I recently had the pleasure of dining at Peekskill Public Bar and Grill, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. Nestled in the heart of Peekskill, this restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. Upon entering the establishment, I was immediately greeted by friendly and attentive staff members who made me feel welcomed. The interior of the restaurant exudes a modern yet cozy vibe, with its stylish decor, comfortable seating, and a lively bar area. The ambiance strikes a balance between being energetic and relaxed, making it suitable for a casual night out or a gathering with friends. The night I came to visit they had a public section that was lively and entertaining as well as a group night out amongst friends and family occurring on the other side of the establishment. They were playing great music and typical bar games of dart and cornhole. Now, let's talk about the food. The menu at Peekskill Public Bar and Grill is diverse, featuring a range of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, and main courses to cater to different tastes. I opted for their signature bleu burger, and I was blown away by the flavor and quality of the dish. The patty was juicy, perfectly cooked to my liking, and topped with fresh ingredients that added layers of taste and texture. The accompanying Caesar salad was crispy and seasoned just right. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring that I left the restaurant satisfied. The Buff-a-Que wings was a great starter meal. The wings were a blend of Buffalo and bbq sauces and had great texture and taste. The bar at Peekskill Public is worth mentioning as well. They offer an extensive selection of beers, wines, and cocktails, providing something for everyone. The bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly, creating a welcoming environment for both casual drinkers and connoisseurs. What impressed me most about this restaurant was the exceptional service. The staff members were attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and went out of their way to ensure that my dining experience was enjoyable. From taking orders promptly to offering recommendations and accommodating special requests, the service was top-notch. In terms of pricing, Peekskill Public Bar and Grill offers great value for the quality of food and service they provide. While it may not be the cheapest option in town, the reasonable prices are justified by the overall dining experience and the attention to detail in every aspect. Peekskill Public Bar and Grill is a fantastic dining establishment that excels in food quality, service, and ambiance. Whether you're looking for a great burger, a refreshing drink, or a lively evening out, this restaurant is worth a visit. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning soon to try more of their delectable offerings. Follow more of my video food reviews on TikTok at biglee52291 and on at _where_is_seth read more

This hole inn the wall buzzing local sports bar is pretty great. I'm doing my best to visit often. Samantha and Henry behind the bar are fun and friendly. Prices are good. Food is way above average for a sports bar. Great to have a spot to visit when I'm in the lower Hudson Valley. Ladies night on a weds. I'm not a lady but the wine pours are epic!! Don't stop!! read more

The burgers here are stellar -- tasty and always cooked to perfection. Service is with a smile and it feels genuine. The vibe is friendly and there's lots of TVs and dartboards and a pool table. The fish & chips and wings weren't quite at the level of the burger so look at the photo below and act accordingly! read more

Had the most amazing Friday night solo dinner. I was bored my daughter was going to a football game and I am never one to call ppl I know last minute so decided to take a walk on the wild side and treat myself to dinner and a drink. I'm so glad that I didn't talk myself out of trying this place. At walking everyone was all smiles especially the bartender who I wish I had gotten her name because her martini was one the best I have had in a long time. My server Olivia was so friendly and attentive. She recommended the burger which I passed on because I was in the mood for wings and so glad that's what I ordered. The old bay dry rub wings were cooked to perfection. I forgot to ask for extra crispy no need to panicked they were super crispy and juicy on the inside. My disco fries also were yummy and the gravy was so well seasoned I took some home. The outdoor patio is so beautiful and cozy. Inside is super clean and has an upscale dive bar decor. TV in the bathroom was different and a cute touch. I will definitely be back! read more

Good local spot. Food is pub food and pretty good. Big bar and pool table and seats. Fun place and affordable

PPK is a great spot to catch a game and a beer with friends. The food is sneakily great!

Stopped in here for dinner with the lodge crew and thankfully this place has ample space for maximum social distancing which is a relief. We had a fairly large group of about 8 (we all know each other tho and have been safe, dont worry.) All the food was amazing and they even had a beyond burger, score!! Tots are prime crispy and delish. Everyone else raved about their burgers, pulled pork, chicken etc Drinks were flowing and waitresses were attentive. Food took quite a bit to come out but then again we had a larger group than the norm lately. Prices are very affordable and for the quality of the bar food, its a win win! read more

Ohhhh this place!!! We went around 2:40 with a party of 10, including 6 kids. Lunch specials run till 3, so we made it in time. The service was excellent. The server wasn't annoyed with us. She was super attentive and gave great recommendations. I had the pasta special. It was ok. But the pizza was sooo good. I wish I would have gotten that instead. My husband had the fish and chips with a Guinness and he enjoyed that! Everyone in our party of 10 was happy. They also have games such as pool table, checkers, darts and like a mini curling game. It was a great place to come after a hike with our group. read more

