They purchased the property in 2018 and have been in renovation overdrive transforming the restaurant, bar and motel rooms until just a few days ago. The bar features 20 taps and a new menu, which we’ll have more details on in the days ahead. What’s different about TB@SL is that unlike Drake’s, the y are opening for lunch and dinner.

And for electric car drivers there’s an electric car charging station – the only one for 40 miles. Watch this space for more information in the days ahead.

We recently published our 400th story here on Schroon Laker and to celebrate, we decided to give ourselves a makeover. From our humble beginnings last May, we have grown this website into something we are very proud of. We have thousands of unique users and tens of thousands of page views -- and that's just in recent weeks in the dead of winter!

We can't wait to see the traffic the site will attract in the weeks -- and months -- ahead as thousands of the "summer people" return. We look forward to Schroon Laker.com being discovered by a new wave of folks who love Schroon Lake and what it has to offer as much as we do! Where else can you catch up on all the news, fun, food and buzz!
