This new addition to downtown has all the ingredients that make up a classy bar: high ceilings, low lighting, an opulent fireplace mantle, and cocktail ingredients you'll demurely have to ask what they are. Each drink has it's own style of glassware, garnishes are overflowing, straws are made of metal - did I mention this place is fancy? But they still serve fries. Fancy fries...which you should order.

Super fun and friendly tasting room mostly specializing in dry reds and whites. Go for a tasting and grab a charcuterie board from the cafe next door. When you're done, head up the street bit to the distillery for a tasting of their Applejack and other fantastic spirits.

Covid Update:: Service has moved out doors and there is a lot of seating. They have a huge fire pit which will carry them through the fall. Not sure what will happen in the winter months.
These guys make their own barrels for their whiskeys so you know it's for real! Ask them if they can give you a tour, they usually can if not too busy. Their cocktails tend to be on the sweeter side but you can have them make you something custom. Check out their Instagram to see if they're having a popup food event. Drive slow as you go through Claverack; their sign is small and the turn is easy to miss.

Enter at the 8th avenue side for Amtrak gates and arrive a little early if you're two or more people so you can get seats together. Don't wait for the track to be announced, head to track 5 and you'll see a blue sign with train numbers going to Albany or beyond. If there are two lines, get in the longer line; the shorter one is going to Canada. If it's daytime, sit on the left side for views of the river.
