Market Place Tavern is the latest concept and restaurant for Market Hospitality Group (MHG). The Tavern which overlooks the Litchfield Green, is the oldest public building in town and one of the oldest penal facilities in the state. It was built in 1812 to serve as a jail for British prisoners during the War of 1812. A cell block and a three-story wing with additional cell blocks, which now is part of the restaurant’s bar area, was added in 1846. The jail closed in 1992 and was used as a treatment center for men serving prison sentences. It shut down again in 1993 and reopened in 1994 as a rehabilitation center for women facing incarceration. When that center closed, the state decided to sell it.

The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and features “American Tavern Food” with Craft Beers and Cocktails made with local spirits. We look forward to seeing you!

    Our birthday dinner was definitely a mixed experience. The service was somewhat slow, the food took much longer to arrive than was reasonable (45 minutes), and the food was not consistent. The Cauliflower appetizer was excellent, the fish-n-chips was over cooked leaving it very oily, and my wife’s salmon, requested to be medium, was overcooked and chewy in places. Wonderful atmosphere, but strangely poor experience with the food.

    The food and service was excellent. The flavors were so well balanced. My girlfriend and I said we would split the Jailhouse burger. Waitress asks how we liked the burger, girlfriend says medium and I say medium rare almost at the same time. The burger comes out cut in half on separate plates each with sides. One was medium rare the other medium. Didn’t realize it until we were almost finished. I guess I’m impressed by the little things. Very cool decor too. We must go back.
