The Old '76 House

Avalus

There is so much history here that at times the stories seem fictitious. But this is a tavern which competes for the title of oldest in the nation, and it can only be assumed that a lot of history happened here. We met the owner who regaled us with tales of George Washington, Benedict Arnold, Alexander Hamilton, and of course Major John Andre, the most famous spy of the Revolution who spent his final days here prior to his execution. I bought a few rounds of the Tavernkeepers '76 Porter, made from the same recipe given to George Washington during his stays. The food was rather expensive ($25.00 for a burger and fries), but otherwise it was an enjoyable visit to this historical tavern.

Fantastic dining in a charming setting! This place is a gem, delicious food and top notch service. The chef was super accommodating of our food allergies too. Can't wait to come back in the fall when all the fireplaces are going.
