NOT Tun Tavern. This is City Tavern on the waterfront in Philadelphia. Although a very good restaurant in its time, it is no longer open as of fall 2020. Chef Staib had a wonderful menu and I enjoyed it every time. They are looking to reopen it says the owners, The National Park Service in 2022 sometime but as a former Marine, I can tell you that this is NOT Tun Tavern. There is a sign down the road a bit towards the memorials, which I highly encourage all to see, that details the approx whereabouts of Tun Tavern and its legendary birthplace of the United States Marine Corps...ooh-rah. Semper Fi
