The Hudson House

What The Hudson House does

The Hudson House & Distillery is a privately held destination hospitality business operating from a single property at 1835 Route 9W in West Park, New York. Founded in 2015, it combines an on-site small-batch distillery producing limited batch spirits (including the Black Creek Bourbon sub-brand and rye variants) with a full-service restaurant and bar (The Kitchen at Hudson House) that serves seasonal, locally sourced continental fare, brunch, dinner, and craft cocktails built on its own spirits. The venue operates Wednesday through Sunday with a Friday happy hour, and accommodates private events and weddings under a dedicated Event Director.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model across multiple on-site and digital revenue streams: restaurant and bar sales, on-site and online retail spirits, branded merchandise, digital gift cards, paid distillery tours, and event/wedding hosting. Pricing is pay-as-you-go, with brunch items in the $16-$24 range and dinner entrees in the $25-$30 range; groups of six or more incur a 20% gratuity. Distribution is anchored at the physical venue with extension into national DTC e-commerce through a dedicated online spirit shop and a separate merchandise storefront, supplemented by an Instagram and Facebook presence and an email newsletter for promotional reach.

The company is small (1-10 employees), independently owned with no institutional investors or parent company disclosed, and has raised a single $235,800 round in December 2021 with undisclosed investors. Markets served are concentrated in the Hudson Valley region of New York State, though the online spirit shop and merchandise storefront extend the addressable market nationally. Customer segments are horizontal: Dining and Experience Seekers, Event Hosts, and Spirits Enthusiasts, with no enterprise or named-account customers. No AI, software, or digital product capabilities are disclosed; the core technology is traditional small-batch distillation and food-and-beverage hospitality operations.
