What People Are Saying About Chaucer's Tabard Inn
The Editor

In Short – Consider this a cozy hangout for both students of literature and students of drinking. Stained glass, a series of Middle East-inspired lanterns and tapestry rugs on the ceiling give thelong, narrow room the look of an eccentric professor's study. It's the niceties that give Chaucer's a quietly loyal fan base: a menu of eclectic fare for vegetarians and carnivores, a jukebox stocked with timeless selections that's free weeknights and friendly service.

Great bar.
by jessicachole
Chaucers WAS our favorite neighborhood bar...until they closed it down and replaced it with some stupid yuppie bar/restaurant. Chaucers had the best burgers and an awesome staff. Never had a bad experience there. It was a great place to go by yourself, with one other person, or even with a whole group of people!
- Pros: Best bar in the neighborhood
- Cons: It closed...

Now Closed!
by SorarAmy
I loved this place! Sadly - it is now closed. Went there last night and the door was locked and several neighborhood people walking by said it closed three weeks ago. R.I.P. Chaucer's.
- Pros: It was cool
- Cons: Now Closed!

Good beer, bad food
by mncl425
The outdoor seating is nice and so is the beer list. The bartender was also very friendly. However, the food left much to be desired. The place is fine for a drink.
- Pros: good beer selection, cheap
- Cons: terrible food
