440 Route 22, North Salem, NY 10560
Est. 1971 · 440 Route 22 · Purdys, New York
Westchester's favorite burger, double-fried wings, and a proper pint — in the same warm room since 1971.
House Legends
Ask any regular. These are the plates that built the Blazer's name over five decades on Route 22.
Cheese, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and bacon on a hard roll. The burger that regulars — and one very opinionated burger critic — call the best in Westchester.
Fried twice for a shattering crunch, then tossed to order. Also available Buffalo, BBQ, or Teriyaki — or by the dozen for the table.
Our twist on the classic, alongside the traditional Corned Beef Reuben ($14.00) and Turkey Reuben ($13.50). Grilled, stacked, gone in minutes.
Drink
A rotating lineup of reliable pours, seasonal taps, and one of the best Bloody Marys in northern Westchester.
Our Story
The name comes from western Ireland in the late 1800s — a band of foxhunters who, after a long day's work, would gather in a rough hut to celebrate. When the merriment ended, they set the hut ablaze and watched it burn. The glow of the Galway "Blazer."
By the early 1950s, the little rest area on Route 22 had been fully converted into a restaurant and tavern — a welcome sight for travelers on the long road through North Salem.
The Blazer Pub opens its doors, bringing a piece of old Ireland to Purdys — hearty food, honest pours, and a room where everybody ends up a regular.
Fifty-plus years on, the Friday Lunch Crew has been coming since the 1980s, the wings are still double-fried, and the welcome is still the warmest on Route 22.
"If you haven't had their wings, you are missing out. Best wings I've had."
"Portions are huge. Food was awesome. The chili, tomato soup and burgers were amazing, as always."
"Always worth the wait — the food is great, always consistent, service efficient and friendly. Cozy, classic hometown vibe."
