Taverns and inns played a critical role in colonial life. Just down the street from Arlington’s Robbins Memorial Town Hall, the Black Horse Tavern was the location where The Committee of Safety, a colonial organization that resisted British rule, met on April 18th, 1775, the day before the British Regulars pillaged and set fire to many buildings in Menotomy (present-day Arlington) on their retreat from Concord.
Today, Arlington is again home to wonderful taverns, restaurants, and gastropubs townwide. These include the Menotomy Grill & Tavern and Arlington Brewing Company, who have teamed up to host a special, festive Beer Hall in Robbins Memorial Town Hall this Patriot’s Day weekend with live music and family-friendly activities! Food as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for sale.
Huzzah!

For complete Patriot’s Day Week 2024 schedule, see https://www.arlington250.org/patriots24/. The week celebration is presented by Leaderbank.
