This is a large, modern brewery that's great for large parties! There's huge windows so the natural light is really nice as well. Our server was also so nice and let everyone in our group pay separately with their cards. I really enjoyed my Antiquity salad (the dressing was so good and the pistachios added a nice crunch). The wings and fries were good as well, although the calamari was a bit too on the crispy side. I can see this being a great spot especially in the summer as well! There's also a good amount of parking available but it's only street parking. read more

Visited Zeus Brewing Company on the 4th of July and had a great experience overall! We got there right as they opened, so it wasn't crowded, which was perfect. We decided to sit downstairs first to grab some food before heading up to the rooftop--just a heads up, the downstairs restaurant menu is different from the rooftop menu, and you can't bring food from downstairs up to the rooftop. The hostess was super friendly and polite, and we ended up ordering the Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese--delicious and packed with flavor! We also did a beer flight to sample a few options. Our bartender, who also brought out our food and drinks, was great--very helpful and attentive. After we finished eating, we headed up to the rooftop, which was definitely a highlight. The view and vibes up there are top-notch, perfect for relaxing with a drink in hand. We grabbed a few more beers and just soaked in the chill atmosphere. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because a couple of the beers I wanted to try weren't available on tap, and the rooftop menu is a bit limited--mostly appetizers and snacks. That said, what we did try was solid, and I'll definitely be back to try more food and beer, and maybe even check out a special event in the future. Great spot in Poughkeepsie with a cool mix of good food, craft beer, and rooftop views! read more

My husband had been a couple of times to this place but this was my first time. They had a good selection of beer. My cousins tried their beer flight and they liked three flavors out of four. We ordered two pizzas - one margarita and another veggie pie and both were delicious. The crust was thin and perfectly baked. The veggie pie had flavorful pesto sauce. The lightning fries were great too. Perfect for cooler weather. Great ambiance for brunch, lunch, or dinner. And the service was superb! read more

My family and I visited Zeus Brewing this past 4th of July. We were looking for a place to grab dinner before the fireworks show on the Walkway Over the Hudson. I had previously visited Zeus Brewing by myself and had a great experience. To drink, I ordered a flight which consisted of "Cobblestone" (Cream Ale), "Aurora Floreales" (Italian Pilsner), "Sleep No More" (Coffee Stout), and "PK's Bravest 10th Anniversary" (New England IPA). The coffee stout was my favorite. My wife enjoyed a delicious glass of "White Sangria" (passion fruit forward w/ hints of peach). For food, my wife and I shared the "Zeus Pie" (ricotta, parmesan, shredded mozzarella, red onion, pistachios, oregano and hot honey) and the "Pickle Bacon Pizza" (sliced pickles, bacon, mozzarella). Our two sons split a "Kids' Cheese Pizza" (red sauce and mozzarella). All of the pizzas were fantastic! If you're looking for a spot in downtown Poughkeepsie that has great beer, great food, and great views, then head on over to Zeus Brewing Company! read more

What an experience!!! Significant improvement since its inception. Always a fan of their White Hot Pasta.... let's identify it as a signature dish because it strikes you with an insurmountable amount of flavor when Italian sausage (sweet & hot) are added. Spice is definitely the zest of life. The Korean BBQ Brussels are sizzling yuMMilicious!!! Carly, is clearly a commodity of the establishment. She is kind, demure and has a strikingly beautiful smile. She unknowingly strikes a seamless pose when taking your order. A taste of Italy...... Milan during fashion week, if you will!!!

I've been here a few times and my experience was just OK. The main bar area is (or can get) very loud. Parking can be tough in this area. Zeus appears to be part of a combined residential/apartment building + retail location and I think the parking lot in the back is for patrons... but it doesn't say that anywhere, so it always makes me nervous to park there. Also, that lot is frequently full as well, due to the residents. The rooftop deck is nice and has good views of he river and bridges. Food and drinks were OK but nothing super memorable. read more

What a fun place for a drink and some eats. It was a warm fall day and the rooftop is still open for beautiful views while sipping a cocktail. I'm not sure if they eventually have heaters for the colder months or if they just close the rooftop. It definitely got chilly once the sun went down. The Hades Punch was delicious and the cider gin drink. The jumbo mozzarella sticks are a must get. We also got the crispy chicken sandwich which was sweet and saucy. Service is causal but they regularly check on you and everyone was friendly. read more

