Cunard Tavern

We hosted a jack & jill baby shower for our daughter and son-in-law on Cunard Tavern's roof deck. Ours was the first roof event this 2025 season. The weather was great, food & drinks fantastic, and service top notch. You couldn't ask for a better venue for a small private party (we had 30ish people but their capacity is a bit more). Emily and John met us in advance of the party to talk about the set-up and food options. I could go on and on how good the food was (stand outs were the mortadella boa buns, shrimp cocktail, Mexican street corn, brussels and the freshest veggie crudité than I've seen in a long time... but there was so much more good food in addition to these!). Emily staged the food so that the buffet-style table was constantly replenished with more food and options. Our daughter is a vegetarian (and a few guests are gluten/dairy/nut free) and the staff were incredibly conscientious with these concerns. The bar is just as awesome... they have a roll-up window so your guests are not waiting on drink service as it is "manned" full time for your event. Sam did a wonderful job, and my guests loved their beverages (both alcohol-based and mocktails). Finally, the view from the roof is beautiful as you can see the water from their location. We chose to use the retractable awning because the weather was hot and sunny in the afternoon, but you can certainly go without for a night time event. Finally, this venue is one block from Tall Ship so it's easy to keep the party going:)

THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT!!! I got the miso salmon and the only word to describe it is addictive. My husband got the burger and enjoyed it as well. Music was a bit loud, but it was a Saturday night, so I really can’t complain. And they played the best 2010’s bangers. So again, can’t complain. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Accommodated my celiac disease and need for GF.
