Hopewell Inn is the oldest bar in Dutchess County dating back to the late 1800s. There's been many a fun night for me spent at this bar over the years, checking out some live music back in the day including seeing SATO do their Ozzy tribute there. The bar nowadays has an outdoor beach area with actual sand and a tiki bar atmosphere that is very popular with customers ready for summer fun.

The bar was voted #1 Favorite Hudson Valley Dive Bar last year. They also brought in a hot new attraction last year, with the addition of a new mascot "Fin the shark".

Last year, we did a summer of radio promotions in the Hudson Valley, with some of the most successful events held at The Hopewell Inn. The "Bandana Cabana" events were a huge hit, especially the stops at The Hopewell Inn, where we also held the Bandana Cabana finale.
