    Part of my birthday festivities and not what I expected. I was thinking boozy shakes... no, shaken…read morecocktails with the ice! Good vibe with good music and guy at bar who sang along in a loud and proud voice! Fun vibe, love the "shenanigan" menu. Yes, we did get a shitty Polaroid. It was shitty and a nice memory for birthday festivities! Great cocktails, loved the chips and dip. My companion consumed the bologna sandwich- healthy serving of bolonie! Will be back!

    Unfortunately, I decided not to order anything because of the way we were treated. When we arrived,…read morethe restaurant was moderately busy and understaffed. We stood in line waiting but the employee never acknowledged us, greeted us or explained who was being served. We waited a while and then asked if we could place an order. He went off about being understaffed and contacted the owners let them know. When we tried to understand what was going on, he responded with an unnecessarily slick and dismissive attitude, saying, "I've got this person, I've got that person, I've got this." We had just walked in, we had no way of knowing who he was helping or how the line was being handled because he had not communicated anything to us. I understand that working alone can be stressful but customers should still be acknowledged and spoken to respectfully. His attitude went too far and made the entire interaction uncomfortable so I chose to leave without ordering. My friend order online. Vegan patty it was okay. The cauliflower was cold but good. Ambiance was cool, clean and decent music.

    I WARN YOU DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!…read more At some point me and a friend needed a hotel to stay at so we decided to stay at the tavern. I wasnt sure who to talk to for a room so i asked the gentleman down stairs. He took our money for one weeks stay and gave each of us a room key. During the night i had to go to the washroom. It was small, dark a dismall, to my horror when looking into the waste basket nearest the toilet ... USED SYRINGES IN PLAIN SIGHT! I ran from there to my room again... the nights sleep was ok aside from the music pounding my body... The next morning we woke up to some old man creep pounding at our door. Turns out this was the REAL hotel manager. He basically told us to get our shit and get out. We quickly gathered together our things but not before we went downstairs to confront the original man who turned out to be the bartender. He refused to give me back any of the money claiming that i was being stupid. We ran up to our now unlocked hotel room. My friend couldnt find her cell phone. I told her to look under the pillows and sure enough there it was. She knew she left it on the desk and i saw it there too. Once we retrieved the phone and hotel management caught eye of this he started getting more verbally violent. Shooing us out with swear words calling us name's as we packed in a hurry When we finally escaped the establishment we ran and couldnt have run fast enough!!! I warn you! Dont drink here. Dont stay here and dont support this place The one night i tried was like a scene out of some horror movie!!keep safe!!!

    Great place for a cold pint of the best draft in town in a quiet, dive bar that is technically…read moreolder than the country itself. There is a reason this place is still standing since the mid 1850's.
