I have been performing at this bar restaurant with my band the Dead Elvi for almost 15 years. The place has a very cool rock 'n' roll, hippie and even punk rock vibe. Imagine a cool dive bar kind of like CBGB, but with amazing food! And let's talk about the food, the owner Dan is a trained chef. The menu is so vast and eclectic. It might take you a while to decide on what you want to eat. And if you're a vegetarian or a vegan, oh my God, the choices are so abundant, but everything is absolutely amazing! Best macaroni and cheese I've ever had and I had a vegan sausage and pepper hero with hand cut fries simply amazing! The staff are very friendly. The cocktails are amazing and they have a lot of live music. There really great place to hang out! read more

Newburgh, NY - we were directed to eat here by a friend after we visited nearby Motorcyclepedia. It's a popular local hangout, and the vibes immediately strike me as: if this were my neighborhood watering hole, I'd be a regular here. The decor alone earns a star: rock n roll ephemera covers every surface - walls, ceiling, shelves and display case - and takes me back to the days when I went to "shows" and not "concerts." There's even a small stage in the corner for live music, so that definitely checks out. Our friendly server Dianne hands us menus printed on newspaper, and I needed a moment to decide between the large selection of comfort food classics with creative variations on a theme - burgers, sandwiches, salads, mac & cheese, chilis & soups, burritos, wraps, fajitas, rice bowls, and specialty entrées - finally settling on some apps and a burger to share with my kiddo (which I'm told are good here), while our friend went for a steak bowl. There's a surprisingly large vegan and vegetarian section. Surprising because I haven't come across many veggie-forward pubs that offer anything more than a perfunctory Beyond Burger/black bean burger and an anemic salad. Here, they actually respect the non-carnivore's right to have some decent choices. The "hot" wings are alright and not really hot (though admittedly my spice sensors are likely eroded from my intense affinity for heat), but the poutine was a standout, which we ordered with bbq pork add-on. And while it won't quite pass muster in Montreal (tbh I've rarely had authentic poutine in the US despite seeing it on menus a lot - the cheese curds are never right), it was piping hot and delicious. The revelation was the twisty cut potatoes underneath, seriously additive! I love places with heart, which isn't always easy to define but the effort can be discerned in the atmosphere and the details. The Wherehouse has got that spirit & essence. With 16 rotating draft lines featuring regional brews, and substantial food offerings that far outpaces the typical bar menu, it's a down-to-earth dining establishment with the soul of a dive bar, that makes you feel welcomed like a local from the get-go. read more

The Wherehouse turned out to be everything we didn't know we needed- truly the kind of accidental gem that makes the night. Halloween night at that. We'd been striking out, one call after another, as every spot in our town decided to close up early that night. So landing a last-minute res. at this tiny, offbeat bar-restaurant in Newburgh, NY felt like a win. We just wanted a few bites+drinks before heading to Briarcliff Manor for a Halloween party and ended up finding way more than that. Unbeknownst to us, The Dylan Doyle Band played that night and man...was he good. The kid uses funk, rock, blues, R&B in his mix. Plus he sang his own renditions of D'Angelo- to honor him that night, Chaka and several others. I mean...he absolutely blew us away! But imagine this: it's got the vibe of Tarantino's From Dusk Till Dawn bar feel, minus the vampires and gore. This place is welcoming, unpretentious, serves decent bar food and has an excellent vegan menu that goes wayyyy beyond the usual portobello burger. Carnivores are covered too. Drinks are ok too. But do let them know light on the ice. We got music- a live band at that, decent food and had a fantastic time. This is Wherehouse. read more

Chris behind the bar remembered me from the only one time he's served me - handed me a vegetarian menu as soon as I sat down. I have never had one menu item that I didn't absolutely LOVE. I could eat here every day of my life. As a vegetarian, they have THAT many options to choose from! Bathrooms are clean, bar is cozy, lots of friendly locals. read more

Went on a first date here in 2023 ago and just married him! The food and ambiance at The Wherehouse are fun, conducive of good conversation, and make you feel like you know everyone!

Sooooo many options! Love that the had a huge menu with so many great options, and a whole separate menu for vegetarians and vegans with just as many options. They have some creative veggie dishes. We ordered the barnyard blast burger and a vegan BLT. Food came out fast and was tasty. Servers were friendly and helpful. It's small inside but had quite a few tables. Cozy and eclectic. Wish this was closer to us. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, is that they brought me a glass to pour my beer into, and it still had lipstick on it from someone else. read more

This may well be the best place to get a burger. It is a dive, but that is what makes this place so awesome. Everywhere you look, there is something way cool to see. The burger is beyond good. The bun compliments the burger well. The fries need to be a bit crispier, but then I didn't come here for the fries. And this place has a HUGE beer selection from many local breweries. read more

