The Immortal Tavern

The Immortal Tavern

Jim Adams
4.2/5 ( ratings)
Nothing has produced so much happiness as a good Tavern.

"What a place! You could have the president of Harvard at one end of the bar and Boston's best bank robbers at the other with everyone else in between." The Warren Tavern closed in 1813. It was reopened over a century and a half later in the shadow of an elevated railway in the midst of the gritty Boston District of Charlestown. The year was 1972, a decade of change. Few, if any, thought the Tavern would survive in a tough Irish enclave that didn't welcome outsiders. Remarkably, the Tavern prospered from the start and generated a clientele that was so diverse it became one of the most sought out bars in Boston. Find cops and crooks, party girls, movie stars, writers, politicians and longshoremen telling their stories. Their many tales and antics weave a colorful read, rich in character, humor and wit. Step inside the Tavern, join our crowd at the bar, and you won't want to leave.
