On Saturday evening, my friends and our 3 toddlers in toe, tried to get a bite at The Peekskill Brewery, but they didn’t have an opening until 8:15 (long after my boy is in bed!). So, instead, we checked out this new joint which opened on Main Street. It was great! 20 beers on tap (many local), I had the cashew crusted tofu with curried lentils,,,,YUM! My friend had the beet burger with goat cheese and the kids had foccacia pizza with kalamata tapanade & roasted peppers. My friend’s hubby tried many of the beers! The smokey stout was his fave. So, if you are ever up in Northern Westchester….check it out! Looks like an old beer hall in Greenpoint.
And who knew it has historic relevance to boot! From their site:
The original Birdsall House was located directly across the street from our 970 Main Street location in Peekskill, NY from 1764-1852. The original Birdsall House was where General George Washington established the Continental Army headquarters, during his time in this part of the Hudson Valley, from 1776 to 1778. General Benedict Arnold was assigned command of the Hudson Valley and West Point at the Birdsall House. Our search for a name kept leading us back to Peekskill’s history and after much deliberation, we choose the Birdsall House, because of its historical significance and it’s proximity to our tavern.

Thank you so much for coming to check us out and all the great comments about our place. I have to admit we love our positive feedback. And just to let you know we are hard at work on our outdoor garden which when fully realized will be a 5000 sq ft beer garden with tiered decks, old stone walls and a Bocce ball court. So hopefully soon you can bring the toddlers and stretch out a little more. Cheers Johnny
