    Sitting at the bar...
    Jimi J.

    Last night in the area and I was pleasantly surprised, again! I had several locals tell me that I had to stop by and try the chili cheese dog. To be honest, I wasn't all that siked about strolling in for a hot dog, but they had a great beer selection so I figured it wouldn't be terrible even if it was a bomb...it was not a bomb, it was the bomb! The hot dog was firm and had great flavor on its own, but between it and the house chili and cheese sauce all encased in a wonderful bread that was just sturdy enough to hold it all together...good lord, what a chili dog. I have NEVER been impressed with a chili dog, but this place made it so. If you are in the area, please, stop by and give this local gem a try, hopefully they do you as right as they did me! I also tried the wings, and even though they were a little small, both flavors were great and cooked perfectly. The service was great, everyone had a blast and the regulars were a hoot to talk to. When I make it back, I will stop in again!

    Cajun Ranch Wings

    Came here for the wings and beer. The wings were fairly standard bar wings. They were small. They were good enough to enjoy but certainly nothing special. We ordered our with Cajun ranch sauce. The sauce was tasty in a very fast-food type of way. The flavors were not fresh or complex.

    The photos on Yelp encouraged me to visit this neighboring restaurant.? I'm glad I did, the photo of the French onion soup in particular was the deciding factor to visit Old State Tavern. It MORE than lived up to its hype! The decor was dated but very neat, clean, organized and a quite nice size space. Although it is a traditional bar it has restaurant style seating, pub area seats, and a pool table for the family to enjoy. I would say; especially during the daytime it is acceptable to bring young children to enjoy the food and a game of pool as a family. The onion soup was absolutely delicious. A nice flavorful broth that wasn't overly salty, cooked with enough onions under a generous layer of very deliciously gooey cheese. I said enough because there are two crispy flavorful onion rings that topped the soup. You can blend it in with the cheese and a nice spoonful of broth. To steal a quote from a soup company it was 'um um good'! The Old State Burger was great! Fresh and possibly homemade patties that fills the bun, the melting Swiss cheese with A 1 sauce is a nice touch. The fries are decent but not my fav. On the other hand the homemade chips were a hit. If our server gave us her name I missed it but you can't miss her she's having a baby. (CONGRATULATIONS) she was very pleasant, prompt and she offered good suggestions and answered all of our questions. This was a great overall experience and I would suggest anyone give Old State Tavern a chance!

    a beef sandwich with cheese

    The cheesesteak was even better than Pat and Geno's. They filled it up completely with meat. The bread is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside just how I like it. They have many options for it. This will fill you up. I'm coming back for more.

    I almost gave up on Media's Cheesesteak game, I am glad I did not!! Very good neighborhood bar. Bartenders were very friendly. Very good cheesesteak. Great roll. Good amount of meat. Very good amount of cheese and melt. A little light on mushrooms. I am sorry, it was 11 am super bowl Sunday so it may have been my mouth but I did like the consistency of the meat. I don't know if it needed to be chopped more or less. Over all very good experience.

    If there can be such a thing this is an upscale dive bar with a classy sign!

We were semi-self service in the restaurant because it was only 1 person working in the front. I felt really bad for him. He took sometime to order and brought the food out. Nevertheless the food was good. The mussels were flavorful. The sauce was white-wine base. Very unique. It came with the garlic bread on the side. I highly recommend to try. The wings are tender and juicy inside, good texture, not dry. Many tables and seats inside. Bathroom is ok. Street parking. Overall a good place to watch sports and get rowdy with tasty food.

Tap 24 was the one that had dining area right in front of the entrance with huge large glass window, so we were able to enjoy the beautiful summer day while dining. The dining space was not as big as regular restaurants, few tables in front for larger groups and smaller ones were further inside across the bar. The bar huge though where most people hung out. They also had a game viewing area in the back. But though out the place there were several TVs that had the game on. The menu had plenty of popular American style dishes. I got to try the chicken wings and mussels for appetizers. Both were excellent. My friends loved their sandwiches and salmon dishes as well. All the dishes were served within a short wait time. The bartender was serving our table as well. He did really good job. We had a wonderful time hanging out with everyone while dining and watching the game.
