Spotty Dog Books & Ale

Books, beer and art supplies. Literally our favorite things. Beers were good. Seating area is small. Nice book selection in luring a kids section. A highlight of our day trip to Hudson

Like some of the others, I found the bartender would rather have been somewhere else. Stopped in for a beer and a book and couldn’t have felt more unwelcome. I can overlook the lighting as it is a bookstore and a bar. Business needs a better barkeep

Not my idea of a good mix. Enterprising concept and definitely busy, so my opinion is not cosmopolitan enough. Being 73 might have something to do with that. Few places to sit, unless you are already at the bar. Nice art supply section in the back. Bathroom is very well kept.

One of the Hudson traditions is this bookstore. First stop to get my vacation read and a pint. Tons of great books plus emphasis on local and art and just causes. Great art supply in the back.

I could sit here all afternoon drinking beer and reading. There’s a bar inside with an assortment of beer and wine. And I thought it was nice to see others sipping pints and reading too. I’ve never been to a bar/bookstore, and I think this is a lovely pairing. There’s a variety of books of all categories, so you’re sure to find something to take with you.