This place is more known for the vibes. Rooftop is amazing. Drinks are not that strong, food is a hit or miss. But when it's a hit, it's a hit!! I like their pizzas and their apps, but for whatever reason their dips are just not it. Both dips I've tried from there are dry and thick I could choke. read more

Amazing restaurant. Celebrated the night with a friend's bday. Servers were amazing and approachable. Food was great and has flavors. Only downfall was it took so long for our food to arrive. When we asked the server why the food took so long she said because the orders in the rooftop and brought at the same time. Like what? But it was fine. We ordered lemon shots first then had our own drinks. Ordered food to share and it was goood!! Ambiance was nice in the rooftop as it was 70 something when we came. Our server also brought us a candle for the birthday girl. read more

We've eaten here once and get delivery. Usually I love the food but the last time we were missing 1 pizza and they didn't cut our two pizzas. Grub hub refunded our order. My mom made a comment on Facebook and they replied to email what happened. My mom emailed and they did NOT respond. Really bad customer service. My mom just said you responded once and then explained that is was not about the money it was how your employee handled it and you never replied to her. read more

Came here for an early dinner and drinks with a few friends! Absolutely love the rooftop seating! Today the weather was gorgeous with a great breeze. Every staff member we encountered from the hostesses, to staff sharing the elevator with us, and especially our waiter, Max, were very friendly, personable, and attentive. The cocktails were delicious, served in an "adult Capri sun" like container, with my personal favorite being "The Grand Budapest Hotel". I very much enjoyed the fried meatballs with the mushroom sauce. My dinner mates had burgers and chicken parm sliders, as well as the Brussels sprouts - all delicious and fresh. The fries were amazing! Sorry for the lack of pictures of food/drink, we were living in the moment! read more

Zeus Brewing Company - Rooftop bar with view of the Mid Hudson Bridge - Breweries Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

If you're looking for a spot with good beer, food and atmosphere, look no further. While you're dining, you could tell that the staff work as a team. They seem to all chip in and do it well. The bacon burger was cooked perfectly to order and the french fries were some of the best I've ever had. Crispy and flavorful! The beers are fresh and it's cool that you can see right where they are brewed. I wouldn't recommend the calamari. For a classic dish, they tried to do a little too much that wasn't needed. They added Parmesan cheese and it ruined the essence of the appetizer. read more

Great layout - big, open, high ceilings. Family friendly. The food was fantastic! We had a kids burger meal (adult size burger). Honorable mention to the thunder or lightning fries (ones with gyros meat) were outstanding! I had the goat cheese & pear pizza and my husband had espresso rubbed short rib special. Both were incredible! We tried another brewery in the area that was higher rated on Yelp & it did not compare to Zeus. Beers - I had a sour that was so good, we took home a 4-pack. To top it off, the service was great. Best spot we visited in a quick weekend. read more

I met some of my Yelp friends here at Zeus the other day for lunch and to catch up. While I am not a beer connoisseur, I have been to a few breweries in the past and have been known to sip a few in place of a glass of wine. Zeus' food menu looked really good, so I was looking forward to checking out a new spot and seeing friends. Zeus is located on Main Street in downtown Poughkeepsie. It looks like the building it's in is relatively new, and the interior really gives off that new aesthetic while also being inviting. It's super spacious inside with a mostly black and white color scheme. There's a large bar against the back wall with tables scattered throughout the space. While there are residences upstairs, the brewery actually has rooftop seating on the top floor. We asked if there was available seating up there and as luck would have it there was. It's totally worth it to sit up there - it's spacious with amazing views. In lieu of beer, I opted for a cocktail. The Fineapple sounded fun and summery, so I went with that. I thought it was great, really refreshing and served in a Capri-Suneasue plastic bag. I'll be honest I was having trouble opening the bag, big thanks to our waitress for getting me off the struggle bus. For lunch I had their Antiquity salad which was similar to a garden salad with tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber. They gave the option to add shrimp or chicken and I chose the latter; the chicken was fresh and the perfect complement to the greens. Service was great - our waitress was very friendly and everything came out at a good pace. Overall, I had a great experience at Zeus. They have a super welcoming and modern atmosphere with tasty drinks and food. I would definitely return if given the opportunity, and perhaps next time grab a beer ;-) read more

