Dinner

Dinner is served Friday and Saturday from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.

Cold Spring Tavern has been a haven for hungry travelers since the 1800’s. This old and weathered establishment, virtually unchanged since the days of the stagecoach run, is rich in California history and old time hospitality. If the walls could talk they’d speak of the thousands of colorful characters who once found solace here from dusty roads and the wilds of the old west. The horse-drawn coaches have long since disappeared but the Tavern still stands ready to welcome hungry travelers. The Tavern was purchased by Adelaide (Mother) and Audrey (Daughter) Ovington in 1941 and is still lovingly cared for by the Ovington-Wilson family and the Cold Spring Tavern staff.  We invite you to feast on a hearty, freshly prepared meal and choose from a wide selection of local wine, beer, and spirits while you enjoy your stay and reminisce about days gone by …
