Since 1746, the building that houses this tavern has played a part in the establishment of our nation; first as a respite for stagecoach travelers expanding westward and later as a covert rendezvous point for George Washington, Marquis de Lafayette, and other leaders of the American revolution. It is believed that during the infamous winter of 1777–1778 at Valley Forge, a major figure in the Continental Army, master military mind Friedrich Von Steuben, designated the tavern as a secret black powder munitions stash for Continental Army couriers. All the while, the tavern continued to provide food, shelter and cheer to the hungry, weary soldiers fighting for their independence. Today, we honor our historic tavern’s tradition with a mission to raise the spirits of our guests. We invite you to experience the small and large plates, craft beers and revolutionary hospitality that is Black Powder Tavern.

As always, the General Warren was wonderful. Many good dishes s. This week, tried the chicken schnitzel- delicious! Two other guests tried the bronzino and raved about it. The mushroom soup is always a winner. Was a bit noisy this week but to be expected as it is holiday time. Typically very comfortable from perspective of background noise. Great local fine dining establishment.

Not very crowded and we dined at 7:15. Brick oven pizza is a plus. There are lots of appetizers or so it seemed but we were there for a meal. I have not been there since last spring probably but the real food menu has not changed much. I think you would get a bigger crowd with more main menu food choices. It is a pub but stretch the food choices beyond wraps, pizza and burgers. A vegetable besides fries would be a plus. I do like this place and would like to see it stay in Malvern but remember you have the Pig and Anthony’s to contend with oh and then Casey’s redo which I am not sure has opened yet. Food, service, and atmosphere all pluses this evening.
