the 2 lil taverns I frequented the most were both on Georgia Avenue: one was a few blocks north of the DC line (which we would hit after Shepherd Park closed) and the other was near Viers Mill Rd in Wheaton;
good burgers, really hit the spot after a night of beer

Oh what joy! Can it really be true?

Be still my heart – or maybe not considering that I ate my share of “Lil Tav” pucks in Wheaton, MD, back around 1980.

It would be great to see Little Taverns back in operation again. After all, the DC metro area has lost so many of its fine, old line dining establishments over the years – Lion d’ Or, Domenique’s, A.V. Ristorante, Little Tavern. Cruel, cruel blows…

Sure hope the Tav rumors are for real!

James,
When can we expect the first of the new Taverns to open, and will you be constructing new locations or using existing store-fronts?

Diner Hunter: I came across your articles on Little Tavern Shops, which included our posted information in Wikipedia. I thank you for your time
and attention to same. In response to all that is written about the passing
of Little Tavern Shops, the small size concepted is dead. However Little Tavern is not. As the Wikipedia Article states, we are moving ahead and will be opening New Stores in the MD-DC Area in the near future. we have retained every thing related to the past Little Taverns, from Design, Looks, Colors and Signage, including Pictures of the past & Harry F. Duncan, which will be incorporated in the Store’s and Marketing. I noticed some where in Your acticles about the Little Tavern Mugs. We have the Orginal One, which is being re-made and will be available for sale at reasonable Price. James E. Cumbest Jr. T/A Little Tavern Shop LLC. 410-661-4394 Fax 410-66-4397

Have you heard about Jax on the Tracks in Truckee, CA? My folks eat there all the time. The place was moved several years ago from it’s original location in West Chester, PA (where my family also used to live!)

It’s a pretty neat story. You shoudl check it out:
