Good sandwich!

by john0510

The chicken sandwich was the best ever! Can't wait to have it again. Great service too! We had walked around the city for hours and were so thirsty, the server did not mind pouring us pint after pint of water(free). We weren't in the mood for booze as we had a few mile walk back home.

  • Pros: Best chicken sandwich!
  • Cons: None as of yet

Great Brunch Spot

by offandaway

they have the BEST mimosas. they change the flavor all the time. melon and strawberry were both amazing.

also the website's menus are out of date but it gives you a good idea of what type of food they have (my favorite things aren't on there: the eggs benedict, tater tot scramble)

the hummus trio? perfection.

i should become president of this place's fan club. love it.

  • Pros: vegetarian friendly, great food & mimosas
  • Cons: service can be slow

BEST Burger EVER

by PinkClouds

I refer to their burger as the "S*x Burger" Why? Because it's better than s*x. This is absolutely the best and most addictive burger I have ever had.

Great food, friendly staff, best prices in town!

by emeraldgirl

My husband and I had brunch at the Tavern on Memorial Day. The place was packed with customers but the food was excellent and the staff were very attentive. We have eaten there frequently and have always had enjoyable meals. The menu is varied and inexpensive and the quality of the food is top notch. Even more important the staff are friendly and take great care in serving all their customers. I had some leftovers which I asked to take with me. The bartender informed me that my leftovers had been thrown out and asked that we wait around until a new order was prepared. This was a really nice gesture and is only one of the reasons why we will be returning to the Tavern.

  • Pros: Nice atmosphere, great food
  • Cons: None!

yummy veg options

by inretrospect

went here on a thursday night and it was pretty chill; had a good vibe. we didn't get any drinks, just dinner. the tempeh club i had was a little salty but really tasty. they have a variety of vegetarian/vegan friendly choices which is always a relief. i will say that $8 for a sandwich in a bar is a little much but it was good enough that i'd probably pay it again.

  • Pros: delicious veg options, vibe
  • Cons: pricey, a little too hip

wow, what a find!!!

by bethfox13

i stumbled across this place recently and was so surprised that i hadn't taken the chance to stop by sooner. I'm fairly new to the city & am finally discovering the better places in this neighborhood. the service was better than i expected (esp for a tavern/pub atmosphere) and the food was great. the beer selection was amazing and i was bummed out that i hadn't made it in time for their happy hour deal- half price beers!!! whoa! when i asked for help choosing from the menu the bartender was quick to let me know that the burger was "award winning." The atmosphere was really chill & i felt at home from the get go. Worth checking out!

  • Pros: friendly staff , great happy hour, good food
  • Cons: a little loud

Their burger is amazing

by el_moreno

They have a wide variety of beers on tap and bottled, but the very best thing is their burger. Is just the best I've ever had. Simply perfect. That fried hot pepper on top... addictive!
