Description:
In 1740 Ebenezer Byram renovated this old farm house into a prominent guest house. In the over 260 years that have followed, the BLACK HORSE TAVERN has catered to the discriminating tastes of its customers. Much of this history is still alive as you can see for yourself each time you enter any of the three magnificent buildings that make up this unique dining landmark.
A stroll through the BLACK HORSE TAVERN today continues to conjure up images of its illustrious past. The ceiling beams in The Pub were part of the original stable in the late 1700's that was the main stagecoach stop between Newark, New Jersey and Scranton, Pennsylvania. Much of the 18th century artifacts on display come from behind the walls of the Blacksmith Shop. These and other century-old antiques lend tradition and heritage to the warm atmosphere that one experiences even today in both The Pub and The Tavern.
Thanks to the efforts of expert restaurateurs Anthony Knapp and his son, A.J., a graduate of the Cornell School of Hotel and Restaurant Management, and a superb staff of professionals, the tradition of excellence continues. Why, there are days when, if you listen closely, you would swear you hear the stagecoach wheels rolling across the courtyard or the merry laughter of naughty prohibitioners discovering five gallon jugs hidden behind covered trap doors in the floor.Come to the Black Horse Tavern, Pub, & MacKenzie's - share the tradition, and the experience.
