Filo's Tavern in Winchester TN   

A newer restaurant in Winchester TN..... I heard a buzz about the place and had to check it out.  At first when I did a google search for Filo Tavern in Winchester I found a quaint pub located in Winchester.. Though it didn't look quite like a new restaurant (in fact rather old), it had great reviews on TripAdvisor.  #5 of 12 restaurants in Winchester.  The only challenge was that if I was expecting a nice dinner out with my lovely spouse, it would be a long drive as this was located in Winchester, UK.

The correct spelling for the newest restaurant in Winchester, TN is Filo's Tavern. 

Filo's Tavern has created a new restaurant experience next to the movie theater on the Winchester, TN square - on the shores of Tims Ford Lake.  They opened officially on Nov 15, 2022 as the newest of Restaurants on Tims Ford Lake. The owners own a farm in Franklin TN and the tables in Filo's are built from 100 year old + oak trees from their farm that were pushed over in a tornado that came through a few years back. The Tavern moved in the location that originally used to be Jonny T's BBQ.
