Before it was a bar it was a courthouse, in the 1700s.

A colonial courthouse in Bucks County would have handled everything: debt, land, theft, and the sentences that went with them, which in that century were physical and public.

What is reported here belongs to the older use of the building rather than to the tavern.

Bucks County is one of the oldest settled parts of Pennsylvania, founded under William Penn in the 1680s, and buildings of this age are still in ordinary commercial use throughout it.

The tavern is open.
