What is the meaning behind Tin Lizzie?
For us at the Model T, it simply creates a separate venue with its own menu and themed area for outside dining with a full service bar offering amazing Smoked BBQ every Saturday (Noon-8pm) and Sunday (Noon-7pm) throughout the summer, weather permitting.
Meanwhile, during the week, it can offer an outside dining area after drinks and/or TOGO food purchased from inside the pub, when we have the staffing and customer flow allowing us to offer that as an option.
As for the name and its meaning... back in the 1920's there was a famous Model T race car named Old Liz. Then when Ford stopped producing the Model T in the early 30's and focused on the Model A, many Model T's began to rust and become salvaged cars throughout America... eventually gaining the nickname Tin Lizzie, another name for a Model T that has generally lost its looks and luster, but it is still a classic in its own right.
So in the spring of 2024, the folks at White Barn helped us rebuild our fencing with metal siding (which will eventually rust like the Model T's did) and revamped the area with 20 tables and umbrellas, full service bar and northwest metal work along the top of the fence to help offer a great extension to the already legendary 43 year old Model T Pub.
Come check us out this weekend!! A great area for families and larger groups that the pub normally cannot accommodate as easily or just swing in for a quick bite and/or drink while engaging in a great conversation with Kris and Chelsea as they serve you.