Yall ever have that type of spot that makes you feel like you could relocate to whatever city it's in? Welp, Wherehouse was that for me this weekend. My friend and Newburgh native and I were catching dinner after a day at the lake. We usually keep it simple - burgers, beer, and wings for our post-fun eats and she was excited to take me here. "This will be our kind of vibe," she said. As soon as I walked in I knew she was right. Moody lighting, nice range of drafts (no sours though, booooo), great kitsch and artwork on the walls. Laid back and local. I ate good at the lake so kept it on the lighter side for late dinner. Here's our roundup: Korean garlic wings Portuguese calamari Brisket potato skins Mexican street corn The wings were legit - juicy, a little kick on the tongue. And the corn made a nice road snack back to NJ (mind your business). My friend enjoyed her 2 dishes and beer and I snagged a yummy bourbon cocktail with my wings and corn. Service was solid and personable. Def a spot where if you come enough you'll have a fave server. Oh and for my big friends, the seats are solid wood. And we love that! read more

We spent the day at Storm King and were looking for a burger and beer. Thanks to Yelp!, we found another great place. So disclaimer, the location is in an urban area in Newburgh, we are from Troy, so didn't faze us much on the location. Enough said! The bar/restaurant sits on the corner with ample street parking. You walk in to an amazingly eclectic room with albums on the ceiling, rock music on the speakers, a Zappa Crapper, and plenty of things to keep you occupied looking around the space. Bartender and Servers were super helpful. Lots of beers on tap, in bottle, drinks filling its own menu with daily specials. Also, CBD and THC seltzers. The menu is in newspaper form with so many different options. The burger page is huge! Naturally we went for the burgers, the mister chiller burger(bacon, guacamole, and BBQ sauce) and the blue cheese burger(melted blue cheese, onion ring, and bacon). 1/2 pound burgers cooked to order. Delicious! Came with hand cut fries! Beers were served in chilled glasses. Would we go back, heck yeah. Definitely a good find. read more

Great food - great atmosphere - great staff and great owners. Make sure to visit Liberty Street and take in all the great businesses here!

Great burger, great appetizers and a slew of fantastic drinks. There seem to be more staff and folks tending the bar that I seem to remember over the last couple of years but there's nothing wrong with that. For the locals the wherehouse is definitely a comfortable place to go, a great place to hang out on the weekends especially in the summer. Tons of parking around the area and lots of other little things to go and see as well on Liberty street. But with the live music and the good food you can spend a couple hours here without a problem. read more

Had a kickass time here for drinks w the pals a few weeks back. It was crowded but in a good way- everyone was having a great time and it felt like a chill and friendly atmosphere. We only stopped in for drinks but I checked the menu out after I went home and the selection plus the vegetarian menu.. I will be back to try out the eats.

Glad I finally made it here. One of the best burgers I've had since living out of NYC. The service was excellent, the food delicious and the decor lots of fun. Great cocktails too! Will be making this the place to go when I'm craving some good burgers and to unwind. read more

What a great spot in the town! Great location, fun vibes that felt divy with a focus on classic rock music. I sat at the bar and looked over the many menu options and it's just awesome to see so many vegan and veggie things. I got the vegan chicken burger with fries, with a side of pierogis. The burger was pretty great, you can't go wrong with a fat vegan chicken burger! The fries were well seasoned, and the pierogies were OK. Not "great" but OK, but then again, I'm not used to eating them. Def recommend!! read more

My husband visited her a few years ago and came home raving about their Mondo Bizzaro wings. He said they were the best he has ever had. On our way home from Maine, we happened to drive past a sign for Newburgh and he immediately had me change our destination from home to The Wherehouse! Let me tell you, he did not exaggerate. This sauce is by far the best wing sauce I have ever had. The owners ended up chatting with us and we had the absolute best experience. Our food came out fresh and hot and absolutely delicious. Thank you for your amazing hospitality and chatting with us. Our trip to The Wherehouse was absolutely worth the extra time it took to get home! read more

Was great. Very reasonably priced. Food was delicious . Great burgers. Very rustic. Vinyl covered ceiling.

Great bar food, good local beer selection, staff was super friendly. Will definitely come back again

Our burgers were good but the fries were mushy. Great craft beer selection where I found a new favorite. The "groovy" 60s electic vibe is a little kitchy but a nice change of pace in the neighborhood, and there was a fair amount of foot traffic with locals hanging out more than eating. I'd potentially return and try again but likely would skip the fries. read more

I came here with a group of friends and we had an amazing time. I'm glad I listened to the reviews. The pulled pork Mac and cheese is INCREDIBLE. The burgers were all delicious, and the potato skins had amazing flavor. The place is relaxing and when you want to eat what you want, fuck a diet, this is the place to do it. Food for the soul, perfect place for it. Don't think it's good for a first date but definitely date night when the band is here, would be a great time. The staff is super friendly and they make you laugh with the sarcasm and relaxing nature of the place. Thank you Wherehouse for an amazing experience. read more