Love the beer and the food. Why three stars? The staff. I've been here twice and both times the staff really detracted from the experience. How? They don't seem to clean very much. Both times it wasn't busy yet the tables had crumbs on them. But even more annoying is that they don't seem to understand that they are working, and instead serve the role of being that really loud annoying table that bothers everyone else. They crowd in the corner of the bar to yell and gossip. While I'm not saying you can't have fun at work, it really detracts from the experience when you can hear every detail of their conversation when you are trying to have your own conversation. Easy fixes! Hopefully management can resolve these issues, this would then be an easy 4-5 stars. read more

Decided to venture out and try some place new. This place is really cool and I loved sitting roof top. Food was great and service was too. The chicken wings were yummy and so was my mushroom Swiss burger and fries. It was so nice to get out and be out of my comfort zone. This place has a great atmosphere and I can bet on a Friday and Saturday nights it's prob a great place to be. I'll definitely come back! read more

I was invited here for a get together with the local American culinary federation chapter. The beer was really good I tried a couple different varieties. I had the hazy zues which was good and I had a flannel beer of some sort which was really well done. I did not try any of the food or even look at a menu but what I saw looked appetizing and the service I received was great. The place was really trendy too with the layout and decor. Music was cool and the vibes were chill. I'll be going back sometime soon. read more

Great atmosphere (loud on weekends - similar to Mill House / most other breweries). Service tends to be typical for the brewery scene - reasonably attentive without being overwrought. Bar is large, drinks and beer tasty (love a sour). Pizzas are a hit as are the chicken sandwiches. Rooftop is cool but not temperature-wise...bring some sunscreen. read more

Update 8/25- A subsequent visit to Zeus a few months back was much better than our first visit. We went with six friends and our child and service was attentive; the food came out hot this visit, cocktails were well-made, the beers were on point and their sours are still some of my favorites in the area. Appetizers and pizzas were absolutely delicious and overall, I'm glad we gave them a second try. Pizza and craft beer is always a winning pair and Zeus hits the mark with their offerings. read more

What an amazing happy hour deal, each week day has its own special. We stopped by on a Thursday and to our luck it was happy hour all day! Every beer off their draft picks was home brew and for happy hour, it's $5 a drink. They also had house made sangria that was delicious. Our neighbors ordered pizza and burgers which looked amazing. Next time we would totally dine in here. Very easy meter parking. read more

Based on all the good reviews, the hype, and feedback from friends, I decided a good time for a first visit would be a late lunch on a weekday. That seemed to be a good choice as it wasn't nearly as busy or as loud as I've heard it can get at night. Zeus will probably be THE place to stay and be seen in 2020... ask me again in 2021. The space is beautiful and bright, but I can see where it would get loud easily. There's a nice variety of food and drink on the menu. As someone who prefers dark beers, I was satisfied with their Imperial Stout but really drawn to their Coffee Milk Stout. As far as food, I can't really judge based on a single salad - I thought their Brewers Salad was a bit simplistic for the price but still well prepared and tasty. But I was very satisfied with the food selection, the service, and the beer. Yeah, I could easily be willing to visit this place frequently. read more

First impression: wow Poughkeepsie has a rooftop! Second thoughts: the food and drinks here are really good!! Came to Zeus for the first time in March 2021 and found out their rooftop doesn't open until Memorial Day, which was understandable. Still had a great lunch with a friend sharing the penne rose and mushroom rigs + cocktails. Came again for dinner last night and got to enjoy the rooftop view! Was pleasantly surprised that we still got a great table and view without a reservation. Our server was super attentive, patient, and helpful. To eat we got the calamari (standard), pizza fries (so yummy), and the white hot pasta (delicious). For drinks we got the moonrise kingdom, French dispatch, and fantastic mr. fox. Really thorough menu with lots more I would return to try including apps and pizzas. Ambience and music were also great. So glad we have a fun spot like this with views and wonderful food and drink in the area! Will definitely be back! read more

