    The bartender

    Negative points the bartender took FOREVER TO pay attention to us even tho only 7 people were inside ! Even when we got her attention she had a attitude! After she took our order she had the time to sit around and help someone else before us ! This place is ghetto ! And the blonde bartender who looks pregnant is the worst bartender ever !

    Morgan's Tavern is a pirate-themed dive bar. The bar is very small, with the bar itself taking up the majority of the space. Most of the seating (90%) is at the bar. There is one pool table that usually becomes a storage area for bands. And yes, despite the size, it is also a music venue. The seating area is basically turned into a stage and pit area. It is so small that when bands play you are shoulder to shoulder with people. The service is usually very slow. There is usually one to two bartenders and they are constantly leaving the bar area to either smoke or talk with friends. Parking: One of the benefits of this location is there is plenty of parking. No sweat. For Bands: Storage area is very limited. Keep the gear in your care until you are ready to play. There really isn't an actual stage. You will have to set up on the floor next to the pool table. Check with your promoter about details because they do not have their own P.A. It is usually provided by one of the bands or whoever set up the show. Despite the negatives, anytime I have been to Morgan's, it has always been a good time.

Super attentive, fast, and genuinely made the experience feel effortless and fun. Huge shoutout to Aly too for the great small talk and good vibes those little interactions seriously make a difference. The energy, the service, the attention to detail... 10/10 across the board. This is the kind of staff that makes you want to come back again and again.

A major selling…read morepoint was that they would take a reservation on a Saturday morning, when we feared everything else would be too crowded for a group our size, and a solid Yelp review finalized our choice. As it turned out, the place wasn't busy. A special treat was that a group of bluegrass musicians was jamming as we ate. Apparently they are there every Saturday morning. The ambience is quite dark and moody with wood paneling and minimal lighting that made me use my phone flashlight to read the menu more easily--more of the saloon vibe than a restaurant. But it fit the Western theme. The breakfast menu was pretty varied, the portions were large, and the food was pretty good, though not the best I've had. There was an error in one order, and I'll give the server slack because a group of ten is a lot to handle, but syrup arrived late for the pancakes, and butter and jam had to be requested for the biscuits. One odd thing was that they had no decaf coffee. The family was pleased. Overall, I'd call it a solid but not quite stellar choice for an old-fashioned breakfast in a theme setting.
