Lively Station

Lively Station is a family-owned eatery, cocktail bar and bottle shop serving seasonal lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, with burgers and fries among the dishes guests mention. The cocktails are crafted by local artisans, and the bar is known for its outdoor seating options. A bottle shop stocks hundreds of local and regional wines and beers, and the espresso bar pairs drinks with rotating desserts from Sewell Sweets in Salem.

The building beside the Livesley train station began in the early 1900s as a general store and dance hall, and it still functions as a community gathering place. Reservations are accepted, and the space can be booked for private events and catering. Takeout is available and gift cards can be purchased. The restaurant sits on River Road in South Salem.
