2 Best Bars in Windham, The Catskills

With beamed ceilings and huge windows, this pub at the Windham Country Club is the opposite of a hole in the wall and one of the area’s prime locations for grabbing a beer with friends. There are draft beers on tap and a full menu of burgers and other favorites for lunch and dinner. The best thing here is the umbrella-shaded terrace, where you can take in glorious sunset views.

Serving up its own microbrews, as well as a chalkboard full of other craft beers, Cave Mountain Brewing Company is a popular stop after hitting the slopes or driving through the countryside. It's in a slender storefront building where you can choose between a stool at the bar or a cozy booth. Locals rave about the burgers and other pub grub and the live music several nights a week.
