Nestled along the Hudson River, Red Hat on the River has been delighting guests since 2003 with American modern bistro cuisine and breathtaking waterfront views—nearly every seat captures the scenery. Housed in a beautifully restored factory building, the space blends historic charm and contemporary warmth, featuring cozy banquettes, a pewter bar, and WPA-era artwork reminiscent of a turn-of-the-century Parisian bistro.What began as a Main Street bistro has evolved into a vibrant riverfront destination, complete with a rooftop bar, while remaining true to its mission of exceptional hospitality. The menu highlights Italian and French–inspired classics such as chicken milanese, pasta, steak frites, moules frites, and the signature Red Hat burger, alongside seasonal salads, seafood, craft cocktails, local beers, and old-world wines. Red Hat on the River also offers stunning spaces for private events, from corporate gatherings to elegant weddings.
