- Blending neighborhood spirit with renewed energy, Yesterday’s Creekside Tavern reopens as a modern-day meeting place built for locals, beachgoers, and lifelong friends to gather and celebrate together.
In the heart of Marmora, Yesterday’s Creekside Tavern is undergoing a renaissance. More than a restaurant or bar, it’s once again becoming the community’s living room—a place where people come not just to eat or drink, but to reconnect. Under the stewardship of Blue Dog Hospitality and owner Dr. Tim Fox, the newly reimagined venue blends the legacy of its past with a bold new focus on local engagement.
First opened in 1976, Yesterday’s has long held a special place in the town’s collective memory. Now, refreshed and thoughtfully updated, the tavern is being celebrated not just for its food or its ambiance, but for its role as a gathering place where everyone feels like family.
“Our priority was to create a space where community comes first,” said Dr. Tim Fox, who also owns the Deauville Inn in Strathmere. “This isn’t just another business—it’s a part of Marmora’s identity. We’re building something that honors the past while embracing the needs and spirit of today’s residents.”
At Yesterday’s, every design choice, menu item, and event is curated with the neighborhood in mind. From the welcoming sports-themed interiors to the handcrafted food and drink menu, the tavern brings together comfort and quality in a way that feels both intentional and effortless.
The culinary program includes daily lunch and dinner, an approachable menu that balances old-school favorites with contemporary twists, and rotating specials inspired by local tastes. But it’s the events that truly bring the place to life—trivia nights, live music, and seasonal happenings that showcase local talent and build neighborhood pride.
Leadership at Yesterday’s isn’t just about management—it’s about presence. The team behind the transformation is highly engaged, ensuring every guest experience reflects the values of consistency, friendliness, and inclusion that define Blue Dog Hospitality’s brand.
Patrons are quickly noticing the difference. “It feels like a community again,” one longtime visitor shared. “You walk in, and you see familiar faces, hear good music, enjoy great food—it’s everything you want in your local spot.”
What sets Yesterday’s apart is not a flashy overhaul, but a subtle return to what matters: good food, great people, and shared moments. With no need for a grand reopening, the tavern is steadily building momentum through word-of-mouth, drawing in new visitors and welcoming back old friends.
