Tavern (original)

In 1947, the Mews Tavern opened as a local pub for fishermen. In 1990 local fishermen Dave Barns and Danny Rubino purchased this hidden gem and started transforming it into the place we all know and love today. Shortly after the partners took over, their friend Arthur DeFrance wished them good luck by sticking a dollar on the ceiling in the Tavern. From then on, people began leaving their mark on the Tavern by plastering dollar bills with messages all over the bar. Customers have even left behind personal memorabilia such as a bra, hoola hoops, and even an old pair of bowling shoes! This famous tradition continues today as the Mews allows its customers to immortalize their own space of the Tavern by stapling up a dollar with a message.

Any first time guest at the Mews Tavern would agree that when you first walk in the door, you know there is something different about this Tavern that separates it from anywhere you've ever been. On the ceiling and walls you will see thousands of dollars - each representing a memory from a different person on a different night.

Patrons can also take notice of the original 1947 paintings of the Colonial Man which are actually painted on the walls and tell a complete story of his experience at the Mews Tavern. Come in and see if you can put together his story, and then make up one of your own!

The Tavern is one of the more loud & lively bars in the Mews and with 69 beers on tap and a Juke Box that jams until 1am, guests can always have a great time in the Tavern! You can also find a traffic light on the wall which is a classic decoration and it's functional informing guests of the current bar time! The Green light (Bar Open) means party time while the yellow light means time for last call. Unfortunately the red light means you don't have to go home… but you can't stay here (Get Out)!
