Just an FYI, rarebit is melted cheese.<br><br>And the red frame in the upstairs room was a fold-up bed frame as taverns in the 18th Century typically provided places to sleep for travelers, much like an inn.

Please note that the correct pronunciation of the tavern is: "Chew-ning's"; NOT "Chow-nings. One of my cousins is a direct descendant of the original tavern owner.

IT is a GREAT tavern. We don't get to Williamsburg much these days but when we go the tavern is a must.

Thank you for the video. Showing my nine year old daughter where her mom and I first met back in 2009 and how we had our very first meal ever together there at that Tavern. I proposed one year later while sitting at the same table at that Tavern! Now our daughter wants to visit! Thank you for the video, it brought back memories!

At 17m 10sec that was a bed. In the 18th century taverns were the equivalent of hotels. You could rent a room for the night at a tavern.
