The actors were all outstanding and brought the portrayal of each of the serial killers to life, as well as serving great drinks to the audience. The actors were engaging and the show was excellent! I highly recommend this event!

Grabbed some burgers at the historic Hanover Tavern. Food was great, especially the fries! The tavern burgers pimento cheese was a good addition too. All the servers were great. Also extra points for having a changing table in the men's bathroom, very appreciated!

We had a great time. Drinks were delicious and well crafted for the occasion. Staff was on point with their story telling. Can’t wait to attend again.

My partner and I were recently had a Halloween wedding here, and I cannot recommend Hanover Tavern enough. Having an all-inclusive venue was so extremely helpful and took off a lot of stress when planning. The location is beautiful, especially if you're planning a Fall wedding. We rented the Coach House for our wedding, and had our ceremony in the courtyard. The Coach House has a nice rustic warm charm while still feeling modern. The history and theater of the venue is so cool and unique. They also recently installed a nice patio with a firepit and other heating elements. So our guests could mingle there comfortably in the chilly fall evening. Price was extremely fair, and there are many different options to fit your budget. We also felt extremely welcome as gay couple. The food is fantast

Hanover Tavern is well worth the small detour off of 95. My wife and I had lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Tammy our waitress was attentive and made our first experience here an outstanding one. My wife said her fried chicken sandwich was cooked perfectly. The fries came out cool, but Tammy was quick to bring a new batch of hot fries. I enjoyed the Cuban sandwich and the broccoli salad. Make sure you ask for mustard! We also enjoyed the pimento cheese, Hanover tomatoes served with crostinis. You do need to have reservations, which you can reserve online. Be sure to check their web site for other events including theatre.
