The same content as the current site, but laid out like a real hospitality brand instead of a template placeholder.

The Maple Room

Restaurant & banquet facility

The Maple Room is styled after the Pine Room of the original Hancock House of a century ago when visitors and locals alike enjoyed a sumptuous private dinner or formal group occasion with a standard of quality and service the hotel is pleased to bring back today.

Open to hotel guests and the general public for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The newly remodeled Maple Room comfortably accommodates 125 people and is ideal for special events, large parties, business meetings, wedding receptions, reunions, rehearsal dinners, morning after breakfasts and other gatherings and functions.

Honest Eddie’s

Located off the main reception area on the main floor, Honest Eddie’s was inspired by and named in honor of John Edward Murphy, born in Hancock, New York, little more than 100 yards from the front door of The Hancock House.

The doors open at 12 noon every day of the week. Guests can order a variety of food from The Maple Room kitchen, from burgers to soup, along with drinks in a warm, comfortable setting.

About “Honest” Eddie Murphy

An honest drink at an honest price.

Murphy was a teammate of Shoeless Joe Jackson on the infamous Chicago “Black Sox,” yet he refused to be tainted by scandal and became known as “Honest” Eddie Murphy.

He played in a total of 3 World Series and broke into the big leagues on August 26, 1912 with Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics, posting a batting average of .317 in his rookie year. He later played for the Chicago White Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates.

When Babe Ruth made his debut as a pitcher, the first batter Ruth faced was Eddie Murphy from Hancock, New York. It is only fitting that this saloon, or as Eddie liked to call it, “Beer Garden,” bears his name a century later.

Eddie Murphy ended his career with a lifetime batting average of .287. But he never forgot where he came from: a small room over a tavern in Hancock, New York.
