From Wings to Crafts: What Makes little b’s Tarrytown’s Go-To Local Pub Local & Story-Focused

Tarrytown has the kind of Main Street where dinner can be part of a bigger evening. You might be meeting friends after work, grabbing food before a show at the Tarrytown Music Hall, or settling in for a casual meal without wanting anything too formal.

At little b’s, that neighborhood rhythm is a big part of our story. Burgers, bites, wings, craft beer, and a family connection to Tarrytown come together in a local pub experience built around good food and an easygoing place to gather.

What Makes a Local Pub Feel Truly Local in Tarrytown?

A local pub feels truly local in Tarrytown when the food, atmosphere, location, and people behind it have a genuine connection to the community. For us, that means a Main Street location, family roots in town, customizable food, rotating drinks, and a casual setting designed for everything from a quick bite to an evening with friends.

A few things help shape that experience:

• Our location at 49 Main Street puts us in the heart of Tarrytown and a short walk from the Tarrytown Music Hall.
• Our co-owner Sharon was born and raised in Tarrytown, giving our restaurant a personal connection to the community.
• Our menu centers on burgers, bites, and bar favorites that work for casual lunches, dinners, and nights out.
• Nearby communities such as Sleepy Hollow, Irvington, and Elmsford make Tarrytown a natural meeting point for a relaxed meal.
• Our rotating beer selection gives guests another reason to find something different to pair with familiar favorites.

How Did little b’s Get Its Name?

The little b’s name comes from a family story and the three ideas at the heart of the restaurant: Build Your Own Burger, Bites, and Bar. “Little B” was also a nickname for our beloved dog, Riley, making the name personal rather than something created simply for a restaurant concept.

That family connection goes back even further. Before little b’s, our restaurant in the same location was called Jack and Dyl’s, a name inspired by our son and dog.

When the concept evolved into little b’s, the new name gave us a way to connect our personal story with what guests actually find when they walk through the door.

The result is simple: burgers, bites, bar, and a name with a history behind it.

Why Are Build-Your-Own Burgers Part of the Experience?

Build-your-own burgers give guests control over the meal, making customization one of the defining parts of eating at little b’s. Instead of assuming everyone wants the same burger, our BYOB approach lets each person choose a combination that fits their appetite.

Guests can work through choices for the bun, protein, cheese, toppings, and sauce. That flexibility works especially well when a group arrives with very different ideas about dinner.

One person may want something familiar and straightforward. Someone else may want to pile on toppings and experiment with sauces. Another guest may prefer a lettuce wrap, gluten-free option, turkey, chicken, or vegetarian choice.

That makes BYOB more than an acronym on our menu. It reflects the relaxed, personal nature of the restaurant itself.

What Makes Wings a Natural Tarrytown Pub Favorite?

Wings fit naturally into a Tarrytown pub meal because they can be a snack, a shared plate, or the starting point for a full dinner with friends. Our current menu offers wings in several quantities with sauces ranging from traditional heat to sweet, smoky, savory, and spicy flavors.

Options include medium, hot, blazin’, little b’s BBQ, Carolina BBQ, sweet Thai chili, honey sriracha, mango habanero, Jamaican jerk, garlic parmesan, honey tequila, and teriyaki.

That variety means the table does not have to agree on a single flavor profile.

Wings also fit the way people use a neighborhood pub. They work when you have time to settle in, when friends want to order several things for the table, or when you want something satisfying before heading over to the Tarrytown Music Hall.

Add hand-cut fries, onion rings, nachos, mac and cheese, or another bite, and it is easy to turn a wing order into a casual night out on Main Street.

How Does Craft Beer Fit Into the little b’s Story?

Craft beer complements the food-first experience at little b’s by giving guests a rotating range of styles to explore alongside burgers, wings, sliders, and other bites. Our beer list includes selections from New York as well as breweries from other parts of the country and beyond.

