FILLMORE’S TAVERN
Fillmore’s Tavern has been a hot spot for over 100 years. The ever-changing venue and
activities has allowed it to thrive and flourish in changing times. From the founder’s wife
assisting births in the upstairs room, to hiding under the alias of a grocery store during
Prohibition, to the current bottomless weekend brunch skillets, no one can argue that Fillmore’s
Tavern has not only marked the time, but also kept up with it. Their delicious wines,
appetizing menu and unbeatable service make it no surprise that Fillmore’s has lasted more
than a century. Learn more at http://fillmorestavern.com/.
