Richlands Tavern

There is both a healthy humour and an interesting irony in the maxim telling us to eat, drink and be merry for the next day we are going to perish. It definitely has a taste of sad reality and an appetite for happiness knowing that man as a social animal, is gregarious; thus, would like to mingle and socialise with other people in a setting like a tavern. People come to a tavern with different thoughts and emotions but with the same intention. Friendships are either strengthened or destroyed depending on one’s temper or self-control. Others find acceptance and love from a stranger, and a majority of those who spend the night in Richlands Tavern go home tipsy and sleepy.

The above-mentioned scenario is living proof and concrete evidence that no man is an island. He cannot survive without the need to ask for help from other people. Even affluent and influential people need friends to talk to. Friends may come and go, but the right to be happy and full is both a right and a privilege. A right because of our freedom of choice or want. A privilege because not everyone has the audacity to come to a place of entertainment without bringing a dime or two for his food and drinks.

What is a tavern?

A tavern is a place of business where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages and to be served food. In most cases, travellers or transients avail of room and food service. A tavern is also considered as an inn since it has a license to welcome and accept guests and lodgers. Over time the terms “tavern” and “inn” became interchangeable and synonymous. In England for example, inns started to be referred to as public places, houses or pubs and the term became the standard for all drinking houses.
