Craft Tavern Unveils "Elegance Meets Rebellion" in Dublin, PA
Peters, a familiar face in the Bucks County restaurant landscape from his previous venture, Craft Barbecue Co., brings a clear vision to Craft Tavern. He's made a steadfast promise: "great food, a friendly team, and a room you want to be in," emphasizing a deep focus on genuine hospitality.
The restaurant's interior reflects a thoughtful refresh designed to transport guests. Gorgeous brocade wallpaper, rich dark wood flooring, and dazzling new light fixtures perfectly encapsulate a welcoming 1920s speakeasy spirit. For those keen to capture the moment, an adorable selfie wall provides a fun, Instagram-ready backdrop.
Leading the culinary charge is Chef Ryan Lapsley, a Doylestown local and CB West graduate whose experience includes upscale steakhouses. Chef Lapsley’s philosophy is simple yet impactful: "We cook from scratch and we keep it fun." This commitment to from-scratch cooking shines through every dish.
Burger enthusiasts will rejoice in their special blend burger, crafted with brisket, short rib, and sirloin for an unparalleled depth of flavor. Wing lovers can choose between large, crispy wings smothered in either a rich bourbon brown sugar or a zesty sweet chili sauce. Entrees highlight local ingredients with standout dishes like Pistachio Crusted Chicken, comforting meatloaf, succulent braised short ribs, and a hearty bolognese. Chef Lapsley's passion extends to the sweeter side, with a frequently rotating dessert menu that promises delightful surprises.
Craft Tavern is quickly filling its bar stools, poised to become a local favorite thanks to its combination of tasty choices, upscale yet approachable atmosphere, and a rare Friday Happy Hour (Tuesday to Friday, 4 pm to 5:30 pm with food and drink specials).
