Towson Tavern is a delicious scratch kitchen named in honor of the region's Colonial-era favorite of the same name, which was operated by Ezekiel Towson in the 1760s. The restaurant, which opened in 2012, serves up an ever-evolving menu of unique New American fare crafted with high-quality ingredients. It is helmed by Brian and Scott Recher, the owners of the adjacent Rec Room and Torrent Lounge, and showcases the culinary talents of executive chef Becca Hindman. Diners can choose from unique seasonal and local fare like steak au poivre in brandy cream sauce, Chesapeake Bay crab mac and cheese, pork marsala, and portabella mushroom cap pizza topped with housemade ratatouille. An extensive craft beer selection is complemented by a list of premium wines and spirits.
