Hurley Mountain Inn is a restaurant/sports bar in historic Hurley, New York. It was the setting for an upstate bar scene in the movie Tootsie. ^[1] At one time, the Hurley Mountain Inn was famous for its rough and tumble biker bar scene, but then a NY State Trooper barracks was sited directly across the street and the bar settled into a tame flag-festooned family place, though crazy thong-barings continued during its famous New Years celebrations. They claim to have the largest St. Patrick's Day celebration in New York - "latest figure, we served over 12,000 pounds of Mosey's corned beef in just 6 days! (Not to mention 5000 lb (2300 kg). of cabbage, 4500 lb (2040 kg). of potatoes and 4,000 lb of carrots!)." ^[2]^[3]

[edit] History

The Inn began in the early 1800’s as the “Suspension Bridge House.” Around the turn of the century it was renamed the Hurley Hotel ^[3], featuring a tavern and a one chair barber shop. In the early 1970’s it was renamed the Hurley Mountain Inn. ^[4]
