Hands down the best wings I have ever had. A hidden treasure. Service and atmosphere is top notch as well. I would prefer they handout physical menus versus having to read off a chalkboard but no biggie.

Tavern is a huge space with lots of TV’s. Prices are very reasonable and the food is legit. Pizza is excellent but its the wings that are worth the trip. Large and perfectly cooked.

Stopped in on Friday evening with a group of about 15 for a little birthday deal. They were busy but they took great care of us. Service was fantastic. No one went without the couple of hours we were there. Food was awesome and a great value.
