About Us

Outdoor seating area with drinks and greenery in the background.

There's a reason Schatzi's has earned nearly a thousand reviews and a 4.5-star reputation on 202 Main Street. People don't stumble in here once and forget about it. They come back, they bring friends, and they tell their coworkers about the draft list on Monday morning. The staff is genuinely friendly, the portions are the kind that make you loosen your belt, and the bier garden out back gives Poughkeepsie something it doesn't have anywhere else: a proper outdoor drinking spot that feels like it was lifted from a Bavarian side street.

The pub side delivers the warm, lived-in energy of a neighborhood bar that actually knows its regulars. Whether you grab a stool at the bar or claim a table outside, you'll find a rotating selection of craft drafts worth exploring, food that lands with real flavor, and a crowd that runs from after-work professionals to weekend regulars who treat the garden like their backyard. It's casual without being careless, and that balance is harder to pull off than it looks.

What We Offer

Schatzi's Pub and Bier Garden covers every angle of a great evening out. The draft beer program is the anchor: a rotating lineup of well-chosen brews on tap, from German-style lagers to local Hudson Valley crafts, served cold and poured properly. The food menu backs it up with generous, satisfying portions that hold their own as a full meal, not just bar snacks to keep you drinking.

The bier garden is its own draw, especially in warmer months, offering open-air seating on Main Street with the kind of atmosphere that turns a Tuesday into a memory. Inside, the bar is a full-service hub with attentive staff and a comfortable, unpretentious layout. Schatzi's is the right call for after-work drinks, a casual dinner date, weekend afternoon pints starting at noon on Saturday and Sunday, or any night you want something better than the usual.

"Schatzi’s makes every trip to Poughkeepsie worth it. The staff is very friendly and the food was delicious as always. The only knocks I would have was wait time and temperature inside the restaurant. Our meal took over half an hour but it was definitely worth the wait. It was also really cold which wasn’t great."

"Schatzi’s offers a nice draft list of some good beer, good sized portions, and friendly staff. We got seats at the bar and had good service the entire time. We were given the wrong specials menu which was disappointing because one of the specials sounded perfect for me but I got the Schatzi’s burger instead and it was a bit dry. Slightly overdone and not enough of their sauce, I think the potato pancake on top absorbs it and left the rest of the burger dry. Great sized meal though. My wife got the fried chicken sandwich and it was pretty good. We would stop again and see what’s new next time we are in Poughkeepsie."

"We came in around 5pm on a weekday and sat outside. For only a handful of tables, the service was a little slow, the waiter took our appetizer order and walked away, then felt like he was trying not to make eye contact so I had to loudly call him over to order the rest of our food. For appetizers, we got the cheese pierogies and the frickles. The pierogies were tasty but had a lot of oil on them and the frickles had a thick batter that I wasn't expecting and didn't like. We didn't finish them. I would try a different appetizer next time instead of either of these. I like reuben sandwiches and LOVED this twist of the meat being cubed, not sliced. It made it much more tender. I would come back just for this sandwich. The cheddar bratwurst was also good, and we liked the parm fries better than the regular, though both were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside."

"Called and placed a to-go order, mind you on Valentine's Day when most places are turning away to go orders completely. Very accommodating and friendly. Orders the Sauerbraten meatballs with cheesey spaetzle. Asked for Jaeger sauce instead of the Sauerbraten gravy, just a personal preference, and there was no hesitation on their end to make the substitution. The meatballs were tender and some of the best I've ever had. Also ordered the cheddar broccoli pierogi and the The Other Guy Burger for the family and everything was delicious. Would absolutely recommend to anyone."
