Charlie O's Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Town of Red Hook

First of all, they believe this is a restaurant. I have never had worse food for an extremely high price. I am so glad that the people wanted to go there for a birthday celebration andI didn’t suggest it. I cannot believe they think it’s chic to term a hamburger “a smashed burger.” At $14.50 it was no thicker than a McDonald’s hamburger. It was cooked so well and it was paper thin. I asked for sautéed or caramelized onions. What I got was raw onions that were thicker than the hamburger and then when I said to them, please get these off my plate because I’ll be sick with some type of fried onion that was loaded with grease. A bill for four of us with only two alcoholic drink drinks for the table 2 of us had tea was over $200.00!!! With the tip, it was 230. I am so angry and have never been so taken advantage of or ripped off. I know they’re currently for sale and I hope they sell soon before they go out of business. It is truly a bar They should stay away from food. I ended up taking the hamburger home for the dog. I’m sure he even felt ripped off! By the way, we were there this evening and will not be back and hopefully this will...

So we went on Friday evening to have a few beers & burgers. Ordered 2 Stella drafts. Get served in a 12 oz. Glass. The last draft we ordered gets served in a larger pint glass. The bill comes showing 5 pints. I ask the waitress why are we being charged for pints when we were served 12 oz glasses? (I am a bartender for 30 years. The glass is marked 33cl on the side) The waitress says "as far as I know, the glasses are all pints. THE CHARGE IS THE CHARGE" I paid the bill, then asked for a manager. No manager, but owner comes over, tells me his aware of the situation, as he was sitting in corner but did not involve himself until we asked for someone, then starts to blame Dutchess Beer Distributors as they supply the Stella glasses. Also blamed his POS system as they only have pints as an option. Offered to buy us a drink ( too little, too late ,scammer!) The food wasn't great either by the way. Blah. Beware...

Food price / quality (value) rating 8.5. The atmosphere is a reclaimed old time movie theater decorated with movie memorabilia, with several TV's for sports fans. They also have a basement "speakeasy" that is only open Mondays and Tuesdays. A typical pub menu and draught beer selection. We sat at the bar, and split a West Coast Burger. The burger was fine, but could have used a little Worcestershire or something for a little additional flavor. The fries were cooked extra well done as requested, which is always a good sign. Service by Crystal, our bartender, was great, and she had no problem giving us a taste of a draught beer before choosing. We happened to stop by here on Father's Day in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday, so it was not real busy, but it appears that the place is a really good "party bar". We'll definitely...
