The event of your dreams.
Historic Drover’s Inn, formerly Vintage Restaurant, is located in Downtown Historic New Market, Maryland. The building dates back to 1793 and has undergone many changes through the years, preserving its history while meeting the demands of the present.
Historic Drover’s Inn’s three story building originated as a general store to accommodate the settlers and drovers traveling west. From there it transitioned to the Utz Hotel, then Mealey’s Hotel & Restaurant, and most recently Vintage Restaurant. Throughout its history hospitality, great food, and a gathering place for family and friends have remained the constant focus.
