Farm to Tavern

Welcome

The Tavern on the Square has been a local landmark since 1931. Located one hour north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the heart of true Amish Country, The Tavern was thoughtfully restored and reopened in 2024. Rooted in tradition and built for gathering, we’re proud to carry its story forward.

Here, neighbors meet over honest food—thoughtfully sourced, made from scratch—and great drinks, from our craft cocktail bar. From lively dinners to classes & field trips, celebrations, and long tables filled with friends, this is a place made to be shared.

Deep Roots, Rich History

FARM-TO-TABLE FARE
AT THE HISTORIC TAVERN

Located in the heart of Western Pennsylvania’s Amish Country, The Tavern on the Square has been an icon since it first opened in 1931. The restaurant closed in 2020 and sat empty for nearly two years. New owners purchased the abandoned building in 2021 and have undertaken a major restoration. The focus is on all things local, tapping into the abundant talent that surrounds this quaint country town. Sign up for the journal to see what’s happening at The Tavern!
