The historic 18TH Century Stagecoach Tavern in Sheffield has long been a favorite stop for Berkshire South County and nearby Connecticut residents. The Tavern has had a colorful history since it was the Giles Andrews Tavern in 1829. As an English Pub in the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s the Stagecoach was the pit stop for racecar drivers from Lime Rock Park and a favorite locals’ watering hole..

Now part of Race Brook Lodge, the Tavern was re-decorated by Innkeeper Allegra Graham to revive the cozy fireside ambience of its early years. Elements of the historic building have been uncovered and complimented with decorative arts in keeping with Race Brook’s “chintz free” rustic style. Chef Sarah Dibben re-awakens that tradition with her individual interpretation of American comfort food prepared with the finest of local ingredients. The menu features nightly specials and an eclectic, reasonably priced wine list. The response has been extremely positive. The 2006 Zagat Survey qouted, “This ‘time stood still’ tavern in a stately Federalist farmhouse is a winner among city weekenders” and “the reasonably priced American vittles are simply prepared but delicious-just what comfort food should be.”

Race Brook Lodge father and son proprietors, David and Michael Rothstein, purchased the Stagecoach to secure the landmark restaurant for the enjoyment of the lodge guests, local residents, and Berkshire travelers. "We are very happy to have the opportunity of returning the Stagecoach to its glory days." The Tavern will serve dinner from 5 to 9 pm Thursdays, and 5-10 pm Fridays and Saturdays. Several smaller dining rooms and a screened porch can be reserved for private events.
