Kepner's is the original Hudson bar, a hole-in-the wall place with typical bar food. Yes there are many other fancy places in Hudson, but I love coming here for a burger. It's one of the few places in Hudson where you can usually get a table or spot at the bar right when you walk in. (last attempt to get in to Flipside was a 2 hr wait). Food and drinks are reasonably priced, and while staff is hit or miss on friendliness, I always feel comfortable here.
If you want a fine dining experience that Hudson is known for, don't go here. If you want decent bar grub without the snootiness, go here.
