The Ancient Mariner is part of the fabric of our town. A gathering place after the 9th inning, Saturday lunch with the kids between soccer games, a beer with the guys (or gals), happy hour (any hour) - it's Ridgefield's own Cheers.
April 7, 1992 is a day owner Jessica Wilmot will never forget, it's the day The Ancient Mariner became hers. And, this year, she celebrates 25 years of ownership.
The Ancient Mariner posted a very special video on their Facebook Page featuring owner Wilmot talking about her 25 years of Ancient Mariner ownership.
The nautical-themed and pub-style restaurant has been opened for 43 years. "The restaurant opened in January 1974 and I came to work in the fall of 78'. In 1992, the owner wanted to move to Florida, so he put the resaurant up for sale and that's when I bought it - on April 7, 1992," Wilmot says in the video.
"If you've ever been to the Ancient Mariner, like and share this video," the Mariner writes on their Facebook Page.
Watch the video on the Ancient Mariner Facebook Page here and stop into the Ancient Mariner on April 7 for their Anniversary celebration!
The Ancient Mariner is located at 451 Main Street, in the CVS Shopping Plaza. Visit them online here.
