Came here both times we went to Beacon (the 2nd time was to verify it tasted as good as the 1st time after a long hike). 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. read more

Stopped in just for a drink and was really impressed with the atmosphere and service. The space has a great vibe, and my drink was excellent. I didn't get a chance to try any food this visit, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. Definitely planning to come back to check out the menu and make a full meal out of it next time. A great spot in Beacon for drinks and a relaxed night out. read more

Wonderbar Beacon - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Beacon, New York

Went there a couple of weeks ago. They turned away a disabled veteran with his service dog. They should be ashamed!

First time at this restaurant and it will be my last time. Four of us came to this restaurant Saturday night 9/19. It was a very busy night with only ONE server to wait on customers inside and out. If I had realized that prior to being seated, I would've left immediately. Service was bad, wait times for food were long and bad, never offered a second drink, appetizers were just OK and the food was subpar at best. Expensive restaurant, servings are small, no substitutions, and definitely not kid friendly. read more

6/22/25 - a little too hot and humid to try the curbside dining option. We enjoyed our late lunch in the air conditioned main dining room. The charcuterie board is never the same twice; but that doesn't mean it isn't great every time. They usually present two or three types of meats, a selection of cheeses. Sweet and savory accompaniments. That work harmoniously to enhance the gustatory experience. Ask your server if you have a lactose intolerance, there are some sheep's milk cheeses on the menu. Then, there is the regular menu where you can order what you like. It's always a pleasant experience to be able to sit and dine, where service is impeccable and the food is plated to please the eye as well as the palate. read more

Such a cute spot with an art deco vibe. I was impressed by the variety of NA drinks, prices were reasonable and the cocktail list was thorough! The space was large enough to accommodate a big wedding party with room to spare.We had a great time at a private party and can't wait to come back with friends on a regular night. read more

We have been here before, so strolling thru Beacon. we knew where we wanted to go and eat something. We would normally sit outside under umbrellas to provide us with shade, but with this heat, we came inside and or vide us with A/C Asked for water to quench my thirst, . And requested a frozen margarita. And a charcuterie board. It was all good. read more

Situated within a shared space of movie theater, this establishment is uniquely classy with a "old time" nostalgic flare. My friend had his 40th birthday party in a back room, shared with another party on the other side. Our waitstaff was friendly, attentive and very accommodating. We couldn't have had a better time, between interesting cocktails like their popular Yellow Submarine, which was herbaceous, a little sweet and quite refreshing, their little bites like their addicting crispy savory truffle parm tots, and their filling and delicious entrees - like salads and cauliflower flatbread pizza (around $21) . I would recommend if you are in the area. read more

We came here for a friend's birthday and it was definitely worth the trip on the train. The truffle tots with a little melted cheese were dangerously addictive, and the chicken Caesar salad with everything bagel seasoning was delicious. They also have some very interesting cocktails and craft NY beers available. Part of it is inside a movie theater so you almost want to sneak into a showing after you eat! Definitely recommended if you're in Beacon for the day/weekend (and why wouldn't you, it's really nice up there!) read more

Enjoyed the vibe here, dark and cozy. It's literally attached to the movie theater next door which is cool. Service was great and let us just chill with our drinks. I had 2 cocktails, enjoyed both but the Winter Island def stood out more than the 34th Street. We ate just a snack, the Crispy Brussels, which was okay. They were tossed in honey, but it needed more salt or some other flavors to balance the sweetness. In terms of accessibility it's questionable mostly because I'm not sure where the bathrooms were. I suspect they might share the bathroom with the theater next door which requires one step up. I could be wrong though because I didn't use the bathroom, but I don't recall seeing them anywhere in the restaurant. Overall a nice experience read more

Love this place. If you do one meal in Beacon, come here. Our group shared: Panzenella salad - so delicate and light Nashville Dumplings - pan sautéed, with chicken, and had slaw with a mustard dressing. Wagyu burger (no cheese). The burger came with truffle tots. So good! read more

We were looking for a great tapas & cocktails place for date night. Wonderbar is THE place to go! They are voted best crafted cocktails and mocktails in Hudson Valley and it's obvious why. The small plates/tapas hit different - the tuna tartar featured large, fresh chunks of tuna on top of a delicious, bright green bed of avocado. The won ton chips are so good we had to request more! The oysters were fresh; the mignonette refreshing. The truffle tater tots are a must order - the ranch dip is addicting and the tots are crisp to perfection. We also tried the wing special - sweet chili - and as a devout wing lover, these are official. read more

