Drinks & Nightlife

Woodstock. Located in an old train station it's a good spot to relax with a cold beer or cocktail after a day out in the Catskills. They also have small plates of homemade locally sourced food for you to snack on, a wine list that highlights the best of New York and beyond, and a covered platform for outdoor drinking. One of the few places open late in Woodstock (2am).

Moderate Hike. A 2-mile loop follows a portion of an historic tan bark trail and an old quarry road that once provided access to the bluestone quarries and hemlock forests back in the 1800s. Interpretive signage along the route tells the story. There are good views of the Esopus Creek valley from both the Grand View Ledge and the Phoenicia Overlook on the slopes of Mount Tremper. The hike has several short, steep inclines/declines with an overall elevation gain of 700’.
