When you head out to enjoy a drink it is fun to pick a place with personality. A place that offers an atmosphere or even entertainment that enhances the cocktail of your choice.

The Hudson Valley has so many amazingly unique places to have a drink with friends it was hard to narrow it down. The list below is truly just the tip of the iceberg.

Hudson Valley Cocktails Spots That Offer More Than Just A Drink

Hudson Valley restaurants and bars have done a great job of bringing together atmosphere and experiences that only add to a day drink adventure, a happy hour cocktail, or a night out with friends that includes an adult beverage.

You can find everything from an elegant Martini on the Hudson River at Blu Pointe in Newburgh to a Poison Apple Margarita in front of a game at McGillicuddy's in New Paltz.

I have included on this short list of places, bars, and restaurants that have had Presidents of the United States stay in the building where they are located. One place on the list was a monastery for 100 years before it became a place not only serving drinks but also making the spirits that go in the crafted cocktails they serve.

Cheers!
