Welcome to The Running Deer Inn, a cherished establishment steeped in history and nestled in the heart of Napanoch, New York. Since its inception in the late '70s, our family-owned haven has been a gathering place, reminiscent of warm memories and shared moments.

Step into the inviting ambiance of a country hunting camp with a twist of mystery from its haunted past. The RDI resonates with the echo of laughter, clinking glasses, and the camaraderie of good friends – a true embodiment of the phrase 'Home.' As a young girl, I fondly remember playing pool with my grandfather and father, creating memories that still linger in the air.

In January 2023, I felt a calling to return home, to The RDI, and open its doors once more to the community. My aim is to weave tradition with a touch of modernity, offering not just good food and spirits but an experience that binds us together. This is a place where the history of Napanoch unfolds, and where you, our cherished guest, become a part of our extended family.

Our theme is a nod to the rustic charm of a country hunting camp, celebrating the essence of guns, game, and, above all, good food. The RDI is more than a small-town bar eatery; it's a haven of home-cooked comfort, where every dish is crafted with care and passion. We proudly declare ourselves as "Locally Armed and Operated," reflecting our deep roots in the community.

Join me, Christine, The Doe Running The Show, as we embark on a journey through time, savoring the rich history of Napanoch, New York, and creating new memories with each visit. The RDI invites you to relish not only the warmth of our hospitality but also the unique blend of tradition and modernity that defines us. Come, be a part of our story, and let's make history together over good food, good spirits, and the company of good friends.
