Bring Your Own Beer (or Wine) in Potown



Anyone who has traveled to Montreal knows it has an amazing selection of
“bring your own wine” restaurants. This allows you to choose the perfect bottle while saving a ton of money on your restaurant tab.

So when I passed by this sign (above) at 50 Raymond Ave. in Poughkeepsie, I was positively giddy.

Kismat Indian Restaurant, a stone's throw from Vassar College, has all the favorites (chiken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, palak paneer) as well as a $6.95 lunch buffet and an $8.95 dinner buffet. BYOB or BYOW is encouraged.

These stores have knowledgeable staff who will help you pick out the perfect
wine to pair with ethnic cuisine:
Artisan Wine Shop, 180 Main St., Beacon, 845-440-6923
Viscount Wines & Liquor, 1173 Route 9, Wappingers Falls, 845-298-0555

I am a little concerned about byob/w because it can become hard to monitor. What about bring a beer or 2 max? Since it's a little harder to leave with half a bottle of wine, maybe that needs to be a wine cooler.

My favorite restaurant doesn't serve beer, but it does provide takeout.
