It's a very cute restaurant located right next to the theater in downtown. The menu is overall pretty simple, but I think they do classic American food pretty well. I really enjoyed the shrimp patty burger I got last time, which was a lot heftier than I expected! The meal probably won't be revolutionary, but a very solid spot for the area and very convenient if you're watching a movie before/after. Food came out relatively quick! We got lucky both times without a reservation, but it can get pretty busy.

We probably didn't need a reservation for 11am since that's when they and a lot of shops on Main Street open. There's a decent amount of seating inside, the restaurant wraps around like a U shaped layout and has two bathrooms. Our hostess and server were very nice. We ended up sharing: - Ricotta Toast - 5/5 beautiful presentation. Would def get the full size toast since the half size isn't filling, even for one person - Penicillin - 4/5 hit the spot - Crispy Potato Bowl - 3/5 something was missing for me in this bowl, I think maybe including avocado or ketchup on the side would have helped since the flavor was a bit bland IMHO I would def come back for dinner and give that a try! There's also a long bar area which looks great for evening drinks.

Cool Place, Tasty Cocktails, But Watch the Pricing!…read more Liquid Fables in Beacon is a cool spot with a great atmosphere and tasty cocktails. Unfortunately, the tasting experience left a bad taste Charging $12 for a 6 oz. tasting when a full can sells for $5.50 already feels steep. But then offering ice, which takes up a significant portion of that already small pour, makes it feel like a bit of a gotcha. I understand businesses need to make money, but when you're paying for a tasting, you expect to actually taste the product--not have a good portion of your serving taken up by ice. It left me feeling like the pricing was designed to capitalize on tourists passing through town rather than provide a great customer experience.

I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately its more of a place you go for the ambiance…read morethan the food. As much as id love to say at least the drinks were good... they werent. We came here from Long Island after a nature walk at Little Stony Point. It was supposed to be our cute date night dinner spot. Dont get me wrong, its cute. We sat in the lounge with the fire place and grabbed some cocktails before being seated. Drinks: We ordered the pumpkin martini and the wet your whistle. The pumpkin martini was horrible and very artificial tasting.. If it wasnt for my fear of confrontation I would have sent it back. I did like the wet your whistle as it reminds me of an old fashioned with walnut bitters. We also ordered figgy with it which tastes like a very watered down Manhattan with a fig floating on top.. I had to give the rest to my partner It was horrible as well. Food: Appetizers: Potato coquette: probably the best out of the 3. Reminded me of a muted jalapeno popper. Nice and crispy Duck confit angolotti: .. no words. This tasted like an undercooked frozen ravioli. It was hard, flavorless and definitely with not a hint of duck Tuna tartare: I am an avid tuna tartare eater and this wasnt it. They put unseasoned tartare on top of a deep fried rice paper roll and charged $23. I know the rice paper roll because I use this at home and often deep fry them as a quick chip. Its thin and flimsy and crumbles under the tartare. The dish was so bland that the seaweed and avocado it came with overtook the dish. Mains: st louis smoked ribs: The flavors are there and I did like the macaroni and cheese it came with. But for $37 the portion was tiny and the price did not reflect the quality. The ribs were dry... Filet mignon: For $58 you get a VERY lemongrass forward otherwise flavorless steak. I am VERY salt sensitive and dont cook with a lot of salt so for me to say this dish was very bland and needed salt says a lot. The potato gratin also tasted like someone put together some potatos and poured heavy cream on it and called it a day. Not a speck of seasoning to be found Dessert: I was so bummed with the dinner and drinks that I was hoping dessert would redeem it... it didnt Chocolate tarte: advertised as chocolate mousse in a tarte came out pretty but tasted more like someone squeezed instant watered down gritty chocolate pudding into a pre made tarte shell.. so disappointing when youre expecting a smooth and creamy mousse Cheesecake: I only had one bite but my partner said he liked it. Service: pretty standard. We asked the waiter for his opinions on some dishes but his responses were generic and as if he wasnt reallya familiar with the menu. Nevertheless he was fine. Overall I wouldnt recommend this restaurant. A lot of my decision stems from the fact that the price never reflected the quality of the food. If the prices were cheaoer I would say it was reasonable but to overcharge for less than satisfactory cocktails and food is absurd. I feel like they feel justified in charging these prices because its in a hotel and the ambiance is nice. Such a shame we spent $300 after tip for this meal.

