GREAT LIVE MUSIC & FINE FOOD in NY's Hudson Valley since 1972
Since 1972 the Towne Crier Cafe, now in Beacon, NY, has been bringing the finest in live folk, jazz, blues, Celtic, bluegrass, cajun, zydeco and world music to Dutchess County in the Hudson Valley.
Our famous desserts are prepared by renowned pastry chef Mary Ciganer, formerly of Le Cirque in NYC.

Our performance space is spacious but intimate—bringing you what the NY Times called “Down-home access to world-class performers.” Our fine-dining menu emphasizes fresh, local and natural ingredients. And our legendary desserts will have you tweeting OMGs.

After more than four decades in Dutchess County, the Towne Crier Cafe is the oldest venue of its kind under continuous management.
