Little Tavern

Little Tavern Shops was a chain of hamburger restaurants in Baltimore, Maryland; Arlington, Virginia; Washington, D.C.; and surrounding areas.

The first Little Tavern opened March 24, 1927, in Louisville, Kentucky, by Harry F. Duncan.

[citation needed] The original slogan of the chain was "Buy 'em by the bag",[2] and its signs promised "Cold Drinks * Good Coffee".

The stores were quite small and could accommodate only a few seated customers, while most business was take-out.

3, was the first Little Tavern to employ the "Tudor cottage" design that would become so closely associated with the chain for years to come.
