Last Sunday, December 20th 2009, Alan and Lisa of the Canal Street Pub in Fort Plain held a party to show their appreciation towards their customers and employees.  So, of course, we had to stop by!

When I got there, the place was already packed, Nancy and Phil were playing on stage, and Alan and Lisa were making the rounds through the crowd. The pool table was set up with a great spread, from tuna salad pitas with roasted red peppers, ham and cheese, sausage bread, veggie bread, and shrimp cocktail.

I had a great time visiting with some good friends, good food, and good music.

If you haven’t stopped in yet, I strongly recommend you check them out. They are located at 9 Canal Street in Fort Plain. The food is made fresh daily, they have 8 beers on tap, and over 30 bottles to choose from. Each Thursday is a friendly in-house pool tournament, only $5 to play.
