You are close

The site is off the Google map below, to the left. The actual location is where Watts Passage (Route 600 from the left/west) intersects Route 20. You will see Route 20 makes about a 90 degree right turn there. North/above the intersection is the location of the former store and whatever might be left of the old tavern. I remember the store when it was in operation, but I can't identify which structure it is on the map. I think it is the big one that you would run into if you failed to negotiate the curve! I had never heard of the tavern.

I think the foundation is still there

Based on the map here I got this google satellite image. Am I close?
