Elizabeth has been hosting our weekly Sunday open mic for 4 years, since our opening. Rafter's Tavern has been voted BEST MUSIC VENUE for 3 years in a row by Readers of The River Reporter. Our incredibly popular open mic draws local musicians as well as performers who drive several hours to join us. This includes folks from Brooklyn, Oneonta & Warwick NY ... counties including Wayne County PA, Sullivan, Delaware & Orange County NY, and parts of New Jersey. The vibe is creative, enthusiastic - it's a warm and loving community where folks thrive - whether seasoned or first-time performers. "Watching folks gain in confidence and performing skills on our professional stage is a great joy of my life. I love my job"... says Elizabeth