I'll be honest. All I had was one glass of Cava at the Wherehouse. Five stars, you ask? Isn't that a bit hasty? True, I typically would wait for a second visit, certainly a visit where I spent more time, ordered some food perhaps, but here's an instance of love at first sight. We were wandering around Newburgh's waterfront and figured that Liberty Street would be more of what we had in mind for late afternoon libations. We peeked into several cute places on this historic street before landing here and couldn't resist the rock & roll neighborhood vibes that Wherehouse exuded. We bellied up to the bar and the friendly bartender handed us menus. We weren't up to eating at that time, but I love looking at menus so I can see if I can eat here, as a vegan. I was amazed to see a bunch of house made veggie burgers and an entire vegan section in the newspaper menu! And the all-time best compliment I can give a bar is that it reminds me of New Orleans. Really, you can't get better than that. You know what it means... and I'll leave it at that until I return again! read more

I wasn't prepared to be as blown away by my lunch here as I ultimately was. The Wherehouse looks like it belongs in Lower Manhattan. It has an overt hippy vibe with outdoor seating and the door wide open. The interior here is very authentic. Nice sized bar. Artwork on the walls (not on canvases but actually on the walls), vinyl records stuck to the ceiling. This place couldn't be more casual. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The menu is pretty dense. They have a multitude of burger options and even vegan options. This must be a fun place to hang in the evening but we were here for lunch. Bathrooms are very clean also. They have two and one is wheelchair accessible. The food was kind of amazing. Everything seemed really fresh. There were three of us and we didn't wait for anything. We also ordered the nachos as an app. The pico looked and tasted freshly made. The chips were served over a bed of sweet chili which was well proportioned and covered with sliced jalapeños. I ordered a burger melt which was cooked to perfection and served with a side of fries, tomato, lettuce and a pickle. My son had the shredded chicken sandwich and loved it. Everyone was really satisfied with their orders. We must have been hungry since I ate everything before I realized I hadn't taken a photo of any of the food. Worth noting -- our server checked in a few times with us. Never any pressure on ordering or settling up. The owner even stopped by a couple of times as she was checking on customers dining outside. Really an outstanding experience here and I'd come back in a heartbeat. If there is a downside -- parking can be sketchy and the area itself isn't what I called secured. The streets are in rough shape so hold on to your hubcaps. This is walking distance to George Washington's house on the water. read more

Stopped here to get some take out since i pick up delivers here and wanted to try myself. The server with the ski cap was very chill and took my order down to a Tee and was quick. so, after a 15-minute wait he give me my food and thanked me for my order. very nice service here. The appereteaser , potato skins were crispy and pulled pork on top was sweet and savory, plus very tender, boneless buffalo wings were very tender and tasty, plus the sauce they bathed in were very mild, not overpowering, the angus sliders were alright, not much to say for them. The pulgasari burger, was cooked to a perfect medium rare, very juicy, plenty of amazingly, sautéed mushrooms not overcooked, bacon was lightly crispy and the Korean garlic chili sauce, was very sweet and savory, reminded me of a sloppy joe sauce. The meggster burger, was cooked medium rare as perfectly and meat was still juicy, now the mild wing sauce its dipped in, its hard taste it since its very mild. pepperjack cheese was melted pretty well and the fried egg was very yolky still. Overall, a very amazing gem in Newburgh. read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant in the entire Hudson Valley. As a 40 year vegetarian, no one else's menu even comes close. The food is great, fresh and the place has an amazing NYC vibe.

Bf and I came here to watch the knicks game that ended in shock (lol) they served us 20 minutes before the kitchen closed (9pm weekdays) and came out with bangers. Calamari tasted yummy and fried extra crispyy. Bf said the burger and fries were chefs kiss and I had the chili and garlic wings which were sooo good. The drinks were made great too. Server and bartender were wonderful as well, he was nice enough to turn on the extra the extra tv for our angle. I recommend this place wholeheartedly even if just for food pickup. Also, the menu on yelp is not the correct menu. They have extensive options in their newspaper styled menu in the bar. Go check it out. We shall be back!!! read more

Food was great. Lots to choose from. Service was friendly and prompt. Very unique atmosphere.

First of all -- I'm suuuuper appreciative of the vegetarian/vegan options here. I just moved to Newburgh and it hasn't been as easy to find out here as it is in other cities I've lived. I tried the Shepherd's Pie and it was super comforting! I'd definitely get this again if I go back. The chili is advertised as sweet and spicy and that's exactly what it is. In my opinion, too sweet, and I wasn't interested in finishing it. But if that's what you're looking for in chili - go for it! It wasn't bad, it just wasn't for me. Will definitely be back to try the other vegan options and if I'm ever having a bad day, the Shepherds Pie might have become my comfort meal around here. Thank you Wherehouse! read more
