The Feathers Tavern
The Feathers Tavern, nestled within The Six Bells Countryside Inn in Rosendale, NY, is more than just a dining room—it’s the heart of the inn’s communal experience. With only 18 tables, the tavern feels intimate yet lively, welcoming guests into a richly decorated space that blends vintage charm with playful sophistication. Designed to reflect the same imaginative spirit that defines the inn, The Feathers features cozy red-cushioned corners, floral wallpaper, custom banquettes, and a sunroom-like space that invites lingering over a meal or cocktail. Seasonal menus are crafted in collaboration with consulting chef Molly Levine and head chef Larkin Young, featuring inventive yet comforting takes on classic American fare.
Guests begin their day with a complimentary European-style breakfast of soft-boiled eggs, smoked trout, and locally sourced meats and cheeses—served with thoughtful touches like coffee waiting for early risers. The evening menu is equally thoughtful, with standout dishes such as chilled buttermilk cucumber soup, oven-poached hake, roasted chicken, and corn fritters with fried sage. Creative cocktails, including the house favorite Golden Slipper, round out the offering. The Feathers also extends its experience outdoors, with a deck overlooking the Rondout Creek—perfect for seasonal dining under the open sky. Like the inn itself, The Feathers is a celebration of hospitality, imagination, and detail, offering a sense of discovery in every bite.
