An iconic South Shore dining spot whose space dates back to the 17th Century is going through changes.
According to a source, The Barker Tavern in Scituate is no longer offering restaurant service, with a Facebook post from the place seeming to confirm this, saying the following:
As we say goodbye to another challenging year, we want to thank our customers, staff, and neighbors for all your support in our time of need. Barker Tavern will close a la carte dining beginning January 1, 2023. However, we will continue to host current and future private events. More information will be provided in the coming weeks.
According to its website, the Williams-Barker house was constructed as early as 1634 and was used as a garrison later in that century. The property was purchased in 1978 by Eli Jordan and The Barker Tavern was established, with the Jordan family running it to this day.
The address for The Barker Tavern is 21 Barker Road, Scituate, MA, 02066. Its website can be found at https://www.barkertavern.com/
