How was tavern culture critical to the growth of revolutionary sentiment in the colonies?

Tavern culture was critical to the growth of revolutionary sentiment in the colonies, because taverns were where American patriots were able to group together and discuss how to start mini-revolutions which would lead up to the American Revolutionary War. The taverns also helped people living in rural areas learn how to do certain things, because there was a contact between people and this helped farmers learn new agricultural techniques (for example).
