Rough Cut Brewing Co.

I stopped here with friends last fall when we were spending a weekend in the Catskills. The reviews sounded promising and I was excited to try it for myself. I had to order the Brussel Sprouts after hearing how good they were. My intention wasn't to finish them with the main meal on its way, but I couldn't stop eating them! Very good. I also ordered the burrito with skirt steak. Very impressive. Everything tasted light and fresh, definitely scratch made. And so filling especially with the salad, too! None of us had room but we couldn't leave without trying the chocolate flourless cake Absolutely decadent and delicious. Note - I do not drink, but my friends tried a few different beers and seemed to like them. Unfortunately, I don't know enough to offer a review on that aspect. Service was friendly, the environment was warm and inviting, and the outdoor patio area looks like a great place to spend some time in the warmer weather. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

5 out of 5 First time eating in and enjoying every minute of it. Great food, atmosphere, drinks, food and staff are amazing!!!! Thumbs up to the cheff!!! Thank you Tyler for the great welcome!!!

I noticed the restaurant on my way to the state park, and when I returned, there were lots of cars parked on both sides of the street already. I was quite sure by the atmosphere that this would be a wonderful place for dinner. Very hungry, I ordered the chicken wings with house BBQ sauce, and the burrito bowl with the salad and chosen steaks. They all tasted really good!! The vegetables were especially fresh. I enjoyed the meal very much. The servers Christian and Jypsy (sry if I spelled anything wrongly), are very friendly and easygoing. Will definitely try again with friends next time.

Delicious food and awesome brews in a great atmosphere! Perfect spot after hiking in the nearby parks. Walking in, you come right up to a nice, roaring fire. Their house made brews are impressive and well made (try the Pomme d’Orange, packs a whallop) and the wings are next level. The Thai Peanut wings had great heat and flavor, and the smash burgers all hit the spot. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and attentive. Tyler, the manager, is super accommodating and helpful - he went above and beyond to set our group up for my birthday dinner and made sure we had a great experience. Will definitely be returning; mark Rough Cut on your list for a must go in the Hudson Valley! 🍻

Great beer! Great food! Great atmosphere and service! Feels like their new chef is really stepping things up (and I really liked it before too). Had a chicken Caesar wrap that was so perfectly wrapped and delicious. Also trivia night on Mondays is the place to be. Best brew pub in the area by far!

Absolutely loved our stop here! The beer selection is excellent — I particularly enjoyed the smoked bacon sandwich beer, which was a really unique smoked lager with depth and character. The food was just as memorable: the onion burger was juicy and packed with flavor, the kids devoured their quesadilla, and the salads were fresh and perfectly dressed. Everything came out quickly and well-prepared. The atmosphere is rustic and relaxed, with outdoor picnic tables, string lights, and a beautiful location right near Minnewaska State Park — perfect for a post-hike meal. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, a kind Swiss gentleman who clearly cares about quality and community. Can’t wait to come back! Wir kommen ganz sicher wieder — es war einfach großartig!

Roughcut came highly recommended by my Daughter and her Boyfriend We were in the area and had to stop in to confirm the recommendation!! This is definitely a great stop. Great beverage offerings!!! I had the Bacon Sandwich (Beer) while my Bride had the Fourwheeler (beer) Great Home Brews. Delish The Food was outstanding. Hot and served very timely. The management and Waiter, Cristian were very attentive!! I highly recommend if you Enjoy Brew Pubs. Check out this Great Stop. You won't be disappointed!!! Great job Tyler!!! See you soon!!!

Great restaurant for good food and craft beer on tap.we had the arugula salad and the brussel sprouts with a side of fries with a hazy IPA to wash it down.

Amazing place to eat Food was delicious Service was amazing The waiter was super helpful Definitely have more party's here

Love the ambiance. I had ordered a Cuban sandwich sorry to say when I go back upstate I won't be ordering it. The sandwich was more of a ham sandwich not a Cuban. It had very very little pork in it like little pieces of pork. Waitress was friendly.

We love everything here all the time! Fun ambiance, great food, and great beer! Reasonable prices for the quality of food.

Pretty good food, pretty good service. I tried a smash burger - which was delicious and also a double patty, which I was not expecting. The local sour cider was dry and tasty and served in a lovely glass. Fries were good but I didn't get very many and it was clearly the end of a batch with all the small burnt pieces. The salad was good too but they ran out of their special dressing that was on 1/4 of the menu. Wings were good and the spicy dry rub was very good. I'd try it again.

