Duffy's Dockside Kingston Reviews
Overall, a decent pub for a nice evening hangout within a reasonable budget. We were visiting Kingston and spent the evening of Christmas eve at this bar (mostly because many of our preferred options were closed for the evening). But once inside, we felt at home. Luke is a fantastic bartender. He kept us engaged throughout our 3-hour stay. Some of our preferred drinks, (especially scotch) were not available. Actually, most pricier drinks were missing from the shelf. It seemed it was by policy rather than an exception. So level set your expectations of drinks accordingly. But this lack of pricier drinks in no way dampened our visit. The pub is housed in a pretty old building. It has 3 TVs, a dart game, a juke box and a electro-mechanical game whose name i do not know (but Luke was nice enough to offer us free credits for play :) ). Group of what looked like regulars were having fun with the darts and juke box and dancing. Overall, we had a decent outing that hardly made any dents to our wallets. Only complain if any - my choice on the jukebox wouldn't play even after 2-hrs because it seems Jukebox is constantly hogged. My 2-credits were wasted :). Postcript: Luke even handed a memorabilia that he had hand-crafted. It seems he has penchant for crafting out. Thank you Luke.
Duffy's Dockside Tavern is a very entertaining place . Games on 3 televisions , dart board , great juke box Luke is a great bartender and the customers are very friendly
Apart from the lovely creekside views of the Rondout the premier reason to hit Duffy's place is weekday legendary Ktown bartender Donnie Spada who has a story about everyone you know and some you don't

No where to sit on 4th of July, I didn't care for this place!!!, check it for yourself!!!, it more might be different now.
This place was an affront to the senses. It was lit like a cafeteria instead of a bar.
