Just of Route 30 is the tavern, it has a unique history dating back to the 1700s.

“This place was part of the Whiskey Rebellion so you had your sides fighting and the Jean Bonnet was a nice gathering spot due to the fact that 30 and 31 meshed right here where we’re at,” manager Tammy Kerr said.

Inside, a colonial atmosphere and food, like their ribeye, crabcakes, and homemade deserts keep guests coming back for more. That includes Susie Almgren from the Pittsburgh area, who has been coming to the tavern for 20 years.

“I was on my way to DC and was on route 30 passed right here and decided eat in DC or eat here,” she said. “I know here I’m gonna get great service, great food, and fabulous ambiance so that’s why I stopped.”

Upstairs is the tavern, with more than a dozen beers on tap from mostly Pennsylvania breweries.

Outside, the goats, a popular attraction for guests when they stop by.
