Six Hudson Valley bars have been named among the best of the best in all of upstate New York.

NewYorkUpstate.com compiled a list of the top 31 establishments based on Yelp reviews. The 'best' determination is compiled using an algorithm that looks at the number of reviews, star rating for a business, and the length of time the establishment has been opened, among other things. The number of negative reviews also weighs into the results.