Meh! Maybe they're short staffed too? People are coming in though? Service is good.., food not so much.., Tonight anyway read more

We love Beacon. We love how it's been fusing its history with shimmering pops of modern that have been going off with a bang in the last 20 or so years we've been coming to the area. And with that pop, comes good food with a nice bar scene. Located in Beacon's chic, don't-come-cheap Main St., Wonderbar was an excellent search for a light nosh and cocktails before heading down home. Wonderbar has elegant navy and black walls when you walk through their doors- with their showpiece bar centrally located in the back wall. I'm not sure if they take reservations, but we were seated without one on the Friday night after Thanksgiving. This isn't the type of place to get a Rum & Coke. Cocktails are well-crafted and whipped up nicely with a spin on some of the classics. I think Wonderbar's cocktail menu changes every so often- because even when I looked at a previous Yelp menu and was loving those cocktails, the menu we received on the night we came here was different. But anyhow. We were a bit dazed and confused when hubs asked for a cocktail made with Bulleit and they didn't have any on hand. Jack Daniels? None. But on the plus side though, my 'Moon Child' cocktail with REAL passion fruit mixed with good spirits had a nice subtle punch. While I'm at it- I cringe when bars advertise a cocktail has 'passion fruit' and when you taste the damn thing, it's NOT REAL Passion Fruit. So thank you Wonderbar for making your 'Moon Child' cocktail smart. Hubs' Up in Smoke' had a good TKO and so did our other cocktails. We sipped the night away. But don't sleep on the appetizers either. Hubs said his fried chicken on a bed of coleslaw and topped with pickled red onion was actually good. Wonderbar delivered the goods ok. I wish our Charcuterie board had a better presentation. I was appreciative that our server used plates instead of the board to separate the pork that I don't eat from the cheese- but the overall layout was weak and so was the cheese display. All in all, I like Wonderbar's feel and wouldn't mind returning for other menu items. read more

This is my favorite cocktail bar in the Hudson Valley! Cocktails change seasonally and are the most creative/balanced that I've had outside of NYC. They are all named after very obscure movie quotes, which is adorable considering the bar is attached to a movie theater. The decor is a modern take on art deco and is really stunning inside. Servers are attentive and kind. Food is decent, but sometimes hit or miss depending on what you get. read more

Wonderbar is a sexy cocktail bar lounge that takes you back and takes you somewhere else. From the dark ambiance, to the fun checkered floor and the fun art pieces, it's a place perfect for a night out with a small group of friends, date night, girls night or an after dinn dinn spot. It's attached to the movie theatre where you can catch a drink and a flick right after. Honestly, it's the perfect spot to grab bites and delicious cocktails with a friend and just catch up without it feeling too much like a bar or restaurant. It's its own thing and a return to the golden era for sure. Favorite part? TWO WORDS: cauliflower bites. OK the truffle tots were insane, the yucca fries were delish (couuuuuuld've been crispier) but the cauliflower was OUT OF THIS W O R L D. They have the flavor of wings with a nice little crisp and just exactly what I wanted. We ordered two drinks each and had a blast and an amazing time with our friend. Best part, you can also order off menu! We had a If You Build It He Will Come (with mezcal!! Yum!!) and a Don't You Have A Rebellion To Lead which was rum and coconut based just a tad bit on the sweeter side. Bottom line: yes this is a GREAT place for vibes and drinks. Such a low key intimate spot to catch up with a friend but for sure very classy, cozy and cool bar. You'll want to add this to your bookmarks of cool places to visit when in Beacon. A hot spot for brunching in Beacon read more

Gave me and my friend food poisoning on 2 separate occasions. She had the steak one time and I got the lobster dumplings another time. Never eating here again. Not sure what they're doing in this kitchen but it's not good read more

Great food and cocktails. And a lovely ambience connected to the awesome indie theater (the Angelika Film Center of the Hudson Valley). On nice weather days dine al fresco people watching in a prime spot right on Main St. The brunch menu has eclectic choices to go along with the usuals. All prepared with care obviously directed by a chef de cuisine who knows what he/she is doing. After your visit, a mere block away from the awesome whitewater falls and river. Enjoy! read more

Service was awful, bartenders need work. my girlfriend and I went and the entire time we were there the bartenders did not take our orders and were giving an attitude, almost like if they didn't wanna work. I'm sure the drinks are good but we didn't even get to try them. If ur looking for a bar to feel welcomed in I don't recommend this spot read more

