Looking for the best ideas for a bachelor party or bachelorette party in the Hudson Valley? Find a central location with its own bar and restaurant, like Hutton Brickyards in Kingston, so you have the most creative activities nearby. Many local vendors have special packages for parties, too.

River Pavilion, the waterfront open-air restaurant at Hutton Brickyards, checks all the boxes: It’s date-friendly, pet-friendly, family-friendly, and event-friendly (you can book the space). The brunch and dinner menus have local, seasonal fare — trout, burgers, pizza, salads, and a killer brunch menu. Beer, wine and cocktails too.
