Antiques Barn

One of my favorite antique stores!

I was nervous about the vibe after reading other reviews but the owner and his partner, and their friend, were nothing but nice and helpful to me and my husband. This is also a really affordable, well-curated antique store! We spent $330 total for a gorgeous wood dresser, and three first-edition books from the 1970s (one being a kid’s set that came with 15 books). The same dresser would have been twice, maybe triple the price at the antique stores in Hudson (that I’ve been to, at least). Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful antiques center in a converted barn, with a great selection of dealers and antiques.

Excellent place. I was on a hut for an antique bread box. Did not find it but did see all of other interesting things

Great selection of antiques and the staff is friendly and helpful!

This antique shop was a really fun experience! I loved perusing the two floors worth of items from different time periods. Was tickled by the typewriters, prints, jewelry, cookware. I also liked how organized this store was, and located in an old barn, with parking. This was my first time visiting, and visiting New Paltz, in general, and I’d highly recommend!

A large antique store in a huge, open barn. There were so many cool pieces and I could have spent hours scouring through all of the items. Make sure you look up, down, left and right because I almost missed a beautiful old polaroid that was hanging by one of the overhead beams! It can be a bit overwhelming but it’s a cool place to peruse through even if you don’t plan to buy anything.

Visited the Antiques Barn with my wife on a weekday during October. The 3 stars are for the antiques and location. PROS: - large space, good selection of antiques and collectibles, centrally located in a little plaza with other shops and restaurants CONS: - only the bottom floor is handicapped accessible - unfriendly owner (?) / staff: from the moment I asked if there were an accessible entrance, the snark began. No greeting. No warmth. No explanation about needing to repark in an entirely different area of the complex, just “You can go in the back door” - the back door is also used for deliveries, and an able-bodied man delivering one shirt had parked his car blocking the whole access to the “accessible” back door. Again, no offer to move the blocking car, no intervention from the staff; we had to navigate around and down a very steep slope into the back door - once inside, my wife and I were immediately and obviously shadowed by the staff to make sure we didn’t shoplift. The older guy who followed us around the whole time was uncomfortably close to us. It was just creepy. Loss mitigation is clearly their main priority, not “How can I help you? What are you looking for?” It might have occurred to you that the handicapped woman with advanced cancer, who requires obvious exits and entrances at a glacial pace using a rolling walker, is probably not looking to steal something and make a quick exit. My wife was so uncomfortable she wanted to leave and sit in the car, so I helped her back outside and continued by myself. I was, in fact, looking for postcards, among other things. When I asked if they had any, the shopkeeper appeared irritated I had interrupted his ongoing gossip stream and snapped “they’re just every where, upstairs, downstairs” rather than point out any of the multiple specific collections for me to look at. It was not busy so it was surprising he wouldn’t take a moment to steer me toward what I was looking for. Lastly, when I checked out, there was no “thank you”. No “come again”. No acknowledgment of any typically universal customer service platitudes one exchanges as a small business owner. Everyone who works here seems unhappy about the fact that they do, and it shows. The only reason I purchased anything was for my wife. We now refer to this as the “Grouchy Antique Barn” (I actually call it the “B****y Barn” as the level of irritation went far beyond grouchy). Bottom line: As a handicapped woman and caregiver, we will not be returning. However, if you want to be treated like a presumed shoplifter the moment you roll through the back door, and can cope with the snark, the antiques may be worth it. Limited handicapped accessibility overall, both in the entrance setup and the lack of upstairs access.

overpriced rude employees I came in here last year and thought the woman was pretty rude. I decided to assume it was a bad day for her and give it another try. Wrong, walked in and immediately felt some funky energy from not only a man but the same woman from last year. They don't have good enough vendors for them to be this rude to people let's be serious!!!!!!!!!

Do not do business here, absolutely awful older women working at the front. They are passive aggressive and rude.
