Tavern Week

04.10.24 - 04.19.24

Taverns were gathering places for locals and lodgers in colonial times. People could eat, drink, and be entertained. Taverns played an important role in Menotomy (now Arlington) in 1775. The Menotomy Committee of Safety met on April 18th at the Black Horse Tavern. They discussed oppressive policies and the movements of the British Regulars. Those members who spent the night heard the Regulars advancing through Menotomy in the early morning of April 19th, the first day of the American Revolution.

During Tavern Week, we want to recognize the tavern tradition in Menotomy and encourage our residents and visitors to gather, eat, drink, and be entertained at today’s restaurants. Arlington 250 invites every restaurant in town to become a tavern during Tavern Week! Check back soon for details!
