Might not look like much from the outside, but this is probably the most popular spot in town for the Brooklyn crowd. Retro design meets killer, Japanese food (try the ramen and kimchee pork buns), and live music on some nights and great DJs on others. Like every bar in town, has a huge beer selection.

Neighborhood bar offering delicious comfort food and a great selection of local beers. Live music some times, great fun all times. Other than Quinn’s, probably my next favorite bar in town for a casual night out. Now has a very limited late-night menu (basically hot dogs)

A lively cafe that is great for working and people-watching. Great coffee, pastries, and some of the best quiche I’ve ever had. During the peak season in summer, on either Thursday or Friday and Saturday nights, Ella’s Bella’s bakery turns into a FANTASTIC cocktail bar at night, often with great food/snacks. You’d be amazed at the transformation, and the drinks are probably the best in town.

A townie bar filled with classic rock memorabilia and concert posters. One of the only places in Beacon that serves food after midnight, due to a weird ordinance. The late-night menu is sparse, but good to know about in a pinch.

This huge complex contains a hotel, restaurant, cocktail lounge, and wedding venue/event space. The restaurant is high-end if you’re looking for something fancy, and the cocktail bar is a great place to pretend like you’re part of the wedding party. If it’s a nice day, grab a drink at their outdoors bar. It faces the stunning Beacon Falls waterfall!

Probably the most hopping restaurant in town at the moment. This place just opened next door to Ella’s Bellas in a brand-new boutique hotel, and features the same chef as The Hop, which was a local mainstay that just closed. Call ahead on weekends. (Note: They have the most Google-proof name imaginable, but the address is 424 Main St, and the phone number is (845) 765-2208)

(2.4, 4.4 or 7.7 miles, Difficulty: 5, 7 or 10 depending on how far you go): The address is at Bob’s Corner Store, 640 Wolcott Avenue, if you have Google Maps. If you can’t find it from there, just ask the guy at the shop. It’s a 15-minute walk away and a GREAT and challenging uphill hike. Especially if you make it to the top of the fire tower. If you’re particularly brave, the trail connects to the larger Hudson Highlands trail network, for some serious hiking. (These are the mountains directly across from Sparrow House!)

(4.4 miles up and back, 9 out of 10): This one connects to Mt. Beacon, but begins a bit more flat/wooded (great if the intense uphill of Mt. Beacon is a bit much for you). Its trailhead is a bit hidden. Google Maps for “Pocket Rd” in Beacon and walk to the end of this very short road and keep going. You’ll pass what looks like a giant storage cylinder of some sort, and the trail begins.
