This historic tavern is not your typical pubcrawler place. Built in 1740, this was a renowned stage coach stop between Philadelphia and Lancaster. Its storied history includes chapters related to President James Buchanan, and fabled song writer Stephen Foster. Diners gather in rooms with names like the “King George Room” and the “William Penn Room”, each with a working fireplace. The bar has its own room. The menu is upscale but not overly pretentious. We enjoyed our dinners (scallops for her, veal for me), and I was especially pleased to be able to quaff a couple of pints of Troegs Nut Brown (my favorite beer style, but first time for this brew), and even keep a souvenir Revere Tavern pint glass. They show their respect for good beer in that four of the five available drafts were quality choices - Troegs Nut Brown, Lancaster Strawberry Wheat, Hoegaarden, and Spaten Lager. Something with more hops would have been nice to see as well - perhaps there was something of that nature available in the bottle. Once I saw the Troegs Nut Brown, I was not motivated to inquire about bottle choices. This is a great place for dinner if staying in Lancaster County.
