I experienced wonderful moments at this place over the course of a month. I used to come to this establishment in the evening to relax after a demanding day spent at the art residency. Amazing people, fantastic food, excellent beer. I hope to return there someday and reconnect with the 'old' friends. Wishing Lantern lots of relaxed evenings. Paul from Czech republic ;-*

An amazing establishment with great food, great people and an authentic New York vibe. There is a bouncy house for the kids to play on, and beautiful outdoor and indoor seating where people can socialize. Craft drinks, pool, and antiques galore make this place a great stop in the Hudson Valley.

Congenial atmosphere with locals and weekenders mingling, bonfire in the backyard, along with bounce house. Pool table and three arcade video games. Local microbrews on tap. Friendly staff. Food is variable; usually it comes out good, though they run out of items frequently.

Auto charging 20% gratuity on orders above $50 is ridiculous. I have no problem tipping for good service. I am happy to tip more than 20% for excellent service. Customers have to fetch their own plates, napkins, waters and must go to the bar to get their own drinks, yet you force gratuity on them. Oh yeah, customers also clear their own tables. What are you thinking? This is a huge turnoff. Pay your employees and stop stealing from your customers.

Some of our pizzas were meh...the kale one specifically was blegh. The mushroom sausage pizza was damn good. Atmosphere is cute as heck and full of families and has a shuffleboard? table. The outdoor eating space was really gorgeous.Vegetarian options: Lots of yummy veggies pizzas.

Had a great meal at The Lantern! We were seven people, ordered almost all of the pizzas, a salad, and a burger as well as numerous drinks from the bar. We particularly liked the carbonara pizza and good local beers on draft. Excited to come back and hang out in the back yard area with the picnic tables and fire. Pizzas are around $15. Some say this is pricey, but it's hard to find good casual food in the area. Lots of the fine dining restaurants (and some more mediocre ones) charge $15 for an entree and $30 for a main so I'd say this is a pretty good deal for the very high quality!

Fast friendly service from knowledgeable staff, tasty pizzas and salads that were simple but left us wanting more.

Love this place! They make excellent wood fired pizzas but best of all, for my wife they make their own gluten free pasta. It is home made fresh when you order. The owner is super nice and very engaging. The inside bar/dining area is now open which is great. They have a lovely outdoor area with a fire pit and music. We plan on hitting the Latern weekly! Definitely worth checking out.

Nice outdoor dining area. Friendly staff. The pizzas vary by which one. The meat based pizzas are excellent. I had the rattlesnake pizza and it was awesome. The vegetarian pizzas need some additional toppings such as garlic, olives and onions to raise up the flavor profiles. The wine selection is good. Currently all the dining is outside or takeout. Well worth a visit.

The "old time" bar atmosphere.Definitely a "must" when you want a beer or adult beverage and pizza, wings or any of the other wonderful menu items.An "old haunt".You can feel the stories in the old wood floors, the bar and even in the old phone booth.The tales, the loves, the friends the Lantern holds ..........sigh.......♥️

Among the top 3 pies in Dutchess County. Great bar, nice crew, focused menu, all delicious (especially grilled ceasar & pastas). The backyard dining at twilight in the summer is perfect. Easy for those of all ages & palates to enjoy.

My favorite bar in the whole Hudson Valley, the burger is incredible, the pizza is excellent and has a great selection of local brews. Adult slushee is highly recommended. Staff is kind and welcoming. Outdoor area is fantastic to spend time with friends or make new ones.

The owners are friendly and entertaining. The food is delicious, light crispy crust on the pizza, with just the right amount of chewy crust. The toppings are complex and surprising. A favorite is the Dazed and Confused, a mushroom explosion!

Delicious thin crust pizza 🍕. Nice open outdoor seating. Would definitely go back when I'm in the area.Kid-friendliness: Good place for kids to roam free.

Excellent pizzas (crust had just the right level of char from the oven) and a very solid burger. Fries are wonderfully crisp and the beer list is on the shorter side, but is well curated. Plentiful outdoor seating and lightning fast service.

Absolutely love this place! Short wait, fast service, good food, great drinks, friendly staff. Also the outdoor dining area is beautiful! Nestled in under the trees next to a creek, and the tables are spread out far apart enough so each group has their own little area. Highly recommend!

Wonderful wood-fired pizzas, great backyard with picnic tables and a bonfire. And a giraffe bouncy house !

The outdoor seating was enjoyable on the nice summer afternoon I dined at The Lantern. The live music really added to the experience. I was excited to try the very unique pizza creations - had the one with Kale, which was a little too charred for my preference but my friend liked it. The local beer was good.

Very cool country bar with huge pizza hall and beer garden. Very family friendly. Pizza is great and they have some good local brews. Eat inside in the pizza hall at long tables or outside in the beer garden whilst the kids run around on the bouncy castle. Bliss with kids.

Fun place with comfortable atmosphere. Great outdoors space with picnic tables, fire pit, stage for live music, and space for kids to run around (if you like that kind of thing). Wings and pizza were very good. This is more than just a bar. Seems like a beer garden/pub/restaurant/event space. Very enjoyable and comfortable.

Absolutely incredible food. Very interesting topping combinations. The fries might be the best I've ever had tbh. It's the quality of food you'd expect from a bougie place in Manhattan but it's in a lovely small town. Also in the evenings there's often a fire on the patio, making eating outside much more pleasant.

Welcoming vibe, great bar staff, food & cocktails are on point. There's a pool table and plenty of space to sprawl (esp outdoor space). Very close to Wassaic Metro North station.

Great place, delicious well crafted food (pizza and other options), nice outdoor space and a great staff. Good for kids early in the evening. Later on weekends it's a typical bar scene. Billiard table is a plus. Kenny Rogers Clock with hat lamp is a double plus.

Have had several awesome pizzas here along with a nice rotation of beer to choose from. Very good martinis. Great vibes in the space, overall.

Went here for the first time last night -- sat at the bar and had an awesome meal and great cocktails. And the manager Ming is a gem!

Staff was extreamly rude and unpleasant for no reason. Seemed like they had no desire to be there or to make pizza. Pizza was mediocre at best. Burnt crust but not crispy if you understand pizza this is undesirable. Portions are tiny for the price. 15 dollars for a personal pizza. Very loud obnoxious music made it hard to hear the person next to me. Bar tender and beer was good, thats it. Wont be back. For real pizza see new haven

Fresh good food! Can be pricey but worth it if treated properly.But unfortunately some of the employees have horrific bedside manner and such rude demeanors. The one guy who did the orders at the outdoor register must've woken up from the wrong side of the bed not sure what his deal was.
