I was now feeling hungry and thirsty, so I went to Mahoney’s, which is right next to the Poughkeepsie Metro North Station. I figured I could have my meal there and rest comfortably until it was time to get my train.

Opening its doors in 2004, Emmett Mahoney’s is a traditional Irish pub with good food and authentic Irish hospitality. We offer two levels of dining and full-service bars in this historic building, which was once the original Vassar Brewery. A section of the brewery’s grain auger can be seen as a decoration outside the back doors on the lower level. We also have 23 new flat-screen TVs for your enjoyment and free WI-FI.

In 2013, Mahoney’s opened the Vassar Room; in 2019, we opened the Claddagh Room for all social events. We host live bands, DJS, and various events regularly. We have an interactive murder mystery dinner theatre from the Acme Mystery Theater throughout the year. Did you know we have Acoustic Open Mic every Monday, The Poughkeepsie Jazz Project on Tuesdays, Wednesdays is a night of fun with Karaoke, test your knowledge with Trivia on Thursdays, and Laugh it up comedy club on most Friday and Saturday nights? Check our website for all the information.

Fridays and Saturdays are lively evening hours. Of course, our favorite celebration is St. Patrick’s Day. It’s a day to remember with traditional Irish music, bagpipers, Irish Step Dancers, and delicious food and drinks.
