There is a large parking lot on the East side of the property where you can park and walk in through the side gate. Those walking on Chatham St may enter through the front gate.
Unfortunately, no.
We offer a selection of charcuterie plates and allow food from Di Fara to be delivered to the bar. Scan one of their bean bags on site or add the "Hearsay delivery" option on their website.
Yes, your little ones are welcome, under a couple of caveats:
- Pets should remain outside on the Terrace or Porch on a leash. We do allow service dogs inside.
- Children should be supervised at all times. There's a lot of delicate furniture and compelling hide-y holes to explore, so please do not let them roam / run around the property.
We reserve the right to ask patrons to leave if they are disrupting other guests, staff, or The Matthews House property.
