Chowning's Tavern Description
Chowning's offers barbeque and sandwiches for lunch and dinner inside, as well as walk-up service in a garden setting. Kids will enjoy a frothy Williamsburg-made root beer with their meal, and will delight in the evening entertainment: strolling musicians, a truly amazing magician (a 10-year old still can't figure out how the potato appeared in a cup), and period games taught by servers.
Planning Notes
- Magical meal. This is a dining experience not to be missed. The sing-alongs, magic shows, and games -- plus triangular crayons and coloring menus for the kids -- make it an unforgettable meal.
- After 8. The tavern caters to a more adult crowd after 8 p.m., but servers are still conscious of the needs and desires of families catching a late meal.
