Benny Havens Pub & Restaurant

Lol. Some of these reviews are off the charts. The staff are phenomenal and yes, it takes cash only but it’s not the end of the world. Most definitely the spot to go to!

Visiting my mother in the neighborhood, went in and met shaun, very friendly, awesome atmosphere and great drinks ;-). Gotta try the food, they have the best burgers and wings in town, all fresh!

We love Benny Havens in Highland Falls ... came first during my father's 75th reunion at West Point in May 2025, and have been back twice since. Love the burgers and love the atmosphere. Love how they make you feel at home.

Great staff, enjoyable bar when you're visiting the west point area.

Spent an evening catching up with an old friend and Sean (the bartender) took great care of us! The kitchen was closed (food sold out hours before our arrival), but that didn't put a damper on the hospitality. If you like "old school" bars, you can't beat Benny Havens. Say "Hi" to Sean and get treated like family.

I was staying outside the academy in a local motel in 2010. while working with a traveling company that made rubber gymnasium floors and was working inside academy for 5-6 months. Due to the town outside the Base being so underdeveloped back then, there was only the shell gas station a Walgreens and a rite Aid. And like 3 or 4 local bars.. And Benny Havens pub was the place to be!!! Even the candidates would leave the inside of the West point academy to venture to Benny's! It has a real authentic old time surrounding and Irish style atmosphere, with WONDERFUL staff as Dave the bartender was there to make you feel like your at home! As a matter of face, he is still there today! The owner is kind and vary friendly! And the place was busy most of the time with friendly people who love there sports!! Food is like a 5 star restaurant and the only place I loved to go while able to go anywhere else in or outside the academy! I am from the Great lakes in Minnesota and Benny's made me feel like I was seriously still at home! Love this pub and hope to one day travel back to visit! ❤️ Thanks Benny Haven for the GREATEST experience ever!

Benny Havens treats you like family. ALL of the staff are wonderful, drinks are reasonably priced, food is good. Best burgers & wings in town. And did I mention the staff? THE BEST.

Finest bar in town. Great friends with all of the bartenders here. There’s a pool table, space for beer pong games, and even virtual bowling; so if you’re looking for entertainment on the side as well, this is the place to be.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with kindness. The atmosphere is awesome, bartender's attitude was welcoming and we had a blast. Not to mention the food was beyond delicious, best tasting burger, fries and wings anywhere we have been. I highly recommend.

Beautiful vintage dive with solid wings (wet sauce hot Buffalo), solid locals that are genuine (if you’re genuine back), and a bathroom that sports a vintage 1950’s urinal troth. A much appreciated pub in an otherwise wasteland of a town.

Irish Pub to the core! You walk in the door and you feel at home. If you're the snooty type then move on down the street. I've been going there fo 20 years. Same owner for 35 years. Must be doing something right. If you have the gift of blarney, and a twinkle in your eye, Benny's your place.

I've been coming here since they opened in the early 80's. Our families have a long history. It's a cozy bar with friendly staff, and good pub food. It's a great place to watch a game with friends, and on non game days, it's quieter and you can catch up with a friend.

Wife and I enjoyed our stop here while visiting from out of town. Wings were average but tasty. Cash only with an ATM machine located inside. Seemed like the place where locals would hang out and I could see it probably gets very busy when classes are in session. Didn't see any prices listed so check before you order. Service was good for the type of establishment. We were able to walk from a nearby motel.

What Benny Havens has going for it is nothing. Meaning nothing special, no gimick, no polish, no flash. Benny Havens has grit and authenticity born of being, dare I say authentic. If anything stands out it is it is the name of the place and it's association with West Point and it's cadets that hold that name dear. The locals seem to hold this place dear and the owner holds true to those moorings. They have a simple lay out and regalia born of time, a little dirty, a little local and a lot friendly, Frank and welcoming. Beer, spirits, burgers and wings. That's it and that is all that is needed!

Local dive. Super friendly locals. Good beer. Decor is lacking. Pool table looks like it has around since West Point was founded. Loved the juke box.

Good local bar. It's exactly what you expect in a small town. Friendly service and fair priced drinks. Not sure how many shots the bartender had with customers, but whatever works.

No frills local bar, I guess you could call it a dive. Seems like it could be a fun spot on a Friday night or during a game. We walked in on a Friday afternoon and the bartender/server was extremely unpleasant and rude. He clearly wasn't interested in working so we ended up leaving.

By far one of the worst experience I have dealt with in the past 5 years. I walked in yesterday around 10pm and the older white gentlemen with the white beard comes out and say he does not server credit and we don’t do TABS. I used it I be regular there. The place has totally gone down hill. Even the air is bad. Go 6 miles down the road. The bars in stony point get customer service and need hood customers.

Raw chicken. Server could care less and way over charged for the experience. Food menu has no prices on it, Obviously a locals only bar and we paid the price for invading their space in this cash only dive.

I feel like I was at the range in Fort Leonard Wood in their restrooms🥲🥲. Ate cardboard chicken. Cash Only probably (tax evasion), it’s 2025 haha we not idiots, with no prices on what they call a menu. Price gouging for sure. I bet if I go back and order the exact same thing it would be a different price 😂😂😂
