The Blazer Pub in Purdys NY

A popular hangout in Northern Westchester that is worth a stop if your are ever driving upstate on I684.  This is The Blazer Pub in Purdys, NY.  I have been there on many memorable occcasions.  This is quite close to the home where I grew up .

My Dad had spent many Friday nights with his Knights of Columbus friends playing cards and enjoying the beer and friendship that is abundant at this Pub.  I spent many days and nights enjoying burgers and wings and an occasional beer.

One New Year’s Eve, an ex-boyfriend and I were stopping into the bar on the way to Manhattan for a fancy party.  We were asked by a suave gentleman why we were dressed up and where were we celebrating.  Ten minutes into the conversation I realized we were conversing with Ralph Lauren (He had (has?) a home and horse farm in the area)!

The Celsus Burger is my personal favorite – a juicy burger with swiss and bacon!  This is a place known for their burgers and their huge and crispy fries!

This afternoon was all about burgers.  Actually, the cute senior couple (who I think I recognized) who were sitting across from us were enjoying burgers!  At our table, my brother Bill, Sue, Andrew and I all ordered burgers.

The Blazer Burger (above) that Andrew enjoyed was smothered with creamy blue cheese, carmelized sweet onions and mushrooms.  Andrew and I agreed that the onions were overpowering…but the burger was still awesome!

The Blazer has a great draft beer selection.  Andrew had a Smithwicks “frosty, cold goodness”.  Andrew said it was the best Smithwicks he’s ever had.  I had a chardonnay, somehow…

Bill and Sue had juicy burgers, too!  We all loved the bacony, cheesy goodness that is the Blazer Pub Grub!  What a great place to hang with your friends!
