History of the Towson Tavern

Towson Tavern, which opened in January of 2012, is a Scratch Kitchen with a globally inspired menu featuring the best ingredients from the Maryland & Mid Atlantic region.  In 2016, an additional room was added with a different feel. With this elegant space, we are able to accommodate business and personal lunches and dinners for larger groups. The restaurant's name pays homage to its Colonial precursor, which was a well loved watering hole for traveling farmers, run by Ezekiel Towson in the 1760s.
The Tavern serves a menu of ever evolving and unique American regional cuisine along side a premium line of wine, spirits, and an extensive craft beer selection. From tasty appetizers to filling dishes and decadent deserts, our cuisine is sure to satisfy your appetite for a delicious experience.
Please inform your server of all allergies
Ask your served about menu items that are cooked to order or served raw.

Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may increase your risk of food-borne illness