It's hard to find a place with great beer and good food, Zeus checks off both boxes. My husband got a flight, he rated the beers 4 out of 5. His favorite was the Zeus IPA. We ordered calamari for starters. It was lightly breaded with just the right amount of seasoning served with a side of tasty marinara. For main course, we got Porchetta with Parmesan/Rosemary fries, and the Zeus salad (basically a south west salad) dressing was nice and zesty. Definitely coming back when visiting Marist College. read more

As me and my brother were upstate for Thanksgiving we decided to try out "Zeus Brewing" when we saw it show up on google maps. We had never heard of this place while in Poughkeepsie so seemed like a exciting new spot. What we got exceeded our expectations! With a name like "Zeus" you would expect this place to have a microbrewery college-esque vibe but it actually higher standards then that. Before we even entered the door, something we noticed is that the whole area was relatively new. It looked like these use to be warehouses or something long ago and now they are finally being refurbished for modern businesses. There is this brewery, Slate Point meadery and down further one of those trendy yoga-bars. I am glad to see Poughkeepsie is revitalizing this area for commercial use. Once you get inside Zeus the "this use to be warehouses" theory becomes more evident. The ceilings are very high, its very spacious and you can tell the space use to be brickwork before they refurbished. Speaking of the refurbishing is quite nice too! There are lots of fancy tables and you can spot the brewing vats in the next room over. The woodwork on the bar is also new and the main room has lots of windows for light to shine in. As it was about lunch time we decided to also get the brussel sprouts with bacon to share. We didn't know though that they serve this dish still simmering! The brussel sprouts were fairly soft and the bacon was cooked well. The only complain I would have food wise was it was hard to find the menu on their QR site. But besides that the meal was wonderful. We also, of course, got beer. We got flights to try out selections so we ended up trying the Zeus IPA, the West Coast, Mall Santa and that Farmhouse collab larger they had. In our opinion the Mall Santa was the best, followed closely by the West Coast. All of them were good though, its just personal tastes. Considering how new this place is I hope they do well. The experience we had here makes us want to come back again. Now that people are popping out of their houses again hopefully everyone can give places like Zeus more business! read more

Dined here last night with a group of family- general consensus was that our experience could have been better. Nothing egregious, but for the type of venue and previous experiences here we had expected better. From the moment we stepped inside (6:00 pm) the restaurant was far louder than expected. It made it difficult to speak to the other members of our party, and proved to be problematic for our server as well. Twice our orders were not heard correctly which led to the incorrect dishes being brought out. Both of the dishes were close enough to the order that we just ate them, but for the prices at a hip downtown spot we would have preferred what we had asked for. The dishes that were brought out correctly were tasty, and there was no complaints about them. The drink selection was also very nice, and we had several rounds of drinks that were served cold and promptly by our waitress. On a closing note, I had ordered Rosemary fries / frites and when they arrived there was no rosemary to be found. I asked the waitress for extra rosemary on the side, and was brought a small bowl of parsley. It was concerning that the kitchen staff did not know the difference between the two, and I was definitely disappointed. read more

Stumbled upon this brewery after visiting the meadery next door. I ordered a flight but was slightly disappointed that several beers were not available. We ordered the zarceuterie which was delicious as an appetizer and definitely enough to be shared. My friend got the fries which was huge and the dipping sauce was great. I ordered the spicy white pasta which was definitely very spicy despite the waitress saying it wasnt too spicy. It definitely had a kick and I would get the jalapeños on the side if you dont like spicy. My friend ordered the salad which was also a decent portion. I enjoyed the beers I did have. It was a nice environment to have a beer. All the staff had on masks and there was indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Staff was attentive. Drinks were good but expensive. Sneaky $5 tasting fee was added to our bill when one of our party asked to try one of their beers once we sat down. (I understand tasting fees after 3-4 not 1 at a microbrewery, would they rather we don't like it and send it back?) the food we got was good Wings are good but small portion for the price. Fries were a large portion but really heavy to eat. Automatic 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more regardless of if your bill consists of mostly beer on tap.. overall 2 stars for service and food was decent. I'll update if I go back but thats doubtful. read more
