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.
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.
Enjoyed a really good lunch with family this week. We started with the spreads (feta, hummus, yogurt) appetizer and then our group had burgers/fries, chicken sandwich/fries and a steak dish/poutine - good portion size. To finish off the meal, we shared a slice of a very moist chocolate cake (to celebrate my birthday), delicious! We all loved the decor of the restaurant. The staff were all helpful. Would definitely pop in again when I am in the area. Thanks for a very good experience!
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.
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!
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.
I loveeeee the food here!! Good atmosphere too, and their portions are so nice!!! I had to take all my dishes home bc it was a lot of food which is great bc u are getting what u pay for plus it was delicious! The service took forever but we were at the bar and it was kinda busy on a weekend so I get it. Def will keep coming back here
Food was amazing. Got the Chicken Club and fries. The waiter was nice, and I liked the environment.
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.
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.
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
Good ambiance and menu. Unusually slow service, even on a weekday evening at the start of service that should take off several stars, but one chicken dish made up for the annoyance. *The entrees are on the pricier side for a tap house/brewery style restaurant, but worth the cost for the dishes I tried. The chicken/potato dumpling is stellar. The perfect combination of carrots and vegetables and truly a well thought out, elevated dish. *Flank steak dish with poutine was alright. Good for what it was. *Food took 40 minutes to come out, which is a long time when you didn't order appetizers. Waitress made eye contact and realized we weren't served, but didn't approach us to check-in intentionally because she could tell there was a delay. The delay would make sense if it weren't for the fact that we got in as soon as the restaurant opened, on a weekday. Anyway, the chicken potato dumpling dish is the saver of this review. Would come back for it. read more
There was a short wait to get seated but nothing unreasonable. Service throughout was friendly and the ambiance was great. Pricing was about what I expected for the area. 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. read more
Everything was excellent; the server was on time each time and very knowledgeable of the menu. The food was hot and came with a twist of the chef! Each item I enjoyed. There's an indoor and outdoor option we chose indoor and it was a perfect choice. Next time I'll try outside. Very Sunday afternoon vibes with a touch of family outing. Overall great spot I enjoyed it all! Thanks staff. 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

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. Just ordering more specific 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
