Spruce Street Garden – Craft Tavern

From Alex and Georgia at Spruce Street Garden – Craft Tavern:


With a heavy heart, we have scaled back to take out and delivery options only. We hope to offer this as long as it remains safe, sustainable, and legal. We will be taking orders via phone ( 3369997300 ), as well as through Uber Eats. We will be offering curbside pick-up as well, on request. We are working very hard to work out the logistics of delivery and hope to provide delivery services in the near future!

On a side note, the concern and support we have received through these unsettling times means the world to us. Thank you guys for the continued support. We hope to be back to normal as soon as possible!
