We went later at night on a Saturday.. Greeted when we walked in, we were informed we needed to order everything we wanted all at once because the kitchen shuts down in a hour. (The entire restaurant and bar closes at 11, it was 8:57, kitchen closes at 10, we were out practically a couple minutes after the “kitchen” closed) Bar area was full and entertaining, seemed like all regulars, we sat at a table. Waitress was nice but felt rushed still. There was three separate menus: specials, reg menu, and drink. Wide range of food to order from, a lot of “comfort foods”. Tables are close together, wouldn’t recommend taking a infant or baby here, personal opinion, because of the tight seating and small atmosphere. Floors were semi dirty, straw wrappers around and such like it wasn’t swept recently(see in pictures, zoom in on floor. I understand if your busy but it only takes a minute and saw about five to six employees leave during the time we were there, so staffing wasn’t an issue) Food was excellent though, left full that’s for sure. I tried getting a picture of the outside but it was completely dark like the place was already closed for the night, no lights or anything. Parking is kinda tight in the area. On street parking only, not parking lot. If you have the time, explore the town a little. Great history in the area!

Always a nice neighborhood stop. This time went for drinks and desserts. It was quiet so they didn’t mind seating us however I would know better to try this in a Friday or Saturday. A rainy Monday in June though it happens. Woodside creamery ice cream makes me smile. The group loved the bread pudding. We have eaten here a bunch of times and I love the pot pies. The beer bible is huge and the selection of beer amazing. The restaurant is close to the water and a nice area to walk around

Interesting place to dine with servers in costume. Surroundings are great! Old New Castle is a very relaxing place to walk after dinner. The menu looked amazing, but the actual meal was disappointing. The food arrived very quickly after we ordered and didn't match the surroundings in terms of quality or experience. Having said that, definitely check out the bar for a huge beer selection and make your own judgement. I would recommend that you experience Jessop's for the atmosphere.

Great atmosphere-historic tavern in a beautiful old town. We had hot cider drinks on a cool windy day-perfect! And the servers' period clothing was a nice touch. Food and drinks were very good. Would definitely come back.

An amazing selection of beers! Get a reservation, seats fill up quickly. Lots of charm, this is a unique restaurant. The staff is friendly & dressed in period clothing. The food was rich and filling. Do your best to save some room for dessert, the ice cream is heavenly.
