Salt Box Bar

Jeff was a swell bartender & gracious host with helpful insight on the Kingston scene.

Fun affordable bar in a great location and great hours (finally another bar that is actually open late!). staff are delightful! Decent sized outdoor patio and multiple interior rooms to choose from to hang out in look at that mirror walled bathroom!! If u ever want to stare deeply into your own eyes as u pee and also drink a beer this is the place to achieve that dream 🌈

A little house/home turned into a “speakeasy” vibe bar. Has upstairs seating and the bar section was small. Cool place to hang out.

Off the beaten path.. Uptown Kingston. Love this place! They have a pop-up chef every Tuesday cooking comfort food. DJ and live music often. Great drinks and attentive staff!

Perfect local drinking spot. Great place to go solo or with friends. Love that there’s a bunch of different areas - upstairs, downstairs, outside - so you can find the nook that fits your needs.

While this is an excellent Bar it is not in fact A Cocktail Bar. There was no cocktail menu, and my very normal gin and tonic came with a large plastic straw poking out of it, which I believe disqualifies a place from being a true classic cocktail bar. However, the ambience is delightfully curated in bright block color and the space is impeccably clean, welcoming, and with many lovely nooks. A few draft beers, house wines, and can beers were on the chalkboard menu. The bartender immediately regarded us and took our order, even tho it was our first time in; none of that Being Ignored Because You’re Not A Regular business. The clientele all looked like people I wanted to converse with, or at least ask them about their very niche tattoos. Would come back, but with appetite for a beer—recommend removing the “cocktail” modifier from the descriptor on Google to help fellow imbibers

I met friends here after a evening meeting. I ordered a Dirty Gin Martini. Delish, I was tipsy for sure. Unfortunately, no food, so cracker and brie it was. Small spot when you first walk in; cute. More space towards the back maybe for larger events. And, upstairs was great for a small group of us to drink and laugh it up. I hope to return for another Martini.

Beautiful place. Coming from FL.checking out new spots. Sat down at bar was not acknowledged. I waited as bartender finished conversation. Finally got drink, looked around went back to bar. Gentleman who seemed to be manager or owner nodded his head " when I said beautiful place you have". I finished my drink. Never offered a menu. Later went back with my younger niece in from AZ. Again totally ignored. Save your money, skip this place.

Boyfriend and I were there when they were setting up Christmas decorations and it was so sweet. The cider I had was good, service was awesome.

Nice bar, very lowkey and can be kinda romantic if u sit by the couches on the first floor. I don't think they really have food, but drinks are not as strong as id like. Not surprised lol many places are like this. The upstairs has a bunch of games which is fun, and they do live music and karaoke! It's just kinda small in there so it can feel cramped if there's just a regular amount of people.

Casual local spot with a nice garden to sit. I've only had a beer but Ive seen the cocktails and they look good. I recommend it. Dog friendly

Great tunes great vibes great drinks great bar! Love it!!! So fun. They have a cool upstairs lounge area too

Stopped in on a quick trip home to Kingston with the expectation of a local "nightclub " experience but it seemed more like a local dive bar. Limited decor and limited bar items. Bartender was nice and outside area was cute for nice weather. Historic building with some local charm in uptown. Seems like a work in progress. Wishing them luck.

Dropped by for a drink while staying in town. Great service in a fun, bright space. Tried an excellent a local beer from West Kill and will be stopping by the brewery for some cans to take home.

Super cute space in an old building. Cocktail menu is short, but elevated. Appreciate the upstairs and the outdoor space.

Bartenders were cool. But bouncer at door was total jerk to our entire group. We won't be back

Coolest bar outside NYC. Will definitely be going often. Really feels like you are stepping back in time.

This place has only been open for 6 months and I think it's already my favorite bar i7n kingston. This is STRICTLY due to the emoyees who, undoubtedly, deserve their wages to be tripled and to recieve a gentle (uncreepy) kiss on the forehead each time they clock in or out. Michelle, Michelle, Michelle, Max and Olivia are TREASURES and make this tiny bar feel like home as soon as your feet touch the red and white tiled floor.
