After 26 years as Proprietor, Chef Walter Staib recently announced the closure of City Tavern.

We certainly hope there is more in store for the Philadelphia landmark under the stewardship of the National Park Service, but it is not open to public guests for dining at this time.

Thank You to all who have joined us at the restaurant.  The memories made, will be treasured for a lifetime.

Chef Walter Staib continues his exploration of Colonial Foodways on his PBS television series, A Taste of History
