Boxcar Tavern is the latest restaurant from Xavier Cervera (
Molly Malone’s,
Lola’s,
Senart’s) and features a menu heavy on comfort food and gastro pub staples, including
Welsh rarebit, London broil meatloaf, and
seafood lasagna. Opening just before the New Year, Boxcar Tavern sports a number of antique pub signs from the U.K., as well as old signs that hung outside Finn Mac Cool’s and the Hawk N' Dove, two Capitol Hill bars that Cervera took over. Located directly across the street from Eastern Market, Boxcar Tavern is small but a welcomed addition to the North side of Pennsylvania Avenue. Closest Metro is Eastern Market.
