New Restaurant Opening At Black Horse Tavern

The Black Horse Tavern on State Street in Newtown will be under new ownership soon. Thyme Bar and Grill is taking over.

The tavern confirmed the business would be under new ownership, announcing they will be closed Mondays through the summer as the transition is made. "Look for New ownership of "Thyme" coming soon w/ great dinner and lunch menus...," Black Horse Tavern said via Facebook on Monday.

A request for information from the new owners was not immediately returned, but a Facebook page and website has been established. According to its Facebook profile, Thyme serves classic American cuisine.

The menu portion of its website was not complete as of Thursday.

It is not clear when exactly the transition will be complete. Check back here for updates as more details come in.
