The '76 House

This place is historic and dynamite. We had 3 appetizers. They were amazing. The history of this place is incredible. Every nook and cranny is packet with character. My duck couldn’t have been more perfect.

Five star experience from beginning to end. The escargot was well prepared and very tasty. The short rib ravioli app was just as good. Plenty of flavor. The sea scallops were soft with a great buttery flavor. The tavern burger was delicious! Cooked perfectly with awesome flavor. The Home made bread pudding was outrageous! What a great dessert. The crème brûlée was equally as good. Well made cocktails however the $18.75 charged for a Bulliet rye Manhattan was a little over the top. Sterling service provided by our very professional and attentive server Joe Bux B. He was kind enough to explain the history of The 76 House. What a treasured past . Great atmosphere and easy parking makes this one of my new favorites.

Me and my friend went to a book signing with Tim Kennedy a few blocks away and we were feeling very proud to be Americans afterwards. Somehow this spot came to mind because I had heard of it a few years ago and I'm so glad we decided to stop in. It feels super authentic.... Because it is. The building is older than our country is and it has been visited by many of our founding fathers and significant events have even taken place here. Supposedly George Washington loved the beer here so much that he brought the recipe to his family farm in order to make more. When we were there we enjoyed the awesome, tasteful live music. My burger was definitely delicious and all the employees were very helpful and welcoming. After the meal we walked around the place and soaked in all of the really cool pieces of History hanging from the walls. It looks like the front part of the building is the oldest and some of the back parts like the kitchen have been added over the years. They have beautiful fireplaces, But there were no fires going while we were there. It looks like there was some outdoor seating on the one side and there were plenty of tables so we didn't have to wait at all. It was a little more expensive than your average place but it was worth it. It was also a little more fancy than I expected And I will definitely be going back for a date night at some point, But it was still a good spot to go with my bro. Historians seem to agree that it is the oldest restaurant in the state of New York, But there is some debate about whether it truly is the oldest in the country. No matter how you slice it the building is super old, but there is some debate around whether the restaurant was originally located a few houses down before moving to its current location around the time of the revolution. You can do some googling and come up with your own conclusions, but either way you should go to this place for dinner because it's great!
