Another wonderful GW Tavern Employee Appreciation Picnic! ❤️

Our staff works incredibly hard all year long, so as the summer sun begins to set, it’s always nice to slow down, enjoy some great food, laugh a little, and celebrate the amazing people who make GW Tavern what it is.

This time of year is always a little bittersweet. Some of our seasoned staff are heading off to college or moving on to exciting new careers, while new faces are arriving to begin their GW Tavern journey. We’re so proud of those who are moving on—and excited to welcome those who are stepping in to help fill their shoes!

This weekend, come by to say goodbye to some of our favorites before they head off to their next adventure—and meet the new faces joining our GW family! 🥂🍽️

Come celebrate summer, good food, great views, and our staff with us at GW Tavern!
