Relaxing or Dancing at Plummers Tavern
Named after elusive J.P. Plummer, a rum-runner during Prohibition and the Great Depression, Plummer's Tavern calls itself "the place where friends meet." Perfect for meeting friends and family, Plummer features casual dining in a relaxed atmosphere. In addition to a full bar, you'll find such eats as deep fried mushrooms, seafood platters and a killer kielbasa sandwich. Plummer's also takes pride in supporting local musical talent. On Thursdays, DJ Dean leads Karaoke Night, while Friday nights features acoustic music along with open mike. For those who love dancing, come on Saturday nights in which invites bands ranging from reggae to country.

Keeping Spirit(s) Alive at the Kelly Hotel
Rumored to house a number of spirits ranging from Civil War Soldiers to a black-bowtied Bartender, the Kelly Hotel dates back to the 1820s when dining out was either risky or a special treat. Almost two hundred years later, this tavern establishment still holds an image of the latter: house specials (try the prime rib salad or any of their special wings), friendly service and proximity to a number of fantastic wineries. Dress is casual.
