    I have been to tavern 29 4 times now. Honestly the food was good, and the view is nice. Why would…read moreI give a one star review? I always noticed the staff seemed to be walking on eggshells. They always seemed to be more human roombas and less bartenders. This was unfortunate as most people go to the bar to socialize. Then I began to hear about the owner and her foibles. It has been said she tells the staff not to talk to customers to much and she has a demanding cleaning regime. These were rumors. Now I will relate the objective and observed reason I will never come back to this bar, ever: I was finishing my last beer when My friend came in. He is Hispanic. He is a union mason and therefore makes far more than my teacher's salary. He is a good and hardworking man who takes care of his family. I have coached his kids. He is well liked because of his good nature and easy smile. I was about to leave but I told him I would always stay to have one more to talk to him. He insisted on buying my beer over my objections. He also bought the other four people at he bar a drink each. He is always generous and a good tipper. We were almost finished our drinks and everyone was enjoying his company, we were having a great time. He is very good company. Then I noticed the manager receiving a text. Then the bartender gave him his tab. The manager took my friend outside and asked him to leave. The manager said he needed to leave because his shirt was to dirty. He is a working man with a job that will leave spots on your shirt. He had those spots on his shirt from earning the money to spend at this bar! I was mortified as were the other 4 patrons. We are all white collar anglos, we have never been subjected to this sort of treatment. We were embarrassed to see it inflicted on another person especially a person as nice as this. They left their drinks on the bar and left. They told my friend he shouldn't have to pay for their drinks because the owner had kicked him out for such a snobby and possibly bigoted reason. They wanted to pay so none of his money would go to the owner. He reacted with class, and insisted on paying anyway. He just pointed to his clothes while he paid and said "I am to dirty to drink here." I will go home. This is not Manhattan. This is the middle of no where in West Virginia. If a working man can't come into a bar in clothes he got spots on from laboring for the money he wants to spend at that establishment I certainly will never go to that bar. ***Update**** statement from the owner regarding this was: "He had some grease on him a few weeks ago which got on another customers clothes from the seat he was in." No apology, no remorse. That is what she has had to say about herself. Perhaps have your human roombas who aren't allowed to talk to customers, take a rag to the stools while they do their endless rounds of cleaning, while not talking to customers. So in closing if you want to go to the snobbiest, most unwelcoming bar in all of West Virginia make sure you have a clean shirt. Working class people are certainly not welcome here.

The drive is beautiful, especially on a sunny day in the fall. The leaves are incredible. As you're driving winding roads along Wills Creek, Hillbilly Haven pops out of nowhere. You'll see plenty of pick-up trucks, four-wheelers and side-by-sides. What you get: is an absolutely quintessential dark, country, dive bar. Beloved by locals, they have pool tables, a small live music and dance area inside and a really nice outside area in the back. You'll meet some of the nicest people. Just remember-it is a local country bar and when in Rome... Here's the big draw-oh my goodness, the food! People come from miles away to get take-out. The wings are perfectly seasoned no matter the sauce/rub, juicy but crisp. The Hillbilly Deluxe burger puts a Big Mac to shame. The smoked meats are done on site by people who really know what they're doing. If you're looking for a Saturday or Sunday road trip on a pretty day and some terrific food, find Hillbilly Haven. Grab a beer and enjoy the country. ATV recommended but not required. This update from my friend April- "

We arrived around 5:30 on a busy Thursday night. It's not a big place, and there were already 2 tables of 6+ people & several tables of 2-4. We actually got the last available table. It's worth the wait, but there was a long wait. I think there was only one person in the kitchen and they really had a hard time getting all the orders out for the two large group tables. However, our server was friendly and efficient, considering it was just her and one other server, waiting on everyone and doing the bartending. She replenished water often and got me a new beer whenever I needed one. She got our appetizer of onion petals out quickly, but then it was over an hour wait for our other food. We were a little disappointed that they were out of the pork rinds and they were also out of the elk burger tonight which were of the things we were looking forward to trying. The onion petals were very good. They did have elk sliders so my husband ordered those. We enjoyed them, more flavorful & not gamey like venison. I ordered a patty melt since I had not had one of those in ages. By the time our food arrived the bar was also full, but by now it was going on 7pm. So, we did enjoy our visit & liked all the food & we'd eat there again. Others would have been obviously bothered by the long wait for the food, but we were on vacation and we were not in a hurry. Despite being super busy our server was kind & didn't seem stressed out.
