The Washington Square Tavern

Washington Square Tavern makes room for both a burger and a longer dinner. The menu at this Washington Street restaurant includes local oysters, mussels steamed with pilsner and fennel, beer-battered fish and chips, and a butcher’s steak with truffle Parmesan fries. You can eat indoors, outside, or at the 12-seat bar.

Dinner reservations are available, and the tavern keeps seats for walk-ins. If you’re arriving later, check which menu is running: the bar stays open after the regular dinner service, and Thursday through Saturday brings a separate late-night food menu. Draft beers, wines by the glass, and cocktails cover the drinks side.
