I have been a regular here for awhile. Virginia and Gabby have been awesome bartenders always making sure people are taken care of quickly and handling situations as needed. If you need a place to stop in for a good drink, community interaction, etc this is the place!

The bartender Virginia goes above and beyond to make sure all customers are having a great time! She remembers your drink when you come in and she does a great job having a conversation with you! She’s one of the big reasons why people go to Tavern!

The staff is absolutely outstanding. I never wait long for a drink even if it’s packed. The two female bartenders are especially adorable! They are always so sweet every time I’m there. The other male bartender is also amazing and always so welcoming. Definitely a great spot to check out. You definitely wont want to leave after just one!

It's a nice quiet place. The bartender was super friendly and was able to play darts all night.
