Laid back, and a relaxed atmosphere, Ariel plays her guitar and sings like an angel, while her percussionist taps a majestic beat on his bongo. It sounded absolutely beautiful. It drew other wanderers into the gallery, as well as entertain the guests that were already there. Cheese, wine, strawberries & grapes, people were having a good time. Nothing better than good friends, good wine and great music to enhance an exhibit for a talented artist.

After the exhibit, Madelene and I stopped off at the Barnsider to see our favorite bartender, Debbie. She knew exactly what drinks to make. Madelene and I sat down at our regular seats and had our dinnner and drinks as usual. Debbie never fails to refill our empties. Not only is she a good bartender, but she's a great friend. Thank you Deb for making us feel right at home!

Below is a picture of how my vision was---after Debbie made me some potent drinks.

If you want to get the best drinks in town and the best food, visit Debbie on Saturdays and Sundays at the Barnsider in Chester, NY.
