Adjacent to the Jordan House Hotel, but with separate entrances, is the renovated Jordan House Tavern. There has been a roadhouse on this site since 1844 and it has hosted everything from church services to vigilante meetings in its history. The photos show that a lot has changed from an architectural perspective, but the same spirit of inclusiveness and casual welcome still remains. The renovation included the use of original beams and the fireplace is built from fieldstones that were originally part of the Jordan Housecellar: the old place is gone but far from forgotten. Niagara wines, beers on tap and a full bar are offered along with a menu of casual food that features soups, salads, burgers and other grill items. Not to mention hand-cut fries that are addictive! We have an outdoor summer patio area, but we are also ready for colder weather with a great fireplace and indoor pleasures such as a pool table in the mezzanine.
