Kingston

Kingston, New York's first state capital and a historic Hudson Valley river city, has a bar scene that's grown alongside the region's craft beverage boom - BarFinder lists 34 venues here, led by classic bars with a real brewery and wine bar presence behind them. Local spots like Great Life Brewing and Wiltwyck Spirits Company Tasting Room reflect that craft side, while neighborhood staples like Kelly's Shamrock Tavern and Third Base keep a more traditional tavern character alive. It's a scene that mixes old river-town history with the newer Hudson Valley food-and-drink wave.
