At 82 John Street, Kingston, NY 12401, in the historic Stockade District, Rough Draft Bar & Books blends an indie bookstore's charm with a neighborhood bar's energy. Shelves of new releases and staff picks frame a cozy room where the buzz of conversation meets the clink of glassware. The bar pours New York craft beer and cider, thoughtful wines, and espresso drinks, with pastries and snacks to fuel an evening out.
The venue's intimate setup makes every event feel personal. Expect a curated calendar of author talks, poetry nights, trivia, and acoustic sets from Hudson Valley artists and touring acts. Seating mixes cafe tables, bar stools, and window nooks, with limited standing room, so arriving early is smart for the best view. Metered street parking and nearby municipal lots serve the area, and the neighborhood's walkable blocks make pre-show browsing and post-show conversation part of the experience. Check individual listings for age policies, door times, and any book-with-ticket bundles.
