About Flying Goose Tavern

In the heart of Kerhonkson, Flying Goose Tavern is a neighborhood bar that celebrates the evolving character of this Hudson Valley hamlet. The tavern takes its name from the Lenape translation of “Kerhonkson” — Flying Goose — a nod to the area’s deep local roots. Designed as both a welcoming hangout and a bridge between old and new residents, the tavern offers hand-crafted cocktails, local beers, and an approachable wine list, all served in an inviting space that evokes the timeless feel of a classic pub. Inside, warm hunter-green beadboard walls, a soft white oak bar, and a hand-painted mural celebrating Kerhonkson’s history create an atmosphere that feels like it’s “always been here.”

More than a bar, Flying Goose serves as a gathering place — a modern-day town square where families, friends, and newcomers can connect over good drinks and good company. The menu, curated with care, includes everything from a $4 Montucky Cold Snack to well-crafted classics like martinis and old fashioneds, plus rotating wines on tap and by the glass. Pop-up food offerings, such as Southeast Asian street fare from Eat Church, add to the dynamic, community-driven spirit. In the warmer months, the action moves outdoors to the backyard along the Rondout Creek, where native plantings, games, and picnic tables make it a natural extension of the tavern’s hospitality.

With its blend of history, inclusivity, and small-town charm, Flying Goose Tavern embodies the best of Kerhonkson’s next chapter — a place where everyone is welcome, conversation flows as easily as the beer, and community comes first.
