Great location...beautiful place...pretty good food. The beer varies though from average to occasionally very good. Add the music...often live...the outdoor seating...the views of the "gunks"...and the eclectic and very mixed outdoorsy crowd, and you have a mostly winning combination. Best to stop after a day of hiking.

Large beautiful pub, lots of wood, feels like a large ski shack type of place. Brewing equipment right in the middle of the main floor. Two levels inside that probably sits 200 and another 100 on the patio. Good time on the patio that almost make you feel like you’re a remote area. I three pints, a terrible hefe, an acceptable IPA and a very good oatmeal stout. So obviously I have mixed feelings about the beer there. Food was what I expect from this type of place, satisfying slightly above average pub fare. Worth a visit.

I thought this was a decent brewpub. We didn’t eat here, but had a couple of drinks, and the beers were alright, though there were not a ton of standouts. This place is worth a stop if you are in the area.

Awesome location that’s right of a hiking trail and adjacent to a river. Very earthy/crunchy vibe. The flight of 8 beers was relatively cheap, I think only $8 or so. The food and service were both good. Most of the beers were solid, although the IPA was a bit of a disappointment. Looking at the ratings though it looks like I just got a bad batch.

Located on the next to the Plattekill River just west of the center of new Paltz is on of the few brewpubs in the Hudson Valley. The Gilded Otter has a large resturant area with plenty of tables, a fairly sizeable bar, and a nice patio for good weather. On draft are usually around 8 beers, all of which they brew on premise. Most beers are tasty and close to their respective style. Food is usual pub food well executed. Atmosphere is a nice mix, nothing roudy or out of hand. I think the food is a bit expensive but New Paltz is a bit of a tourist area during the nicer weather.

Visited here with dickinsonbeer on the way to/from bctc a few years ago. Pretty standard brewpub lineup. Got the sampler. Have no idea where my ratings ended up. Food was meh. Not worth the stop in my opinion.

Killing time while my wife was getting nails done prior to a wedding I was happily surprised to find a brew pub. Ordered a beer sampler and an appetizer. Place was really nice especially the patio. food was decent and beer was just ok but worth stopping by if you find yourself in the area

Went here while in town for a wedding. i was really digging the ambience, kinda of a warehouse meets lodge theme. Didn’t have the food but the beer was alright. We tried three of them and they all were a little flat but tasted pretty good. If you are in town not a bad place to visit right by the river.

Sizeable, bright, airy restaurant/brewpub wth passable beers. Nothing special, and the stff as is typical in hese large places do not know their beers, or make up an answer. At least the beer was not served too cold. Nice town, but was very crowded mid-August day. Friendly service. Not worth going too far out of way, was on my route to Albany.

I decided to stop in for a late lunch on my way home from a business trip to Albany recently. I sat at the bar and was served promptly and enjoyed a pleasant conversation with my server. I had the Magherita pizza, which I enjoyed while watching the Yankee game. As an aside, its always a treat to watch afternoon baseball during a work day! The place is clean and attractive with all of the brewing equipment in plain sight. One thing I should mention is their growler refill price, which is $15. If you have lunch or dinner, they include the glass for free, but $15 for a refill is pretty steep. Overall, a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