We had a great meal. We started with delicious draft beers. Mine was the one with guava and friend had the one with orange. The appetizers were good, Mac and cheese and shrimp. Both I think could have been larger for the price. The burger was the star. Perfectly cooked and I could have taken a bath in the special sauce. It was delicious. I got extra and dipped my fries in it.I also thought the desserts were too expensive, I think one cake slice should not be double digits. For one slice that is robbery. Great service but next time I will stick to beer and burgers.

The beer at this brewery is top notch, and my husband and I should know - we travel far and wide to experience the best of beer in this golden age of breweries that we are currently blessed to be living in. Rough Cut also has the distinction of serving one of the two best burgers in a hundred mile radius (the double burger at Fiden's Brewery in Albany being the other one). So, have an double IPA with your Oklahoma Smash burger, and experience a little taste of heaven on earth.

The vibes of this brewery are amazing! The service was also outstanding and we had a lot of fun! The food was your standard brewery fare but it was still great! The star of the show is the beer. My personal favorite was the rose ability!

Such a cute atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating area is lit with Edison style lights giving it a beautiful ambiance. They have ample Gluten free options on both the food and drink menu. They have ciders and wine (no GF beer unfortunately). We tried the GF Brussels sprouts, chicken strips and firecracker shrimp and we WILL be going back for me. The staff was so helpful and nice. It was a bit crowded from 5-7, but we still got a prime table. We sat outside with our pup and the staff even offered us a water bowl. There were many other dogs in the outdoor section, so very dog friendly.

Finally got up to you guys for lunch. We loved your smash burgers! The bacon was incredible! The burger itself was charred and was cooked to perfection nice and dripping. Be loved your 44/55 IPA! I can see why you were very busy.

It's very delicious could do a little bit better on the way they cook there food it's hit or miss in my opinion

Excellent microbrewery. I stopped in recently for a few beers - worth going out of my way, but didn't try any of the food items. They take orders in an open end of the building, under a roof, but they have outdoor seating that's very comfortable and pleasant. Staff were masked consistently whether inside or out.

Was in the area hiking for a few days with friends and Rough Cut was one of our favorite happy hour hang outs. The bar service was good, the regulars were friendly, and their selection of craft beers was outstanding!

We stopped in for a drink and a snack after hiking, and everything was great. We got the buffalo wings, which were nice and meaty, along with the firecracker shrimp. Bumpkin Ale was good. I always appreciate a pumpkin beer that's nice and subtle. Set and Setting IPA is excellent. Pines & Needles is also very good, although I think all spruce-type beers are best in small quantities because the taste is so strong. Finally, service was excellent. Everybody was really nice and attentive. We'll come back.

Great food and service. I haven't had a bad experience there. Definitely recommend. I'm gluten free and they have lots of great options and take it seriously.

The van Steen Machine was a super rich and delicious porter and it paired really well with the Oklahoma Onion Smash Burger I had. Once I ordered the burger, I was worried I had set myself us to reek of onions for the night, but that wasn't true at all. When I bit in, the onions were crispy and mild, and the patties were amazingly juicy and flavorful. I only wish it stayed open longer on weekend nights, maybe I'm just used to city hours.

I have heard good things about this place and although I only live 5 minutes away, I never consider this when thinking about take out. Last night I decided to give them a try...I am so glad I did! When I called to order they were very nice and when I arrived for my food it wasn't ready yet so they offered me a buzzer to sit in my car so I wasn't standing around. With COVID still prominent in our area, this was an amazing gesture! The food was delicious. Seasoned great, has a really nice spice to it. Also, a huge portion, will probably last 3-4 meals. Definitely worth the money and a trip back!

The Roseability is a hit! Casual atmosphere. Perfect post hike spot to refuel and relax!

I love this little place on the way over the mountain. It is casual and a great place to have a drink and a snack after a hike

Nice atmosphere. The beer I got was good--a porter. Also, the Oklahoma burger is great and the fries aren't half bad. I will be back

This place is very cosy and the wings are great but the bartender outside was a bit unfriendly and the Oklahoma burger was very soggy.

Our waitress was wonderfully attentive and pleasant! All meals were delicious and totally appreciate the vegan options available! Beer and sangria hit the spot after a day full of hiking! Thanks for a yummy meal!

Two of the three dishes I tried were pretty good. The Brussels Sprouts weren't burnt (as seems to be the trend these days) and tasted good. I would prefer less honey and more butter, but that's a personal preference. The Arugula salad was excellent. The fries were fine. However, the Bacon Chedder Smash Burger was horrible. The menu said "super juicy well done" which should have been a red flag. I only ate a few bites (for those who know me I always finish my meat), there was absolutely no juice, the patties were dry as a bone, the bacon was hammered, too. I had asked if they could cook mine medium rare, our server said the only cook was well-done. I was going to give them 2 stars, but that burger was really crap. We won't be back.

