Market Place Tavern is the latest concept and restaurant for Market Hospitality Group (MHG). The Tavern which overlooks the Litchfield Green, is the oldest public building in town and one of the oldest penal facilities in the state. It was built in 1812 to serve as a jail for British prisoners during the War of 1812. A cell block and a three-story wing with additional cell blocks, which now is part of the restaurant’s bar area, was added in 1846. The jail closed in 1992 and was used as a treatment center for men serving prison sentences. It shut down again in 1993 and reopened in 1994 as a rehabilitation center for women facing incarceration. When that center closed, the state decided to sell it.The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and features “American Tavern Food” with Craft Beers and Cocktails made with local spirits. We look forward to seeing you!

    Chrisy was our bar tender and server as we sat at the bar and she was a great mixologist and informative about the history of this amazing restaurant! Very cool built in 1812 as a prison until 1992! The restaurant kept much of the prison and did a great job with design! Food was delicious and cocktails yummy! If you are in the area this is a must!

    An unusual place that is historic and fun to go to. All out Hogwarts vibe. Rich wood etc. Chef is a CIA grad and his food reflects it. Everything seasoned properly and seasoned well with salt and butter. We had prix fix dinner which included a tasty and simpleamuse bouche, which was really an hors dourve. Appetizer course was perfectly cooked scallops and buretta. Salad course was the only thing that didn't live up to the rest of the meal. Two leaves of lettuce with cubed beets and a light citrus dressing. Entree was sea bass for us. Again everything was prepared meticulously with rich flavors. Lastly dessert was a classic creme brûlée and a deep dark chocolate cake. A real treat. We will definitely visit again.
