Tavern on Brand

This is overall a decent spot to pop in. Service was subpar, we were the only ones in at the end of our meal and had to wait quite a while to pay as the two people working were just chatting about to one another at the bar. We got two flatbreads - the meat lovers came out without brisket, but they notified the kitchen and gave us a side. Atmosphere is pretty cool.

The plan was CPK. Safe. Predictable. Beige, but edible. You know the vibe. You go in, you eat, you leave, you forget it ever happened. But fate had other ideas. We rolled out of the parking structure, which just so happens to sit directly across from Tavern, and for a Friday night, the street felt strangely calm. Not dead, not wild, just… open. Like the city itself was leaning in and whispering, “You don’t have to do the same thing tonight.” Then my wife spotted the birdhouses outside. Now, I don’t claim to be superstitious, but I am absolutely suggestible when something feels like a sign. And right then, that was the sign. I’ve always been the kind of person who follows the side quest instead of the main storyline, so I did what any reasonable adventurer would do. I turned toward Tavern. Through the windows, I could already see people laughing, leaning into conversations, the kind of energy that says, “Yeah, this place knows how to start a night.” The second we stepped inside, nostalgia drop-kicked me straight into my chest. I hadn’t been in a proper gastropub in years, and this place didn’t try to be flashy or over-designed. Instead, it felt effortlessly cool. Snappy signs. A chi

Food was great, but service is lacking. Im not sure if this is normal for a Saturday night or not, but it was packed. We are visiting from out of state. Didn't know you had to seat yourselves, there was no signage anywhere so we just looked completely lost. Couldn't find a server anywhere. Had to flag down the bartender to get any sort of answers. Inside was full so we were left with no choice but to sit outside on the street. It was cold. There are no heaters on that side. Unfortunately 2 really inconsiderate gentleman decided that they would take up the heated section at a 6 seat table.... nobody said a word. That was annoying as our group of 6 had to stand around and wait for a bartender to combine two tables so our large group can sit together. The food was amazing, once it finally came but it got cold really quick, especially the fries. Once the silent disco people arrived and crowded the sidewalk, we lost all eyes of our server and never saw her again that night. I had to go inside just to flag SOMEONE down as we had empty drinks and had been waiting so long we just wanted the check so we could go. Its unfortunate. The food is seriously so good but they are severely short han

Fantastic spot! In town for work and stumbled upon this pub. They had a fun live jazz band playing, other great live music on different nights according to the lineup. Service was top notch, it was a Tuesday but still bustling, and the 2 tenders were on top of it the whole time. Cook was great as well, has some appetizers with our drinks and they were great quality. Atmosphere was fun, chill but lovely. They have some TV's for the games and a wide variety of high end and often hard to find spirits, which is what drew us in! We enjoyed some tasty bourbon and cocktails, all spot on! I highly recommend stopping in for a bite a drink, you won't be disappointed!

Went here for a private event - Half the bar was booked for a private event and the other half was for public dining. Appetizers are good - had the chicken nachos. Beers were ok - got a bunch of your traditional stuff I don’t think there was something that knocked my socks off. I think the real appeal of this place is the location. It’s right on brands and has indoor and outdoor seating. People are very friendly and the staff are very respectful.
