History of our Building
Phoenicia’s Main Street was constructed in 1853, The Sportsman’s
(formerly Dunphy Tavern) was established in 1938 by Mae Dunphy. It
was the favorite hangout place for Babe Ruth who spent much time up
here fishing. June 1939 Babe invited many of the locals to join him in
Cooperstown during the first-ever Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
The Catskill Mountains, including the Esopus Creek near Phoenicia,
are considered the birthplace of American dry-fly fishing and have
attracted numerous famous anglers over the decades. Other notable
athletes and public figures who have fished in the Catskills besides
Babe Ruth include baseball legend Ted Williams, and former
presidents Jimmy Carter and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Brio’s land was a part of the Dunfey Tavern. It was sold and in 1968
the Phoenicia Laundromat was opened. In 1973 the building was
purchased by Mike Ricciardella and transformed into Brio’s.
