The Oldest Tavern in New Jersey | Sewell, NJ

The historic Barnsboro Inn in Sewell, NJ was established as a log cabin in the early 1700s but underwent a change as a tavern in 1776 when it was reported by then-owner John Barnes that there was a severe lack of rest stops along the road. The tavern itself has undergone name changes during its nearly 300-year history. It was known as the Spread Eagle, the Crooked Billet Inn, and the Barnsboro Hotel before its present designation as the Barnsboro Inn.

I’ve never heard of this Tavern before, but then again, I don’t often travel to the southern part of NJ (only the northern part of NJ in metro NYC)! This place has a great looking interior. Those huge murals on the walls are a nice touch…love the scenes of the past. That was one of the best French Onion Soups I’ve ever seen 👍🏼
Great video sir 👏🏼

Southern Jersey has some good taverns. Ye Old Centerton Inn in Elmer is one of the best!
