Reservations only guaranteed for indoor dining. Outdoor dining will be open weather/temperature depending.

Taverns were a center of daily life in colonial times. They were the local, social and political hubs that spawned the thinking that led to the American Revolution. Tavern at the Sun Inn continues in this tradition offering a Colonial-inspired Seasonal food and beverage menu in a truly unique gathering spot.
Tavern’s culinary team is led by Billy Gruenewald. He offers a casual tavern-style menu that changes to match what is seasonally available and features some ingredients that would have been available to Bethlehem’s founders. Dinner is served on the Sun Inn’s second floor and light fare and drinks outdoors on the beautiful North Green when the weather permits.

Outdoor seating is first come first serve.

    Had a wonderful get together after Christmas shopping in the historic section of Bethlehem. We were able to relax and enjoy drinks and food. They have a distillery where they sell the spirits that come from Martha Washington recipes and favorites. The cherry and blueberry bombs were a must buy!

    The overall ambience, food, and service was very good for tavern faire. The room we were seated in, became extremely loud as other tables filled in… Which they definitely know about as there were sound-deadening panels, and foam under the tables to try to mitigate noise. It’s an old (1700s) building, so it’s just something to contend with. It was our first time there, but it will not be our last. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu. Our server, Shannon, was excellent. She knew the menu very well, which helped us make food and drink selections.

    Enjoyed a lovely lunch here for my sister’s birthday! Love the old tavern atmosphere which is maintained well and decorated for the holidays. The staff was super helpful in getting my 95YO grandmother in with her wheelchair. The food was delicious (tavern burgers were popular) and the flourless chocolate cake was perfect: so rich and creamy (and GF)! Also enjoyed the stuffed mushrooms and hawk sliders (both very good). Thanks for being so accommodating and for the great service at a very busy time of year!

    Shout out to Jeb! Upstanding, awesome server. Stuffed mushrooms, pork belly and pretzel to start. Delicious. Red snapper with the corn roux and a lobster roll! Everything was delicious.
