After a period of dormancy (stability?), the Kingston bar and restaurant scene is aflurry with activity with new sales, closings, openings, and fun things coming down the pike.
The longtime North Ponckhockie watering hole the Corner Bar & Grill has been purchased by a group of Poughkeepsie business partners including Davina Thomasula of Goodnight Kenny and Charlie Webb of Hudson & Packard. Their group, Half Full Hospitality, aims to have the spot up and running as Sorry Charlie—a neighborhood bar with beer, cocktails, and pizza, by the end of the year.
