Welcome to the Broad Axe Tavern
What's New at The Broad Axe Tavern - View our January Newsletter.
After years of lying dormant at the corner of Butler and Skippack Pikes in Whitpain Township, the Broad Axe Tavern has been completed renovated and is now open for business.
This historic tavern was built in 1681 making it the oldest tavern in Pennsylvania and the second oldest in the United States.
Familiar to most in the area, the Broad Axe closed its doors in 2002 after more than 300 years.
A group of local businessmen calling themselves Broad Axe Partners, fronted by former chef of The William Penn Inn, Matthew Doman, took on the task of updating the landmark tavern.
The structure has been painstakingly stripped down and rebuilt to create a safe, efficient, modern building while maintaining its heart and historic significance.
Doman, who will run things from outside the kitchen promises a restaurant with a unique experience for everyone including 16 beers on tap, a comprehensive wine list that will include a selection of bottles for $21 and under, and a broad menu of 'tavern food' that will focus on small plates and utilize locally sourced products wherever possible.
