Blanchard's Tavern

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  Blanchard's Tavern devotes a page on their web site to a claim of a ghost at the tavern, yet they won't allow any paranormal groups to go in there and verify whether their claims about a haunting are truthful. Makes you wonder doesn't it?

  Step back in time at this 1780s tavern. Live entertainment every Saturday night from September through June. Doors open at 8pm & generally doors close at 11:30pm.
  
  Singers perform traditional Irish & English folk songs.
  
  Performers have included Janet Ashton, Lynn Feingold, reenactors Paul Revere & Rachael Revere, Larry Carlson, Ed Munafo, Sally McKnight & Jim Bucannan, Shawn Hickey, & Plymouth Plantation's very own "For the Nonce".
  
  The menu includes a nice array of drinks and foods - see the full menu here - <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blanchardstavern.com%2FMenu_Items.htm&s=187e88a754ce6ba22b72b97ab5734d6fc1dae1f17ff7e0bf7a8220cffdb1cffb" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.blanchardstav…</a>. Their dessert specialties are a favorite; including a delicious take on the classic colonial treat syllabub.
  
  A treat for history buffs, those who appreciate live tradtional music, and those looking for something different & new to do on a Saturday night. A bit of the colonial days without having to travel from the South Shore.
  
  Right on Rt. 28 the tavern is easy to find & if the parking lot is full you can park across the street at the Church.

  I am a history buff and loved that I found a place that where I could go back in time for a little while.  I believe it is only open during the cold weather months. I love the weird drinks and menu items.
  
  It is a weird night out as Mina said but I think Blanchard's Tavern is a fun weird night out.

  Why do I know about a Colonial Tavern in Avon, MA?  Because my aunt sings Colonial songs in traditional Colonial costume..  of course!  "The tavern" is generally open from 8pm - 11:30pm on Saturday nights - but, not year round!  An "interesting" place to come see or chill out with a drink or one of their funny menu/appetizer/dessert options.  It's not so much my thing but a lot of other people are wayyy into it..  Definitely a weird night out as you usually see people dressed up in strange costumes of days gone by.. Think of how surprised your history buff boyfriend would be!
