Abingdon's most historic dining establishment, The Tavern occupies a stone and brick building constructed in 1779 — making it one of the oldest buildings west of the Blue Ridge — and has served as a stagecoach stop, post office, bakery, and social hub for over 240 years. The restaurant serves upscale Continental and Southern cuisine in candlelit historic rooms with original stone floors and hand-hewn beams. An extraordinary dining experience combining culinary excellence with unmatched historical atmosphere.
