Wow! I wasn't expecting to like this place as much as I did I really like it. I like the aesthetic it just has great lighting a good vibe lots of comfortable seating options and in summer months, they can open up these rolling garage door things and you can sit out on their patio I had two of the best servers I've had in a long time who didn't just deliver A+ service but they had excellent personalities and they made the meal even better just by being there The food preparation was quick. The food was excellent. We ended up having a couple of beers. There was a nice selection. My husband and I both had salads the salads refresh large and delicious. I did not leave feeling hungry. I left wanting to come back again... Very soon. read more

I came back after a year a few months ago and was gonna write a positive review after some better experiences but nope it's worse now. Just left. Sat for 20 minutes waiting for a drink of anything. Btender taking to coworkers and not that busy. By the way 4 people total at the bar. I explained to her part of the problem is these dark green water glasses. She said I usually serve and we left bottles at table. I said tell the boss to throw the green glasses away or leave bottles. Most people don't say anything they just go somewhere else like I will next time. This place is laughable for $50++ happy hours read more

REVIEW BY: Avila.Eats on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Service: waitress was friendly Ambiance: inside is a nice modern open space concept. A nice bar, spaced tables, and a large dining area. Food: 1. Smash burger has well seasoned Pattie's. The meat flavor remains predominant. The cheese is gooey and well melted. The bun is fluffy and airy. Pickles add a nice crunch and the sauce although tangy isn't overall tangy. It's slightly fattier and creamier than traditional smash burger sauce. The onion add a nice flavor and subtle sweetness. I'd recommend. 7.75 2. Black and blue steak pizza cauliflower crust doesn't add much flavor. It's airy and crispy. The cheese is well melted but not much of it. The steak is decently tender but easy to chew and adds a good meaty twist. The red peppers add a slight heat and the glaze is a blue cheese red peppers pesto that adds a sweet contrast to the spice and umami flavor from the meat and cheese. I'd recommend. 6.5 3. Short rib hash bowl is flavorful with super tender and well seasoned short rib. The eggs are perfectly cooked with the runny yolk adding a great layer of 'sauce' and umami flavor. The potatoes have a slight crunch and are well salted. The onion and peppers are sweet from being well sautéed and the horse radish cream sauce is light and creamy. The horse radish flavor is prominent but without the kick. I'd highly recommend 8 read more

Came here on a Monday night and we ended up sitting at the bar. The vibes were great and the inside is decorated so cute! We had great service and I didn't get her name but she was super friendly and timed all of our food perfectly. We got the wings, half salads and split 2 pizzas. The Black and Blue pizza was really good lots of flavors and big pieces of steak. The mushroom pizza I had more hope for but it was still good. Needs like a sauce or something and ditch all the kale. 10/10 would recommend and we will be back read more

Out for dinner with friends. First impression, very nice inside. When you first walk in, you are greeted with an open room with a nice size bar. Dim lighting and decor hanging from above is a nice touch. Greeted right away. Ordered Margaritas and cheese curds to start off. Drink was good. Cheese curds were yummy little squares. Crispy and cheesy. We both ordered the smash burger which had great flavor. The fries were nice and crispy. Was a great experience!! Ready to go back and try different items. read more

We were tempted by restaurant week for lunch and the menu was advertised from 11-9 ... until we asked for the menu and were told they decided to only offer it from 4. We stayed anyway and had some fair food. The Guinness brownie was tasty but the value was not as enticing as the advertised restaurant week offering. rating suffers for nothing in compensation for failing to honor the advertised offer. read more

Tried Liberty Tavern during brunch hours on a Saturday. The space is pretty big, and looks new. It wasn't crowded, but busy enough to have several servers. I ordered the liberty smash burger and the Polaris power bowl with salmon added. The burger was big, and very tasty. I ordered it with breakfast potato's which were good. The power bowl was ok at best. The chipotle sauce it came with just tasted like flavorless mayo with a hint of chipotle. The vegetables and quinoa mixture barely had any flavor. I also asked for the salmon to be well done- which may have been a bad idea on my part since it came really dry and shriveled. My friend enjoyed her steak and eggs bagel and yogurt parfait. The chicken and waffles taco was good, but felt like it was missing something (no Tabasco does not help). Our overall experience at the Liberty tavern was good. The server was kind, and out of the 2-3 dishes we each had, we had at least one dish we were happy with. There's many options on the menu for everyone, so I would say this is a good place to come with a group or family. read more

