world’s end

Located adjacent to our Valley restaurant and open year round, World’s End Bar shares the same stunning views of the Hudson River and surrounding Highlands. World’s End bar earned its unique name from a bit of historical folklore. Ever since Henry Hudson sailed this river in 1609, the Hudson Highlands has been known for its fierce currents and treacherous winds, and certain parts of the river earned nicknames from the sailors. On the stretch of river directly below The World’s End bar lies the deepest spot in the Hudson’s 315-mile course from the Adirondacks to the sea and, an especially dangerous curve where many early sloops and sailing vessels were lost in sudden squalls and conflicting currents. West Point also juts out into this bend in the Hudson, which respectful mariners named the “World’s End.”

our philosophy

Our two Garrison properties, The Garrison and Highlands Country Club, support the idea that strong local economies are the lifeblood of healthy communities. We believe that a vibrant system of interdependence between local producers and consumers helps shape local culture, and that the character of the local culture in turn helps determine a community’s landscape.

We are in the business of bringing people together to enjoy the bounty of both our local and regional communities, the Hudson Highlands and the Hudson Valley.Much of our food and beverage is sourced within these areas through relationships we continue to develop with independent producers and their distributors. Our restaurant, Valley, endeavors to reflect the flavor of this region by featuring some of the foods, beers, wines, spirits, produce and other products that it produces.

Our team at Valley pursues a contemporary fine dining menu of inspired American cuisine during the main growing season.

Since Valley restaurant first opened, it has had its own kitchen gardens located right outside the restaurant. Our gardeners work directly with our Executive Chef to coordinate menu needs for the season. Many of the vegetables and herbs used in the menus of both Valley and our banquets are grown in our gardens. A mix ofspecial lettuces is grown for our signature salad at Valley.
