Tonight, December 12th, 2018 was a happy day in Lacey Township. The Lacey Township Board of Adjustments has decided to reverse it’s denial, and has approved all the necessary permits to rebuild the iconic Tavern on route 9 after the massive fire that raged this summer.
This past September, Caffrey’s requested a zoning permit to be able to re-build in place using the existing structure, but zoning officers were quick to deny the permit. During an informal meeting with Caffrey’s shortly after, Caffrey’s was told they would have to rebuild away from their original location.
But according to Sipe Adjustment Group, inc it was a standing room only crowd full of Caffrey’s supporters that were greeted with news that the Board of Adjustments was reversing it’s denial. Reports on facebook have stated that the room erupted with cheers at the news.
While doing research for this story, it came to our attention that Caffrey’s already had plans to open up an outdoor bar to help service the area before their main bar was open. Will both projects break ground at the same time now that they have cleared this hurdle?
Great news!!
Yayyyyyy!!!!

Wonderful news & congratulations!! There is a Santa Claus ? … early Christmas present for all involved. ☺
Or…in 10 years …..nj wants to make rt 9 wider and makes them tear it down and move it. Haha. What a joke. Its just a bar people
You’re entitled to your opinion; but it’s not just a bar – people from all over have some great memories there; plus the food ?, staff, management & owners are really good people. If you don’t have anything nice to say than please don’t say anything @ all..ty
Was being honest. All new buildings are moved back off of rt 9. 2 lanes are not enough. Need 4 asap. When decided its necessary, the place will have to be moved back anyway. Yes, been there many times, yes great people. But in the end…its just a bar
I agree. Just a watering hole. I was thinking about the widening of 9 as well, but you know if they haven’t done it yet in Lakewood, it’s gonna be a long time until they do it here.
Traffic is traffic-even if they widen rt 9 it won’t make a difference, you’ll still have knuckle heads that speed, text while driving, slow pokes; etc…..
Don’t hold your breath waiting for rt. 9 to be widened. Not in our lifetime.
Widen 9? It’ll compete with the Parkway, and that won’t be allowed to happen!

Yay
Good news
I see that envelope got a little fatter… Lol
Being that the board of Adjustments never actually denied Caffrey’s the right to rebuild this article is misleading. Caffrey’s was told they would require a variance to the current zoning code which the board obviously granted them after they presented their case. This is a very common practice.
