For centuries, the long winter nights after the solstice were a time for gathering close and sharing ghost stories. On December 23, join us in the warm glow of Annapolis’s oldest tavern for a night of winter hauntings, Yule-time history, and, since we are on the anniversary of George Washington’s 1783 resignation, tales of the drinking and revelry that filled the city that week.
Your $90 ticket includes a welcome cocktail, a three-course dinner (tax and gratuity is included), and two hours of ghost stories and winter history with storyteller Melissa Huston.
Menu Options:
Crab Cake Dinner - One Junbo Lump Crab Cake, topped with imperial sauce, and served with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies.
Penne Vodka w/ Chicken - Penne pasta with red pepper cream sauce and red pepper flakes. Can be served w/o Chicken for vegetarian option.
French Dip Sandwich - Shaved Roast Beef with provolone cheese on a toasted baguette. Served with a side of Bordelaise and fries.
Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich - Smoked Brisket, pickles, coleslaw and onion straws on a toasted baguette. Served with a side of BBQ sauce and fries.

I read the post about the Fright Before Christmas ghost dinner at Middleton Tavern, and it sounds like a fun mix of history, spooky stories and a warm meal in one of Annapolis’s oldest taverns. The idea of listening to tales by a storyteller while eating made me think of how stressed I once was with school when I take my statistics class for me from The Online Class Help just to get a break from all the numbers. After reading this, I feel like mixing history and fun makes learning and new experiences feel a lot more exciting and less scary.
