Legendary Ulster Diner Closing After Over 50 Years of Service If you’re from Ulster County, especially the Kingston and Saugerties area, chances are good that you’ve been to the Barclay Heights Diner. Or at the very least, you’ve probably heard of it. I remember eating there years ago when I worked in Kingston. In fact, it’s actually been around since the 1960s. Barclay Heights Diner is like a Saugerties institution, but it looks like its time is coming to an end. I was surprised and sad to read on facebook today that after almost twenty years, Nick and Linda, the couple who currently operate the Barclay Heights Diner, will be closing the establishment this Sunday, March 7, at 8PM, according to a Facebook post.
