Even though Post is a new name for most of us, it has been an important part of South Hamilton history since 1924. The historic building at 16 Bay Rd. was home to the South Hamilton Post Office, and a place for residents to send and pick up letters. In response to the Great Depression, and a drop in the postage rate (from three cents to 2 cents), the Postmaster added more opportunities for residents to pick up their mail. At Post, which at the time was known as “the brick block building”, letters were piled on a table, and a bell was rung to let residents know that they could come and retrieve their mail. Keeping with that tradition, guests of Post will have an opportunity to “Ring the Bell”, which signifies that they have bought a beer for our hard working kitchen and waitstaff. Whether you are coming in to dine with family and friends, grabbing a drink and an appetizer, or picking up takeout on the way home, Post is here for you – rain or shine.

First time visitor to The Autograph Tavern, we sat on the second level which had a bog bar area. Unfortunately there were a bunch of college football fans cheering for their team which made for a loud experience. It was the playoffs, so … but the restaurant is probably loud anyway, high wood ceilings with nothing to dampen the echoes. Service was attentive and pleasant. Decent selections of drinks and beers. Burrata appetizer was tasty. The mains all got thumbs up (I got fish tacos which were good but so overstuffed it was quite messy, less might have had better balance with the fish) and the Choc Cake dessert was good and large enough to share amongst 4 of us.
