TO OUR GUESTS:

After nearly three years of working very hard to be open for business seven days a week, 361 days a year to serve our community, we have realised that we have been spreading ourselves too thin to ensure the level of guest satisfaction that we strive for every single day. We are very passionate about being open for you when you want us, and we don’t want you to have to check a calendar when you get a craving for your favourite British & Irish food, beer, and spirits. But we also have to be realistic and be fully staffed, so to that end Lost Colony Tavern will be closed each Tuesday to give our employees an opportunity to rest & recharge to provide you with outstanding service six days a week.

ALSO…we are excited to announce the triumphant return of WING WEDNESDAYS which runs every year during #LocalsSeason from October through April! Join us each week on “hump day” for 75¢ wings in packs of 5, 10, 15 or 20 with celery and your choice of sauce & dressing, available all day long!

Get ready for a night of upbeat tunes with DJ Smilez on Friday, October 18th, from 10:30 PM to 2:00 AM. With just a $5 cover charge, it’s the perfect opportunity to dance and enjoy great music all night long. Don’t miss out on the fun!
