There’s a secret spot to stay cool on even the hottest nights in Livingston this summer—it’s under the historic Depot portico listening to music at Uncorked! Recent evenings topping out over 90 found crowds collecting under the perfect breezeway, shaded from the sun under the turn of the century masonry enjoying the best in regional acoustic music. Of course, a crisp cold white wine, rosé or beer cools you off as well, and Uncorked serves a wide selection of wines from Oregon, California, Washington, and international locations. Try our wines on tap and pair a food special of the finest in cheese and charcuterie accompanied by a fresh baguette, veggie sticks or a crisp salad.
On two recent occasions, as the train passes on the nearby track, the performers have broken into “train songs” to the delight of the audience. Music typically starts at 6 pm on Thursdays and Fridays. Thursday, August 3rd, won’t feature live music as this is the night of the Livingston Hoot on Main Street. The Gourmet Cellar will be serving wine on Main Street to accompany the multiple street food choices.