Food was really really surprisingly good, although the restaurant had mixed reviews and upon entering was a bit nervous about the menu, the choices we made we excellent! Everything was tasty. Although the Nashville's Chicken Dumplings were super yummy the Carolina BBQ sauce I found wasn't needed and didn't add anything to the dish, they were superb without it and let me tell you about that Cole slaw OMG delicious, the pork buns could have used more meat than bun but my cousin enjoyed them. Yucca fries super crunchy and tomato sauce was very flavorful. The Birria Grilled Cheese 5 star alone and with the sauce 10 star! Overall give this place an 8.5 out of 10! read more

My husband and I have been to Wonderbar twice now and to say we are impressed with the cocktails is an understatement. They are some of the best cocktails we've had in this area- and not just one of them, we are slowly working our way through their creative and DELICIOUS cocktail menu and just about everything we tried so far has been SPOT ON. The cocktails are super balanced, tasty and most surprising of all the two whiskey cocktails I tried (which I usually do not like) were both so good I almost ordered one for myself!! We also tried the yucca bravas which are their only vegan appetizer option and they were in-credible. I wish the kitchen had more vegan offerings for me to try. They do have a rice bowl entree but looks like it would not be very filling as it seems to lack protein. The cocktails all have movie title names so they're long and somewhat hard to remember but we've tried 6 different ones and can't wait to come back to try more!! read more

Beneath the luminosity of the twinkling chandeliers, Wonder Bar in Beacon, NY brings back everything we've come to love about the Roaring 20s. This Hudson Valley speakeasy-styled bar offers up a craft cocktail and small bites menu that transports you back in time as you sip on your libation and snack on their culinary ventures. Their cocktails are whimsically named to fit the time period's most famous real life figures and pop culture characters. It's the perfect spot to grab a drink for any Beaconite especially if you're headed to a movie in the adjacently affixed Story Screen Theater. read more

I like it! I really really like it! Is there anything better than a cocktail lounge with serious art deco vibes attached to an old timey movie theater? Tuck yourself into this gorgeous little jewel box pre or post movie (or sans movie, ie, me, both times I've visited so far). The tiny menu has some vegan options, but this is a place more for a snacky snack than a meal. Their mezcal guacamole is wonderfully tasty, though the chips that come with are thick/very hard and definitely could use an extra dusting of salt. The rice chicharrones are interesting and again, I think I would have been thrilled with a lot more salt as the seasoning is slightly sweet. They offer up a cute cocktail list and bubbly by the glass. Honestly, I can't think much that I enjoy more than a light snack and some bubbles. It's one of life's little joys. I love the interior but the sidewalk cafe on a bustling Saturday in Beacon is quite enjoyable, too. Check it out. Wonderbar is wunderbar! read more

I've been here twice and it was great both times! The drinks are awesome. I also tried the manchego cheese app & pickled green beans. Both were delicious and unique.

What a gem in Beacon! Absolutely beautiful bar and lounge area. The decor is gorgeous as it's part of the theater. Came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was quaint for brunch.

Wonderbar is a must-try cocktail bar on the Main Street of Beacon. It's connected to the movie theatre, so it has a lot of cinema-adjacent decor, but the general vibe is still cozy and inviting. We had the Moon Child and the Puttin' on the Spritz VI - normally I go for Moscow Mules, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but the cranberry drink was delicious! The server said the cranberry cordial used is the "best thing she's ever tasted" and now I believe it as well. Even the non-alcoholic beverages were great; pro-tip - order the Hurricane Express with a shot - I'll be sure to do that next time. read more

Had a rehearsal dinner here last month. Food, drinks and service were great! Would highly recommend.

Oh my goodness! This place is such a wonderful gem. I am currently obsessing over their Corn Cocktail (god I can't even remember the name right now), which has corn whiskey, corn liqueur, love, and is served with a side of movie theatre popcorn. Everyone I have brought here enjoys their order so you really can't go wrong with the drink menu....ok now on to the main thing. Two Words: BRUSSEL SPROUTS! Holy cow - I cannot even deal with these. They are so delicious that I could seriously just bathe in the sauce that they cook them in. Honestly you could just eat these and be so happy. Hat's off to Wonderbar Beacon for being so wonderful. P.S. 5 stars on the customer service as well :) read more
