MEWS (myooz)' Primarily British for stables down a courtyard behind a castle or along a lane.
Down a courtyard behind a building'a mews! Thats where our original location was and how it got its name back in 1964 when originators Nicky & Ray Wells started the restaurant. Ray was preparing the area for the business and found a bridle. After some research she discovered that the space was a stable where horses would cart oysters from the bay to Commercial Street. In 1993 we moved to our current location taking with us several antique articles including wood carvings from 1892.
A Unique Piece of History
There are two panels hand carved in 1892 which serve as a backdrop to our main bar. A third greets you as you decent to the Beach Level Dining Room. These panels were rescued from the Prudential building in Newark, New Jersey which, when built, was the largest building in the state and was a modernistic marvel featuring elevators. Unfortunately it was demolished in the late 1950s.
