Tavern 519

Tavern 519 sits on County Road 519 in the charming river town of Frenchtown, New Jersey, just steps from the Delaware River’s scenic promenade. The rustic tavern welcomes guests with reclaimed‑wood tables, exposed brick walls, and a spacious outdoor patio perfect for al‑fresco dining during the warmer months. Open Wednesday and Thursday from 4 pm to 10 pm, Friday and Saturday until 11 pm, and Sunday from noon to 8 pm, the kitchen, led by Chef Steve, serves a menu that blends classic American comfort with a few upscale twists. Highlights include a juicy grass‑fed burger with caramelized onions, a crisp seasonal salad featuring locally sourced greens, and the house‑made Crème Brûlée that reviewers call “fantastic.” The bar offers a curated list of craft cocktails, from a smoky rosemary Old‑Fashioned to a bright citrus gin fizz, as well as a selection of local New Jersey beers and wines. Prices range from $12 for appetizers to $28 for entrees, making it a family‑friendly yet refined spot. The interior’s warm lighting and soft background music create an inviting atmosphere for both casual lunches and evening gatherings. Reservations are recommended but not required; the staff will hold a table for 20 minutes after a confirmed booking. Tavern 519 also posts job openings for server assistants and hosts, inviting locals to join the friendly team. Follow the tavern on Instagram and Facebook for daily specials and event updates.
