Loved this place! We had wings and loaded fries as an app which were both great. We got chicken Alfredo and fried chicken for our main course which were also great- chicken was cooked very well. I had a mocktail which was awesome for someone who doesn’t drink anymore! And an amazing caramel cheesecake to top it off. On top of that all, one of the servers ran out with my disposable camera that I left behind (which pictures from our proposal on it) so 5 stars all around!!!

Always excellent! Great vibe and delicious, creative food with a great wine selection. Live music and great local art! 10/10 must go. We love the Magic Mushrooms.

Stopped in for a beer while walking around town. What a beautiful place! Brick, lighting, a tin ceiling, friendly staff, and an extensive cocktail and beer menu. I had a local pumpkin ale that was good. I hope to be back before heading out of town.

Amazing food and music! So fun to sit and eat there. Their green salad's sauce is drinkably delicious and their disco fries are divine! Such a great selection of vegan options and my meat eating boyfriend loved the burger too!

Rock Da Casbah is the best restaurant in Saugerties. If you like good food and you like a good vibe to a place it is the best place in town. Burgers were cooked to perfection without too much wait, fries perfect, and the family loved the food. Service was impeccable and competitively priced. This restaurant is the best, so go there more often and support your local businesses. Rock on

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The waitress was awesome. She was so friendly, and she immediately made you feel welcomed and at home. The soup was to die for, but nothing prepared me for the fried chicken. It was beyond anything I've ever had before. It was outrageously good. Crispy. Tasty. Everything anyone who loves homemade fried chicken could ever dream of. In a word, this place rocks. Be sure to go there for the music, food and the warm atmosphere.

Great vegetarian food. Mushroom soup and black bean chili were out of this world. Band and vibes were excellent.
