Lyonshare Public House - Beacon (NY)

5 /5 Gilbert Marrero: We gathered here to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and I had already previewed the menu so I knew what I was looking forward to. The atmosphere was buzzing with life—stylish, well-dressed guests mixed with more casual “dad-bod chic” types. The setting has that trendy, small-city vibe where people-watching is half the fun, both inside and out. Based on the reviews, I decided to dress up a bit. You could easily get away with a T-shirt and jeans, but I’d recommend at least a collared shirt if you want to match the vibe. Of course, you do you. The place was lively and packed, so I highly recommend making a reservation. That said, I did notice they were accommodating walk-ins and even seating people at high-top side tables. Service was impeccable from start to finish. The menu offered mains, sides, and signature cocktails, along with a well-curated wine list. I ordered an espresso martini with mezcal—smooth, balanced, and delicious. Others in my group went for bottles of wine. For food, I had the mushroom tartine and a strip steak. Both were spot on: the tartine crisp and savory, the steak perfectly cooked to a juicy medium rare. Everything was excellent, and I’ve already told friends we’ll be returning soon.

5 /5 W. Dyer Halpern: Tops all around and in all categories. Drinks were fun and delicious. Biscuits with honey butter or right out of the old south. And the tip of the top is the porterhouse steak. As good as any restaurant in New York City. Definitely come here. Service is wonderful too. As is the atmosphere.

3 /5 Padcha Pawakuldilok: The service was excellent, drink was excellent but the food was quite disappointing. Burrata was wonderful, but the portobello Bolognese were not cooked well, and the steak came out cold, which was not what we expected for $125. However, we truly appreciate Janelle — she is the best! Love her service!

3 /5 Emily Weiler: Atmosphere and service are exceptional! Loved the live music and cozy ambiance. Waitress was super friendly. However, food was dissapointing. The salad was very small, minimal, and underdressed. The mac & cheese was pretty dry and bland. Our steak was cooked well and was tasty, but didnt taste high-quality. The most insulting was the $12 side of sauteed spinach, which was probably a cup of leaves and was not cooked through / sauteed enough.

5 /5 Andric Bowen: Lyonshare in Beacon is an absolute treasure! We visited for my partners birthday, and despite making a last-minute reservation, Nick graciously accommodated us, setting the tone for an exceptional evening. The atmosphere is effortlessly charming, chic, and cool—a perfect blend for a memorable dining experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed warmly by Bud, who introduced us to Nick. I made sure to thank Nick personally for securing our table. The hospitality was top-notch, and it only added to the magic of the night. The food was outstanding! We started with the oysters, which were fresh and delightful. Side note: happy hour 4-6 PM every day, $2 oysters!. For our main courses, I enjoyed the gnocchi, and my partner had the risotto; both were beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The menu features a great selection of wines, creative cocktails, and an impressive array of draft beers, ensuring theres something for everyone. Lyonshare has effortlessly won us over, and we cant wait to return. Whether its for a celebratory dinner or just to enjoy their unbeatable happy hour, this is a spot well keep coming back to. Highly recommend!
