Out of curiousity, I did a Google Search on Bunch of Grapes Tavern, and to my surprize, found quite a few articles.
Apparantely, the very first Masonic Lodge in the United States was also organized at the Bunch of Grapes.
Here's an excerpt of one of the webpages:
"Answering to an advertisement that appeared in the newspapers of the state of Massachusetts on January 25, 1786, Manasseh Cutler met with ten highly decorated military men at an esteem Boston establishment known as the Bunch of Grapes Tavern on March 1, 1786. During a three day conference at the Bunch of Grapes Tavern, the eleven men established the Ohio Company of Associates, or the Ohio Company. From this esteemed tavern the history of Southeastern Ohio was forever changed."
Including, of course, the chartering of Ohio University.
