<p><b>Date Opened:</b> 1673</p> <p><b>Location:</b> Newport, RI</p><p>Originally a meeting place for local assemblymen, in 1702 the tavern was licensed to sell "...all sorts of Strong Drink" and became the birthplace of the business lunch when members of the council gained expense accounts. Officially named the White Horse in 1730, over the years the establishment switched between rooming house and tavern. Thanks to local preservationists, the building, with its gambrel roof, giant beams, and cavernous fireplaces, reopened as the White Horse Tavern in 1957. </p>
