Black Bear Saloon

Don't go here.  Food is gross.  We stopped in on a Sunday and my 6 year old said her pasta and butter tasted like someone put a foot in her food.  What does that mean?  I had the fried buffalo calamari which was delivered cold, sent back, and came back cold with a special fried black thing in the middle of it.  This place is a cash grab for booze.  Stay away!

Closed down. Best thing that could have happened to this cess pit.

Back when Black Bear opened, it was the place to be.  Good food and a great atmosphere.  I just recently returned to Nyack last night and this place turned into a much needed episode of Bar Rescue.  On the second floor your shoes stuck to the floor as if it was not cleaned in a year.  The bar was dirty and the drinks were horrible.  I'm not a top shelf person nor am I a well drinker.  I think asking for an Absolut and Cranberry would have been a drink that EVERY bar has.  I was wrong.  The bartender told me that they don't have Absolut and pushed the top shelf liquor.  In addition to that, I asked for 5 shots of chocolate cake and was told that they didn't have the liquor there.  As you walk down the stairs, the Black Bear windows needed to be washed and the signage needs to be redone.  My experience was less than disappointing.  My friends and I downed our drinks and got the heck out of there as quickly as we could.  I understood why the bar was not packed on a Friday night.
