The tavern was erected in 1686 at the intersection of King (later called Water) Street and Tun Alley by settler Joshua Carpenter, brother of Samuel Carpenter, a Quaker merchant who made a fortune trading in Barbados. Joshua Carpenter built the Tun on the caraway that led to Carpenter's Wharf.[3] Tun Tavern was named for the Old English word "tun," meaning a barrel or keg of beer.[4] In the 1740s, a restaurant appelation, "Peggy Mullan's Red Hot Beef Steak Club" was added to the name of the tavern.[5]
