In my former life (OK, it was four years ago, but it feels longer), I worked at the Culinary Institute of America and the twenty-somethings from my department regularly went to happy hour with Marist employees. One night, a bunch of us wandered into Junior's

Lounge. We ended up singing karaoke, or maybe we line danced, I can't exactly remember -- but we definitely enjoyed our pints without the company of students from our respective schools for once. Which brings me to my point: while Junior's is close to more than one campus, it's definitely not a college bar. Backdrop

Junior's has brick walls, a cozy fireplace, Christmas decorations and a tree ... but people don't go there for the humble digs. Football games on TV; beer and liquor with a low price tag; delicious homemade pub grub; the welcoming, laughing regulars -- that's why this bar is one of Dutchess County's best loved and most well-kept secrets. Mixology

Domestic pitchers are $8.50 and imported pitchers are $15.50. What's cookin'

Order a house-made burger (hand-packed fresh ground beef, not frozen) and fries for $7. Try their new wing flavor, Cajun Dry Rub. During football games, get a dozen each of steamers, wings and pizza bites, all for $12. Highlights

Tonight, the Rock and Roll Christmas Party goes from 8 to midnight. Two bands will perform: Johnny Dell and UFB, plus Vito Petroccitto and the Fatheads. Karaoke is every Thursday night and there's a live band most Saturday nights. Cray and Dempsey pop in every now and then for a performance, so keep your eyes on Junior's page for information about their next show. If you've never heard of this longstanding Irish duo, you're missing out. They combine various styles of music, put their own twist on an eclectic choice of songs, throw in some insult humor and ask for crowd participation. They're talented, hilarious and certainly worth the night out, if you need an excuse. Junior's hosts one of the only horseshoe leagues in the area and you'll have to wait until someone keels over to get on the team -- that's how popular it is. Details

Open 11:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., Monday-Wednesday; 11:30 a.m. to 3 a.m., Thursday-Saturday; noon to midnight, Sunday.

On the evening of Monday June 20th 2022, we tragically lost our beloved Junior’s Lounge. Our hearts shattered as we not only lost one of our favorite local bars, but for many we also lost our homes, our jobs, and our security.

In response, we watched our community come together in full force to offer their time, their talents, and their money to support the benefit that we held on July 10th, 2022.

The incredible turnout at the benefit on July 10th raised $58,700 to assist in the transition that our bartenders and tenants are facing. We are truly grateful for the bands, the local businesses, the volunteers, and every individual who came together from both near and far to make this event so unbelievably successful.

The love and support received by all is greater than anything we ever could have imagined.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts to all of you for your unselfish contributions.

We hope to see you all soon,

Love, the Junior’s family
