Patriotic Looks at Martin's Tavern of Georgetown Est. 1933 by Peachy Deegan
Established in 1933, Martin's Tavern is one of
Washington DC’s most historic family-owned enterprises. For 80 years, Martin’s
Tavern has been a renowned fixture in the mid-Atlantic and a must-visit
establishment in historic Georgetown. In the late 1890's, William S. Martin
traveled from Galway, Ireland to America. Forty years later, he and his son,
William G. Martin, the current Billy's grandfather, opened Martin’s Tavern on
the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and N Street NW which is run today by our
friend, William A. Martin Jr. You can call him Billy! From sitting Presidents
and media icons, to city residents and worldly travelers, Martin’s Tavern is a
welcoming home to the many who have long embraced its warm atmosphere. Its
quintessentially classic American fare has delighted discriminating palates for
decades from the Oakwood Atlantic Smoked Salmon to the Filet Mignon to whatever
your little heart desires from the convincing menu. Every President from Truman
to George W. Bush has happily dined at Martin's Tavern, and you can see the delicious
culinary choices preferred by each in our review: Martin's Tavern is Highly
Recommended by Whom You Know:
The President’s favorite booths, The Proposal
Booth of Jack and Jackie Kennedy, Mickey Mantle in The Dugout Room, George W.
Bush and family at Table 12 are just a few of the iconic stories. Fourth generation
owner Billy Martin, Jr. continues the tradition of Washington’s oldest family
owned restaurant and Georgetown landmark.
