Mac Riodan, bartender at The Craftsman Ale House in Harrison: “Birdsall House and Peekskill Brewery. On top of the large beer selection at Birdsall, the food is top-notch. Peekskill also has some of the best beer in Westchester, and it puts out world-class beer from a friendly brewery.”

Garry Leavy, bartender at Gleason’s in Peekskill: “I’d have to say Bridge View Tavern. It’s in a great location and has a lot of good beers on tap. And it’s always busy when I go in there, which is obviously a sign they’re doing something right!”
Mike Marrone, bartender at Bridge View Tavern in Sleepy Hollow: “I like Lucy’s Lounge. They take care of the customers really well. The bartenders know your name, and it has a great selection for craft beer—the IPAs are always changing.”
Mark, bartender at Lucy’s Lounge in Pleasantville: “Captain Lawrence Brewing Company. It’s a very laid-back, relaxed atmosphere. You get to sample their selection of great beers—I like the Kölsch.”
