Library Lounge at Skytop Lodge feels like stepping back in time in the best possible way…read more From the moment you walk in, everything slows down. Dim lighting, big comfortable leather chairs, bookshelves lining the walls, a fully stocked bar, and historic photos throughout the space create a classic lodge vibe that feels timeless without being stuffy. It is cozy, polished, and incredibly relaxing. The staff is knowledgeable and clearly takes pride in what they serve. The craft cocktails are well made and thoughtful, and if you prefer beer, there are solid options there too. As a bourbon lover, I especially enjoyed their private barrel pick served neat, a real treat and easily a standout pour. This is a perfect pre-dinner or post-evening stop, we have done both, and it works beautifully either way. Dress is slightly casual but leans upscale, and while pricing is a bit higher than average, it feels completely worth it for the setting, quality, and experience. We sank into the chairs, talked story with friends, and lost track of time, which really says it all. If you are anywhere near Skytop Lodge, make sure this is on your list. Plan extra time, you will want to linger.

But my husband loves the bacon and orders it all the time so it's not like it's bad... just not for me. April makes the best drinks! And my favorite there is the manhattan.

10/10 experience wish I could give this place more stars!…read more Such a cool vibe. Had the fire going and good music on. They have cozy couches or a bar to sit at. The food is all wood fired so the menu is quite small. But everything we tasted packed a punch! Favorites were the skirt steak and ginger pork. We also tried the Cuban corn, trout, and Mac n cheese.

I asked for my favorite cocktail, an espresso martini, but unfortunately they don't make them, so I was definitely a little disappointed. Luckily, my second favorite is a lemon drop martini, and I also had a Cosmo! Hubby had a margarita and a beer. They have a smaller food menu. Nothing really called to us for a full meal, but we decided to share the crackers and pimento cheese, which was perfect for having something to snack on while we enjoyed our drinks. A few of the staff members were really friendly and talkative with us, which made us feel welcoming. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this as a spot to grab some cocktails, settle in, and catch a vibe for the night. It was a fun little date-night find in the Catskills!

I love coming here!…read more It's super laid back and there are special nights such as Jazz Nights. The drinks are average priced for Oneonta bars but you don't need to expect anyone grinding on you here! There's 2 pool tables in the back and a dart board as well. The entrance to the bathroom is tiny, but you'll make do. The crowd here and the workers are all pretty laid back. It is great that this bar supports many student bands and allows them to play here. Cover charge some days ranging from $1-$5.

The best bar in Woodstock…read more I wish I could be a first time patron at small talk again, to relive the excitement I felt when I realized this would be my new favorite bar. I moved from Chicago and was looking for a new place to go get drinks after work. Tried many places until someone mentioned small talk to me. I tried the last word cocktail and it's been my go-to every single time I visit. We have tried the ciders, the flights, the food, cocktails and even asked for off-menu suggestions for shots and drinks and these mixologists get it right every single time. It doesn't matter who's behind that bar, is an all star crew, everyone's so nice, knowledgeable and quick. Shoutout to all of you. The place can get packed, but people move fast, with some patience you will be seated within 30 minutes. The lights are dimmed for more intimacy and with some luck you can go upstairs and see an art exposition on your way to the bathroom. If you want a place to decompress, hang out with friends, meet interesting people and make great memories, just become a regular at small talk :)

This was everything you could possibly want in a cozy fireside, fine-dining private room…read moreexperience, with a creative tasting menu executed beautifully. Although it's been nearly a year since our visit, it was a focal point of our romantic birthday weekend in the Catskills that also included stops at their sister properties (Neversink for the spa, Arnold House for the stay). The drinks were exceptional but the ambiance of the fireplace might have been even more intoxicating. Culinary director Eric Leveillee previously worked under James Beard winner Greg Vernick (Vernick Food and Drink/Vernick Fish, Philly) and the restaurant itself was a 2024 James Beard semi-finalist for Outstanding Restaurant, nationally. At just over $200 per person for the tasting menu, we added the wine pairing as well and felt like the combination of service and quality was well worth it. Each course came with a passionate description behind the inspiration and sustainability of their farm-to-table take on fine dining. Opening with a stunning arrangement of golden beets, Mandarin supremes and marigold petals and progressing to dishes with mussel caramel, coal baked pears, parsnips, sweetbreads and persimmon ice cream, they had our taste buds guessing and pleasantly surprised by each course.

The hotel itself is cozy, full of charming little spaces, and we truly felt pampered throughout our stay. It's pet-friendly (huge plus!), and everyone was incredibly kind to my dog--he had the best time exploring the hiking trails with me. The vibe is very relaxed, peaceful, and the perfect place to disconnect from the world. Now for the real star of the show: the food. We did the tasting menu and it was so good. I loved the intention behind each dish and how they highlighted seasonal ingredients and the local farm sources. My personal favorites were the mushroom dish and the venison--both were phenomenal. The staff was warm, attentive, and did a great job walking us through each course. A few small observations: The dining room was a little too dark--I love seeing my food, especially when it's so beautifully presented. Since it was my birthday, I expected a bit more than a lone candle. No cookie, treat, or even a candle placed on top of dessert--it just didn't feel special. Dessert wasn't for me. It was somewhere between a milkshake and ice cream, but with a strange mochi-like texture and an overpowering amount of lavender. It felt like eating soap. The quail course tasted amazing, but the presentation wasn't appealing. It looked a bit messy, and leaving the head on (even though it wasn't edible) felt off. That said, everything was incredible--thoughtfully crafted, delicious, and visually stunning. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and the whole experience. Highly recommend--can't wait to return!
