taverns
Places serving drafts
Taverns is the plural of tavern, a place that serves alcoholic drinks and sometimes food.
The word evokes an older style of establishment—the roadside inn where travelers stopped for ale and lodging, or the colonial meeting house where revolutionaries plotted.
Modern usage tends toward deliberate nostalgia: The historic district has cobblestone streets and old taverns.