I was very anxious to try Liberty Tavern based on all the reviews. An overall 4.2 star rating got my attention. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. We didn't realize that this was the last night of "restaurant week" until we got to the restaurant. We spotted restaurant week flyers at the hostess stand while we stood there for over 5 minutes before anyone even acknowledged our presence. A hostess did finally appear and offered us seating at the high-tops in the bar area or at regular tables in what she called "the back room" (which is actually located along the front of the building). We opted for the backroom which was actually a very nice area. Then there's the noise. This restaurant has one of the highest ambivant noise leve of any restaurant I've been in. It was hard talking to my wife across the table. Service was adequate. Our waitress was prompt to take our orders and was very pleasant. Our appetizers came out rather quickly BUT our entrees also came out rather quickly - while we were still trying to enjoy our appetizers. My wife and I both ordered one of the restaurant week specials - which include an appetizer, entree and dessert. For appetizers, I had the clam chowder which was excellent - even if it was not pipinng hot. My wife had the cheese curds which were a skimpy portion and nothing to write home about. For entrees, I had the fish and chips which were very good but I thought the portions (fish and cole slaw) were skimpy compared to other Polaris area restaurants. My wife had the 8 oz filet and said it was excellent. For dessert, they were out of the chocolate mousse (one of two items on the restaurant week meu). The waitress offered us brownies with ice cream in place of the mousse. Dessert was very good. OVERALL -- * Food was high 3-star, almost 4-start * Service was a solid 3-star. * Hostess was a low 2-star. I really had high hopes for Liberty Tavern and can't quite understand all the 4 and 5-star reviews. We did not have a 4 or 5-star experience and will likely "drive-by" next time. read more

I wish I could give 3.5 stars. The food was above average for bar food but nothing special. The service was great: our server stopped by very quickly and our food came out within 10 minutes. The ambiance is also really nice - clean, good lighting and lively atmosphere with a packed house at 5 pm on a Friday. Their happy hour goes until 6 and gets you a small discount on drinks and some apps. We split the smash burger and cheesesteak sandwich which came with fries. The burger was fine - I didn't really love the sauce on it and cheesesteak sounded great but was just okay. The description sounded amazing - house cheese dip, jalapeños, horseradish, carmelized onion... but you couldn't really taste any of those things. I believe the fries were frozen, not fresh but they were well seasoned and hot and crispy. I would go back and try the pizza. It's a fun vibe with decent food. read more

Service was friendly and efficient, and we all got our correct orders and bills. Most people in our party were quite happy with their food but I wasn't. I ordered the Asian Glazed Salmon, Stir-Fried Veggies & Coconut Edamame Rice. The salmon was very good but neither the veggies nor the rice had any seasoning. They weren't even salted (and I am one who often finds restaurant food way too salty). The coconut rice was nice and creamy but it had no flavor, not even any hint of coconut. Also, the restaurant has nice round booth seating but it was so loud none of us could hear the others on the other side of the booth. It wasn't loud music; it was people!! read more

Polaris has so many solid food choices, but when you find great food and great service, you have to post. My fiancé and I have been coming here going on 2 years and I'm surprised I haven't left a review. I'm my opinion, food will make you try a place but the service brings you back. Sep, who is behind the bar, is just an awesome guy. He remembers what you drink, always has a smile on his face and high energy. Really makes you feel at home. He runs his area well. The food. There are my favorites...The O.U.R. Cheesesteak, Blackened quesadilla, Blackened Chicken entree, the various pizza offerings. There's just the right amount of choices and everything has been delicious. They also have "Wine Down Wednesday"! Liberty Tavern has quickly become our go to when "Where Do You want to go?" Pops up. read more

Came here on a whim on a Sunday evening. Place wasn't super busy so we were sat quickly. Right off the bat the place looked very nice - a little modern, a little rustic, nice Christmas decorations up since we went in December. Our server seemed like she was having a rough day but she still did a nice job with everything and was very quick. Our food only took like maybe 7-8 minutes after we placed it - we were shocked at the speed lol Everything was delicious. Pretty pricey, but seemed worth the cost. My ONLY nit to pick is I feel like there should be one more pretzel for the everything pretzels. Will definitely be back read more

I ordered the Liberty Wings and Farmhouse Chopped Salad through DoorDash today. The salad was outstanding; fresh, generous in size, and absolutely delicious. I could have used a little more dressing, but that's a minor point. The wings tasted great as always. My only concern was that several pieces had been cut into during preparation, and one piece was cut through the bone. Not a huge issue, but it's not what I've come to expect from Liberty Tavern. Also, don't forget the napkins with takeout orders. Overall, Liberty Tavern Polaris prepared a very enjoyable meal. This was close to a 5-star experience, but the preparation details moved it to a 4 for me. read more

Went for the happy hour tonight. We ordered the sliders with fries, the Everything Pretzels and the Margherita Pizza. The sliders were cooked perfectly. They were juicy and tasted well seasoned. They come with onion, cheese and a special sauce. The everything pretzels were so good. They had a good amount of seasoning without being over done. The pretzels were light and airy and very flavorful. They came with two dipping sauces, honey mustard and a beer cheese that was very good. The pizza had whole sliced tomatoes and mozzarella. The crust was thin but light and airy. Everything we ate was very good. Our server was super nice and attentive. The restaurant was decorated very nicely and had some very cool lighting and decor. Even the bathroom was nice. read more

