Wow, this place is a must see best open mic night I have ever been too! Every thing about this place is cool. Worm environment with a great atmosphere!! read more

Mixed reaction to this place. I agree with a poster here that it is really weird to be told to be quiet in a bar. This is a place of social gathering, not a church or a concert hall. This weekend, a group of eight to ten came in to a nearly empty bar and were told to stop talking because the entertainment was performing. (Aside from the fact that they quadrupled the business in the place!) Hey, the food is simple and good and it's way casual, but to be chastised for patronizing a business is really not a good business model. read more

The food was amazing, the price is amazing , the music , the service was excellent and I'm so happy I'm here. This is a must go to place!! read more

I can't believe Blue Tavern has been around for almost 3 years and I'm just now checking it out! This used to be the Speakeasy and I had no idea a new business moved in. Blue Tavern resembles the old bar with more tables and chairs for seating, which was definitely needed. It's still very small so be prepared to bump a few elbows. I'm sure it's easier to grab a seat when there isn't live music though. We saw Longineu Parsons play and wow, it was a packed house with incredible music. The bar did a fine job keeping up with the crowd although they did run out of gumbo quickly! It's cool that they have a small menu of food: gumbo, red rice & beans, tomato soup, grilled cheese, Cuban, etc. The bar serves wine and beer only. The craft beer selection is small but prices aren't too bad. Overall, a fun watering hole with some great live music! Follow the Facebook page to see their calendar of events. read more

This is a local music venue that features a very wide variety of talented musicians, almost every night of the week. The food menu is limited but tasty. You can get beer, wine, coffee, tea, cookies, etc. it's cozy and has neat art for sale. There really is no place like it in town. It's the kind of place you don't really want to post a review of because you don't want too many people to know about it ; ) read more

Super casual, neighborhood bar with live music, a few food options, and great drink prices. We hung out for 2 hours, listened to some traditional Irish folk music, had 4 beers between us, and barely spent $25. And how often do you see the bartender go play the piano on a song to join the jam session? read more

Customer service at this place is a zero unless you just so happen to be white and 50+. Im tired of coming here with my professional colleges who are attorneys to watch our boss play with her band and because I like to laugh, and have a good time I'm told to be quiet. You may not know who I am yet but trust me I'm going to make my presence very known to this establishment and the owner. The people who run this place are rude. I don't care who's playing in what band if I want to laugh I don't need your permission. Getting the word out about this place and me and my colleagues won't be back. read more

The owner works very hard to create one of the best venues for music in town. Food is fantastic and the service is impeccable. A very welcoming place and a gem in the Tallahassee community. read more

Been coming here for 3 years now. Good variety of mainly good acoustic music and good music. Always a welcoming place.

Lots has changed in the year and a half since this cozy hole in the wall bar opened. There's hot food every night, ranging from Cuban sandwiches (excellent) to jambalaya (straight out of New Orleans). Four beers on tap feature three locals and an easy drinker and change with the seasons. There are craft local beers available in cans, wine, and champagne. The real gem is the music selection. Blues on Monday nights is consistently wonderful. People come for the music, so the crowd is relaxed and quiet. Other weekday nights are a regular rotation of jazz, blues, choro, open mics, and storytelling. Weekends range from the lively old time sound of the Flathead Stringband (dancing!) to the kickass sound of Ben Prestige's one-man blue's band. Regulars welcome newcomers with open arms, everyone happy to share a musical community. Hands down my favorite place for a weeknight chill spot. read more

I hate to bring race into it, but literally was not waited on until a black bar tender arrived. Also if you don't sit at the bar don't expect to be served. I came in on a Friday at 6:30pm. I came for the live band, but I don't think I'll return. Establishment is a hole in the wall. read more

This small tavern has excellent food and great service. This music was the best. Started with blues from Nee Orleans then bluegrass. Parking is very tight but I was told you can park across the street after hours. read more

A small but centrally located watering hole that appears to showcase Blues music and Blues performers. I came for "silent film" night when Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton were both featured. Both films were accompanied by a live pianist and a snare drum player playing a musical score that followed the action. The piano and drum really created an authentic feel which transported oneself back 100 years or so. The audience swooned, laughed and applauded throughout the evening. There was a $2 cover which was very reasonable. The bartenders were courteous and friendly. There were light bites and of course libations available for purchase. I loved the close-quarters intimate vibe the place generated. I will keep my eye out for future events like live Blues performances to make my eventual return. read more

Blue Tavern - a coffee mug on a table - Bars Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

This awesome place is unembarrassed about being a hole in the wall. Unbelievable music experience every time. Food is amazing - menu and availability changes. You can't go wrong with whatever's being served. Service is super friendly and great but staff is limited. Step up to the bar to get what you need. read more

Not for everyone. But I adore Blue Tavern and refer people there often for a unique experience. Such a variety of musical talent, you won't hear the same music each night. But your favorites cycle back so pay attention! Limited menu and you order at the bar. Love the people and vibe. Not for everyone but that's ok, it's small. But everyone is welcome! read more

I have been to the Blue Tavern a handful of times to see specific musicians. It is small and cozy which gives it that "Cheers" vibe. The staff was friendly. I've had a great time each time I went. What a great little place to hang out! read more

I stopped in today and ordered the ham and Swiss cheese on rye. What a tasty sandwich! I would definitely go back for another.

Good music venue. Owners keep the loud talk down to a level where you can enjoy the music! No food service, but they keep menus for local deliveries so you can order out. Small wine and beer selection, no hard stuff. Really enjoyed it. read more

A wonderful place to hear acoustic music six nights a week. There is always something interesting going on, always a room filled with friendly music-lovers, and now they have food! read more

The best place in Tally in terms of combination of music & drinks :)
