JJ's Tavern
About us
Western MA natives Jon and Jen Neumann established JJ’s Tavern in 2013 to provide the Florence community with great food, quality drinks and most importantly, a place for family and friends to gather. With an elevated menu (far from “bar food”), a private banquet space, an outdoor pavilion and ongoing entertainment, JJ’s has quickly become a local favorite. JJ’s Tavern has been and continues to be dedicated to providing a comfortable atmosphere for all of its patrons, serving quality meals and providing an inclusive space to celebrate the little and big moments in life.
