PM Wine Bar

Sadly PM Wine Bar is no more. Kevin has closed this classy Hudson bar, much to everyone’s disappointment.

This place is amazing — top notch! Sophisticated and beautiful with just the right amount of edge, and always exceeds expectations. Quiet enough to talk, good people watching, just the right size to seem special. The bartender has the perfect classic personal touch to know what to do and say… to perfection! Wine list is superb. It is nearly impossible these days to find a place/​owner that seems to want to give vs take… this is it!

Popped into PM on Saturday with some friends on a day trip from NYC. What a pleasant surprise! I’ve been coming to Hudson for years and never knew this place was here. Kevin, the owner/​bartender was charming and friendly. The wine selection was good and the complimentary cheese/​crudite was a nice touch. The patrons were fun and friendly. A very welcome respite in Hudson — very nice mixed crowd in a good upscale casual environment. We will definitely be back soon.

This place is comfortable and homey, and the bartender (owner?) is delightful. The wine list is just OK.

Went to this bar at 8pm on a saturday night and it was empty. Not so much wine on the list for a wine bar… And there was no tapas, only a little «buffet» on the side that was not appealing at all. Will not come back.

If you’re looking to rest your feet after a long day of antiquing on Warren Street, PM Wine Bar is the place. It’s a got a classy, mellow vibe that attracts a nice mix of friendly locals and day-​trippers. The bar is cozy enough that you’re almost certain to strike up a conversation, especially after your first glass of wine from Kevin’s nicely curated list. I was so busy reading the wine list scrawled on the mirror that I almost missed the complimentary spread of fruit, cheese and crackers on the opposite wall. Prices are reasonable, pours are generous, and people are friendly … what more could you ask for in a wine bar?

We visited this quaint, friendly and relaxed wine bar while on an overnight trip to Hudson. Kevin was really friendly and gave us some great recommendations.
Recommended if you’re in the mood for a great glass of wine (or four) and a relaxed place to drink it.

This place is outstanding.
We came up from NYC last weekend; PM Wine Bar was highly recommended to us by a friend and online reviews, and it didn’t disappoint. There was a great selection of wine and complimentary snacks. The atmosphere was great — Kevin was a fun and interactive bartender, and he’s created a great wine bar. I’m sure this place gets its share of NYC weekenders, but on the night we were there (a snowy winter night) it was mostly locals. We didn’t feel at all unwelcome — on the contrary, everyone was really friendly and fun. If you want to be social you can sit at the bar and chat with others, but if you want a more cozy retreat there’s a lounge-​type room in the back.
The wine is delicious. For a more unusual experience try the absinthe — served by this really cool contraption.
This place is a must for visitors to Hudson.

My partner & I swung into Hudson for an impromptu weekend and just as we were saying that one could make a killing if they opened a gay bar here… we stumbled upon the closest thing. Kevin was very kind and accommodating to us. We were just a bit fussy about what wine to go with and he was cool. We sat in the back room and enjoyed the perfect tunes… old & mellow… as we sipped great wine and nibbled the bites he put out as a complimentary pre-​dinner spread. It was affirming to see Kevin take such pride in his space and we wish him well. Use the chalk in the bathroom and write an inspirational message before you leave. Whimsical and relaxed spot. Attractive to anyone & everyone.

If you are in search of a Beautiful glass of wine this is the place.

Returned here after several months. Unwelcoming atmosphere unless you’re one of the chosen regulars. Wine selection pretty sad. Definitely a business opportunity for another wine bar in Hudson.

On Sunday, August 11, 2012, a group of at least 15 women came into this establishment near 4pm. It was in celebration of a bridal shower. There was 1 gentleman sitting at the bar, who wound up being the only nice person in the bar. He was congratulatory towards the two women celebrating another stepping stone towards their union and unfortunately the same gratitude was not expressed by the bartender/​OWNER of the bar. Putting all that aside, we probably just paid the utility bill for the place in a span of two hours. He was borderline rude the entire time we were there. Upon entering, we made it a fun place, even trying to engage him to no avail. Instead we were presented with a piss poor attitude. Now based on the previous responses, I will assume the premise that he was not «having a bad day», but is just an unfriendly person, in general. No one felt welcomed and quite to the contrary felt very awkward even being there. It is a shame that when patrons walk through your doors, that they get this feeling. This is bad business and to you, owner, I would re-​evaluate your business model and lighten up.

This place has such potential! The lure of this quaint wine bar is the décor and atmosphere. It’s very cozy and family like. The back room was my favorite. It’s as if you’re sitting in someones living room.
I also appreciated the array of vine and varieties.
My main complaint about this place was the unfriendly service from the bartender/​owner. It was my first time to Hudson, NY and I was inquiring about the bars history as well as the town and he couldn’t have been more rude and cold. I’m sorry, I thought bartenders, especially the owner of a bar would be much more engaging or at least friendly. I would understand if the bar was crowded but it was not. I would love to go back there, and I’m hoping the owner/​bartender had an off night, because it is very cute place.

We’re newcomers to Hudson, and were so glad to discover pm. How great to have a local bar where locals feel at home, and also have a knowledgeable wine aficionado as the owner. Straights, gays, and everyone in between … This is the place!

Friendly and relaxed… not cheap, but you’re paying in part for the ambience, the crowd, and for the quality of the drinks. No Sutter wines or Michelob Light here.

OK, much better the second time! We’ll put the lousy service from our first visit down to unfortunate circumstances. Nice wine, reasonably priced — and served in beautiful glasses — and pretty good food (though maybe a little overpriced)? Overall, a nice addition to the Hudson dining/​drinking scene.
[old review follows] Had great hopes for this place, based on other reviews. Looked great when we arrived Sat. around 9 pm – pleasant, well-​designed space and people clearly enjoying themselves. There was plenty of room in the place but a crush by the door, and no host/​wait staff in sight, so I had to ask another customer if this was a private event. Nope. Made our way to a table, waited a bit, had to approach the bar to ask if food was still being served. Woman from behind the bar brought a single, soiled, stapled list and deposited it without a word. After another 10 mins or so, and after many hopeful looks toward the bar, no one glanced our way or offered to take an order, though two people behind the bar helped themselves to drinks and chatted at length with customers there. I suppose we could have been more aggressive trying to find out what the procedure for ordering was supposed to be, but we distinctly felt unwelcomed, and we left.
I hope I’ll be able to change this review after a future visit — plan to give it one more try.

Went there last evening for a pre-​dinner drink and it was great. Candlelit, nice atmosphere, and lovely staff. To the bartender: thanks for letting us try the absinthe!

Great selection of wine (and in all price ranges)
Awesome and tasty snacks, and best of all the sweetest friendliest service!
My only complaint is that its kind of small, and you can’t always get a place to sit.
Last time I was there they had some musicians in the corner playing folk music. It was awesome, but we stood akwardly for a good 20 minutes, waiting patiently for some older folks to vacate so we could get some nibbles and have a place to rest the plate!

Nice wine list, great mixologists, they have 2 types of absinthe and the back room is Perfect for a small gathering.

Beautifully decorated, intimate wine bar with good, friendly service. We enjoyed two (generously poured) flights of wine here while in town for the weekend. Nice selection and variety of wines at pretty reasonable prices.
Wish we had been able to come back for a meal, guess we’ll just have to return next time we decide to retreat from the city for a weekend!
