps (they did the job!), lots of picnic bench tables and some plants and flowers around. Our server was our go-to guy for popular dishes, beer for hubs and cocktails for me. My 'Shortcake' cocktail sounded great on paper but it tasted just like it's called and didn't make my jaw drop. Hubs enjoy all 3 of his different types of beer. Except, when you're dining outside, beer is served in plastic cups¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Hubs was ticked off by this and didn't enjoy the whole experience whatsoever because he was expecting each of his beers to be poured in a specific glass to bring out the flavors in each of his selection. Food ranked way better in my opinion. Melzingah's popular 'Pretzel Bites' (more like rods) were incredible- but so was our spread Trio of Whipped Feta, Lemony Hummus and Tzatziki. My Crispy Red Snapper was fantastic and hubs enjoyed his 1/2 chicken leg+thigh dish. Service was nice and so was the Indie music in the background. I can't talk about the beer- but I can mention- where there's sensational food, people will come. read more

On our way back from the city, we stopped in Beacon after taking the train before our drive back to Albany. The location across from the falls is beautiful. Beacon has a great Main Street with good food and drink. This place should be the first stop on your tour. The building is rustic and industrial. Our bartender, Victoria, was very good. Constantly checking on us and thoroughly courteous. We ordered an American Pale Ale and a Sour for beers. Food was Delicious with a capital D! Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts and Mussels with Sausage from the Appetizer menu. Both were so good. We asked for more baguette to soak up that amazing mussels broth. So GOOD! Would we come back? Hell yeah! When we head to the city, this is a must stop! read more
