The diveiest dive bar you'll ever visit!
This bar is in the basement of one of the oldest and most historic buildings in Catskill. It's named after a 17th century pirate called Captain Kidd who somehow found himself washed up in the Catskill Creek during one of his buccaneering adventures. This story inspired its owner to design the space with a kitschy pirate theme.
Check out Captain Kidd's for an interesting night and meet some local characters!

F&F is by far the best meal and dining experience you'll have in this area. Everything is exquisite, from the service to the food/cocktails, to the beautiful interiors of this rustic chic restaurant in Hudson. Reservations are recommended. They're known to be fully booked even on Mondays. Closed on Tuesdays.
It's rather high end, so naturally a bit pricier. And while you don't need to dress up, it's definitely not a place you'd want to wear shorts and flip flops to.
