Austin ChronicleMarch 23, 2013Built in 1916, the space has housed a grocery, a steak restaurant, and a speakeasy/brothel. These days the Tavern does bustling business with sports fans who enjoy the 50 TV screens and good pub grub.
If you are the kind of person that goes to a bar or restaurant and needs it to be the "best" of something (and "great" is never good enough) then do not come here. This place is for fun, not snobs.- Social News NetworkNovember 29, 2012Great trivia night on Wednesday nights at 8. The place fills up so be sure to get there early to grab a table with your team! There is no limit to team size.
JenniferMay 2, 2012Great selection of local beers on tap, in addition to a comprehensive list of bottles to choose from. Not a bad night out.

CultureMap AustinJune 29, 2011If bacon-wrapped wings stuffed with jalapenos sound amazing, then ask for them by their proper name: The Amazing White Wings.
Dawna WrightJune 13, 2011Watched the Dallas-Miami B-ball Finals broadcast from their wall of a dozen HD flat panel TVs. The food, beer, and company was great
Great bar. Extremely accomodating. Bulldogs alumni invade on gameday.

Get the jalepeno cream cheese with your soft pretzel! Awesome!
ElvisLivesMay 17, 2010New owners have added a lot of beers to the bar option. Grab a pint to wash down the best buffalo wings in town.
Upstairs at The Tavern is a great place to host a private event.
Best place to watch the rangers games. They also have the long horn network. Go long horns!!!
Ordered the jalapeño cream cheese burger. They forgot to put the jalapeño cream cheese on it. I am really confused as to how that would happen.
"Crispin or Ace Pear ciders are so refreshing on a hot Texas afternoon."

Sit at the bar and read what people have carved in the bar
Matt McDougallOctober 12, 2009order the sausage fajitas if they happen to be serving them - you won't be disappointed!- Go there on Wednesday nights for the trivia. It's fun.
