Depuis 1746, le même bâtiment qui accueille la taverne Black Powder Tavern a joué un rôle dans la création de la nation. Il servait d'abord de lieu de repos pour les voyageurs en diligence qui rejoignaient l'Ouest, avant de devenir un endroit de rendez-vous clandestin pour George Washington, le marquis de La Fayette et d'autres héros de la révolution américaine.
Le bruit court que durant le terrible hiver de 1777-1778, à Valley Forge, le stratège militaire Friedrich Von Steuben, une figure majeure de l'armée continentale, avait choisi la taverne comme cache secrète pour les munitions de poudre noire des messagers de l'Armée continentale. À cette époque, la taverne continuait de fournir la nourriture, l'abri et la joie de vivre aux soldats fatigués et affamés qui luttaient pour leur indépendance.
Aujourd'hui, la tradition historique de la taverne continue d'être honorée avec pour mission de réjouir les clients. Vous pourrez déguster des petits et des grands plats et de la bière artisanale, tout en profitant de l'hospitalité révolutionnaire de la Black Powder Tavern.
Hook & Ladder is the unexpected steakhouse you’d never thought you’d find in the historic, original firehouse of the Washington Fire Company. This is a one-of-a-kind Skybar experience allowing guests a close view of our 149 year old firehouse, bell tower and original stained glass windows. A unique cross between a chop house and Crudo bar, Hook & Ladder features Certified A5 Japanese wagyu beef that will melt in your month. Dry aged Steak offerings including 32 days dry aged Porterhouse (28oz), 32 days aged Tomahawk Ribeye (40oz) that will taste decidedly beefy, much like a rare roast beef, while also taking on subtler hints of other delicious flavors. Crudo uses the Japanese technique of curing the fish making it more tender and flavorful. Finishing it with lime, lemon, and soy; featuring Wild King Salmon, Japanese Madai, Hamachi and more. Enjoy the purest and fresh take on some classic cocktails.
