The Hattery Stove & Still will mark its second anniversary with giveaways and specials on Thursday, May 19. The restaurant is located inside the Doylestown Inn at 18 West State Street.

From 5 to 7 p.m., guests will receive free champagne and a complimentary menu tasting along with $2 draught beers, wine and cocktail selections.

“We’re so happy to be introducing Executive Chef Billy Gilbo’s new dinner menu and Bar Manager/Mixologist/Partner Jody Quigley’s new cocktail offerings on our second birthday,” said Doylestown Inn Partner Samantha McCarty. “We’re so grateful for our customers support for the past two years, and hope many of them can swing over to sample some of our delicious new offerings and toast our milestone.”

The menu will include: Chef Gilbo’s Lamb Chop Lollipops; Pork Belly, Scallops & Bacon with Carrot Puree, Edamame and Pickled Red Onion; Roasted Oysters with Pancetta, Caramelized Onion, Fennel, Anisette and Three Cheeses; Dijon Deviled Eggs; Red Wine Poached Crispy Parmesan Dumplings with Truffle Honey, Fig Jam and Olive Tapenade; and Fried Chicken Wings with Roasted Garlic Gorgonzola Pepper Sauce.

The Hattery Stove & Still, which opened in May 2014, is an “antique industrial” space that features vintage design elements, which pay homage to the property’s rich history.

“We set out to build a restaurant and bar that celebrates the history of the building, which was erected in the late 19th century and opened as The Doylestown Inn in 1902,” said Partner Todd McCarty.

The Doylestown Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and notable guests include Henry Ford, Pearl S. Buck, Dorothy Parker, Henry Fonda and James Michener. Legend has it that Oscar Hammerstein II composed the lyrics for the Broadway musical South Pacific during a stay at the inn, according to information from the restaurant.
