10 Reviews on “Birdsall House”
A craft beer lovers haven destination with delicious food.. GPS and BEER go well together. Imagine that you just finished a full day of shopping at the outlets and youre both hungry and thirsty for a good craft beer. An online search suggests a couple of places and one of them not too far off the route home sounds promising. Thus we arrived at Birdsall House. A beautiful drive across the Bear Mountain Bridge and through some wonderfully twisty motorcycle/sports car roads down into Peekskill to a very unassuming building.Apparently, we were still early enough on a Friday evening to not need a reservation, as we were promptly seated. This is a funky, in a good way, kind of place. When they ran out of empty tables they carried one in from the back of the restaurant and seated four more people. During our meal they proceeded to project the movie On the Waterfront on the wall across from our table. Their web page says that Sunday night is Movie Night (but today was Friday)!This is a craft beer lovers haven destination. A clipboard with separate sheets of paper for the menu has a page with 20 draft beers, listing their styles, ABV%, state of origin, and price/size. Beers are not sold in all the sizes listed (6, 8, 12, & 16 oz.). Higher ABV offerings may only be available in 6 or 12 oz. sizes while lower ABV choices are available in 8 and 16 oz. Flights are also available 5.5 oz. pours of 5 beers $14. Growler prices will depend on size and beer choice (32 oz. fills $10-$19/ 64 oz. fills $18-$35).We started with a Left Hand Sawtooth (ESB nitro) and a Port City Colossal One (Imperial Stout), both ($7/16 oz.). Both were excellent and prepared us for the Smoked Pork Nachos ($14). They smoke their own meat here and it is right up there with the best weve ever had. Their blue corn tortilla chips are covered with cheddar cheese, black beans, tomatillo salsa and sour cream. Yum!My wife then chowed down on a Birdsall Reuben ($16) house made corned beef, Cajun remoulade, braised cabbage, New York white cheddar, on sourdough rye bread, with French fries. This was excellent. Delicious corned beef.Because the smoked pork in the Nachos was so good I couldnt resist ordering the Smoky Pulled Pork Sandwich ($14) the pork is served with a Carolina style BBQ sauce, fennel, and celery slaw on a brioche bun with fries. Another winning choice here. This calls for a couple more drafts in celebration…So, a rare Hill Farmstead George (Brown) and a one-off keg, Cigar City Dry-Hopped on the High Seas (IPA) both ($7/12 oz.) helped us enjoy our sandwiches.With food this good I have to ask whats for dessert and if its made in-house. Our server said the cheesecake is not made in-house, but is made by a local woman just for Birdsall House. Needless to say I ordered it ($8). It was truly RICH… but really good.I wish this place was closer to home. But on second thought, maybe its good that it isnt!
Like real beer and ales with food to match, well this is the place to be in Peekskill. When the weather is warm hit the beer garden.
Service was attentive and very nice!! Ambiance was fun and funky. Beer choices were great and on the craft beer end. The food was amazing and fresh. Looking forward to a future visit for sure!!! Many thanks:)
One of our local faces. LOVE this place… prob go once a week, and consistency of the quality of food is very good. the specials are always inventive and very seasonal, plus the beer list is amazing, and the servers are knowledgable about what they offer. for everyone complaining about prices, theres a good reason! all the food VERY high quality… you want a burger made with crappy meat instead of hemlock hills farm beef, go to a diner.
I love to go there for lunch ! The beer is great and food too !
Meh. Had dinner there recently, sat at the bar, enjoyed the 50’s cinema ambience, the service was fine and friendly, the wait wasn’t long, the beer selection was good. But the food was disappointing. The cheese plate is over priced. The cheese portions were minuscule, the almonds were drenched in paprika (not the best compliment to almonds), the relish condiments, while tasty, were out of ratio to the amount of cheese. My partner had the tofu sandwich. The tofu was tasty but the salad was drenched in a bitter salad dressing, which kind of ruined it. So while it was nice to find a place offering some interesting vegetarian entrees, we felt it could be so much better with just a few smart changes.
The best restaurant in the area, I have eaten here many times and brought many people for lunch and brunch here. The food is excellent and well cooked. The chicken sandwich is amazing as is the Hemlock Burger. Beer selection is phenomenal and the owners are top notch guys. If you enjoy inventive twists to classic foods you will not be disappointed.
