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. 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 5,000 lb (2,300 kg). of cabbage, 4,500 lb (2,040 kg). of potatoes and 4,000 lb of carrots!)."

Famous quotes containing the words mountain and/or inn:
“If I am to be a thoroughfare, I prefer that it be of the mountain brooks, the Parnassian streams, and not the town sewers. There is inspiration, that gossip which comes to the ear of the attentive mind from the courts of heaven. There is the profane and stale revelation of the barroom and the police court. The same ear is fitted to receive both communications. Only the character of the hearer determines to which it shall be open, and to which closed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
