Cedar Tavern
• • •
Our crown jewel: the historic Cedar Tavern bar of Greenwich Village in New York City.
Built in 1866 out of pure mahogany from South America, the Cedar Tavern held court for more than 140 years in three different locations in New York City.
A living piece of history, it was the watering hole of choice for many notable artists, abstract expressionists, beat writers, and folk musicians.
On any given night you might have seen Jackson Pollock drinking and fighting with Willem DeKooning or Jack Kerouac. Or overhear Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, or Allen Ginsberg marinate on their next project.
In 2006, the Cedar Tavern Bar closed for good to make way for an onslaught of commercial growth. The partners of Eberly, who had also spent more than a few evenings spinning tall tales at the bar, didn't want to see this work of art end its run. So they purchased the bar, had it dismantled and moved to Austin, where it sat in storage, patiently waiting to paint its next canvas. It was a legendary place, and its beating heart–the bar–fits perfectly within the walls of Eberly, and in the soul of Austin.
Big Changes Coming
Starting April 17, Cedar Tavern will introduce a new menu with casual tavern-style dishes like fish and chips, a french dip, pot pie, and steak frites, all made with the same high-quality ingredients you’ve come to expect. We’ll also offer a daily happy hour until 7pm, with $7 martinis, $5 snacks, and $10 burgers.
While Cedar Tavern and Eberly are transitioning to separate concepts, there will still be some menu crossovers, as many starters and a few entree features will be shared between the two spaces. Please note, the Cedar Tavern will no longer offer the Eberly dinner menu. Reservations will not be available online and will mainly be walk-in based. Arrive early, as space will be limited!
