Took a friend home and we hadn't eaten and it was a little after 8. I'm assured this place is great. We are seated at a table at the far end and order the cab. It is absolutely perfect. Smooth not to strong. Just right Justin our waiter is asked what he recommends. He says the calamari. So we order it And he is right! Crisp and fresh. Some of the BEST I've ever had. Then we get the pizza with chicken. Again an excellent choice. Crispy crust. Sauce is sweet and flavorful! Wow and I'm not a huge fan of pizza This is as good as I've ever eaten. Boy is this place a gem. We'll be back! read more

Zeus Brewing Company - Pizza devoured - Breweries Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

Very disappointed in this restaurant! We came here for a graduation and had a reservation at 8pm on the rooftop. We were told by the ladies at the front door that they have heat lamps, to our surprise they did not. It was freezing cold upstairs! As soon as we arrived on the rooftop the lady at the rooftop entrance rudely asked us if we were sure we had a reservation even after we heard her receive a page on a walkie talkie that said a reservation of a party of 9 was just sent upstairs. We confirmed yes we did have a reservation even though half of upstairs was empty. She gave us two tables and we asked if it was possible to get one more table since we were very squished. She did not want to give us a third table, however a gentleman who worked there told her to just give it to us... since it was half empty upstairs. She then followed to have an attitude and threw the drinks from the neighboring table on the floor to clear the table... I don't know if this is common there to throw half drank drinks on the turf, but it felt very rude and disrespectful. We felt unwelcome by the staff and ended up deciding to leave. We are very disappointed in this restaurant that our graduate from Marist University raved about and wanted to spend her graduation dinner at. Never again will we give this establishment our business. To make it worst, as we walked out she had the audacity to say "have a good night" in a snarky tone. read more

Had this bookmarked for a bit & finally made my way here! Close to the mid hudson bridge. There is a small parking lot in the back of the building & street parking but read the signs. Greeted soon as we walked in by the hostess who sits in front of the door. We were seated right away. First time here so we made reservations & did indoor seating. Its a nice size restaurant & has outdoor seating available as well as a rooftop which I think has a smaller menu. We were able to look up on the rooftop after dining. There is a elevator to take you up. The staff were nice & attentive, the food was delicious & reasonable priced. Can't wait to dine in again!! read more

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

Good food, nice staff. I've been about four times and will return. Prices are reasonable and my husband likes the beer.

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

Big shout out to Rich and Zeus Brewing staff. They did a phenomenal job in helping us plan a graduation party for our families who came to Marist for the day to celebrate the graduates. There were very accommodating to our needs and last minute requests throughout the event for 55 people. Such a special memory for all who attended .. Thank U! read more

My family was part of a large group celebration after the Marist graduation a few weeks back. Rich, our catering contact, worked the menu offerings to include gluten free and dairy free selections for the few family members that have those allergies. The food was delicious- chicken satay, salad, pizzas. As the 50+ of us arrived, Rich was even able to package up the gluten/dairy free pizzas to travel with those family members who cut out early. To know my family members would not suffer cross contaminations with their allergies was a great relief and we had a very fun, memorable celebration with our son and his friends. I highly recommend Zeus for their menu and beverage offerings and their people are terrific too! 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
