The Black Horse Tavern & Pub

The Black Horse Tavern and Pub offers a cozy, classic atmosphere with its vaulted ceilings, plenty of booths and tables for groups, and a warm fireplace that made the room feel inviting. Even on a Monday, the bar area had a solid crowd and good energy. The bar has a small, but good selection of locally brewed craft beers. We tried a few apps—chips and guac, plus mozzarella and meat—and while everything was perfectly fine, nothing particularly stood out. The fish and chips had good flavor, but the crispy exterior didn’t hold up by the time it reached our group of nine, arriving a bit soggy. The tartar sauce could’ve used more dill to brighten things up. Overall, it was still a pleasant experience. The service and atmosphere carry the place, and we’d definitely give it another try.

Tried this place yesterday & it was okay. We waited almost 50 minutes for a table of two, while other larger groups were seated first, did not make sense to me. The food was good, we got chicken wings & mozzarella sticks to share. Entrees we got the steak sandwich & ribs which were pretty good. The drinks were okay, we got the autumn sangria which was decent. They had valet parking which was nice but we did find street parking. It was fine to try the first time, but def not worth a second visit.

We made reservations for Saturday night and met old friends for dinner. It was a special night out and the Black Horse staff made it perfect. Our table was ready and a very pleasant smiling hostess Katie seated us. Our server was Gerry and she took great care of us…she is a pro. The food was excellent and we already made plans to return next week!! Truly is a great place!

Mendham is filled with historical buildings, and this place definitely is. A renovated building from 1740 served patrons who stopped along the way on the stagecoach before there was a United States. Located on W Main Street, The Black Horse Tavern & Pub is considered New Jersey’s oldest continually running establishment, where my partner and I came for lunch today. The reservation was easily made via Resy. Upon entering as first-timers to the recently renovated pub, we were greeted by the host offering a cozy, warm, and rustic vibe. The upgrade has now expanded several dining rooms to include a complete remodeling with booths lining the walls, a fireplace creating a focal point, and tables in the center of the room. The Clam Bar room accommodates private celebrations. We got a high-top ta

Really good food, in a really cool space and our server Geraldine was super friendly and attentive. Putting on a show like this is challenging I’m sure and you guys pulled it off flawlessly. We will def be back. Nice job guys!
