Sunday Bloody Mary Menu

Note: Our menu changes often. We strive to keep the menu posted here up to date, but it may change day to day.

Hand-painted murals and tin ceilings adorn the tavern’s Art Deco bar and dining room. Acclaimed muralist Nora Johnson painted the walls 25 years ago, and has since returned for restorations. While the decor is stunning, the food steals the show. Farm-sourced dishes comprise an ever-evolving menu, complimented by locally distilled spirits, craft beer, and delicious wine flowing from the bar. The Tavern is a destination in the Hudson Valley for live, often local music and weekly menu specials.

Kitchen Service Charge

In an effort to create a more equitable working environment, we have added a 4% kitchen service fee to each bill.  The disparity in pay between tipped service staff and the kitchen team is a widely misunderstood phenomenon in the restaurant industry.  Tips received at Tavern are pooled equally among all our service staff and New York state law does not allow kitchen staff to participate in this pool.  Our new 4% kitchen service fee will go directly to the kitchen in recognition of their dedication and hard work. 

This 4% fee does not replace the normal gratuity for our service team. They are still dependent on your generosity, so please continue to tip as you see fit.
