 Whiskey River, located on North Division Street in Peekskill, is an excellent place to relax. Founded during the pandemic, it welcomes patrons every day of the week. Thursdays stand out due to a particular bartender's presence. The bar exudes a distinctive atmosphere, somewhere between a local tavern and a dive bar. It attracts visitors from across the Hudson Valley and sometimes from the City. The beverages are outstanding, and if you meet a certain Irish man's standards of conduct, you might just have your name inscribed on the back wall. Please don't take offense at his frequent use of expletives; they are a common feature in his speech. Last year, he dressed up as a monstrous Pebbles Flintstone and Bam-Bam Rubble, complete with painted red lipstick and messy hair tied in a ponytail. The attire resembled a brown, sleeveless caveman's sack. I can't remember if he was barefoot, which would have been appropriate. He glared at me, challenging me not to take his photograph because it was that horrible. "I will kick your f....g ass," he said and he would, so I begrudgingly complied. I'm curious, without any loss of sleep, what will this year's costume be? Halloween is an especially great time to visit. The festive decorations never fail to entertain, and the comfort food is top-notch.

I've acquired a taste for this particular cocktail during Sunday brunch, a habit that started in San Francisco and seems poised to persist even in the absence of the Castro Street crowd. Why not carry over the Bloody Mary tradition after a gloomy, rainy downpour on Monday to a sunny Tuesday? The brunch at Whiskey's is consistently outstanding, and the performers always manage to entertain, whether you're enjoying your meal alone or delving into a complex William Faulkner novel.
 Whiskey River lunch Whiskey River is suddenly the culinary adventurer's delight, where the salmon leap onto my plate, pilaf is fluffy, and veggies reach peak sweetness.

Here, every lunch is a scene from a feel-good movie, and the only thing better than the food is the company and the inevitable good times. Cheers again to Whiskey River, where the river of comfort food and fine wine, beer and whiskey never runs dry.
