The Barker Tavern is a casual fine dining restaurant, neighborhood pub and elegant function facility framed in a treasured historical setting.

 

One of the most noteworthy seventeenth century homes in America, the Williams-Barker house is said to be the second oldest standing house in the United States. In this historic building, the heavy beams and wooden walls, once pierced for portholes, bear witness to its use as a garrison in the year 1676. John Williams, the builder of the house, moved to Scituate from London.

 

Today, crackling fires, rustic yet elegant decor and beautifully appointed tables embrace each guest like an old friend.
