For over 25 years, Dori Fackler has dreamed of opening a wine bar in a small town, on a historic Main Street and in a historic building. When a space became available on Main Street, Catskill in 2024, Dori made her dreams a reality.

The Avalon Lounge (located at 29 Church Street in the Village of Catskill) is well known as a place for friends to gather for drinks, dance, and eclectic live music. Avalon’s three interconnected spaces (upstairs & downstairs) provide patrons with perfect purviews for celebration and conversation. Add homestyle Korean food favorites to the mix, and you’ve got a terrific treat for all the senses.  

Every morning at the corner of Ross Ruland Road and County Route 23B, motorists converge at the South Cairo Country Store to gas up, grab a coffee, a buttered hard roll, and whatever else helps them start their day.  Customers continuously flow through leading up to another rush as folks make their way home from work.  Cars pull in, and trucks pull out, and sometimes there are some close calls and sudden stops.  All that is about to change as this destination relocates down the street to its new facility.
