Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Hudson Hall is an Eastern European beer hall with a beverage program that goes well beyond beer. The draft list spans IPAs, lagers, stouts, and sours, with local and imported options. Cocktails cover frozen drinks, martinis, mules, and spritzes, while the wine list includes orange wine, Sancerre, and Champagne. A Zero Proof section and happy hour deals round out the offerings.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Hudson Hall Lager on draft, then try the Sotol Paloma or the Frozen Margarita. For wine, the Diem D'Ora Orange is a distinctive choice. If you're not drinking alcohol, the non-alcoholic Aperol Spritz is a solid option.
