Black Horse Inn History

Proudly serving guests for almost 300 years, the Black Horse Tavern & Pub is New Jersey’s oldest continually running restaurant, dating back to 1742. It offers a cozy, rustic atmosphere that’s perfect for gathering with family and friends. Here, history meets tradition, with generations of guests making lasting memories. The menu features American classics, thoughtfully updated to reflect post-Revolutionary War standards.
The Black Horse Tavern & Pub is actually a renovated stagecoach house from 1740 and it served patrons who stopped along the way on the stagecoach before the Revolutionary War and even throughout. Recently renovated, the building's charm and character have been preserved while still enhancing the experience.
