5-Cent Beer Here

Mystic Seaport Tavern

The tavern was at the heart of 19th-century New England villages.

(c) 2004 Kim Knox Beckius
Of course, every 19th-century New England coastal village had a tavern. If you look closely at the sign on the tavern at Mystic Seaport, you'll see it advertises an offer that's pretty tough to beat--5-cent beer.

I didn't venture in, but my guide told me you really can order a 5-cent beer inside the tavern. It comes in a really small glass!

If you're in the mood for heartier food and libations, never fear. Mystic Seaport is home to three restaurants: Schaefer's Spouter Tavern, Seamen's Inne Restaurant & Pub and the Galley Restaurant.
