Description: There's no better place to be in the Summer in Rochester than out on the water! This month, TCW visits two brand-new stops on the line between Irondequoit Bay and Lake Ontario! We'll start our night on the Bay side....literally. Join us starting at 6pm at Bayside Pub (279 Lake Road, Webster, http://www.baysidepubwebster.com). Bayside started as a hot dog stand back in the 50's and has grown to a fun bar/restaurant that you can get to by car or by boat! Lots of space to enjoy outside and just across from the Town of Webster's Sandbar Park - a great place to watch the summer sun set. We'll be at Bayside from 6:00 - 8:00pm. (A couple notes: Bayside is "cash only". Also, we'll be doing our raffle prizes at 7:45pm, just before we leave Bayside.)

Our second stop of the night is just a walk down the road to the other side of Lake Road - the Lake side! Castaways (244 Lake Road, Webster, http://www.castawaysonthelake.com) is another beautiful spot you can reach by car or boat and a wonderful place to watch the sun set. An amazing menu and great drink specials await you! We'll be at Castaways from 8:00pm untl the last person goes home!
