Old Town Bar

If you are looking for a spot that perfectly bridges the gap between a historic landmark and a high-energy modern hangout, Old Town Pub in Bordentown City is your destination. Located on the picturesque Farnsworth Avenue, this venue is housed in the storied building that locals knew for over twenty years as the Farnsworth House. In 2017, the building was meticulously renovated and reimagined by local legends Michael Scharibone (best known for his decades at Jojo’s Tavern) and Scott O’Brien, who successfully preserved the building’s deep history while installing a state-of-the-art pub experience.

The atmosphere is a winning combination of “old-world charm” and “new-world energy.” Whether you are sitting at the massive downstairs bar or heading up to the more intimate second floor, you feel the history of the walls around you. It has quickly become the heartbeat of Bordentown’s downtown, acting as a vibrant hub for game days, live music, and serious foodies alike.

Features & Highlights

The first thing you’ll notice is the sheer scale of the drink program. The pub features a massive 30-tap draft system downstairs and an additional 20-tap system upstairs, offering a constantly rotating selection of local and national craft beers. For those who prefer the vine or the shaker, they offer a modern tap wine system and a creative lineup of “OTP Seasonal Cocktails.”

The kitchen is equally impressive, moving far beyond standard bar food. While they are famous for their “B-Town Burger” and creative smash burgers, the menu also features fine-dining caliber entrees like Jumbo Pan-Seared Scallops, Ribeye Steaks, and an extensive Raw Bar featuring local oysters. If you’re a wing fan, their “Drunken” wing sauce is a mandatory order.

Beyond the plate, the pub is an entertainment powerhouse. With live music every Friday and Saturday, Wednesday Trivia nights, and an outdoor dining area that is perfect for people-watching on Farnsworth Ave, there is always a reason to stop in. Whether you are there to catch the game on their multiple HD screens or for a quiet dinner upstairs, Old Town Pub delivers a premier South Jersey experience.
