Legend has it that The Marine Corps was founded in 1775 at the original Tun Tavern in Philadelphia. The décor of the Tun Tavern Restaurant at the National Museum of the Marine Corps near Quantico, Virginia is in the style of a colonial era tavern, and features a large painting depicting famous Marines from the founding of the corps to the present day. Menu items are designed to be reminiscent of the time of the founders. Located on the second deck, the Tun Tavern restaurant seats up to 30 and offers a full lunch menu and alcoholic beverage service; catering services also are available for tour groups, reunions, and business and social events.
