The beers are always fresh and the glasses hold a nice head.

The new owners have done a good job keeping the atmosphere and beer standards of the former owner. I think they realized what made the place so popular.

The menu is largely standard pub fare, sandwiches, chicken wings, burgers and salads, but the the food quality is a notch above what you usually find in these kids of places. Some of the sandwich combinations are unusual, but satisfying.

And best of all, prices are reasonable. There is a good reason that this middle of the nowhere pub always has a full parking lot and a wait for a table much of the time.

PS: We were told that John will be returning to preside several days a week.

I can’t do any justice to the other reviews except to say the Man of Kent is all that is said and then some. There is no better host ANYWHERE than you will find at the MOK. John is a tremendous, wonderfully-warm Publican who can hold you in conversation for hours without your interest waning. And when John speaks, the bar listens.

Oh, the beer. That’s what we’re her for, eh? John has 18 taps – all top shelf. There is no “Light” or “Lite” beer to be found. And now that Smithwick’s is on, I’m moving my cot in. There’s everything from Coniston’s Blue Bird Bitter to Tetley’s to Boddingtons to the freshest Old Speckled Hen anywhere. And there’s always a tap reserved for Brown’s Brewing Co. (nee Troy Brew Pub). There are also hundreds of bottled beers if you’d like something odder.

If you live anywhere east of the California coast (ah, don’t we all?), the Man of Kent is a must-stop. Eat outside with the pig (Lucy), as well as the ducks and geese. There are bird watching books at the end of the bar to help identify the numerous and rare birds that perch on the myriad of feeders outside. And don’t forget to pet the three-legged cat!

One minor caveat is John says he’s backing off on the full dinners and instead will offer a limited menu only after 3:00. Full lunches will still be served though.

Thanks for staying John and giving us a reason to stay in this miserable state! Keep up the good work (as always)!

Location - not really hard to find, but not in Hoosick Falls (just the P.O. address); pub is on NY 7, one mile west of the intersection of 7 and NY 22South.
