Our Story

Rooted in Beacon. Made for Gathering.

Lyonshare is the work of owner Bud Schmeling, whose years in New York hospitality run through Black Betty in Williamsburg, Peter Luger, and Gage & Tollner. On Main Street, the idea is a simple one: honest food, a well-made drink, and a room where the neighborhood feels at home.

The name tips its hat to Captain John Lyon, a nineteenth-century Hudson River boat captain who gave his passengers safe passage across the water. We like to think of the house the same way.

Dining

Gather Around the Table.

Dinner most nights, lunch at the end of the week, and brunch on the weekend. However you come in, the bar is always part of it.

  1. A New York strip with compound butter, a martini and shared plates on a dining table at Lyonshare.

    Thursday to Monday, from 5 PM

    Dinner

    American bistro cooking with steaks at the heart of it: steak frites, a 12 oz New York strip, and a 28 day dry-aged prime porterhouse for two.

  2. A stack of pancakes with fresh berries, mint and maple syrup on a wooden table in the sun.

    Saturday and Sunday, 11 AM to 3 PM

    Weekend Brunch

    Slow mornings on Main Street with Turkish eggs, the Sweet Stack, a Benedict with nduja, and a Hudson Mimosa to start.

  3. A cocktail, a burger and fries, and a cup of soup on Lyonshare’s marble bar.

    At the bar
