Padrona

"Stopped in a drink with my wife. Stayed longer than we planned on. Padrona is a nice place to relax and meet with friends. Atmosphere is great, staff friendly. Definitely make this a must stop when in Hudson."

"First visit was a two thumbs up experience! Relatively quiet night with less than 20 patrons, so service wasn’t compromised. We were even warned our dishes might be a little late due to the kitchen accommodating an allergy request! BIG kudos on both fronts for that level of service. Will definitely return!"

"I had an excellent experience at Padrona. First of all, and perhaps most important for a cocktail place, the drinks were as interesting as they were good. In addition, the nibbles -- it's really more nibbles than full-blown meals -- were really tasty. I had the pickled vegetables and the marinated sardines, and it made for a fine light bite. What really distinguishes the places, though, is the atmosphere. Yeah, yeah. Atmosphere. I get it. But the setting, with its midcentury furniture, is fun, and I had a great conversation with the owner and local bar celeb, Kat Dunn. Not bad for a late drink-and-nosh after getting off the train in Hudson..."

"Very friendly and warm atmosphere. Every cocktail was exceptionally good - we had to order a second round to try others. However, the food is largely a miss. Duck rillette was pre-frozen, and the $24 canned trout was very disappointing. Crab and artichoke dip was ok. Would definitely go back for a drink!"

"Local seasonal menu that is not typical with all kinds of special hot dogs and toppings, would recommend it to try and see if it’s your type of a place. Friendly staff and lovely outside seating in yellow with huge red flowers all over. Loved the whole thing. Ordered special hot dog if the day."
