Our Story
Winnie Swanson opened Winnie's Tavern in 1962. Winnie gained her experience working in local Drive-Ins including the Chic-Chic. She opened Winnie's Drive-In at 16th and Dawson Street in 1957. Winnie was born in 1924 and was raised on N 3rd Street in downtown Wilmington. She spent her summers off Trails End Road. Her father was a Wilmington police officer. She had five sisters and three brothers. She worked at the shipyard during WWII and stayed close to the Sunset Park neighborhood most of her life. The "Tavern" was her life's work. With hard work, strong will and help from her daughter, Jeanne, they both worked for decades to make sure that Winnie's would continue to serve the best burgers and coldest beer in town. Winnie passed away in 2006 and her daughter Jeanne passed in 2016. Winnie's Tavern currently belongs to the third and fourth generations who proudly continue to serve "Wilmington's Best Burger." Featured January 2020 on Cooking Channel's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate!" featuring the Trailer Park Burger.
We look forward to serving you!
