Pennsylvania’s rich history often promises surprises at every turn. Think about it. How many times have you just happened upon a restaurant with an enticing menu that also boasts its own fascinating story of the past? If you like your meals served with a fascinating side of history, plan a visit to this charming tavern in Pennsylvania – one of the oldest in the United States.
Uncover the rich history of the Historic Revere Tavern, in Paradise, when you sit down to a delicious meal at the enchanting tavern, which first opened in 1740.
The historic tavern transformed into a private home in 1841, housing the Edward Buchanan family. The famous songwriter, Stephen Foster, is even said to have written music at the home.
By 1842, ownership changed hands again, this time to President James Buchanan. Today, the historic 1740 building provides an enchanting setting for hungry diners.
And, if you're bringing the little ones along, they can choose from the children's menu. Entrees range from spaghetti and meatballs and chicken fingers to mini pizza and the mini Revere burger.
Dine in the charming Revere Tavern, which serves dinner Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