Rough cut beer is delicious. That's a given. The brewery restaurant also is delicious. That wasn't a given. The food is pretty standard stuff. Kids meals are a good bonus. The fries are pretty killer and they have veggie options. The parking area is pretty small, but there are plenty of seats inside and out!

We drove past and there were a lot of cars there so we decided to get a bite there. We were able to get a good spot right in front (we were very excited)Joke was on us I guess because it was probably the weirdest 5 mins ever! We couldn't get into the dining room because all the doors were locked. Then when we finally walked to the side of the building everyone was sitting outside at picnic tables wasting and there was zero direction on where to sit or order! As we stood there looking around, it appeared that you ordered at a make shift counter and somehow you received your food in paper containers. Not sure.. but we stood there like idiots then left! Never again! Save yourself the hassle !

Loved it!! Food and beer was great. Service was outstanding. Thank you Haley! We really enjoyed the place and the fun atmosphere. The black bean burger was very nicely created and served in a tray. Thank you all for a nice night. Highly recommend this place!

A local spot for above average food and drinks, it is under slow but fine renovation to an even better state. I find the food choices to be few bit each carefully thought out and prepared, with a good mix of styles. The on-site micro brewery produces a great variety of truly tasty craft beers! The management is extremely health conscious, but helpful and friendly. Well worth becoming a new favorite for you!

Our experience at Rough Cut was poor. The food was greasy and the portions tiny. The prices were high. No waiter service. The owner had a bad attitude and made us feel he was doing us a favor! Stay away from this expensive trap.

Best quality beer I've ever had - trying this place is a must! Comfort food menu is also not to be missed. You can't go wrong with the burger and every french fry is perfection. We took home some highly satisfying succotash and asiago cheese biscuits. Yum! Prices are incredibly fair, food is fresh and portions are huge! It's hard to find a package like that these days. Rustic, cozy environment and friendly, hard-working staff. Me and my wife have been coming to this place for years. We always enjoyed fun conversations at the bar when co-owner Jesse (friendly guy with dreads) was there. Now (during covid) we order food and sit at their picnic tables outside under the shade of an old tree. So grateful to have a place like this in the area.

Why any restaurant who is most likely using great local beef would absolutely refuse to cook it any other way than "burnt to a crisp" absolutely baffles me! Their home brewed beer was good, the Brussels sprouts are made us optimistic but the blackened buns, onions and incinerated beef and bacon means we will never be back.

Country kitchsy brewpub in the middle of nowhere, by all the hiking spots near New Paltz. You enter what seems to be a former house or lodge, completed with the scent of old wood. The giant bar and fireplace is appealing with all the tables behind it. Beers were worth the trip. Their brewmaster clearly knows what he's doing behind the big rolling door in the restaurant area. Every beer, even the oilburner was smooth tasting, despite its color and name. Most of them have a heavy german influence. Dinner was their biggest shortcoming. Their menu was diverse, with numerous vegetarian options and a dash of culinary creativity. Unfortunately, the lamb burger was dryer than the Sahara, despite my conversation with my waiter 20 mins prior who assured me that they "definitely" cook it medium because "who likes well done meat!?". We both chuckled and made fun of those who consider severely charred meat "desireable". Well, uh. So much for that? When eaten with the soft chibata bread and accompanying feta and figs it was fine, but definitely not as promised. The chicken tacos had a whole lot going on with them. Rice, beans, spicy pickled things. Another great expectation with poor execution. The chicken tasted overcooked as well. Eeep... at least the fries were crispy and warm! I had quietly expected that the kitsch of this spot and distance from SUNY New Paltz would keep the "yooo braahh" college dudes at bay but they seemed to find their way here despite that. Ah well, at least they have good taste in beer, broo! Come for the brews, and maybe the tofu sticks -- they looked good.

The beer. Very good. The food. Also good. We ate a smattering of menu items like the disco fries (very tasty) and the prosciutto grilled cheese (also very tasty). The big pretzel baked with feta and sundried tomatoes was also a treat. Sit outside, bring friends and board games, and enjoy the amusing mix of alt 90s music and craft beers. The atmosphere is top notch and they even have antibacterial soap in the bathrooms. Yankees fans beware... the staff is excellent but they root for the Mets.

Nice ambiance, long history (under many names) and awesome beer. Menu is a bit limited but all food is great. Med rate ahi tuna on salad was done absolutely perfectly. Overall a weekly stop for us!

