Tumulty's Is No More - Now "Tavern On George"

That is what I heard as well. The Olive Branch is very well run, so I would expect the same for the restaurant if true.

Rumor has it that the owners of The Grove in East Brunswick have sold it to the Olive Branch.

Possibly changing from Tumulty's to "The Tavern on George"
I went into Tumultys this past Fall and they redid the entire interior and I thought it looked awful. They took out all of the charming wooden tables and attempted to modernize it. What a shame.

Yea, I was there some months ago and the atmosphere was horrid. I have no idea what they were thinking in the redesign. It was way too bright and I think fluorescent lighting.

I agree. There is nothing special about the new layout. I wish they would keep the name though. Lots of memories there. My friend lived above Tumultys during college so we were there all the time.

Lots of memories for sure! I remember it at the old site in the early 70s (JNJ there now). I always liked the place. Hopefully GReg from OB can revive it.
 
My wife had a surprise 30th birthday for me in the basement at Tumulty's. I have some very good memories there. That being said, I am very excited to see what they can do with the space once the closing occurs. It's a great location with amazing potential.

While it is not necessary to go back to the old Tumultys decor of large wooden booths, the decor should certainly be something in keeping with the tudor architecture.
 
Look, I’m not a traditionalist by any means. In fact, I prefer modernist and contemporary design. But there’s a time and place for that and this location isn’t it. That exterior begs for a rustic farmhouse interior.

Wow, they didn't have that place long. I'm glad that a new owner is involved and it won't be vacant.

Are they going to have the train in the new version? Would love for places like this in the area to play the Rutgers fight song each hour at eight minutes after the hour.

Are those whiteboards in the back?

At first I thought projection TV screens but you might be right.

I took these from online.

Tavern on George going after the corporate market, lol....hold your next meeting here!

Actually would have been great to have a bar in the same room for some of the company meetings I've had to sit through.

Just a head's up: I've shared your revamp of Tumulty's with my tailgate group in our organizational email for the Spring Game today.
