“The Historic Boone Tavern immediately draws you in with its genuine historical character and a palpable sense of place, complemented by a well-maintained property and helpful staff. While the charming antique furnishings and lively campus surroundings are notable, be prepared for the inherent acoustics of an older building, which can mean some noise from nearby rooms or the street. It's a noteworthy stop for those who appreciate atmosphere and a connection to history, especially when considering the reasonable dining options.”