Friendly waitress answered our menu questions and took our order quickly. We had the bar pretzel, grilled chicken sandwich, the mushroom burger and Chocolate Chip Lava cake. Both exceeded our expectations. Chicken sandwich had two juicy, seasoned pieces of chicken with toppings. Salad was fresh and house dressing was great. The mushroom burger was juicy and flavorful. The lava cookie cake lacked the lava typically expected but was nonetheless delicious, definitely would order again. There were two seating areas and a large bar that accommodated everyone well. Noise level was good, restroom was spacious and clean. Definitely going back when I'm town!!!!

She sold us on the brownie cheesecake for dessert, but the three of us couldn't finish it even though it was delicious. We were so full! Overall, I enjoyed this and look forward to returning.

Post lunch Labor Day 2026 outside city escape where my party of six continued our Beacon, NY…read moreadventure. We all decided to be a child again with arcade video games. I reminisce arcade video games were always localized at shopping malls. Happy Valley Arcade Bar contains many games and snacks as well as alcohol and non-alcohol drinks are available. There is a coin change machine which was not working. This arcade video game business does contain a bathroom facility. It does provide a temporary mental detox or mental phlegmatic disposition from life's stressors in a casual relaxed atmosphere without judgment and without pressure of looming deadline for quota. There is also a small photo booth which can only fit two people. It was impossible to cramp six adults in this miniscule booth. There is an outdoor patio for seating. I hoped to see Grand Theft Auto, but to no avail. Arcade cabinet games are: Pac-Man 1980 I played for $0.25 and lost at the first round. Donkey Kong 1981 No comment. I did not play. The Simpsons 1991 No comment. I did not play. This depicts violence as Maggie is kidnapped because a large stolen diamond, inadvertently, landed in her mouth during a melee and she begins sucking on it like a pacifier. The rest of the Simpsons family gives a violent chase in pursuit for retrieving Maggie. Mortal Kombat II 1993 No comment. I did not play. Street Fighter II 1993 No comment. I did not play. KungFu Kickball I was on the red team to punch, kick and headbutt a ball into the opponent's bell and won against a good longtime male friend who was on the blue team. The final score 3-2. I feel like Danielle de Barbarac who slaughtered her longtime childhood male friend, Gustave in mud fights. "Boy or girl, I can still whip you!" Danielle de Barbarac in "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" 1998 film. Because the capable woman is never far away as I am right here! Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2002 Wow! This dancing video game reminds me of the movie "The Kissing Booth" which appears exactly as is. Pinball Oh, my inner child surfaces! No comment. I did not play. Pinball games are very classic and simple as the objective are all the same with a carbon steel or chrome steel ball with flippers. It is a game of chance. I would play pinball at outdoor fairs or festivals while eating funnel cake with strawberries. I remember playing Initial D Arcade Stage: Cycraft Edition 2003 where the seat drastically shifted, leaned, and jerked violently sideways to perfectly match the mountain-pass touge drifting mechanics of the motion-simulator racing game. I remember I jackknifed a vehicle! I lost this five minute racing game with my then boyfriend. Disappointedly, this video game cabinet is not available at Happy Valley Arcade Bar.

As a bonus, the bar tenders were super knowledgeable on the local beer scene. I really enjoyed hearing some of their stories on how certain breweries ended up on tap at Draught Industries. Hoping to be back again this summer/fall.

Beacon is a destination town for beer lovers. Between Industrial Arts (which brews some of my…read moreall-time favorite beers), Hudson Valley Brewery, Two Way, and a handful of others, you could spend a whole weekend here just brewery hopping. Draught Industries fits right into that scene. It's a spot run by people who clearly care about craft beer, with a long, rotating tap list and a laid-back, slightly quirky vibe. But what surprised me most was the food. I started with the pulled pork sandwich with ghost pepper aioli. The pork was tender and smoky, and the aioli brought real heat without drowning out the meat. If you like spice, get it. The real reason I'll be back, though, is the wild boar tacos. I love wild boar, and you almost never see it on a menu, so I ordered it the second I saw it. They come topped with guacamole, pineapple pico de gallo, and habanero peppers. The richness of the boar, the creamy guac, and the sweet pineapple against the habanero heat all worked together perfectly. Easily some of the best tacos I've had in the Hudson Valley. Great beer, bold food, and a menu willing to take chances. If you're doing a Beacon brewery crawl, make Draught Industries a stop. And come hungry.
