The building is nearly 350 years old. The bar itself? Well, it’s a bit younger. Regardless, Jessop’s Tavern in New Castle Delaware is the real deal.

114 Delaware Street has stood since 1674—more than 100 years before the Declaration of Independence was signed. It started out as a private residence before being converted into a barrel-making enterprise by Abraham Jessop in 1724. Eventually, the site reverted to a private residence, but by the 1950s it was the Captain’s Log Restaurant.
