About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for creative cocktails

Reservations only guaranteed for indoor dining. Outdoor dining will be open weather/temperature depending.

Taverns were a center of daily life in colonial times. They were the local, social and political hubs that spawned the thinking that led to the American Revolution. Tavern at the Sun Inn continues in this tradition offering a Colonial-inspired Seasonal food and beverage menu in a truly unique gathering spot.
Tavern’s culinary team is led by Billy Gruenewald. He offers a casual tavern-style menu that changes to match what is seasonally available and features some ingredients that would have been available to Bethlehem’s founders. Dinner is served on the Sun Inn’s second floor and light fare and drinks outdoors on the beautiful North Green when the weather permits.

Outdoor seating is first come first serve.

The hostess almost seemed annoyed that we came in and she had to seat us. We used to love the food at the tavern. Unfortunately it was just ok this time- not sure what happened to the excellent chef they used to have. Do not order the homemade potato chips- they were overdone and hard to chew.

This restaurant was a pleasure to dine at. The greeter at the door was very helpful and encouraged us to browse through the museum area while we waited for another member of our party to arrive. The history of the building is incredible. Take the time to walk through! The servers were very busy as there was a large group in the next room over. We weren't in a hurry so we didn't mind too much; they comped our drinks even though we didn't complain at all, which is unheard of these days so we were happy & impressed with that consideration. The menu was unique and complementary to the theme of the Tavern, but we felt a bit pricey. The meals were delicious though. We would go back again, and we recommend it to others, especially history buffs as there's a lot to see in the Inn in terms of that.
