1760 House
HISTORY
During the year 1731, a log house was built which constitutes the southern half of the present building and in 1760 the northern half was built.
In 1746, John Trexler applied to the Court for a license to conduct a tavern upon the site. The following is a copy of the original Petition, now on file in the Court House at Doylestown, PA, which was then the County Seat for the locality.
“The Petition of John Traxseler of Macongy Township humbly sheweth:
That whereas I live in such a part of the County where there is no tavern or house of entertainment near which reason I am burdened with Travelers, your petition humbly craves you would be pleased to grant me a Recommendation to his honour the Governor for this license in order that I may keep a tavern or house of entertainment for the support of Travelers and whose names are hereunder subscribed to Recommend him as a person filling for the business afore requested and your Petitioner as in duty bound shall pray Cr.”

CHEW ON THIS
Been going here for years. I have eaten wings all over the valley and these are some of the best hands down. Portions are large on apps. Always a good selection of beer. Service is always great even on extremely busy nights. I’ve never had a rude waitress here everyone is always friendly. The food here is always consistently good which is why it’s always a go to place!

My family and I love this place, It is our local “go to” spot. The staff are always friendly. Plenty of tap beer choices to go along with specialty cocktails, vino and your regular selection of domestics as well as your usual imports. Bar has a HUGE TV with smaller Tv’s about the building. The menu is good, definitely NOT overpriced. Great place!!

What a cool place. Indoor and outdoor seating plus a large bar. The best wings I’ve had in a very long time. Not too big and not too small, crispy, and sitting in a shallow pool of extra sauce. The sweet potatoe fries were spectacular. The bartender was pleasant and personable. Easy parking with a lot. I’ll be back in the near future. And then again shortly after that!
