Christiana Campbell's Tavern
George Washington frequented Christiana Campbell’s Tavern for its exceptional seafood in the 18th century, and today, the tavern continues to be a gathering place for lively conversation and thoughtful discussion. Guests enjoy our historically inspired, locally sourced menu, featuring shrimp, scallops, fish, and our renowned crab cakes and spoon bread. Nestled beneath the tavern’s storied walls, "The Cellar" offers a rare opportunity to step back in time and immerse yourself in the convivial charm of Colonial Williamsburg. With its authentic 18th-century ambiance, The Cellar invites a select group of guests to indulge in artisanal light fare, perfectly paired with your chosen libations.
We highly recommend making a reservation for Christiana Campbell’s Tavern, as seating is limited and demand is high. Arriving early will also enhance your experience and help you secure your place on this captivating journey through history.