Don't get me wrong, their beer & atmosphere is great & the reason why there are so many good reviews. I've made an effort to support R.C in the last couple of years but I give up. As a transplant I know how hard it is to find good food locally. We all want a current type of place to gather with friends to eat & drink. It takes a pretty big sense of self to charge 17.00 for a burger & fries unless respectful effort is made to assure that each aspect of the burger & fries is well above what a diner serves. Granted, my experience is limited to the burger & fries at Rough Cut. The disappointment of being hungry at the end of the day; ordering to go & opening the order to find: A small handful of frozen, battered or double fried, limp fries. The Oscar burger... I photographed the order before tasting it to show the scale. The bun consisted of two, small triangular pieces of thin, White ciabatta bread. Cooked onions were heaped on top ( because they cost nothing.) Wouldn't one expect that a 17.00 burger would have decent bacon? A few stringy pieces of super thin, flabby, greasy bacon that had those little wavy patterns in it. The tomatoes were tiny, but tasted lovely & were thankfully unrefrigerated. To top it off; a smattering of baby spinach leaves. I would be fine with paying almost 20 dollars for an amazing burger & fries. The question is; how can that price be justified for a pub burger & fries that are presented & taste like an afterthought? One can go to some of the best rated breweries in NYC & Brooklyn & get a burger with a proper bun, plentiful, fresh lettuce & GOOD BACON & simple, fresh cut fries for the same or less. Thinking back, there was a time that I ate inside the restaurant vs ordering to go & they served beautifully thin, hand cut fries, but that was a few years ago. It's such a simple fix... Just a couple of great bun options because classic burgers are a perfectly respectable staple at a great pub. Hand cut fries, because not only do they become a favorite of customers, but potatoes are cheap so they should be no less than hand cut, fresh & plentiful. Lastly, I know it can't be easy to have the hoarders across the street. Maybe wood fences around the dumpsters would be a way to make the parking lot more tidy for customers. I am editing this today to say that I received an email notice that Rough Cut put the cost of the bill back on my card. I appreciate & respect that very much. Thank You. It doesn't feel good leaving a critical review, but in this case it is more of a plea because I can think of nothing better or more convenient than to be able to hang out w/ friends at a great brewery up the block, but on principle, if one asks a gourmet price, the only respectful thing left to do is make it justifiable. And then everyone is happy!

Just had dinner here..nkthing short of fantastic..Its not my first time but I clearly dont visit enough. Best low key atmosphere where you seat yourself which is cool depending on the amount of people in your party..Today I shated thebwings as an app with friends, not overly spicey and just yum! For dinner I had the Harvest Tangine stew which was a special and I added Tuna, well nothing satisfied me more,kudos to the chef. AND because who wants to pass on dessert? My friends and I ordered the homemade pumpkin Ice Cream,the best I HAVE EVER TASTED, the flourless chocolate cake which was so decadent and the lime poundcake..Oh Im sorry should I mention their beer since they are a brewery? Ok so the Orange is my fav if I want something heavy,which of course I did,nothing SHORT OF SPECTACULAR..THANKS FOR BEING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD GUYS..BRAVO

Picked up some food on Christmas Day, great experience. Very nice and clean setup, everyone was courteous and in masks. We enjoyed eating this warm and comforting food on a rainy day upstate, in our cabin, it was very soothing and peaceful. We look forward to visiting again!

What a super treat! The side yard is set with socially distanced tables, there's a clever system of service through various windows and the fish and chips was delicious. Thank you for making it happen, Rough cut!

Finally! Growlers (Crowlers, even better, don't need to bring my growlers with me) Love this place. I'm a summer resident, so won't be back till the Spring, but this will be my first stop when I return.

This is my favorite place to stop on the way home from work! The beer is amazing, service wonderful, and the brewery is soooo cozy. They have awesome specials. Their wings are my favorite, make sure to try all flavors! Love the burrito and Caesar salad. For dessert try their ice cream. I tried a balsamic and basil one and OMG -- delish.

Rough-cut is yet another restaurant that has managed to do an effective pivot during the Covid pandemic. Although I have been going to this restaurant regularly for the last four years, I've been especially impressed with what they've had to offer lately in terms of outdoor dining. In addition to being a very successful nano-brewery that puts out excellent seasonal IPAs, stouts and other varieties of beer, they have a very capable kitchen crew to provide yummy meals for those looking out to have a rustic dining experience. Get the Oscar burger, which is an amazing house-blended beef patty plus bacon, caramelized onion, and a special sauce on their homemade brioche buns. Get the calamari with Godzilla sauce (featuring their homemade hot pepper sauce, also available to take home). And stick around for the unique ice cream flavors (tarragon!). Or have an ice cream float with their Holstein stout and a scoop homemade chocolate ice cream. This place was great before COVID-19, and remains an excellent choice for outdoor eats during the pandemic.

