Historic Revere Tavern, Paradise - Bar # 184

For the past one or two months the Retired Guys have been promising to shorten our writeups of bar visits since we finally recognized our limitations as writers.  Today's writer had full intention of honoring the plan but finds it difficult as we had such an enjoyable visit to the Revere Tavern in Paradise.  When we sat at the really old bar we were warmly welcomed by Hunter, our bartender for the day.  We immediately were treated to a history of the bar/restaurant and one of the intriguing things we were advised of was that the name Revere in the restaurant had more to do with the brand of cookware/cutlery used at the time.  Turns out it was manufactured by the famous Paul but had little, actually nothing to do with his famous ride.  

There were 4 beers on tap of which 3 were of the craft variety and in addition bottles were avaiable too.  We met Tina, another employee who clearly had a passion for helping people as she talked with enthusiasm of her past participation in the Cancer Walk fundraiser.  Seems she might be inclined to get re-involved with that worthy cause in the not too distant future.

Following our first beer, Hunter asked if we would be eating and suggested that since it was Taco Tuesday we would do well to give the Tacos a try.  Both of the Retired Guys agreed after our first bite that they were the best Tacos either of us has ever had!  Thanks Hunter for the suggestion and a special thanks to Lauren the chef for preparing them.  We'll definitely be back in the near future to try other food items to see if they match up.  Hunter recommended Monday wings night and we may take him up on that.

Sitting in Paradise it is easy to assume that the Revere Tavern is just another tourist trap.  My impression is lucky tourists and lucky us for having such a niceplace to visit locally that has such history and offers great food.  We get to enjoy it for 12 months unlike tourists who only get to it one time.  If it has been a while since you last visited, go again - it really is a quality place.

The Blackworth Live Fire Grill, Lititz - Bar #183

They say Lititz is the coolest small town in the USA; I haven’t been to all the small towns, but Lititz has a new very cool pub/restaurant named Blackworth Live Fire Grill.  There is nothing else like it in Lititz.  The moment you walk in you feel the class of your surroundings and are greeted with a warm welcome from the staff.

The 10 drafts available are all quality craft beers and are backed up by an exceptional bottle selection.  Casey was serving us and was very attentive to our questions and made great comments and suggestions to aid our selection.  Even as the afternoon went on and the bar area filled, she handled everything smoothly and to the satisfaction of all of her patrons.  Casey’s cocktails looked amazing!


Once again I would refer you to a recent article in LNP spotlighting the opening.  The Retired Guys had another enjoyable afternoon in retirement at Blackworth and urge you to go try it for yourself.  We both give it a “Thumbs Up” and think you will agree.


Until next time, CHEERS!
