Bridge House Brats



Located in the center of Phoenix, New York, at Henley Park, on the Oswego River next to Lock One is the Bridge House Museum. Here The Brats have made a place for boaters to feel most welcome. The kids that work in Henley Park are called the "Bridge House Brats". They maintain the park and historical museum all summer long, keeping both the park and museum clean, operational, and safe.



The Bridge House hours are from 7am to 4pm on Monday through Thursday and from 7am to 8pm on Fridays and 7am to 3pm Saturday during the months of June, July and August. Closed Sundays. Free lemonade and coffee are served every day to all. The Brats are at our service from 7 in the morning until 4 at night, to run errands or serve you dockside. We are welcome to order from any of the restaurants in Phoenix. We simply ordered from the menus and one of The Brats will phone in the order, and gladly bring it straight to our boat. On Friday night, I had some of the best pie in world for only $1.

The following services are also available from The Brats:
* Wash your boat - Free

Not only are these young people the cutest and most friendly, they are some of the hardest workers as well as some pretty shrewd business people. Frugal Captain Mark would never pay $10 for two bags of ice but with The Brats “working for a donation only” even Captain Mark was willing to ante up some cold hard cash.