We haven't been allowed to eat or drink out in months and this was a great restart. Luckily it was a beautiful day and they had a number of outside tables that were almost filled within 45 minutes of opening. The inside looked nice and hopefully they will be allowed to fully open up soon.Good beer and nice hot fries and chicken fingers. Will be back if in the area.

Last chance for Rough Cut, after a couple bad experiences at this place we tried again to eat there. It has new outside dining, seemed safer. When we got there the "host" told us there is no reserved seating, " it's just a free for all out there", and as far as ordering food he didn't recommend it. The wait was too long. The woman next to us said " your saying don't even order? Then he took it back. After all this time they are still restaurant amateurs. By the way everyone is short handed but they don't all handle it this way.

Amazing beer. Had 2 flights and their Top Gun IPA. Plus wings and calamari. The best we've had in a long time. But what blew us away was the Basil Balsamic Ice Cream and Sage ice cream and chocolate tort. OMG. Never had this experience before.

Was in town for the Hudson Valley wine and food fest and staying at the Hudson valley resort and spa. The food here is absolutely incredible and local beers and delicious. We got an order of disco fries and wings for the table to share and they were amazing. Burgers are really good and the burritos are huge and delicious. Can't wait for the festival next year so I can come back here again.

Stopped into Rough Cut on Presidents Day at the suggestion of our AirBnB host, and the place was bumpin'. There were only a couple open seats, so we sat at the bar, amidst what were obviously local regulars. The guy next to me was showing everyone pictures of his pit bull puppies; there were two dudes playing an intense game of chess behind us; and a woman talking to an employee about Jean Grey in the X-Men film franchise. Definitely what one would and should expect from an Upstate NY neighborhood bar. It was burger night, meaning an array of burgers and in-house drafts to choose from. One of each was $20 - not outrageously expensive but not particularly cheap either. Fortunately, the burgers come with fries and are fairly massive. The beers were stellar; hopefully the offer bottled versions in the future. Note that the RC hot sauce is ludicrous and best used sparingly. We also got chocolate ice cream, opting for that instead of the tarragon flavor (???) Left feeling very slightly buzzed and in good spirits.

Best take out around by far and offers only what is good and fresh including beer. We need these restaurants and hope Rough Cut keeps up the great quality. It's a cool roadside tavern but we can't really enjoy during Covid. Try the Buffalo Cauliflower with a fresh beer!

Very good food and beer specials! Came here after angry orchard for food and they had a Thurs special of $3 wings. The staff is very welcoming and house wings are very good!!

Delicious and creative. A much needed staple for the area. A very hip and fun vibe to chill and the food is amazing. If it's a busy night it's worth the wait. Love this place

My husband are camping nearby and didn't have high expectations for dinner, but we were pretty hungry and this place popped up on my phone. Holy moly it blew us away!! Out in the middle of nowhere is a funky brewpub with excellent beer and reasonable wine and the food was great! We each had soup (tomato bisque and clam chowder) my husband had wings and I had a salad with steak in it. The steak was amazing and the salad was delicious. If we lived here we'd come every week. By NJ standards it was very reasonable.

Was expecting more. Yes the beer was great and that is no small accomplishment. The food was another story. Out of of the three dishes we tried two were close to inedible. The garlic brocoli was unexceptional steamed brocoli with a heap of garlic on top. What is that? The tequilla chicken wings were tough, fatty skin, luke warm. Yuk. The veggie burger was tasty but a mess to eat as there was no structure to it at all. The experience was still ok as servers were friendly and picnic tables were pleasant. Was this just an off night? Not sure if will go back for another try.

Great place with local beers. Good beer variety. I got a Farm de Poivre Saison which was really good; hubby had some kind of local IPA. Our service was warm, prompt, friendly. I would say that the beer's better than the food. For food we shared: - house wings. Sauce was ok, didn't have much flavor. They were also not fried but rather grilled? Baked? They were a bit soggy. $6 -the country salad - blue cheese, apples, etc. Pretty good. $11? -the rib-eye dinner- the best thing we had. Yummy ribeye steak, yummy sauteed kale, and baked potato - the steak came with brandy cream sauce (not too flavorful atop). The ribeye was well cooked through and it was a large portion. $23 + plus our beers. The prices were very reasonable. The interior is very woody and inviting. Not the best for this area but there isn't also a ton right in Kerhonkson.
