Demise of an Irvington Institution

Many of you may not see it as I do, but recently Irvington lost one of its oldest institutions, The Eastway Tavern. I've never researched which was older, The Butler Inn or the Eastway, they are both longstanding institutions here in Irvington. I'm 65 years old, and I remember that my Dad & his friends spent many happy hours in the Eastway. I recently learned that it has not only closed but that the tenant moved the license too. That means, in all probability, that the Eastway Tavern here in Irvington will never again serve as a public house.
