Came in for Bourbon history night by Old Forester. We had a couple drinks at the bar, great beer selection and their happy hour cocktails were fun. The bartenders and servers were all very nice and accommodating. The Bourbon history dinner was to die for. The food was absolutely amazing. The Bourbon and the history provided were wonderful. They really took care of us, the dinner had a personal chef that incorporated the bourbons into the 4 course meal. Also, we left with a burger for my brother in law and he said it was great. Highly recommend.

My husband and I love visiting the tavern! We bring visiting family and friends here often. The historical elements of the tavern are truly so cool to see, but the food and drinks keep us coming back again and again! The staff are friendly and helpful, and they have great specials and cocktails. Recently we went for Easter brunch, and WOW My favorites are the captain's old fashioned and the fried brussel sprouts!

After some shopping in the area, my family and I visited Marlborough Tavern for an early dinner. They had a great variety on the menu and even some fun specials with it being St. Patrick’s weekend. Everything was delicious, and we especially loved their wings. Our server was friendly and attentive. The history of the restaurant paired well with our trip to Marlborough Barn beforehand, and we would definitely come back to do the same again!

10/10 came from out of state for a quick bit to eat. This is the rigatoni chicken parm! Perfect amount of crispiness and the vodka sauce is to die for. The “bottom of the pit” mixed drink was ammmmazzzinnggg. Apple crisp for dessert is the perfect ending. Can’t forget about the Carolina gold dipping sauce for the sweet potato fries!! Best food ever! Wish I lived closer!!

This is a very cool historic tavern with some great food options. I was very happy with the food and menu options. Service was decent, and the atmosphere is very nice, particularly in the historic parts. The fireplace and bar have a very warm vibe. A few more local draft craft beer options would be nice. But it’s a cool place. I’ll be back next time I’m in the area.

I live locally. Couple towns over and have been becoming increasingly aggravated with the size regression of grinders in all the local grinder purveyors. A friend suggested Marlborough Tavern and I was pleased to say the least. Take out order. Fast and friendly start to finish out the door in 5 minutes. Good amount of meat. Bread was great. I’ll be back!!!

Came here for the bourbon history dinner. What a great place!!! Spacious, not too loud, lovely atmosphere, and amazing staff. The food is WONDERFUL. I will definitely be back, and suggest you make your way here if you have never been! Drinks are priced very well and very tasty.
