Mill House Brewing Company

About Us

The old mill district along Mill Street has always been about making things. Mill House Brewing Company carries that tradition forward, turning Hudson Valley grain and water into rotating taps of craft beer that you won't find anywhere else in Poughkeepsie. The wood-accented interior, warm lighting, and industrial-meets-rustic décor give the space a character that guests consistently mention, the kind of room that pulls you in and makes you stay for one more round.

The kitchen holds its own alongside the brewery. From a Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken to satisfying pub staples, the menu is designed to complement the beer, not just fill a plate. With a 4.5-star rating across nearly 2,000 reviews, the consistency here speaks for itself.

Mill House draws locals, day-trippers from the city, and Hudson Valley regulars alike. Whether you land a seat at the bar or claim a table inside, the atmosphere does something that's harder to manufacture than good beer: it makes a weeknight feel like an occasion.

What We Offer

The taproom anchors the experience. Rotating craft taps showcase the brewery's range, from crisp session ales to bold stouts, brewed on-site and poured fresh. The bar staff knows the lineup and can walk you through a tasting flight if you're exploring.

On the food side, the menu spans shareable appetizers, hearty entrées, and fresh salads, with enough variety to satisfy the beer-lover and the designated driver equally. Private events and group bookings are available for those looking to reserve a corner of the taproom for something special.

Mill House is open six days a week, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday until 10 PM, making it a reliable anchor for weekend plans in Poughkeepsie. Sunday service runs in two windows, so check the schedule before you head out.

"I have been to Mill House Brewing company before, but we came back today and sat inside instead of outside. I really like the atmosphere inside with the wood and the decorations and the lighting. Our server Vinny was really sweet and gave recommendations for food and beer. It was our daughter's 4th birthday and he overheard and brought her ice cream with a candle in it. The beer here is excellent as well as the food!"

"I dine out a lot of places often in many cities. Mill House Brewing was fine. There are just so many choices out there that I’m not sure I’ll be running back anytime soon. I’ve been there in the past & have sat at or in the bar area which would have earned 5 stars. The difference may have been that it was a holiday week? The food was just ok this trip. someone told us they have the best burger. This one wasn’t anything to brag about and the cook temp was off. The salad was really good though. The server we had back in July was awkward and made really weird jokes. The booth seating was a little weird too. It’s like they tried to maximize earning and fit one too many booths in the space they had. It was a bit uncomfortable. The drinks were the best part of our dinner dining experience there that night."

"We stopped here for lunch and were highly impressed by the meal and service. This rustic chic restaurant incorporates the brick and steel charm into a warm, welcoming restaurant. They have their own parking lot for guests and a public garage is across the street just in case. While it is a restaurant, it's also a brewery and they have their own separate menu for their concoctions. Although there's no designated gluten-free menu, our server, Kiona (I apologize if I'm spelling your name incorrectly) was able to assist pointing out options. When I informed her of my other dietary restrictions, she was able to alert the kitchen so they made a special pan-seared salmon with greens. It was extremely kind of them and the level of thoroughness to make sure I could eat there was outstanding. My husband ordered the Cowboy burger and was blown away from the first bite. Before leaving, we took a look at their to-go cooler of beer and grabbed a bottle and a small souvenir. I highly recommend having a bite and a drink at this restaurant and brewery. If we're in the area again, we would absolutely stop by again."

Food was good and he enjoyed the beer. I found the cost of our food expensive for what we got. The waitress was very polite."
