Tavern is one of Thurmont’s newest dining spots, but it sits in a location with a long local legacy. The restaurant opened in July 2023 after owners Scott Austin and The Golf Group purchased and fully renovated the former Thurmont Bar and Grill, a Main Street fixture that had operated in the same building for nearly 40 years. Their goal was to transform the space into a modern, family‑friendly tavern while preserving its role as a community gathering place. The result is a refreshed, contemporary venue that still carries forward the tradition of Main Street hospitality.

Inside, 10Tavern blends a sports‑bar atmosphere with a neighborhood feel, offering a menu crafted by executive chef and general manager Ray Taylor. The business has quickly become part of the town’s social fabric, hosting fundraisers and welcoming both regulars and visitors heading to the nearby Catoctin Mountains. Though the tavern itself is new, it continues the long‑standing identity of its Main Street address—a place where locals meet, share a meal, and stay connected to the heart of Thurmont.
