My friend and I were greeted as soon as we walked in the door by the bartender Matt. We sat at the bar as we are from Canada and wanted to get a feel for the place. Let me just say, he is an exceptional bartender. He was chatting with everyone and staying on top of everyone's drink orders. The Tavern was filled with great energy, great people and great staff. Not only that, but they had karaoke, and it was lots of fun listening to everyone sing their hearts out. 10/10 will recommend to anyone and we will definitely be back soon!
Went a few weeks back and had an amazing bartender. She was welcoming and gave fantastic service. So we decided to come back two more times. If you aren't a regular, you will get stares and very delayed service. No greetings, no anything. The bartender will just look annoyed and hand you the beer and then pretend like you don't exist again. Outside the terrible service, the bar is fun. Darts, pool, etc.. just don't feel welcome at all. Just don't dare go here if you are not a regular.
Great spot. Gayest bartender this side of the Missouri River and East of the Rockies! As a Friscan, that's important to me. Natives attended this bar as well. Big bear hug and a shot was had by this Island gal, and that was the peak of karaoke night for me.
Such an underrated place. I've driven by this place many times and not even noticed it, or just saw a scrappy, beat-up old building and thought it was just another dive bar, but after a couple visits, I've really enjoyed every time I stop by. They only serve beer, but they have something to please everyone. And what better ways to enjoy it than a few rounds of pool, some games, or good old karaoke! I'll be back for sure. 👌
My 4 stars is subjective. I like bars like this, it is a bit off the beaten path and a bit of a hole in the wall but I mean that in a good way. Had stopped in to have a couple beers with a coworker as it was located between where we both live. Enjoyed my time there and will return. As I was leaving the Friday crowd began pouring in. Didn't expect it to be so popular.
