Tucked in the rolling green hills of East Durham, where the Catskills echo with music and memory, lies Five Furlongs - a storied tavern, restaurant, and event haven where the past and present meet in celebration. This is not simply a property. It is a place of gathering, of laughter and toasts, of creek-side weddings and fireside songs. Set along the well-traveled State Route 145, Five Furlongs, with its thatched-roof patio and timbered charm, evokes the warmth of the Irish countryside. This is an extraordinary venue in both scale and soul. Indoors, the tavern and dining room offer seating for up to 100 guests, while outside, the possibilities stretch wide: a grand 90ft x 30ft Amish-built pavilion featuring a permanent stage, JBL sound system and lighting, and chandeliers from The Boathouse at Central Park; a mobile catering trailer with wood and propane designated cooking stations, bar, and dining tables; a covered back deck off of the main dining area; a large fire pit circle; and creekside cabanas nestled beside the cascading waters of Cornwallville Creek. The grounds are vast, meticulously maintained, and ready to host weddings, concerts, and reunions. Behind the scenes, the infrastructure is as impressive as the ambiance. A commercial kitchen, full bar, prep and storage rooms, walk-in freezer and coolers, two wells, a new septic system, ten bathrooms, and two parking areas provide everything needed to operate at scale. Upstairs, four ensuite hotel rooms offer accommodations. With two liquor licenses and a NYS Gaming License with Off Track Betting, the business is poised for both hospitality and entertainment. Throughout the year, the East Durham pulses with Irish festivals, cultural events, and the kind of neighborly warmth that turns visitors into regulars. It's a place where stories begin, and where every gathering feels like a homecoming. Property is being sold as is.
