The Opossum’s Tale

In the British tradition of pub-naming, we thought about local agriculture, animals, and trades before settling on The Opossum’s Tale. The name pays homage to the Virginia Opossum, the unsung hero of Appalachia, and to Jonesborough’s International Storytelling Festival.

We are not only excited to share our space with folks wanting to gather in the evenings for a hot meal and cold beverage, but also to provide a place to watch Premier League Soccer, which is another of our passions.

We look forward to welcoming you to Probably the Best Pub in Jonesborough!
