Fancy Dad

If your dad has a taste for the finer things in life, the restaurant at Gadsby’s Tavern Museum is the perfect place to explore. The museum consists of two structures, which are the tavern and the hotel dating back to the 18th century. According to the establishment’s rich history, it was the prime spot for people to gather and discuss politics, business, and socialize. The tavern was where all the dance, theatrical, and musical performances as well as meetings took place. The most fascinating historical tidbit is that 4 out of the 7 founding fathers– that is, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison– often visited this quaint spot and would enjoy the ambiance it provided. Likewise, your father will enjoy the unique, charming experience of the Tavern’s restaurant. With Georgian architecture, beautiful gas lamps and amazing food, this will be the perfect way to celebrate Father’s Day.
