Iconic Laf-A-Lot reopens on Loon Lake after massive rebuild in Wayland

Everyone is smiling again at the Laf-A-Lot. An iconic Steuben County lakeside bar and restaurant reopened recently after a complete rebuild by its new owners. The Laf -A-Lot on Loon Lake is "pouring beers once again," Chuck Cavallaro posted Nov. 2 on the "What's going on around Wayland" Facebook page. The bar's signature cocktail, the Blue Whale, is presumably being mixed and poured again, too. The Laf-A-Lot had been closed since December 2025. Former owners Ed and Paula Kauffman sold the 100 Laf A Lot Road business to Chuck Cavallaro and his wife, Joanne Cavallaro, in March 2026. The couple, along with family members and even many of Cavallaros' neighbors on Loon Lake, immediately got to work restoring the existing bar and restaurant. “The next day (after the sale closed) I was at the bar with a crowbar and a hammer, and we started taking stuff apart," Chuck Cavallaro, a semi-retired medical doctor, told The Evening Tribune last spring. The old bar and restaurant was essentially stripped down to its studs and rebuilt, with the old floor and roof replaced, a new bar installed and a larger kitchen with updated equipment constructed. The Cavallaros documented nearly every step in the

Hornell’s speakeasy themed lounge “Hush” will close permanently on December 26

The Main Street cocktail destination opened in 2022. Announcement from Hush, Follow Hush on Facebook for their final events. Well, the time has come to say our goodbyes in the most positive way. When we opened Hush. in 2022 it was with a dream to bring something entirely different to our small town. Something that may have never existed if we did not take the leap. At that time my mom (and partner) was recently retired, and I had graduated college and was trying to figure it all out.

Taste Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stouts in Corning, support Bampa's House

The Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout 30-Year Vertical Tasting Journey will be held Saturday, Nov. 14 at Carey's Brew House on Bridge Street in Corning, to raise money for the Bampa's House. Joe Carey, owner of Carey's Brew House and a longtime member of the Bampa's House Board of Directors, said the Art of Beer & Food, a multi-course experience, will begin at 4 p.m. Saturday at Carey's Brew House. "It will feature 30 years of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout beer collection," Carey said. "You will never find another tasting like this of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout except if you were at the Brooklyn brewery." Carey said much of the Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout collection was done by Jim Dugan, whose family established Bampa's House after he passed away on Feb. 21, 2016, at the age of 68, after a battle with cancer. "Carey is a cornerstone of the people in the community that help build Bampa's," said Steve Ritter, President of Bampa's House. "We are a community organization, and when we get people like Carey, and Carey's Brew House behind us to do these fundraisers, it means the world to us.

Canandaigua dog spa rebrands as Barc Dog Spa & Boutique | Exclusive

As far as new names go for a doggie spa, Barc Dog Spa & Boutique works for Maddyn DeSain. DeSain, who cleans the bays at the business, likes the name change from Bad Dog Boutique for a pretty good reason. "It's more 'dog' I feel like," DeSain said Thursday at a ribbon-cutting announcing the official rebrand of the former Bad Dog Boutique at 84 S. Main St., Canandaigua. Barc, as in bark — you know, what dogs do. But the "arc" part of the rebrand is also an important aspect of the change for getting the word out of what The Arc of Ontario does, said Michelle Jungermannn, chief operating officer of The Arc Ontario's enterprise operations. Barc Dog Spa & Boutique is one of the agency's social enterprises, which includes downtown neighbor North Star Coffee, Spot On Cleaning, FLX Premier Bottling and Finger Lakes Bus Service. These businesses help individuals of all abilities develop job skills, earn wages, and participate in their communities, which is "still at the heart of what we do," Jungermann said. And besides, there are no real "bad" dogs, anyway, Jungermann said. Whatever the name is, retail assistant Cheyenne Daughtery can't wait to go to
