1840 Tavern

“Love the people that place the food and especially the monthly Irish music session, usually every second sunday, 5 to 8:00 p.m.! Live traditional music by a group of great friendly musicians! Come sing and dance and enjoy! I drive a long distance just to join them! ☘️💚”

“The food was delicious!!! This is my first time going there and I liked the food, service and ambiance. I was not a fan of the Margarita nor the Piña Colada. I really enjoyed my dish and the dessert was delicious! They had live music. It looks like this is one of the top places in the area. I would definitely go back.”

“This was a very pleasant surprise. I came here this past Wednesday for lunch with one of my top-tier chums who lives a few minutes away; I'm pretty familiar with Rockland County but had no idea there was this little area straight out of 1800 over here. Adorable. We were debating between this place and a brunchier establishment across the parking lot, but this won out largely because the sunny outdoor patio area beckoned and it seemed like the perfect spot for our outdoor eating seasonal debut. I always get a little hot and bothered when I see tater skins on an apps menu, so that was an easy call for us. The waiter told us immediately they were "homemade" and not processed - in hindsight, I'm not really sure what would distinguish them as homemade other than that they don't come out of a TGI Fridays box in the freezer, but regardless, they were tasty. A LITTLE overly fried but hard to go wrong with the almighty tater. A lot of the entrees looked intriguing but I impulsively went for the fresh burrata ravioli (a choice that visibly startled my chum, who should really be used to eating with me after all these years, but no matter). Also good - the sauce was a little watery and the accompanying pieces of garlic bread were just okay but it was a solid portion especially for lunch and didn't last long. In hindsight, I don't think this type of dish is really their bread and butter so I'd probably get something else next time, but still ultimately a win. My chum got the Chicken Caesar Wrap from the specials menu and enjoyed it - insisting that I take a picture of that as well. So enjoy that. It's here. In what was an encouraging theme, the dessert section also had a bunch of items that we both were interested in. After finding out that the bread pudding was a little TOO authentic for my palate (aka it had raisins in it), we ordered the Hudson Valley Apple Crisp. Delightful. I think it could have used a little more ice cream, but that was a pleasant palate cleanser. The real star of the show here - among an impressive list of contenders - was the service. We had a fantastic waiter who was very friendly and pleasant, with a lot of thoughts on the menu and restaurant overall. We also a brief visit from presumably someone in management/ownership who stopped by to check in on us, which was a nice touch. We were the only ones out on the patio and possibly in the entire restaurant, so arguably we SHOULD have gotten the lion's share of attention, but still. It was an intangible that legitimately and dramatically improved the overall experience, which is the ideal. I have some residual PTSD from the atrocious restaurant scene in the northern part of Rockland, but places like this ease my trauma considerably. Stick to the southern section.”

“We had a great time. Jukebox was paused and place played own music which added tremendously to the great atmosphere. Fish and Chips were devoured by our little girl (1.5yo) - great choice for little predators (: The Chicken Tenders were a HIT among our little man. (6yo) Over all the kitchen presented some capabilities, however definitely can try a little better. Especially when setting expectations as to HOW do we LOVE our burgers cooked. They switched the two burgers in the buns, and also missed on both of our requests. We decided to quit while ahead and didn't stay for dessert this time. To be continued.”

“Decent looking classic slightly divey pub, unfortunately it smelled like Cleaning products. My meal was one of the worst I’ve had in quite a while. Chicken pot pie. In the bowl were hard cubes of chicken and vegetables in what I would describe to be a soup. It wasn’t creamy, it was a soup. And the flavor left something to be desired. Typically the pastry top is cooked onto the bowl . What I was served was a room temperature, incredibly stale piece of “pastry“. I don’t know how this place gets a 4.7 on Google… It must be the drinks. My bloody Mary was pretty good. It’s not the prices. 24 dollars for the chicken pot pie isn’t super expensive but it’s not cheap either.”
