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
