Take leave of the 21st century, at least for as long as it takes to indulge in a scrumptious Revolution-era meal. Power down your smartphone when you enter this charming revolution-era pub in Pennsylvania. (Management actually requests that diners not use electronics to ensure the pub maintains a Colonial-era atmosphere.) Sip on some of the Founding Fathers’ favorite ales as a server, dressed in a period costume, takes your order in this historic Philadelphia pub.
Get a taste - both literally and figuratively - of Pennsylvania's rich history when you visit City Tavern in Philadelphia, which dates back to 1773.
If walls could talk, the historic pub would certainly have plenty to say. In fact, it would likely tell tales of such famous visitors as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams.
City Tavern honors its rich history through its decor and its dishes. In fact, all servers are dressed in period costumes, so you'll feel as though you've stepped back to the 1770s.
So, take a seat in this lively tavern that boasts a menu that pays homage to Colonial America with such dishes as roasted duckling, apple wood-smoked pork chops, and corn chowder.
Kick off your meal with one of the Founding Fathers' favorite drinks. Opt for George Washington's Tavern Porter. Or, order Alexander Hamilton's Federalist Ale.
Vegetarian options and a children's menu are also available. The children's menu features such dishes as cornmeal crusted chicken tenders, chicken and meat pie, and fish and chips.
