We loved our time at Cardinal! Best bratwurst hotdogs ever!! Very friendly staff & the owners, one a gifted musician herself, are a huge support to the live music community. We'll be back soon!
Great place to stop at. Staff was really friendly & she walked us through some of their beers. Nice selection of beer & I really like the way they have the tiles behind the taps to label & draw on. The space is open & welcoming, my daughter was having a blast using the giant jenga blocks to build things. Nice setup for music too. Both of the beers we got were delightful, I had the stout & my wife had the amber. The amber had a nice rich malty flavor.
We also ordered their nachos & olive plate. The olive plate was a lot more than I had expected with a nice variety of olives. The nachos were layered really well, almost every chip had cheese or something on it. The corn was an interesting touch, but the red sauce was delicious. I'm really glad we took a slight detour to stop here as it was well worth it. Also the free wifi is a nice touch.
Très bon choix de bières maison, un arrêt idéal pour une petite pause touristique ou une bonne bière en lisant un livre ou écouter les musiciens live! Le menu demeure simple de style casse croûte.

Microbrasserie Cardinal is a little GEM in the middle of Hudson & a must visit!
Very down to earth, with it's arty vibes, local live music, trivia, outdoor summer seating (also super cool & cozy in Winter) creates an unforgettable charm to connect with people & life:)
You will encounter so much fun, music but most important a selective collection of different beers. (Oktoberfest-Märzen 👍🏻🍺)
Beer lovers you will for sure find what you are looking for & for those who love music never a tune short. A very lively & superb experience👌🏻!
Just had an amazing experience at their open mic! The owners have obviously done a lot of work to make a wonderful community of music & beer around this town.
Lovely place. Fun for all. Board games, card games, coloring books & more to keep busy while enjoying a pint. Dogs are welcome 🐶. Food was good & not ridiculously priced either & the kids loved the music instruments.
