remember fun? 8 How one turn off a busy road can make you feel like you've found a mini-vacation becomes less of a mystery when you learn that the owners of the Tavern are Will O'Connell and Jim Bristol, the creators of South Shore's must-go destination: The Range Bar & Grille in Hingham. For O'Connell and Bristol, fun and top-tier quality are both imperative, and dining out doesn't mean four walls and a parking lot. Just as the Tavern makes you feel like you've entered another world, walking into the Range affords a similar, pleasant bewilderment. Where else do you open the doors to a restaurant and realize you've just stepped into a sports bar, upscale restaurant, lively patio and expansive driving range all in one? It's no wonder that The Range became an instant hit when it opened in 2016. Coming soon, there will be more of the Range to love, as there are plans to add, among other things, more parking and an event space for fifty, complete with a patio. Well before the events of 2020 made a patio the place to be, The Range had redefined the entire concept. Dozens of tables are spread out over the lively turf area, beautifully landscaped patio and covered pavilion. Add in over 60 golf bays, relaxing Adirondack chairs, and the sunset view and it's no wonder the Range has always been a year-round place to meet, drink, eat and play. Signature cocktails, elegant yet fun appetizers, sandwiches FUN IS ROARING BACK THIS SUMMER AT THE TAVERN FUN IS ROARING BACK THIS SUMMER AT THE TAVERN Turning into the Weathervane Golf Club in Weymouth for the first time takes you by surprise. The long, straight drive down a tree lined path leads to a picture-perfect nine hole golf course and an uninterrupted, spacious view that is in short supply in the built-up suburbs. By the time you pull up to the clubhouse, home of the Tavern, and see the wraparound patio and people relaxing in Adirondack chairs, you are far, far away from tasks, traffic and endless Zoom calls.
