The Warren Tavern was probably the first building erected in Charlestown after the British razed the town during the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. It was founded by Captain Eliphelet Newell in 1780. Newell had been believed to have been a participant at the famous Boston Tea Party and as an ardent patriot and admirer of Dr. (general) Joseph Warren, it is natural that he named his tavern after the fallen hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Other famous visitors included Paul Revere, who had been a close friend of Warren's and stated often that the Tavern was one of his favorite watering places. Later after the Revolutionary War, General George Washington, on a visit to Charlestown to see his old friend Benjamin Frothingham, stopped here for "refreshments."

Atmospheric Charlestown tavern is steeped in history. - Contributor
In Short
Located in the heart of historic Charlestown, not far from Bunker Hill, the Warren Tavern dates back to 1780 and was reportedly a favorite watering hole of Paul Revere. Today, casually-dressed area residents use the tavern as a neighborhood hangout, watching the Sox and dining on sturdy comfort fare (angus burgers, porterhouse pork chops, stuffed quahogs). Live music is featured on Wednesday and Thursday nights, and weekend brunch service proves popular.
