Tomorrow’s the big day…our 40th birthday, celebrating four decades on Sansom Street. This , we’re feeling especially grateful for the original crew that started it all: Mike and Bernadette Doyle, and Pete Moore.

New Deck Tavern has brought so many people together. It’s always been more than a bar or restaurant, it’s a place where regulars become family, and where lifelong friendships are made behind and across the bar. Here’s to 40 incredible years of good times, and to the next generation carrying the legacy forward 💚☘️
