The Oldest Bar in NYC

Established in 1762, Fraunces Tavern is New York's oldest bar and restaurant, a National Landmark with deep ties to American history. It was here that George Washington bid farewell to his officers after the Revolutionary War in 1783.

Today, visitors can explore the Fraunces Tavern Museum, the only museum in NYC housed in the oldest standing structure, to uncover the city's revolutionary past. Enjoy a pint and Washington’s favorite dish, chicken pot pie, as you step back in time
