The Cornell Kitchen + Bar

Description of Property:
Located in historic Downtown Kingston, NY , The Cornell Restaurant + Bar (formerly Ole Savannah Southern Table and Bar) captures the clubby, convivial spirit of a handsomely timeworn speakeasy to a T; the long wooden topped bar and Marble tables; the glowing tiers of liquors; the tile floors; the customs retro light ceiling and leather banquettes.

In addition, the eclectic novelty pieces hanging on the walls, the enclosed glass and the dimmed period lighting, all conspire to create a vintage vibe. In addition to the overall refreshing of the interior décor by renowned design team Jackson Creative Group. The new kitchen design equipment will be also part of the renovation, including a sushi/raw bar station, Large Speakeasy retro Bar. The cuisine will be Global Fusion. Think American with riffs on traditional European dishes, imbued with a touch of Asian flair and a multi-cultural repertoire of dishes with unique twists and swagger.

In the mid-1800s, Kingston's Rondout Creek was a bustling hub of maritime activity. Thomas Cornell, a visionary entrepreneur, recognized the potential of steam-powered vessels and established the Cornell Steamboat Company. His fleet transported essential goods—coal, ice, bricks, lumber, and agricultural products—between the Hudson Valley and New York City, fueling the region's growth. Other families whose
names still familiar to our community today, like Dwyer and the Feeney, were also integral to the thriving shipbuilding industry, contributing to Kingston’s development and prosperity.

At The Cornell, you can enjoy a unique dining experience right on the Rondout creek, with views of the historic
waterway, passing boats, and the vibrant harbor. Our outdoor seating allows you to take in the beauty of the Hudson River region and Kingston's maritime roots up close. We invite you to join us at The Cornell, where history and community unite. Whether you're reconnecting with old friends or making new ones, our doors are always open to those who appreciate the enduring spirit of Kingston's waterfront legacy.
