The Story

Monkey Maghees is Poughkeepsie. For over 16 years, this legendary bar has been the heartbeat of the community. While countless neighborhood bars have shuttered across the Northeast, Monkey Maghees has not just survived — it has thrived.

It is a "last of its kind" venue in an era when authentic neighborhood pubs are becoming extinct. That rarity, combined with consistent profitability and a fiercely loyal customer base, makes this an exceptional opportunity for the right buyer.

"A genuine neighborhood bar with the revenue to prove it. No hype, no shortcuts — just a solid, profitable business with deep community roots."

Monkey Maghees operates a proven, sustainable model: happy hour Mon-Fri (5-7pm), pool tournaments, darts, live music on Fridays, and a loyal customer base that spans decades. Whether it is a packed Friday night or a casual Tuesday, the bar maintains consistent traffic and revenue.

The location at 40 Vassar Rd in a premium commercial complex with abundant parking and visibility ensures year-round foot traffic. Proximity to Dunkin' and Rite Aid means constant complementary traffic.
