Love this place! Came in to enjoy lunch with my husband and had the best Birria Tacos I’ve ever had! So good I ordered 2 then ordered 2 more! Tiffany was the Bartender and was amazing! Jeff was the amazing cook! I definitely recommend coming here for the Service, The Food, and the energy this place brings! It is Kid friendly so bring the kids!

We enjoyed our lunch here on a Saturday. Food was surprisingly good for what we thought was going to be bar food quality. I got the smashburger with tater tots and my husband got the birria melt with sweet potato fries. Lots of different food options. Drink prices looked good as well. Nothing super fancy but service was great and we had a great meal.

We visited The Tavern/AC Sports Bar over the weekend to watch football. The sound of the TVs were all on but they had a DJ who would blast music in between commercials and then would give a play by play periodically throughout the game. This is distracting and did not allow for us to focus on the game and be able to talk to others in our group. A sports bar does not need a DJ. They do have a lot of good TVs but they were not synched to the game so there were delays in plays depending on what TV you were in front of.

If I could give this place a zero, I would.

The owners of La Strega Italian Ristorante recently purchased Tavern East. On the night of 11/30/2025, I was confronted by a man wearing a La Strega long-sleeve shirt who claimed to be one of the new owners. While I was trying to pay my tab, he and another individual began accusing me of reversing charges on my bank account.
The confusion came from a charge labeled “La Strega,” which I didn’t recognize, as I hadn’t known Tavern East had been sold. Given my past experiences with fraud, I assumed the charge was suspicious and contacted my bank. When I explained this, one of the new owners became angry, and the taller owner forcefully ordered me to leave. I attempted to pay, but the yelling escalated to the point where the bartender, clearly uncomfortable, told me to just go.

Outside, the tall man continued shouting. When I nervously laughed, he kicked me, causing me to fall. Police arrived, but without witnesses or visible evidence, no action was taken. The only potential proof would be the security footage, which may or may not still exist and would require a subpoena. In the chaos, I did not record the incident on my phone.
I’ve been a loyal customer of this location since the Castaways days, and even earlier when it was Buffalo Wild Wings. I knew the previous owners and only recently learned the business was sold.

I’m writing this so customers are aware that, as of December 2025, the new management created a hostile and unprofessional environment. I was simply trying to pay my tab and leave, but the situation was escalated far beyond reason.

I’ve been coming here for over 6 years and yes there are bad nights. But very hard between. The people here are gracious for their cliental and show it by stepping up when the chips are down. Devotion to one place when you can leave whenever you want happens all of the time. But these folks mean to keep it for what we know it is. As best as they can and as best as they will. They do!

We wanted a late night spot to grab something to eat. The food was good, except the fries. I had the buffalo chicken wrap which was really good and my boyfriend had birria burrito which was small but good. The concern was that my boyfriend went to restroom and said it was disgusting if would have known prior to eating would have left.

It’s a bar/restaurant and entertainment stage. So it’s obviously loud. Food was amazing and very warm/fresh. Would for sure go again. Karsen and chase were very good waiters aswell. Taco Tuesday 3$/ea. And margaritas are 5 buckeronnis on Tuesday aswell. Highly recommend:>

They were out of many beers from tap. Placed an order for food only to find out that the kitchen was out of rice. Server was kind and could see how frustrated we were, and let me have the cocktail I ordered for free.

I’d give this place another chance, but management/purchasing needs to step up. Friendly service though.
