              About Us

              The Fool’s Lantern is St. Michaels’ first and only self-serve wine and taproom. Our self-serve drink wall features 12 draft beers and 24 wines, paired with a menu consisting of a variety of shareables, charcuterie, sandwiches, dips, and desserts. With our unique "Drink Wall", customers can sample a selection of wine and beer, each dispensed at the push of a button. This unique, self-serve option lets the customers select a sip, a taste, or a glass, allowing them to discover what they like best. Once they find their favorite, guests can enjoy a glass or more, order from the menu, and even purchase bottles to take home. Our drink wall will change periodically so you’ll never have the same experience twice! Dinner is available daily at 4pm.

              We have 2 televisions, seating for 49 inside, drink rails for standing and socializing, and additional seating for 12 out front. Please contact us at thefoolslantern@gmail.com if you’d like to reserve our space for a private event.

              **Voted Best Beer Selection and Best New Restaurant on the Eastern Shore**
