Duffy’s Tavern was established in May 1983 by John Walsh, a lifelong West Haven resident whose career in the restaurant business spans more than three decades. Prior to opening, John spent two years combing antique shops in Connecticut and New York for pieces faithful to the Emerald Isle that would eventually define Duffy’s unique character and ambience. The decor of the charming Irish pub along bustling Campbell Avenue boasts turn-of-the-century oak woodwork that adorns the barroom and dining areas, with shamrock-colored walls lined with traces of wainscoting complementing art-deco ceramic floors. The woodwork, which showcases an elegant antique bar and back-bar, features vintage hand-crafted tables and chairs. Take a tour National and local sports heroes grace the barroom and dining areas as well, accompanied by scores of old-time photographs and memorabilia depicting Savin Rock, a legendary resort hub and amusement park that dominated West Haven’s shoreline from 1837 to September 1966, when the seaside playground officially closed to pave the way for the Savin Rock Urban Renewal Project. The bar’s old-fashioned Beer Coil Cooling System is equally impressive, offering connoisseurs of good drink the coldest grog around, while the dining room’s extensive menu offers the finest grub around. See Duffy’s beer & wine list Through the years, Duffy’s has prided itself on an evolving menu, tracing its roots from double-decker tavern-style sandwiches to such traditional home-cooked favorites as Johnny Walsh’s Homemade meatloaf, corned beef and cabbage, and shepherd’s pie to impressive entrées with generous portions. See Duffy’s menus Today’s menu, coupled with a list of daily specials, includes a vast selection of steaks, chops, veal, chicken, and even pasta (Johnny’s wife, Ann, is Italian). Each dinner and Sunday brunch is served with a helping of Duffy’s famous Irish soda bread and Marchegian crecia bread (that’s northern Italian cheese bread for Americanos), which are baked fresh daily. Like its breads, Duffy’s buys only the best grades of food fresh daily. The tavern also cleans its beer lines every week to ensure quality and prides itself on cleanliness to provide the most enjoyable dining experience ever. We hope you enjoy Duffy’s Tavern! |