Almost every chicken dish on their menu is dark meat. My sister specifically asked if the dish she ordered was white meat and was told it was but when it came out it was dark meat. So beware on chicken dishes if you want white meat. When questioned about the dish after it came out, he had an attitude. Cute atmosphere. I gave it a 2nd chance and still disappointed. read more

Neat place w a cool atmosphere. Not overly expensive. The fried chicken sandwich was good but nothing that knocked my socks off. Felt like it was missing something. Fries were good. So was the ranch. Staff were super friendly and attentive. I'd come back to try out other menu items. read more

UPDATE - Another great meal. Didn't have much time for a proper meal, so we just stopped here for a quick bite. Ordered the roasted chicken and bacon pizza and the roasted chicken sandwich. Both really good. The pizza is not from a wood fired oven, but still tasty. We'll return. read more

Yesterday my wife and I ventured out to hit up a happy hour, after searching a few places, we settled on Liberty Tavern. First time here and the place is decorated very nice with a good mix of woods and glass and some brass instruments throw in the mix, it had a relaxed vibe. Our server was friendly and efficient and responded quickly to any request. Since we were here for Happy Hour, we asked about the happy hour menu and after it was explained we made our selections. We choose sliders and fries first off they aren't on the Happy Hour menu rather they are the Thursday special. You receive two sliders with American cheese and the sliders come with house sauce, think thousand island dressing, topped with onions. They were cooked well but still juicy and well seasoned. The buns were grilled but still soft. Next we chose everything seasoned pretzel sticks, they were served warm, but were some of the softest pretzel sticks I have ever had. They were served with two sauce a honey mustard sauce and a bourbon cheese sauce both complimented the pretzel very well. Finally we chose the margarita pizza it was a thin crust topped with marinara sauce fresh basil and sliced tomatoes, baked golden brown but still soft. Overall the food was delicious and quite flavorful. The price was decent for the food received and we will definitely be adding liberty tavern to our rotation of restaurants. read more

Atmosphere is great here. Lots of sports and TV's if you need a place to watch a game. We grabbed a reservation for 6:45 on a Saturday about an hour before with no issues. We ordered the jalapeño cheddar biscuits as an app, my wife got the cheesesteak, and I got the Liberty smash burger. Our food was great! This is one of the best burgers I've had in a while and would order it again for sure. My wife said she liked the cheesesteak and would gladly order it again. The fries we both got with our food were great, too. We'll be back! read more

We made reservations for a party of 26 for brunch on Sunday morning. When I called a few days ahead - the person on the phone was super friendly and very accommodating! We showed up and they had our table pre-set with water, plates, etc waiting for us. Our waitress Kenley was exceptional. We had a table of nine volleyball players and a table of parents, and she did a great job matching up girls to our checks between the two tables. Everyone loved their meals! From chicken and waffles to burgers to pizza - many raved about the quality. Food was hot, service was relatively quick (we were done eating within an hour and a half) and everything went sooo smooth. We highly recommend and are grateful for them starting our morning off right! read more

I came here in hopes it was like the liberty tavern in Powell that was replaced by Elliots (awful).. While it's not the same, it is excellent. The service was wonderful, a woman around my wife's age was constantly doing something, super hard working, strong, and focused. The food was excellent, cooked perfect and beautifully plated. The restaurant is modern, open, spotless, and bright. My wife and I can't wait to go back. read more

We stopped by the night of the Derby. Snagged a seat at the bar. Staff was AWESOME and the food amazing. Pretzel sticks everything seasoning and two diff dip sauces. Sooo good!

We ordered two cosmos a piece and our first time most definitely won't be our last. read more

Jackson was amazing! Very attentive! The food, oh my, it was fabulous. We had the fish and chips, Cobb salad, and the Strawberry salad. All were wonderful.

We had a fantastic experience! Hosts were welcoming and seated us promptly. Our server was helpful & friendly and we felt lucky to have arrived on the 4th of July, with live music on the patio & a festive atmosphere. I got a Hot Wet American Summer cocktail & my husband got a Mystic Mamma IPA. The cocktail was delicious & well-balanced. We chose Crab Beignets for a starter. They were tasty, especially with the remoulade, but we thought for the price it could come with just a little more. Still--fresh lump crab was a win! We shared a Strawberry Salad and the OUR cheesesteak. The salad was delicious in every bite, with fresh strawberries, creamy goat cheese, and perfect candied nuts that reminded me of the ones my grandma used to make. The cheesesteak was also fantastic, with a tender and crusty roll to hold together the sliced ribeye, bulgogi, kimchi, greens, and cheese. Plenty to split between 2 people. I think they have the best fries in town. Tender, batter-dipped, seasoned with herbs & spices, with a tasty aioli for dipping. Almost ordered an extra side. We also shared the Guinness brownie for dessert--everything about it was good! Even on a holiday, our food came out quickly. Overall, it felt like a fun, unique menu with food we really enjoyed eating. Will absolutely come back! read more
