Best place around for entertainment. Great bartenders and a staff.

Very friendly atmosphere! Great wings and fries!

We were there with a large party of family and friends following our daughters' graduations from a local college. We were about 20 in total. They tried their best, but the food came out slowly and in waves. The quality was average. The server was really very good and very apologetic. They just weren't prepared for a group as large as we were.

Nice spot for lunch and a beer. Plenty of tvs and good food. Staff was very nice.

Nice small place with many regulars. Occasional live music is pretty good, albeit rather loud for the area.

Oh my God. I love this place. I moved in across the street and will become a regular. Jenn and Cat are awesome. The owner is a doll. The people and food were fantastic. Best Pulled pork sandwich and cheese curds I've had since I moved here from Texas.

We visited this fantastic eatery for the first time last week. However, this is not the first time. We had a wonderful evening thanks to the superb service, the magnificent dinner and wine, and the reasonable price. We will surely return there again.

I'm glad I ordered fries just in case, because my luck with anything pasta is usually bad. I ordered the veggie pappardelle pasta with chicken, but alas...it never came with the chicken. Definitely not a vegan, so I ate as much as I could with chili flakes and went to town with the fries. Otherwise, the tavern's staff and regulars definitely have a fun personality. I was wearing a costume for a Spartan event prior and they couldn't help being curious and laughed together about it. The vibe differs because you'll walk right into a round table for the bar and the friends of the tavern. Then you'll go right and sit in church pews? I may come back again just to relax and have a few beers with friends since they live across the street.

I ordered the Kentucky Bourbon T.O.M. (Quarter pounder with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and bourbon glazed caramelized onions served on a potato brioche bun). It was awesome! The place is filled with locals so you know it's a great place. There was plenty of street parking when I went.

Great local bar with friendly staff and decent food.
