The Bear Café

For one of our few ventures out during this COVID life, we decided to try the new Burger night at the Bear Cafe. It turned out to be a snowy evening in Woodstock and that seemed to keep away most of the clientele, to our isolationist delight. Our host/server Aidan was pleasant and efficient. Obviously, we ordered the Burgers which were delivered, cooked to our requested doneness. They are made from Kilcoyne Farms beef and were good but considering the toppings of caramelized onions, garlic aioli, and gruyere, were a little bland. They also come with fries, not mentioned in the menu. Burger Night includes a glass of beer as well as the burger! The steelhead trout tartare appetizer was well received, and the gluten free cranberry tart, and affogatto rounded off the meal very nicely. It is a beautiful setting, located in the renovated former Little Bear building. A stones throw from their former location which is now the Bear Cantina. I am so pleased that the restoration of this wonderful complex, hosting several dining choices and an amazing performance venue, The Bearsville Theatre (of course), seems nearly complete!
