Old-school watering hole in a Colonial-era building, offering drinks, pub fare & live music nightly.
Even though I've lived here 10 yrs, I didn't visit this place until yesterday, but as my buddy is visiting from out of state, we came for an afternoon cocktail- old fashioned. The bartender was great, even when a group of like 12 ppl walked in, he kept everyone taken care of. The ambiance and esthetic (saddle seats, even) give this place such a cool vibe, and the history alone is worth a visit.
We arrived at the bar just as it opened for the day. We were the first ones inside since we waited about 20 minutes for them to open. We planned on going inside and getting a pre-lunch snack due to the historical nature of the building, but we decided to get lunch. The food was excellent, and the bar started to pick up as we finished. The bartender could not be nicer to us, and we really enjoyed the experience. We cannot comment on how it is later in the day or at night since we were not there at that time.
They say this bar sold Edgar Allen Poe his last drink. Luckily they didn’t sell me mine. The bar seats are saddles and I can’t tell you how much joy that brought me🤠Great vibes and everyone was super friendly 🙏 even the tipsy Ravens & Lions fans🐦⬛🦁
Eva and the Manager made sure i had a good time even if it was a slow night.. it was a Tuesday so I wasn't expecting a packed house. Oldest continuous operational bar since 1775! Food is pretty good. I did have an experience I'll tell you that🤣 if I want going back to Texas in the morning I'd be there tonight! Definitely stopping whenever I'm in town. Oh yeah there's live music too
What a cool place! If you are into drinking while sitting in a little bit of history, then this is the place!! Come walk the cobbles and spend some time in the very saloon Edgar Allen Poe did!