Nice place to meet up with old friends and to make new friends as well! pool tables, shuffle boards, darts! What else could a guy want? Food of course, and it is very good.! service is great! Need some more young ladies! read more

It's been a while since I have been here, But I was looking forward to a great time and meal. They must have added more and more TV and added a subpar atmosphere. what I love about this place was the food and the way the staff made you feel welcome, like you were family. The food was good, not great like it use to be, but did it its job of filling me up. the staff now was not the warm and friendly type just all business the family vibe is gone. I don't know why the changing of all the original staff, but they need to bring them back and make this place what it was when it first opened. it went from cheers to where everyone knows your name to a run-in mill nothing special. A bar version of a 5-minute jiffy lube!! read more

Delicious! Awesome staff! Love this place! Food is incredible!!! This place is my favorite! We go twice a week! It never disappoints. The cook Jose is phenomenal. Always has some delicious specials going on. read more

Peekskill Public Bar & Grill - Chicken in a mushroom cream sauce! Delicious - Sports Bars Near Me - Peekskill, New York

After reading the reviews I had to try the Buffalo Wings, and I have to say, AMAZING!!! The Mozzarella sticks, amazing and the beer had a beautiful head to it and it was nice and cold. Service wise, the bartender was attentive, sweet, and over all a fantastic host for the day. The patio is beautiful, comfortable, and feels like a small private world behind the restaurant itself. I came during the day and it was a great place to eat, and even got some work done with some peace and silence. Inside is beautifully decorated and everything came out not only quickly but fresh and perfectly cooked. I'll no doubt be bringing some friends to this hidden gem in the future. read more

Went twice. The first time was a solid experience even though all I did was sit at the bar and have a couple of beers (might have been while masks were still required). The second time the doors were locked although it was "normal business hours". So I don't know what the deal is, but I hope it was just temporary! read more

Wings totally on point. Chicken Scap is banging too . Great Vibes , Nice People , and Amazing lighting. Lots of different people here , and everyone's smiling. If you get a chance ask them to write a recommendation at the bar. Totally Hysterical ;) a nice trip from reality though. Service is great . Samantha is hysterical too ;) read more

Today really sent me over the edge with joke of a place, I've given it multiple chance and today while in with my boyfriend for lunch I went to the bathroom and there was NO RUNNING WATER... how are the cooks and staff washing their hands??? The newer owner "Pauly" takes half the bartenders tips claiming he's "working" with them (actually just playing pool in the other room) When confronted for it because, hello, that is illegal he said "fuck the law i own this bar" He also claims he's owned many bars before- makes sense why they've all failed. This place could be a gold mine. I've seen the best bartenders come and go. They really just need to ditch this screwball Pauly read more

Great wings and a good place to go for a football game! Good beer and specials as well. Was able to sit at the bar and the bartender was very quick and responsive but also was willing to chat. read more

We were looking for a place for lunch on our way back from peach picking and decided to give this place a try based on the reviews. And we were glad did. From the time we walked in we were greeted by a very pleasant hostess/waitress. Since it was a nice day we sat outside and it was a private oasis. We each had a burger and they were delicious. Even the sweet potato fries and onion rings were very tasty. Would definitely go back. read more

Good cheap lunch$10. Friendly atmosphere ,also has outdoor dining.Good neighborhood bar & grill

I have been going here for a few months and have to say it has to be the best around here in Peekskill. The wings alone will fill you up. You can tell there not prepared early and dry like most places. There burger is fresh and more the you can handle there so big and full of flavor. The staff is great and the owner Eric will always great you with a smile. The have a nice menu and a nice assortment of beers also. This place is a must try and you'll be back. read more

The food is super good! Chicken wings are perfect. It's a good place to get a drink and watch a game. The atmosphere is chill and the staff is very friendly and always wearing their masks read more

Great Relaxing Pub We enjoyed a bacon cheeseburger and Caesar chicken wrap, no beverages (this time). Burger cooked perfectly, not a frozen patty but a beefy burger on a delicious bun. Caesar was dressed with just enough dressing and chicken was crispy not rubbery grilled. Really enjoyed the fries as they were not preseasoned or over salted My elderly mother and I had conversation without having to raise our voice. There was music on but not loud, many TVs for sports, limited but delicious menu and very reasonable prices Will definitely return soon Would recommend!! read more

