Worth the drive to Northern Baltimore County’s horse country, the heart of Manor Tavern is the initial building dating from 1750. It has undergone several permutations, but "The Tavern” has grown into a fine dining establishment. Sit in the cozy bar or one of two dining rooms with a fireplace or enjoy al fresco dining on the large patio. Unique to the Manor Tavern is their beer can chicken served during their dinner service. The whole chicken is roasted atop a can of National Bohemian beer and served the same way it was roasted, upright on the beer can. The server will gladly cut and plate the plump, crispy skinned beer can chicken for the guests, although numerous diners enjoy breaking down the chicken themselves. Served with a side of pee wee potatoes and squash and the vegetable of the day, the beer can chicken is a reasonable priced dinner for two.
