New Brookland Tavern, 122 State Street: December 2023 2 comments
I thought I had some daytime pictures of this place, but in the event I can't find them. The nighttime shots are suboptimal because of a big streetlight in the wrong place, but they'll have to do as a placeholder.
The New Brookland Tavern has been in this spot seemingly forever, with very few changes over the years. I Believe the last time I was there was to see The Explorers Club, which whould have probably been August 2011. At the time I recall thinking that the place was pretty ragged, and judging by the stories about the place moving, it doesn't sound like it has gotten any less so.
The building has been sold recently, and the Tavern's lease expires at the end of the year, so they plan to have the final shows in December, and hopefully find a new home in the new year.
You can check out upcoming shows for the final season here.
The story has featured several times in local media. You can read The State stories here & here, and the Free Times story here.

UPDATE 2 October 2023: Added a (still not great) daytime shot.

I've got plenty of pictures from the inside but I don't think I can post a lot of them on here.....NSFW....LOL.
I'm glad that these buildings are on the National Register. Hopefully that will save them from the wrecking ball just to be replaced by a Starbucks, 'fine dining' restaurant or another 'craft cocktail' establishment.

The building is over a hundred years old and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The link below shows what it looked like in the late 1970s when it was added to the list.
