Located in a charming 6 room small hotel, The Inn of the Hawke is popular with Lambertville locals who come to get away from the tourists for good beer and healthy twists to pub food.
Located a 10 minute walk off the main area of town. this historic Inn, circa 1860's, is owned and operated by Doreen and Melissa Masset. Doreen graduated from the Restaurant School in Philadelphia and honed her culinary skills at restaurants in Philly and New York. Melissa developed her restaurant skills working at restaurants in Boston, MA.
The interior is cozy, with tavern ambiance. One of the dining rooms offers seating alongside the wood burning fireplace, a nice touch during the colder months.
During the warmer summer months there is outdoor dining on the garden patio shaded by four 100 year old sycamore trees.
It's the best bar in town and the service is very friendly with a good selection of beers, including a dozen different beers on tap and twenty-five more in bottles.
