Grotto Pub Will Be Closed
The Grotto, one of several businesses that had operated at the property, including The Village Inn, opened in 2009. It was a stopover for ferry passengers arriving on the Susquehanna River in the 1800s and was called the Keystone Hotel. It was renamed the West Fairview Inn around the turn of the century.
Grotto Pub’s Food
