Regulars At Michael's Tavern Saddened To Hear Of Closures

PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. - Daily Voice dropped in at Michael's Old Village Tavern in Pleasantville for the last night for the much-beloved area hot spot before it, and two sister restaurants - McArthur's American Grille on Washington Avenue and Oliver's in Katonah - closed their doors.

Regulars at Michael's Old Village Tavern gathered for one last time at the popular neighborhood spot before its closing. Daily Voice spoke with several about why the place was special to them.

It seemed like the entire crowd in the popular family restaurant/bar was buzzing about the news, and no one was happy.

Al three are owned and operated by Doug Crossett of Katonah.

But customers who frequent the place - and a few we spoke with have done so for over 40 years (Michael's opened in 1976) - were sad to hear of the news.

"Michael's is Pleasantville," said one of the regulars interviewed by Daily Voice. "It's a staple."

Check out the video to see Daily Voice talk to patrons of Michael's about why the place was so special to them.
