It was later named after a grapevine that grew on one of its walls.〔 It was a hangout for artists, actors, businessmen, lawyers, Confederate spies, and Union officers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ephemeralnewyork.wordpress.com/2009/09/30/greenwich-villages-legendary-grapevine-tavern/ )〕 The high concentration of Civil War Soldiers made it an ideal place to hear (or plant) military gossip, leading some to believe the phrase "heard it through the grapevine" originated here.〔 The nearby Jefferson Market Courthouse attracted many politicians including US President Chester A. Arthur who visited the tavern many times. It was demolished in 1915. ==References==
