King’s Arms Tavern

Taverns then and now
In the 18th century, Williamsburg’s taverns provided comfortable lodgings for travelers as well as serving as places to gather for meals, conversation, and entertainment. Proprietors prided themselves on serving filling meals using the freshest ingredients. Today, Colonial Williamsburg’s historic dining taverns carry on these traditions by providing a relaxed and comfortable setting for diners to experience some of the flavor of the 18th century—through atmosphere, entertainments, and food.
King’s Arms Tavern is a member of Virginia Green Restaurants.
Virginia Green, a state-sponsored program, recognizes members
of the tourism industry who have taken steps to reduce their environmental impact.
