Check out this article about what’s happening at the Groton Hotel!

While Eddy Brennan’s Tavern will feature Irish-inspired décor to honor Ed Brennan, we will not be serving Irish-themed food. We will be serving wood fired style dishes and more!

Stay tuned for more details!

Inside the revamped Groton Hotel, new apartments are set to open Aug. 1 and an Irish-themed restaurant is targeting a soft opening by Groton Olde Home Days.

We’re excited to share an update on the bar and restaurant —we know you have been anxious to see it open!

Under the direction of Theo Bishop, the Bishop Brothers, Jesse Norton, Kim Lane and teams have done a phenomenal job renovating the Groton Hotel. It’s been incredible to watch the building come back to life. With the progress being made, we currently have a projected completion date of June 2026.

From the very beginning, our intention has been to lease the bar and restaurant while we focus on managing the upstairs rooms. The bar/restaurant opening date is dependent on finding the leasee. As construction continues toward completion, our search for the right lessee to operate the bar and restaurant is now officially underway.

If you know someone who might be a great fit, we would love your referrals or recommendations. Feel free to send them our way!

Drew Clare will serve as the General Manager of the Hotel.

Thank you all for your continued excitement and support—we can’t wait to see this next chapter come together.

We would like your help naming the rooms at the Groton Hotel!

We’re naming each of our extended stay rooms, and we want the names to reflect the community, history, and character of Groton.

Do you have an idea for a room name tied to:
• Groton’s history
• Local landmarks
• People who made an impact in the community
• Stories connected to the hotel or the village

Drop your suggestions in the comments! ⬇️

Thank you to everyone who voted and shared your thoughts on our new seating for the bar/restaurant.

Here’s what we’re going with:

✨ Booths: Diamond tufted
✨ Bar Stools: Swivel stools with padded seats and footrests

The diamond tufted booths bring that classic, elevated feel we were hoping for, and the swivel stools add comfort (with that padded bottom!) while keeping the warm, timeless look of the wood.

We can’t wait for you to see everything come together and thank you again for helping us choose!
