Backbar
347 Warren St., Hudson
The guys behind Fish & Game have set up an open-air cocktail spot complete with picnic tables right on Hudson's main drag. This Tiki-ish bar in a former auto body shop bets big on Southeast Asian street food. (The name is a play on “ikan bakar,” which are basically roadside stops throughout Malaysia.) An unfussy lineup includes standouts like triple pepper fried chicken, vegetable ramen, and yellow chickpea curry with mango chutney. Don't miss the solid natural wines list.
