Jar'd Wine Pub, New Paltz NY

Really friendly staff and good vibes. Cozy and has a nice back porch. A great option if you want to actually want to talk to the people you are with. They have cool dance parties in front on Saturday nights in the summer.

2023 update (I originally wrote this review in the late 2010s) - this place still rules, idk if the dance parties are a thing at the moment but still a lovely spot for a drink with friends. You're able to take your drink with you anywhere on the water street property too!

Cute place.loud but we could have a conversation.everyone seemed to know each other and the bartender was great. Russell has a tipsy snowman and it had to be pointed out to him that his mug was a naked lady torso (marry a nerd). He said it was quite tasty. Too sweet for me. I had the fall fashioned and bees knees both of which I liked a lot. I preferred the bees knees between the two.it got better as I drank it. One disappointment is the pics on Google show some dessert items but they don't serve desserts. Just small plates.

Pee or pass;
No bathroom but there is a bathroom in water street market I have used before. So pee.

Follow me for places I've been and places I've gone.

Great little hidden bar, watched the sunset from their porch while having a refreshing beer.
