Raleigh Tavern

Established about 1717, the Raleigh's namesake was Sir Walter Raleigh, who had attempted the first colonization of Virginia in 1585. Some adjourned to play dice in the gaming room or to feast in the dining room. The tavern served many interests. Theater tickets were sold at the Raleigh, and merchandise and slaves were auctioned from its steps. Though he usually stayed elsewhere Washington often dined at the Raleigh.
