- Blending old-school charm with new-age hospitality, Yesterday’s Creekside Tavern returns under new ownership with revamped dining, entertainment, and a deep connection to community roots.
For decades, Yesterday’s Creekside Tavern stood as a beloved cornerstone in Marmora. Now, under the stewardship of Blue Dog Hospitality and new owner Dr. Tim Fox, the iconic establishment has undergone a comprehensive refresh, offering a modern hospitality experience rooted in the character of the original.
Established in 1976, Yesterday’s has long been a favorite spot for locals seeking great food, sports camaraderie, and welcoming vibes. Today, it has been redesigned to reflect a contemporary sensibility while preserving the unique personality that made it a landmark. The revitalization pays homage to Philadelphia’s proud sports history, infusing the space with memorabilia and atmosphere that nod to decades of loyal fandom.
“Our goal was to enhance what made this place special, not replace it,” said Dr. Tim Fox, also the owner of the nearby Deauville Inn. “We wanted to maintain the soul of Yesterday’s while creating a space that could thrive in today’s hospitality landscape. It’s a balance of honoring tradition while elevating the overall experience.”
The upgraded venue includes a refreshed bar, newly designed dining areas, and an updated menu that offers familiar favorites alongside innovative dishes inspired by seasonal ingredients. From casual bites to chef-driven specials, the food and drink selection caters to both long-time regulars and newcomers eager to explore something new.
Guests will find a welcoming environment built for connection—whether it’s catching a game, enjoying happy hour, or taking part in one of the many community events that now define the space. Trivia nights, local collaborations, and neighborhood-focused programming foster a sense of belonging and engagement.
Led by a team of seasoned hospitality professionals, Yesterday’s is designed to operate like a high-performance venue while still feeling like your local hangout. From the service style to the carefully curated food offerings, everything is crafted with intention.
“People can sense the difference,” said a frequent guest. “It feels familiar, but everything—from the service to the atmosphere—has been elevated. It’s the kind of place you want to keep coming back to.”
In a time when many legacy establishments are fading, Yesterday’s Creekside Tavern is proving that transformation doesn’t mean abandoning the past. It means building on a foundation of memories to create something that speaks to the future.
As the tavern continues to evolve organically, the team is letting the experience do the talking. There’s no need for flashy relaunches—the renewed energy and steady stream of satisfied guests speak volumes.
