Pelkey’s Catskills Tavern is so much more than a business—it’s a lifelong dream come true. For more than two decades, I worked in publishing, as a Production Director, Photographer, Writer, Designer, but the off-duty me was the real me: hiking and fly-fishing, building motorcycles, and hot rods, firing up the grill and smoker, and mixing drinks for friends. I had been looking for the right spot to open a bar-restaurant for years before I found the perfect place—a roadside barroom and barn in the quiet hamlet of Hankins, New York. I love its laidback vibe and its long history, which dates to1890’s—first as a home, a boarding house and many different bars.

Pelkey’s Tavern is truly a hidden gem in Hankins, NY! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere and great food. I had the chance to meet the owner, Will, and it’s clear he’s put his heart and soul into this place.
The service was excellent, and the live band added so much to the experience—great music at the perfect volume. You could enjoy it outside by the fire pit and still carry on a conversation inside. I ordered the Diablo, one of their specialties, and was pleasantly surprised by both the flavor and the portion size. The fries are outstanding too!
For the quality and amount of food, the prices are very reasonable. This is an easy stop right off Route 86. If you’re traveling from the City up to the Catskills or further into Upstate NY, definitely add Pelkey’s Tavern to your trip—you won’t be disappointed!

My friend knows the owner from him coming to her bar. She insisted on coming over an hour away to check it out. I took the ride with her and glade I did. Great food. Loved the atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

I have been coming to the area for years and just found this place. Delicious food, very welcoming staff (especially Jessie!), and such a great vibe overall. If you coming, get the Diablo!

Anytime I’m in the area i try and come see Will and the rest of the great staff at Pelkeys. Incredible food, like some of the best bar food you could ask for. found it by a happy accident a few years back and happy to pop in during our spring retreats.

The food was very good, portions were fair. They had good specials for drinks like $2.50 for miller, but others were a bit pricey. Good alcohol selection. Very nice atmosphere. This place has lots of potential. It’s close to our vacation cabin, so I have high hopes. Hoping they figure out appropriate pricing and expand their menu a bit. Look forward to outdoor area with games perhaps. Overall worth a try or two! Huge improvement from the last bar (though I enjoyed that too).
2025 Edit: food good. Beer good. Prices good. Outside usually has fire and I’m a moth to the flame. Live music sometimes. They let me play the piano which is cool too.

A true local gem. Friendly staff and delicious food. Everything you’d want in a great roadside tavern. We loved the BBQ wings and the burgers were great. Shoestring fries were top notch. Can’t wait to go back!

My wife and I love Pelkey’s. This is our neighborhood bar and restaurant. The owner is always welcoming and personable. The staff is friendly and fun. The food has evolved greatly and we look forward to it growing over the years. The donuts and brunch are a wonderful new addition to the menu. It’s a very unique spot for the area.

I made it up to the quaint hamlet of Hankins and had to see what everyone was talking about “Pelkeys Tavern” when I arrived it was bustling with people but I was able to get a nice cold glass of Stella Artois served in its proper chalice- kudos! I was a little famished from the long drive up and a Pelkeys Tavern regular “Ralph” recommended I have the special that night- a steak sandwich and it did not disappoint!!!
I found the bar to be lively, all of the patrons were enjoying themselves and having a good time. I met the owner “Bill Pelkey” who was working behind the bar on his birthday as fate would have it. He was a gregarious fellow. Pleasant at first but then all business. Understandable with the growing crowd of patrons he was serving. He did take the time to pose for a picture with me. I never made the cut for his “VIP” section though. I think it’s for Steelers fans only…
