Simon & Sheena were perfect bartenders as always – professional, fun, and experts in their craft. But what happened to Procera Blue? It’s been my go-to gin for the past 4 visits but it’s now off the menu please bring it back!

Great atmosphere, drinks were phenomenal. First time in a while where I thought the high price of a drink was worth it. My friend got one of the NA drinks as well, and you can tell it was a good craft cocktail as opposed to mixing a bunch of juices and sodas together. Will definitely be back in future trips to upstate NY.

Stopped in on 12/12 around 6:30 and it was the same story as always. Our server was extremely pleasant and timely with our orders. Sheena and the bar staff always make us feel at home. Happy holidays and thanks again.

Cozy lounge visited in Oct 2025. It was quiet inside, which was a bonus. The service was on the slower side, I think owing to there being one bartender and the drinks are all craft cocktails. Was nice for a romantic experience for pre-dinner drinks. Expensive though.

Tommy gave us an unbelievable experience.

We ordered the Too Soon For Adiós, Paradiso, Secret Garden and an espresso martini. All excellent.

Highly recommend all. But the Secret Garden was a truly distinctive experience. I have had many disappointing cocktails that were overpriced. This was neither.

Can’t say if we will ever be back in town. But if we are, we will undoubtedly stop back in.

Thanks Tommy! And best of luck with the home build.

Absolutely lovely experience. Beautiful decor and executed cocktails. Calm and cozy cocktail atmosphere. Would love a bit more story in regards to the cocktails and the experience, especially with the fragrance selections. We will revisit, it’s beautiful, drinks are excellent, staff is kind, it’s definitely special.

Getting to the lounge was a bit confusing so let me break it down…. There are three distinct places…gps took us to the Cafe from the makers lounge website… From which I understood there was two place Cafe n lounge.. But there is three! Must get to all three from separate entrancea outside.

->The makers lounge…
What a great lounge! Speakeasy style, dim lights, amazing drinks and service from bartender Tommy… Foods also delicious. We got the pasta with lamb ragu $31, grass fed burger with fries $24,panna cotta $17 and a bunch of drinks! Everything was great!

->the makers Cafe… Which also serves drinks & food (only one with specials tho… Monday oyster n bubbles for two , tues burger n beer, n thurs-Sunday steak frites) Cafe atmosphere lots of windows little tables.. We got the oyster and bubbles for two special. Great they actually serve these without lemon ( great considering my lemon allergy) and a mignonette sauce only note they do not have a cocktail sauce for this.. Only thing my hubby would change. They were fresh and served on ice.

->the makers restaurant.. Only open on the weekends

Simply the best spot for a drink in Hudson, bar none. It was such a pleasure sitting at the bar, speaking to the friendly bartenders. I highly recommend their incredible mocktails. The decor and atmosphere are superb

I’ve been a long time customer of The Maker. As a NYS UI I have gone to alot of places, I recently spent time researching gluten free restaurants in Manhattan and the surrounding 5 boroughs. I spend over $100 on each meal, usually out of pocket, to look into each individual restaurant. What I can say: The Maker has an atmosphere that contests the museum of natural history for architecture. The Maker has the best bartenders depending on the month in the world. (Please stop touching my mint julep V & L so I can stop tipping them so high!!!) The Maker has the best staff I have ever seen in my 33 years. The Maker does not have good food! (Sorry V & L) . The dinning facility of the Maker has godlike architecture. Throughout the facility all paintings are rotated in and out; they are all hand painted and while I cannot confirm the author the strokes are fantastic. When visiting The Maker appreciate the sublime architecture and Edgar Allen Poe to Van Gough aesthetic while understanding the food (not drink) menu attempts to replicate the current trends of the Hudson Valley area, which in turn farm to table prices might not represent all the chefs (I worked with them all and certify rotations for statical analysis) However, I put every bartender through an almost absurd level to replicate any cocktail i can imagine and if you instruct them according to my high professionalism they always follow through.

Sheena and Tommy are awesome bartenders and feel like genuinely cool people. Affable and attentive even in a busy space. The mood of the lounge is a throwback in the best way but, we go for them.
