"Cocktail Grove" Now Opened at Hudson Valley Distillers

 

Hudson Valley Distillers opened their new cocktail lounge, the Cocktail Grove, opened Friday, January 9, 2015. There's a lovely menu of drinks. The bar is made of 100 year old wood stripped from the original bar. Spacious enough to hold a fair amount of people but intimate enough for you to have a fabulous cocktail with your significant other.
 
 
The Cocktail Grove is opened from 3 to 8pm for drinks Wed-Sat, every week.

Owners Thomas Yozzo and Chris Moyer met in 1990 as fraternity brothers at Bloomsburg University. In 2009 Thomas suggested they start a distillery. Chris started to research the emerging craft distilling industry, and after discovering the industry was growing rapidly, the two got serious. In 2012, Chris moved his family from Northern Virginia to Red Hook, NY and in July 2013 the two purchased a small farm and apple orchard in Clermont, NY and named it Spirits Grove Farm.     Spirits Grove Farm was previously used as a nursery and came with a house, retail center, 100 year old barn, a four acre apple orchard, and four greenhouses.

 
Hudson Valley Distillers enjoys an excellent reputation as a young but highly accomplished producer here in the valley. This new Cocktail Lounge is an excellent treat! A great place to meet friends, have a quiet drink, or a raucous good time. Sip cocktails, tour the distillery, and have a great time!