The current menu includes styles such as pilsners, lagers, IPAs, sour ales, stouts, and seasonal draft choices. New York names on the list include Sixpoint, Blue Point, and Captain Lawrence, along with New York cider options.

That variety matters because there is no single beer that works for every guest or every meal.

A crisp lager can offer a straightforward pairing with a burger. An IPA can stand up to richer toppings or spicy wings. A cider provides a different direction for someone who wants something bright and refreshing.

For guests who do not drink alcohol, the menu also includes non-alcoholic choices.

Because selections can rotate, asking about the current draft and special beer lineup is part of the experience.

Why Does the Main Street Location Matter?

Our Main Street location matters because little b’s sits within the walkable dining and entertainment experience that makes downtown Tarrytown distinctive. At 49 Main Street, we are positioned near local shops and restaurants and just a short walk from one of the village’s best-known destinations, the Tarrytown Music Hall.

That makes us a practical stop for several kinds of evenings.

You can grab food before a performance, meet friends downtown, stop in after spending time around Tarrytown, or make dinner the main event.

Sleepy Hollow is immediately nearby, while Irvington and Elmsford are also close enough for little b’s to serve as an easy meeting place for people coming from different parts of Westchester County.

For visitors exploring the Hudson River communities, a Main Street meal also offers something different from stopping at a restaurant disconnected from the center of town.

What Else Is on the Menu Beyond Burgers and Wings?

Beyond burgers and wings, our menu leans into shareable, casual food that suits the neighborhood pub setting. Sliders, quesadillas, nachos, egg rolls, mac and cheese bites, tostones, salads, fries, and signature sandwiches give the table plenty of ways to mix things up.

Some choices take familiar bar-food ideas in a different direction. Buffalo chicken spring rolls bring together buffalo-marinated chicken, blue cheese, and ranch. Philly cheesesteak egg rolls combine marinated steak, cheddar, and caramelized onions.

Our slider selection offers another way to sample different flavors without committing to a full-size burger.

Weekend specials can add another layer of variety, with limited dishes offered while available.

That balance between recognizable favorites and more playful combinations is intentional. A local pub should be comfortable enough for your usual order while still giving you a reason to try something new.

What Does Family Have to Do With a Neighborhood Restaurant?

Family is part of little b’s from the restaurant’s name to its connection with Tarrytown itself. With Sharon’s roots in the village and names inspired by our son and dogs appearing throughout our restaurant history, the personal story has always been tied to the business.

That matters in a community such as Tarrytown, where a restaurant can become part of someone’s routine rather than simply a place they visit once.

Maybe it is where you meet before a Music Hall show. Maybe you stop in for wings with friends. Maybe everyone at the table builds a completely different burger.

Those ordinary repeat occasions are what give a neighborhood restaurant its character.

We want the food to be worth coming in for, but we also want the experience to feel relaxed enough that coming back feels natural.

What Should First-Time Guests Try?

First-time guests can get a good feel for little b’s by starting with the foods that represent our core idea: a customized burger, an order of wings, a shareable bite, and a drink that suits the meal.

There is no required order.

If customization sounds appealing, start with Build Your Own Burger and create something around your favorite protein, toppings, cheese, and sauce.

If you are sharing, wings and bites make it easy for the table to explore several flavors. Guests looking for something different can check the signature sandwiches, sliders, or current weekend specials.

For drinks, ask what is currently available on draft or explore the beer, cider, wine, cocktail, and non-alcoholic selections.

Is little b’s Only for Tarrytown Locals?

No, little b’s welcomes both Tarrytown regulars and visitors exploring this part of Westchester County. Our downtown location makes us convenient for people coming from nearby Sleepy Hollow, Irvington, Elmsford, and other Hudson River communities, as well as visitors spending an afternoon or evening in the village.

If you are already heading to Main Street or the Tarrytown Music Hall, stopping for food can fit naturally into the trip.

For locals, the experience can be even simpler: come in when you want a burger, wings, a drink, or an easy meal close to home.
