Village Inn - Castleton on Hudson

This is a fantastic local bar! In addition to a great selection of drinks, they serve food and have tables available if you'd prefer not to sit at the bar. There's a jukebox for music, a space to dance, and even a pool table. The two bartenders I encountered were really friendly, making the experience even better.

I absolutely love this place! The food is fantastic, and the owner is incredibly handsome. I enjoy seeing him and savoring his delicious dishes! Plus, my dog is totally obsessed with him too!

This is the neighborhood bar. They offer affordable beer, decent food, and a pool table. It's cash only, but there’s an ATM on-site. I highly recommend trying the patty melt!

The owner Jan is very personal next to the cook usually! So the mushroom soup is one of a kind delicious the portions are right the food is heart-shaped fresh!

It's a dive. A fun one, at that. We pulled into the Castleton Boat Club to take our masts down before continuing up to Champlain. The gracious folk at the boat club don't serve dinner, and suggested we take a short walk up the hill. (Watch for trains at the crossing. They come in hot, and ready for mayhem. One person has already lost his life challenging one this year. This is a good, old-school family bar and grill. (A Gin Mill, Tavern, Bucket O' Blood, or what have you. The bar food is cheap. and filling if you're hungry. It certainly won't get a Michelin star any time soon, but everything was fresh and tasty, and reasonably priced. Very good homemade slaw. The patrons are outrageous, funny, and sociable. The barmaid was a total hoot and a lovemuffin. I'd come back just to see her. Folks were drinking beers and boilermakers (we stuck to Saranac root beer, but we felt part of the family. The building is quite pretty, clean, and has an good view of the river. The soup of the day is always cream of mushroom.
