Like the name implies, it’s a bar in the back of an antique shop that specializes in Malaysian small plates and tasty drinks. It also has ample outdoor seating. It might just be some of the best Asian food in Hudson, New York, and it's a perfect place to spend a warm evening. To learn more about the fun, low-key venue, keep reading below.
BackBar was created by Zak Pelaccio, who used to operate Fatty Crab in Manhattan before moving to the Hudson Valley.
It’s a perfect place to share a variety of small plates with your friends. BackBar serves mostly East and Southeast Asian dishes, including dan dan noodles, summer miso noodles, and seasonal sweet pickles.
Cocktails are creative but not overbearing, and provide refreshment on a summer night. Here Comes Brenda is made with dark and pineapple rums, velvet falernum and lime and grapefruit bitters. They also have beers and, perhaps most notably, a selection of slushies! We recommend Where There’s Smoke, which is made with mezcal and smoked agave.
There are also fun themed nights at the bar and restaurant—in the past, that has included a “bring your own backgammon” night.
In addition to more traditional Asian bites, BackBar also serves a smash burger, which is made with local beef, special space and a house Hawaiian bun. We recommend you try it with the added kimchi. Then there are the cumin-spiced tots, which is a great play on an American classic.
For those visiting from out of town, BackBar is a great place to meet some locals.
