The Abingdon Tavern

Haunted Abingdon Tavern Historic Restaurant & Bar
The Tavern, the oldest of Abingdon’s historic buildings and one of the oldest west of the Blue Ridge, was built in 1779. It was used from its beginning as a tavern and overnight inn for stagecoach travelers.

The Tavern has held such guests as Henry Clay; Louis Philippe, King of France; President Andrew Jackson; and Pierre Charles L’Enfant, designer of Washington D.C. The First post office on the western slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains was located in the east wing of The Tavern. The original mail slot is still in place and can be seen from the street.

During the past two centuries, The Tavern has served as a tavern, bank, bakery, general store, cabinet shop, barber shop, private residence, post office, antique shop and restaurant. It even served as a hospital for wounded Confederate and Union soldiers during the Civil War. In addition, The Tavern is home to the oldest bar in Virginia and is one of the oldest in the United States.

In 1965, The Tavern was acquired from the Thaddeus Harris Family by Mary Dudley Porterfield, wife of the founder of the Barter Theater. The Harris family had owned The Tavern for more than 100 years. In 1984, The Tavern was restored to its former glory by local attorney Emmitt F. Yeary.

In 1994 it was opened under the management of Max Hermann who moved to Abingdon in 1993 after having served twenty years with the United States Air Force. Max is a native German. The Tavern is now run by Josh Fuller an Abingdon local and long time General Manager of Max Hermann.

The Abingdon Tavern is one of several local restaurants featured with Appalachian GhostWalks' Haunted Southwest Virginia Vacation Packages and a featured stop on the "Haunted Historic Abingdon GhostWalk". Our Abingdon Ghost and History Tours are presented daily and/or nightly, year-round. Reservations are required so call (423) 743-WALK (9255) for reservations by telephone, or RESERVE NOW ONLINE.
