All it took was a single head-turning glimpse of this place as we drove by to tell us it was a place worth visiting. You can see the deck from below and there was no question there was a beautiful view to be had. Still, it took several years since that first look for us to make our way back and finally to dine at Gunk Haus. I asked my brother what he wanted to do for his birthday this year, and he made the call that it was time to see what they were about.
Views & Atmosphere
Perched on a hilly corner of Highland, NY, Gunk Haus looks out over sprawling apple orchards with views of a Shawangunk and Catskill mountain ranges in the distance. There’s a cozy tavern atmosphere inside, and a lovely and spacious open deck.
