Reviews
Food is great! Debbie is the best bartender and makes the experience a whole lot worthwhile. Love the new TVs added! Don’t skip out on the live music on the weekends!
Can’t go wrong here. Friendly staff as well as clientele. Good typical tavern food, plenty to drink on tap. Exciting events.
I should’ve gotten the chicken pot pie. The roasted chicken was great but everyone else in my group had the chicken pot pie and when I tried it i was blown away. Super tasty and filling, great portion size too.
Phenomenal Live Music Venue with an Eclectic Menu
I gotta say, this venue for live music is awesome! Not only did we enjoy fantastic performances, but the tavern also surprised us with the most eclectic menu we’ve ever come across. From mouthwatering pastrami on rye to a delectable BLT with avocado (check out the attached pictures), and even impressive Italian dishes with – ready – home made zeppole, they have it all. It’s nuts to find such a diverse selection in what appears to be a “strip mall local bar.”
Crazy – what impressed us even more was the owner’s willingness to step in and take a table’s order when the staff was “in the weeds”. Their dedication to providing excellent service is evident, and it made our experience all the more enjoyable.
Although we couldn’t stay as long as we would have liked, we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the band “Trilogy” that was performing that night. They were phenomenal, belting out 70’s rock classics that had the entire place feeling like we were back in high school. I would go out of my way to see these guys again without hesitation.
Overall, I highly recommend this venue to anyone seeking an extraordinary combination of superb live music, an astonishingly diverse menu, and exceptional service. You won’t be disappointed!
We were on a short vacation and decided to come here for dinner. It was the best decision! Our server Mo helped us pick out the best appetizers/ entrees (100% recommend the mozzarella sticks, the wings and the burgers!) The food was delicious. The vibe here is fantastic! Highly recommend! Will definitely return whenever we’re in the area again!
