Large variety of great beers in a range of prices, excellent service and food. Ambiance and lighting is nice, although the dinner tables are a little tight. The price is on the expensive side, but it's reflective of the overall quality. One of my favorite places in the area.
Personable staff - informative, attentive, and friendly. We had a large group that stayed past closing, and it was a memorable experience with no regrets. We were swapping stories with the head bartender and some of the regulars before we left, having enjoyed good service and respectable food throughout the evening. My ahi tuna was cooked more than I would have liked, but everything else about the experience was notably positive.
I used to come here a lot before I had kids, so much that the bartenders knew my name. That's what this place is like, a neighborhood bar where everyone knows each other. The food is top notch too, great burger, steak and fries, and duck.
We go in for drinks and maybe a snack and are told we could only sit at the bar, since the place is quite full and tables are for people dining - fair enough. So we find some empty chairs at the bar and are settling in when a few minutes later a waiter comes and tells us we have to give up our bar chairs because he just had two customers coming in who want to eat (at the bar). Very clear priorities here
Nice, comfortable place. Good beer selection and upscale cocktails. I had steak frites, which was only OK considering the price. The steak was on the small side and overcooked for my preference. I had ordered medium rare and it came much closer to medium well. Good service, considering the crowd.
This restaurant is a gem. The food is tasty and well prepared, the wine list has a good selection is wines by the glass and there are many decent beers on tap. Note that they don't take reservations or generally serve dessert though Athons bakery is next door.
Good food, good atmosphere, thought it was a little pricey though
I had a wonderful meal at this restaurant last Saturday night. The half chicken was amazing and on par with the old Hamersley's in the South End. The crab cake appetizer was entree sized and perfectly prepared. We also had a heirloom tomato salad that was on the special list.
Deserves it's reputation as best neighborhood restaurant & pub. Can't say enough good things about the Tavern. Food is awesome and great hospitality. Best nights of the year are here! Just swing on by.
Amazing food, great wine list, and gastro-pub in Washington Square. If you want a great meal at a reasonable price, go to the tavern. The food there rivals many of the great restaurants in Boston.
Also is a great place to grab a beer or whiskey.
Busy place, so be prepared for a wait, but the food is so amazing, it'll be worth it. Have a drink at the bar while you're waiting :)
Lovely food and good atmosphere for a quiet dinner.
I was less than impressed by this place. To be fair the food was pretty good. I got a burger that was recommended to me and I was pleased with it. I was also pretty pleased with the drinks. However the service was a bit slow, and the prices were a lot higher than they should have been. The burger was probably 1.5 to twice as much as the same quality burger at another bar that may very well have given you more food. The drinks were probably 10-15 dollars which sounds fair for the area, but the portions were quite small.
Amazing food. Never went there and had a plate that I didn't love. Atmosphere ranges from secluded and quiet to extremely packed (sometimes it's a bit too much). Overall this is a great place. Expensive, but worth it.
Food is fresh and Amazing. Stewart is awesome, recommendations and drink pairing were perfect. Cheers to an awesome night.
