City Tavern Restaurant

City Tavern Restaurant Established in 1773, City Tavern was the location where the nation's founding fathers dined, drank & celebrated.
(1204)

Permanently closed.

The tavern was built “for the convenience and credit of the city” by a group of eminent Philadelphians who felt that their hometown deserved a fine tavern which reflected its status as the largest, most cosmopolitan city in British North America. Join us for the most authentic 18th century dining experience in America.

Miss my Tavern and olde city

After a wonderful journey, it is with heartbreaking sadness we announce the immediate closure of City Tavern Restaurant. While our chapter may have ended, there will surely be much more in store under the stewardship of the National Park Service of this 247-year-old treasure. It has been our privilege to be a part of so many special life occasions, and to have been a hallmark of the Philadelphia community through many great years, even during difficult times. Chef Staib would like to thank our friends, family, fans, guests, vendors, and staff for their stalwart support over the last 26 years of his proprietorship. Thank you!