Ive come here a few times to play darts and have a bite to eat, food is sub par and so is the service. Management also doesn't know how to treat its customers or employees, will not be returning and will not recommend read more

After going on a hike in Harriman State Park we decided to yelp some thing and stop here for a juicy burger need I say the burger was delicious everyone who was in my party said that the food was very good the bartender was also pleasant I enjoyed the ambience and the fact that there was a pool table and a dartboard will definitely be returning when I am in the area! read more

Absolutely 5 stars , I stopped in here with a friend his family knew previous owners. I couldn't have enjoyed myself more! The nicest staff, very comfortable atmosphere, and the food is perfect! I wish I could give 10 stars! read more

While the food has always been good here it's the service that will prevent me from coming back. It seems no one ever knows what they're doing and are more interested in socializing then doing their jobs and attending to customers. read more

My Wife and I went to the location based on "YELP REVIEWS" for dinner, upon initial entry into the spot we were pleasantly surprised by the decor. We were eventually greeted by the bar tender who took the time to greet us before kindly serving our bevarages, and answer several questions my wife had concerning the menu. We started with a medium heat batch of wings, which we both believe were "THE" best wings we have EVER had in the area, definitely beating out the Peekskill Brewery hands down. My wife finished with a "Black & Blue Burger", & I had a "Chipotle Chicken Sandwich with onion rings"...BOTH extremely savory, and very filling. We will certainly revisit, and refer friends to this hidden gem . read more

I am very picky about the places I eat, but this place had Great ambiance, good food and Liquor. Definitely recommend.

Great service at this place, they also have the NFL package, and the wings are fantastic!

Peekskill Public hit the spot! We had lunch, and the shrimp po-boy was delicious! The fried wontons will definitely be on my plate again! We sampled the garlic parm chicken wings and they also were a hit! I can't wait for football season to hang out at Peekskill Public and watch the game. Peekskill needs a family friendly, yet adult bar type of place! Love the atmosphere and the food, well done John Watson! read more

Came in to grab a few drinks and catch the soccer game. Great space and friendly bartender. Solid beer selection for both draft and bottles/cans. Ordered garlic parmesan fries as a snack and thought they were delicious. Will definitely be back when I am in the area. read more

I just ordered a takeout burger and fries tonight from this neighborhood place. Very good burger, well-seasoned, was more a medium than the medium rare I ordered but that's okay, probably healthier. I would give it 5 stars when it achieves 100% medium rare perfection, instead of just 90%. Fries were good too. I look forward to trying other sandwiches and salads too. Really it's a drink craft beer, grab a burger, chat with a friend or watch a game kind of place. Everything looks upgraded too from the way it was before. Hope it stays. read more

So i was in the bar the other day and unfortunately there was a water main break that effected many businesses on the street where PPK is located. Thankfully the bar was well prepared for this event and had plenty of bottled water for drinking and hand washing. An event that was completely out of their control they rose to the occasion and didn't miss a step!! Thank you PPK for a great night as usual!! Btw.... Great Karaoke as well!!! read more

Did the trick. We had just hiked at Breakneck and wanted someplace not too crowded to stop for a bite on our way back to the city. Basic pub food but decent and portions were huge. Staff was very pleasant. Nice, lighted porch out back for those like us who are still only comfortable eating outside, although you do just overlook the neighbors driveway but, bonus, those neighbors have chickens you can watch run around. read more

We live just a block and a half from here and saw it while shopping at La Marqueta. The place is basically a sports bar with not only tvs but different games to play. The co owner was very helpful with ordering and gave us some of the "origin story" behind the restaurant. I had the beyond meat burger (for the first time) and it was very good. It had the texture and appearance of real beef and tasted like beef. My wife had the roast beef sandwich which was also good. The french fries were exceptional. I was encouraged to hear from the co owner that plans are in the works for a bottomless brunch, my favorite meal in the City. It is great to have a good restaurant within walking distance. read more

Went here on Friday night for a quick dinner and some drinks. The menu is a little limited, but delicious nonetheless. I like the way the restaurant area is separated from the bar area, so you can actually hear the person you're with. Sat at the bar after dinner and had a few drinks. The bartender (Alexis) was very attentive, engaging and kept us laughing the whole time. A great addition to an already excellent restaurant/bar. read more

I could eat two burgers in one sitting, they are so good, great staff, comfortable seating, five stars every day of the week!

Totally renovated the place- comfortable at the bar, outdoor tables, lots of indoor seating, spacious and comfortable for sports on the tube, darts and bowling games. Good craft beers, we split a turkey club, top notch and huge, $12! Thanks for all your efforts. read more
