The Red Onion Restaurant & Bar is a renowned full-service casual fine-dining establishment that offers a delightful dinner experience seven nights a week. Famous for its commitment to serving fresh, hand-made food, skillfully crafted cocktails, and a thoughtfully curated selection of beer and wines-by-the-glass, The Red Onion is a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The menu features an array of house-made pastas, delectable desserts, daily seafood specials, mouthwatering soups and sauces, and personalized vegetable garnishes.
Situated in a charming pre-1850 farmhouse along the main road between Woodstock and Saugerties, just 3 miles east of Woodstock, the restaurant boasts a rich history. Once a bustling business venue and private residence, the building is also known for its resident ghost. With a colorful past, the historic establishment was rumored to have been a “house of ill repute” in the late 19th century. Legend has it that the spirit of one of its former residents, a woman who tragically perished outside in a snow drift in 1937, continues to haunt the premises. Despite this intriguing history, most patrons now visit The Red Onion for its exceptional cuisine, inviting atmosphere, and stellar libations.
