Drinks & Nightlife

There is a great nightlife scene in Hudson. You'll almost always find something to do. Most of the venues listed in this category, have at least a bar menu, but others are full on restaurants that transition to bars or clubs later. All bars are in Hudson unless otherwise noted. *NOTE As we begin recovering from COVID-19 -For guests who would prefer outdoor dining, we have included a list of eating establishments in Hudson or very close by that have substantial outdoor seating. See the list further down.
The bar/lounge for the The Maker Hotel complex. Now that the hotel, cafe, restaurant and gym are fully open, The Maker Lounge stands out among them and is pretty amazing all on its own. Styled after a bordello/speakeasy (you even enter in back on the corner of 3rd Street and Prison Alley). The patio (with lap pool) is stunning during warm weather. The staff is top notch and the bar food selections are pretty awesome as well. They only let in the number of people who can be seated at any given time. It's not a velvet rope thing, just wait, it's worth it. If you only go out to one place, make this the one place you go. *Outdoor Dining

One of the best rooms for live music between NYC and Montreal with top of the line acts. Great sound and there isn't a bad seat in the house. Restaurant in front serving mostly Southern food. The club is in back and there is a special events ballroom on the 2nd Floor above the restaurant. Great courtyard. When it's in full effect, it's an amazing scene.

The coolest little restaurant in Hudson just keeps getting better. Kind of Caribbean, kind of Central American, Very Tropical. The flavors are incredible. Chefs Carla Perez-Gallardo & Hannah Black have just been nominated for a James Beard Award (the culinary Oscars). That's a very big deal. If you go, at least one of you should order the whole fried fish. It's extraordinary.

Every dish has at least one ingredient, you've never heard of, a friend said that the menu was written in Brooklynese. But by and large what comes out on your plate, is absolutely delicious.

Ghent NY - This place is amazing. Swanky airport lounge flavor circa 1975. The staff has worked there for 30 or 40 years and are fantastic. It's retro for sure. In a good way. The crudité and bean salad start it off right. Surf and Turf, Osso Bucco, Steaks, Chops and more. Like Grandma and Grandpa used to bring you to as a kid. But this time without a cloud of smoke in the dining room. A gem. About 10 minutes from downtown Hudson.

It's a relatively short hike to the falls. While there are signs posted saying no swimming, it's one of the best swimming holes around. Back up into the waterfall and be transformed.
