Big News, Hudson — A New Chapter Begins
If you’ve loved Ziggy’s over the years — the live music, the energy, the community, the memories — we have exciting news.We’re beginning the transition into Max’s Social House; a fresh evolution built on everything you already love.Here’s what’s NOT changing:
• The music stays.
• The dancing stays.
• The welcoming energy stays.
• The Ziggy’s spirit stays.
But we heard you — and we’re leveling up.
Here’s what’s getting better:
• A craveable new food program designed to surprise you
• A smoother, elevated cocktail and bar menu
• A refreshed atmosphere that still feels like home, but with a cleaner, warmer, more polished touch
• A more inviting experience for guests who may have thought Ziggy’s was “not their scene.”
Why the change?
Ziggy’s is part of Hudson’s DNA — but every great place needs a second wind. Max’s Social House keeps the soul of Ziggy’s alive while adding the flavor, hospitality, and social experience people have been asking for.
Meet the vision behind it:
Dr. Melvin “Max” Ashford believes great places are built with heart. At Max’s, the food is made with care, the cocktails are crafted with intention, and every
guest — longtime regular or brand-new visitor — feels seen.
This isn’t about taking anything away.
It’s about building something even better — elevated, but still humble; fresh, but still familiar; lively, warm, and full of heart.
We’re excited to welcome you to this next chapter.
The music is still loud. The beer still flows.
Now your plate will hit as hard as the bass.
The Transition to Max’s Social House will start now with full implementation of new menus and bar items in January 2026. Excuse our dust as remain open during this metamorphosis.
A new name.
The same soul.
More to love.
