      We went to this location recently for an alumni event to watch a basketball game. I read many reviews about what to expect. It is a bar-type restaurant, but kids are allowed. We did call to ask. Keep in mind that they only have high-top tables. They do accept reservations, and that was great because it was packed.

      I ordered off their whiskey and food menu. The whiskey was great, and I was offered a second when finished. I passed at $15 for a glass. I do really appreciate that the prices are on the drink menu. Many restaurants have you guessing.

      We ordered the Buffalo chicken dip and Bacon cheeseburger French fries. Pro tip, the fries are a huge portion. It was enough for my husband and I to share as our main meal. They were very good with a ton of fresh toppings and a decent amount of ground beef and bacon. The Buffalo Chicken Dip was excellent as well, with a hardy amount of chicken. The only flaw would be that we didn't receive many chips, so when we ordered more chips, there's a $4 charge.

      Service was decent, but a few hiccups. They were slammed, and my husband had a drink spilled on him. When he asked for a rag to clean his chair, someone told him they were too busy. Fortunately, another waitress nearby offered him a rag when she heard. Overall, we were happy.

      Have been a fan of this place for years but our last two visits have been disappointing. Food quality has declined substantially. Food has been overcooked and inconsistent. Will wait to see better reviews before we come back.

      I've driven by this place for years always curious but never stopped. I'm glad I did! Food was great. Service was very speedy. I love the ambiance inside. If I lived closer this would be my watering hole!

      The food here is actually top notch. The best thing we got was the Mac and cheese with buffalo chicken, but everything was good! The wedge was packed with flavor, the fries were great, we had mozzarella sticks that were tasty. My friends got a quesadilla and the chicken sandwich and everything was good. It's got a very hole in the wall vibe inside, but it's clean. Our waitress was nice and helpful, we did have to ask often for things like a knife and more water that probably should have been standard. But other than that it was a good stop for when you are hungry!

      City Tavern is a cool little sports pub. The inside is somewhat small, but it has a neat atmosphere. There are plenty of TV's. The staff was friendly and responsive. Drink prices are incredibly reasonable, and they have a full menu with some healthier options as well (wraps, salads).

      I wasn't too hungry when I went with some friends to watch a game, but did munch on some chicken fingers and fries. They weren't that great and appeared to have skin on them underneath the breading. But given the large menu I would definitely give the kitchen another shot.

      There is also a small parking lot just south of the building which was pretty convenient.

      Staying in town for a conference and my Airbnb is 1 block away. I stopped in at 9:30 pm on a Monday to grab food to go and it was lovely. The bar was not crowded, but there were multiple games on, the bartender was nice, and they were playing great 90s music! I ordered a burger and tots to go and got a glass of wine while I waited. The pour was generous and the ambiance was chill. The bar is stocked, too. Got back to my place and the burger was great and the tots were crispy. Was excited to see many packets of condiments included with my order. Until I realized the ketchup was Red Gold - not cool for a Pittsburgh gal like me . But seriously, try this place out!

      I stopped by for a late lunch after a few years since my last visit to this tavern. I remembered the food and drinks being good, so I decided to return while in the area. The waitress was attentive, provided great suggestions, and the food was fresh and hot. The ambiance was laid-back and casual, without the crowded young adult scene. I'll definitely be coming back soon :)

      Had the firebird chicken sandwich. It was spicy but had good taste. My girl had the Rachel on wonder bread and enjoyed that. The fries were tasty

      Great food and service. We visited last year around the same time and they were very friendly and our teenagers found something they loved. Super close to downtown
