Mifflinburg Hotel & Scarlet D Tavern

Through the years, it has evolved from just a hotel to a dining establishment and tavern as well. The History of the Mifflinburg Hotel - The past lives on in this classic establishment. With the onslaught of new restaurants built every year, it’s almost a rarity to find ones that wish to preserve their history. Yet when you do, you often find unique character that cannot be matched by many of the

newer establishments. And when that character has an even deeper history, it offers more allure. A gentleman named Jacob Decard constructed the Mifflinburg Hotel in 1858 on the site of the former Stiltzer Hotel. Around 1915, it became a temperance hotel for a short time during the Prohibition years. A devastating nearly destroyed the hotel just one year later but luckily the interior was restored and even a balcony added to the front of the building. In the 1920’s Agnes Guyer and her daughter, Hannah Kistler, supervised the business. Under their management, the hotel earned a reputation within the community and outlying regions for the fine dining that one could find there. After extensive remodeling in 2007, our establishment now has 18 hotel/motel rooms that reflect the classic Victorian style with modern amenities. The restaurant/bar offers a full dining menu within three main areas: our tavern style bar, casual dining area & banquet space. The Scarlet D Tavern, fondly referred to by locals as “The D”, boasts a unique two-story bar with multiple TVs. The tavern has 11 different draught beers and a great selection of imported and domestic bottled beers. The addition of live entertainment and nightly specials make "The D” the place to be in Mifflinburg. The second level of the bar offers a dedicated Game Room space that overlooks the main entertainment area below. Live entertainment has been a part of the tavern for a long time. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, a band that played there wrote a song about ghosts that have long been rumored to inhabit the hotel. Ghost seekers have since them come to stay at the hotel in hopes of finding out firsthand if the rumors were true. Stop in and experience the unique tavern vibes during a night of entertainment and live music. Daily food and drink specials are featured throughout the establishment and on our social media.
