A trio of local taverns will soon be joined by a fourth outpost.
Towne Tavern Hospitality Group is preparing to open its newest location, Towne Tavern & Tap, at 175 N Bedford St in East Bridgewater. The new eatery will replace Ye Olde Standish Grille, a longstanding local favorite which will officially close its doors on Saturday, May 17, 2025.
Founded in 2021 by husband-and-wife team David and Tori Barry, Towne Tavern & Tap originally debuted in North Attleborough. Since then, the family-run restaurant has grown to include a second Towne Tavern & Tap in Wareham, along with Towne Tavern & Treehouse—a cozy waterfront spot in Pembroke featuring a fireplace and treehouse-style seating.
Celebrated for its broad New American menu, Towne Tavern serves everything from chicken tenders and New England clam chowder to steak tips, burgers, tacos, and pizzas. The venue also boasts an extensive drink selection, offering a variety of beers, wines, and both classic and creative cocktails.
David told What Now Boston that while he plans to carry over many fan favorites, the new restaurant will also introduce a few fun, yet-to-be-revealed dishes. Additionally, he’s hoping to bring the group’s popular Sunday brunch into the mix.
“It’ll be a continuation of our brand itself, just stepping into the East Bridgewater market,” David explained.
The Towne team expects to close on the N Bedford St property in the coming weeks, with renovations—including bathroom additions and new furniture and equipment—set to begin shortly after. If all goes according to plan, Towne Tavern & Tap will open its doors early this fall.
