This tavern is in Williamsburg, Virginia. The original Raleigh Tavern burned down in 1859 but it was reconstructed in 1932.
I'm only stretching the point slightly but I thought I would add the inn where Karl, Rob and I had a meal last night!
The view from the inn is pretty good too - across the River Trent.
