Two centuries under the same roof.
The stone building at the corner of Kettle Row went up in the late 1700s, and the taproom opened in 1801. Generations have pulled up a chair here, and the room still makes space for one more.
Late 1700s
The stone goes up
Fieldstone walls are raised on what will become Kettle Row - a building made to outlast everyone who drinks in it.
1801
The first license
The first keeper receives a license to open the taproom. The fire has not really gone out since.
1801 - today
Two centuries of last calls
The town grows up around the tavern. The name on the sign changes less than the century outside the window does.
Now
Same stone, colder beer
Half-pounders on the flat top and the game on over the bar, with a warm welcome for neighbors and passing travelers.
The house promise is generous portions, familiar service, and a barroom built for regulars.
