I quit drinking some time ago, but still head down to the Hollydale Tavern once in a while because of the great food and the lively atmosphere. Many of the town's most prominent business people and city officials are found there on a regular basis too.
These photos were taken during the lunch rush, so the restaurant side of the place was booming, and the bar was still closed. In Hollydale it is a city ordinance that liquor cannot be poured in a public establishment until after 3:00 PM
I know, this sounds strange, but Hollydale was a "dry" city until the late 70's
The best thing in the world is a giant half pound Hollydale Burger. Once you have had one of these beauties ... you will be forever changed. The fries are so good that ketchup is an option! Prices are still decent compared to many other parts of the nation, as five dollars will get you chow and a drink to boot.
This will be installment number one in my new "What the Heck is Hollydale" series that will run every Thursday. Next week will highlight the Hollydale Drug Store built way back in 1897.
