I was by now very, very thirsty. I could have maybe staggered a bit farther to get to my eventual destination, but I found myself passing this place. It’s called Whiskey River, and it specializes in a variety of whiskeys and, more importantly CRAFT BEERS. How could I resist?

A Westchester Magazine review (A Curated Menu of Epic Eats Is Blowing up in Peekskill) from May 2020 described it as follows (note that this is a very short extract from a much longer review):

All in all, Whiskey River has hit the ground running despite some serious hurdles in the market. They’ve partnered with local all-stars Blithe Bagels for a Mother’s Day gift basket and are already working on more team-ups and limited-time menu options. The food is outstanding, the drink options are copious (and quality), and for all that the prices are shockingly reasonable — only $12-$16 for most entrées in large portions, and $15-$20 for jumbo cocktails (though you can snag an 8oz happy hour margarita until 5 p.m. for just $5).

Local foodies will definitely want to check out this rising star in Peekskill’s downtown scene by putting in a take-out order now. By the time restaurants reopen, we’re not sure you’ll be able to get a reservation.

I didn’t have anything to eat (I was going to another restaurant after all), but I did have one of the craft beers. I don’t remember what it was called, but it certainly tasted good. But then again, by that point probably anything would have tasted good. Maybe even pumpkin beer (my all-time worst beer).
