Food is INSANE! Gourmet chef at a local bar. Best bar food you’ll ever have! Great place to hang out. Mature relaxed crowd, old school atmosphere just great people and good times. And insane food!

The food. The menu is a dinky piece of laminated paper. It just says things like “Reuben”. What it doesn’t say: rumor has it the Tavern has acquired the services of a professional chef who formerly worked in the Signature Restaurant / 95th floor Hancock building, and he’s running things here like a five star Michelin. When I got the Reuben, it didn’t just look good. It looked “plated”. Every fry perfectly fried and placed. I don’t even like Reubens that much but this one was amazing. LOOK AT IT. ITS A MASTAPIECE. savory corned beef and left the memory of perfectly buttered rye on my palate. WHAT IS THIS PLACE !?!

Julie is such a lovely bartend and I’m always happy to see her. Donna is something special and so down to earth – always happy to talk with her. Phil making some of the greatest food I have ever tried. Kylie always smiling and all of them making the atmosphere such a positive and always welcoming experience. Really love that place. Peaceful, service best of the best, music what I like.
Very very very recommending that place!! ❤️

I finally got around to checking this place out the last 2 weekends after my parents raved about the food here. We went on a Friday night for dinner around 5PM and then on Saturday around 9PM with some friends for drinks. I will say, the food definitely lives up to the hype and I love the bar games (pool, shuffleboard, darts), but the service is a big problem. Both times we were in there the place was pretty crowded (at least 20 people) but there was only one bartender staffed. On Friday night, the bartender was stretched too thin: manning the bar, waiting tables, running food, and apparently doing the barback work. It took about an hour on Friday for us to get in, order, and get our food – which was all cold by the time it got to our table (except the soup). There were other tables with couples getting dinner as well, so we weren’t the only ones. For a dive bar that’s gotten a lot of buzz because of the kitchen, you’d think that there would be a higher priority on food service – but it feels like an afterthought.

Saturday night was largely the same. It didn’t seem like the bartender was even able to leave the bar because it was so busy so our friends who wanted food had to wait at the bar to order. It’s more of a beer bar, but they also clearly make some kind of cocktails (which is cool), but slows the bartender down a lot. I bought a bucket of chips thinking it would make it easier to get me what I wanted, but the number of customers wanting drinks at the same time always meant at least another 3-5 minute wait. I like the divey atmosphere, but a big part of being at a dive is not having to wait in a line for a beer.

The vibe of the place was generally great. It is a little dark, but that’s usually fine with me, though the bartender was unable to read the specials when we were ordering food because it was so dark by our table. The music is also pretty loud. There are big speakers lining the exterior walls of the building, so I’m sure it’s not too bad if you’re sitting in the bar, but it’s pretty intrusive if you’re at a table – makes it hard to chat with the people you come in with.

On Saturday night, a few people also came in with some little kids to play shuffleboard around 10:45. Once the kitchen closes, I don’t see any reason there should be kids at a bar. I’d think the manager or the bartender would take some initiative here, but they were unable to pull themselves away from the bar. They were running around for almost an hour before they left.

I definitely want to check this place out again but the really need to get someone else working in the place, especially around dinner time on the weekends.

Friendly neighborhood Southside bar atmosphere, just expected normal bar food. The burger was house made perfectly cooked, medium and juicy, two slices of cheese, bright red tomatoes and the chef had homemade pickles. It was delicious! Hubby got the ribs, loved them, and I gobbled up the homemade potato salad. Perfect lunch on a Saturday afternoon for us. Belly up to the bar, chat with the folks and give it a try!

Food is mediocre. Chicken wrap was dry because they give you the dressing on the side instead of mixing it with all the goodies inside. Sweet potato fries were awful. But the worst part of this visit was that the bartender added shots to my tab, probably thinking I wouldn’t notice. However, not one person in my group of 7 ordered any shots. Be sure to bring cash as they don’t allow you to add tips when paying by card.

Whoever said this place is nothing special has never tried the food lol.

This place has the dive-bar vibe, but the staff are also very friendly and the service I experienced when I visited was excellent! But my biggest surprise was the food. My goodness, I didn’t expect the quality and presentation of the dishes we were presented. My praise definitely goes to the chef for some very delicous chile rellenos. His take on a dish close to my heart warmed me up through and through, and left me wanting more. Absolutely worth the trip and the calories!

If you’re not sure if you should give this place a try, ask your self if you enjoy a place with kind staff, and delicious food. If the answer is yes, give it a try!
