Fuchsia Tiki Bar — Restaurant in Town of New Paltz

Loved Fuchsia Tiki Bar! I want to start out by explaining that we live about 2 hrs away from New Paltz. Tom & I decided to make a weekend trip of it just to check out Fuchsia Tiki Bar. And what a great decision that was!! We got there right before 2pm (pending time) because Tom likes to sit at the bar. In short, we had a fabulous time. Anton was so nice, some interesting conversation was had for sure. The decor is on point for a tiki bar, the whole vibe is relaxed, just a great hang. I can't say enough about the cocktails & food. The dumplings, sushi & example were amazing. The cocktails were outstanding. Just to mention a few...the outcast island (probably my favorite), song of the siren, lost in the tropics, Mai Tai, there wasn't one that we didn't enjoy. And the marshmallows are a great touch! We ended up leaving because we had dinner reservations (which was so disappointing) but will forgo that on future trips because the food we had at Fuchsia was better by far than where we had reservations. So, needless to say, we will be back & would highly recommend checking out Fuchsia if you...

I finally got a chance to check out Fuchsia yesterday. The atmosphere is just as it should be for an exotic cocktail bar: interesting and dimly lit with plenty of tropical/tiki decor and numerous artifacts. The cocktail menu is well defined with an assortment of classic tiki drinks as well as interesting and adventurous house recipes. The menu describes the ingredients of each drink so you can decide if the palate is one to your liking. My Wife ordered a Mai Tai and I chose a Three Dots and a Dash which were both were excellent and appropriately garnished. It really was great to be served a properly made Mai Tai! As we had a dinner reservation, we did not order food, but did split a third drink: A Jungle Bird which again tasted perfectly with rich rum flavor and just enough kick from the Campari. I had a great chat with the owner/head bartender Anton about all rum, cocktail ingredients, and various cocktail and Tiki personalities. Our visit was thoroughly enjoyable, and I cannot wait until we are able...

Please do yourself a favor & try this place out! You won't be disappointed. Phenomenal drinks, food & atmosphere. The owner (Anton) is such a down to earth dude & is a true master of his craft.

If you are not a rum drinker (such as myself) don't let that turn you away! Anton will gauge your palate & turn you into one by the end of the night! I tasted & enjoyed various rums from all over the world (they have 170+ on the shelves)!

The amount of knowledge/passion this man has really shines & the night was a fun learning experience for both my girlfriend & myself.

The overall experience was so good, we actually went back the following day to eat there again (yes, I'm serious).

I can't stress enough how great of a time we had this weekend & look forward to going back as soon as possible! Keep up the great...
