10Best Says

In a past life, Cold Spring Tavern was a stagecoach stop, a place for travelers to rest beside the stream, warm up at the fireplace and steel themselves for the trip ahead. These days, the character-laden restaurant and entertainment venue welcomes everyone from professionals to motorcycle-riders. It's a long-time favorite for game offerings, live music and weekend breakfasts. Live bands play every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Quail, rabbit and bear go hand-in-hand with steaks, burgers and other American fare. Breakfast fare ranges from venison sausage and omelets with black bean-wild game chili to huevos rancheros. Free parking right out front.
