ABOUT

What’s in a Name?

The Kinderhook Tap is YOUR neighborhood bar and grill. We are located on the corner of Oak Park and Van Buren Avenues. Wanting to build on the history of the corner…we discovered that President Martin VanBuren’s nickname was “Old Kinderhook.” Coincidently, loosely translated into Dutch, Kinderhook means “small corner.”

Therefore…

Kinderhook Tap = Your small corner bar!!

 

Who Started This?

The Kinderhook Tap’s owners are Marci Hughes and Kristin Graham. Combined they have 20 years of producing experience at The Oprah Winfrey Show and are ecstatic to have opened their dream neighborhood tap in Oak Park. Their menu supports local farmers and eco-conscious eating including local grass fed beef, Green City Market veggies, and free-range natural chicken and pork. Even their hand-cut fries are cooked in non-trans fat oil!
