The only thing going for this joint is its history, and ambiance. Beyond that, just another bar really. It did have an abundance of interesting liquor options however. The interior is worth a peek, but I recommend sitting on the rear balcony overlooking the river walk below.
Cozy spot with historic ultra long bar, sexy lighting, and neat booths. Drinks are always heavily poured and menu items are cultured deliciousness. Intimate when empty, roaring when busy.
Everything about this place was enjoyable. The service was outstanding. Everyone we came in contact with was super pleasant. The atmosphere takes you back in time while the downstairs bar/restaurant has a dimly lit vibe & dare I say, trendy. Downstairs is where my only complaint lies. The bartender, Hank, took an amazing new experience & tainted it with his snobby, dismissive attitude towards my wife & I. I'm sorry someone with such poor people skills & no personality is allowed to be the first & sometimes last point of contact for such an amazing establishment. Hank dropped the ball & prevented this review from having 5 Stars. I hope nobody else has to have a similar experience with him. We'd definitely go back & enjoy another outing at this cool tavern, as one dimwit will not ruin this place outright. Cheers!
Came here due to all the good reviews - was a little concerned with the 'tavern' since we were coming for food, not drinks. Although it took longer than we expected, our burger & side of fries was delicious. They had homemade condiments - all very tasty & menu listed care in sourcing meats etc. Patty was juicy (but not greasy) even though we ordered it well-done. The apple turnover was great too. Service was attentive without imposing. We will definitely go back (especially since finding good food downtown can be a challenge).
Service was awesome. The fried pickles are disgustingly delicious! No other way to say it. The bison burger p***ed me off because it was SO good. Oscar waited us and was definitely well informed on the menu and drinks. My wife and I actually came about 10 mins before the kitchen closed, but Oscar was able to not only get our food order in but he also gave us an awesome recommendation. This place is a must visit. Great burgers, awesome environment. I will definitely make another visit before leaving!
