“The design of the restaurant reflects the town of Ramsey, with historical pictures hung throughout,” says General Manager Geena Di Giacomo. In addition to their interior seating, Ramsey Tap Room can seat 48 for outdoor dining as well. “We have a beautiful and spacious patio surrounded by greenery,” Di Giacomo says.
Patrons dining indoors will likely notice the Wall of Honor. As a tribute to those who serve our country, the restaurant spotlights military, police officers, firefighters, and EMTs. In particular, the wall showcases men and women from Ramsey, and you can email them to nominate a local hero.
