After reading the rest of the reviews, I decided to give this place a try. Was rated pretty well, and I felt pretty good about giving it a try.
As I travel frequently for work, I get to experience quite a few different locations, and find myself always looking for a place that makes me feel like home.
I have to admit that I haven't had the best experiences in NY, until this evening. I walked into the pub and almost immediately, I was greeted by both the staff (bartender Johnna, and owner/bartender/cook Kyle) and a couple of the locals. Not a bad start at all.
Next was the food decision. While several things were mentioned, the one that stood out was the option of Peanut Butter Thai wings. Yes, I agree that it sounds strange, but the locals all talked about how awesome they are, so I gave it a shot.
The wings were better than I could have imagined. They were probably the stickiest wings I've ever encountered, but well worth the mess. The flavor was absolutely amazing, and they were cooked to perfection.
I often find myself shunned when I "invade" a local hangout, but even after identifying myself as a traveling worker, I was embraced whole-heartedly by everyone, and found myself enjoying the local conversation that I didn't feel weird joining.
Kyle is meticulous about keeping the place clean as can be, and never stopped wiping things down, sweeping the front walk, etc... Even the locals commented on how he must be OCD about being a clean freak. Not a bad thing for a pub/restaurant owner.
I will definitely be heading back to Kyle's very soon to try the Peanut Butter and Jelly Burger (yes, I know what it sounds like, but after the wings, I'm willing to try anything Kyle presents) and enjoy my time away from home.

Read moreI guess I was here one of the few nights when the owner wasn’t here because all the workers were cold , I’ve actually heard them complain about slack they have received, they shut the bar 45 minuets early and when I told them my Uber was 15 minuets away and if I could just wait inside not to stand in the cold they just told me we want to leave as well. I don’t think I will return but I guess the owner is the one that has this place catering to customers and he just wasn’t...
Read moreThe best bar in Peekskill. Great atmosphere, great drinks,great food, and the thing that sets it apart from any other bar is the great people. The bartenders are cool and makes it seem like they are there with you. Kyle, the owner, is the coolest bar owner. Hell sit and chat or have a drink with you and is very approachable. If you want to grab a drink, burger, and watch a game or just sit at the bar and have a long night of drinking this is the place...
