About this place Goodnight Kenny

Goodnight Kenny is an LGBTQ+- and women-owned cocktail bar at 27 Academy Street, just off Main Street in downtown Poughkeepsie. It's the closest thing the city has to a dedicated queer bar. Expect a relaxed neighbourhood room and a creative cocktail list, not a dance club. The crowd mixes LGBTQ+ locals, Vassar and Marist people and visitors from around the Hudson Valley. Poughkeepsie has no gay nightclub, so this is where the local queer social scene meets. No hours are listed, so check the website or socials before making a trip. Google reviewers rate it about 4.7.

This is a great hangout local spot in Poughkeepsie . I was looking for something low key but still about the cocktails, a nice spot that can have the vibes on a weekend and on the weekday a nice quiet vibe. The bartenders are great, charismatic and make great drinks. You’d never think at first glance this is a great little spot. I would definitely recommend and bring my friends here!

Could not say more great things about this place! The cocktails are so thoughtful and fun ! We had a bartender I believe named Tyler that was just so great all night !! Will definitely be back when I’m in the area!

This is one of my favorite spots to unwind during the week. It’s never overly crowded, which makes it the perfect place to relax after a long day without feeling overwhelmed. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive, and the cocktails are even better. At around $13, the drinks feel like a steal for the quality. My go-to is the Penichillin, it’s a scotch and whiskey cocktail with ginger and (I think) a hint of pineapple, and I can’t seem to order anything else because it’s that good. I keep telling myself I’ll branch out, but this one has me in a chokehold. 10/10, definitely recommend if you’re looking for a low-key spot with seriously good drinks!
