If you’re looking for an authentic tavern cuisine and rustic ambiance, Scotch Plains Tavern is the place to be. Located minutes from Essex Steam Train, Rt. 9, and I-95, guests can kick back with a drink and some wings in our newly renovated upstairs bar, redesigned in a modern vintage industrial style while maintaining the original bar from Oliver’s Tavern. The bar, retrofitted for additional space, was originally built in 1913 for a bar in Chicago where Al Capone is rumored to have regularly tipped a glass.

    We went for brunch and we loved it. Best brunch around, they have so many different foods. It’s hard too choose because no way can you try everything. Have been there quiet a few times and have never been disappointed. It is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for and more!

    We have been here a couple of times now and really enjoyed both, to the point that even though we’re 30 minutes away will make it one of our regular restaurants. The food was delicious and all 4 of us liked our meals very much (swordfish, fettuccine carbonara, etc). Great sauces, flavors and homemade pasta that was light and tasty! Our server was delightful and patient with us as we were slow to order doing much talking. The ambience is also very nice, casually warm with an understated elegance. The bar is also a great spot to wait for a table if needed, but also great to eat there if just two. I highly recommend!
