Shank’s Tavern is known for a lot of things: it’s friendly neighborhood atmosphere; its daily food and drink features; and it’s jovial owner, Bob Shank. Family owned since 1930, the tavern was built in 1814 by a retired riverboat captain by the name of James Stackhouse.. We offer a wide-ranging assortment of homemade soups, sandwiches, salads and flatbread pizza’s incorporating gluten-free, low-carb and vegetarian options and always using market-fresh produce.. If you’re getting the feeling that Shank’s Tavern is a one-of-a-kind, warm and friendly corner bar-you would be right!
