Excellent service! The chicken parm was crunchy and moist. The pizza is also delicious.
Haven't met a bartender I didn't like or give great service in this place. Plus, the drinks are moderately priced for Garnet. Great place to watch a game
This is the BEST sports bar in PB. The staff is always fast, friendly, and efficient. Management runs a well oiled machine and it's shown by how amazing everyone works together. The menu is straightforward bar food and all the options taste amazing. Every cocktail I've had has tasted fantastic but nothing beats the espresso martini! They have over 25 tvs making it the best place for football Sunday's and UFC events!
Gr8 spot for sports, grub & drinks. The ladies also like the spot. Only thing missing is a pool table. However, they used to break out a dance floor BC, prob still happenin if they got the crowd. Stop by for a drink & a game.
I came here on a week night. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. The tavern feels like a sports bar that's been toned down in good taste. I got the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken breast was juicy but the sandwich needed more sauce or a salty component but the fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. Their drink selection is pretty good and they have $5 hard seltzer cans. I will come back once construction is complete outside.
Food and beers were good! Staff was crazy friendly and efficient. I'm not a big bar goer but this was nice, plus you're right near the beach so there is plenty to walk around and see if it gets too hectic for you during game day or happy hour. I
Typical bar environment with a bar area and surrounding tables with stools Everything is decorated for Christmas and the vibe is great!! Wednesday night seems to be trivia night so the enviroment is lively!!
Came here after doing some foodie tour with my friends to end the night. Vibes are great, drinks were great. Everyone seemed to be having a good time and interested in the trivia going on.
A year ago we broke up with Tavern at the Beach. That visit a year ago we were treated to a two-star experience. Two stars no more! Tavern at the Beach we have reconciled! Reunited and it feels so good! We had some friends visiting from out of town and they were staying at Campland on the Bay. We were hungry for lunch and wanted a spot that we could bicycle to. We checked the Tavern menu online and found it to be a regular, non-brunch menu. Score! The four of us biked over and sat on the hook of the bar. We were greeted by the sweet and lovely Kasi (pronounced like KC). Kasi was super cute, friendly and funny. And she kept our drinks filled! We started with an order of the Shark Bites (fried mahi nuggets served with fries and housemade tarter sauce). Basically a mini fish 'n chips and they were delicious. Little chunks of mahi lightly breaded and fried perfectly. Nice and crispy, not at all greasy. And plentiful! There must've been a dozen in the basket. The housemade tarter sauce was excellent. The fries were excellent too. Be sure to ask for malt vinegar too! Becky and our friend both ordered the Tavern Burger (beef patty, American cheese, diced red onion, pickles with garlic aioli on a brioche bun) and they both loved it. In fact Becky ate the entire burger. Typically I will get half of her hamburger. Not this time! Our friend ordered a side of fries with his burger and he loved them as well Our friend's wife ordered the Cali Club flatbread. Topped with diced chicken, bacon, avocado, bell pepper, red onion, mozzarella cheese, jalapeno ranch drizzle and cilantro. She loved it. I had the Fish Sando and it was terrific! I chose to have my mahi grilled rather than fried. It was cooked perfectly and topped with a creamy slaw, American cheese, pickles, malt vinegar aioli all nestled in a fantastic brioche bun. The slaw, pickles and wonderful aioli brought the whole thing together. Such a great alternative to a hamburger. Really, really good. Thank you Tavern at the Beach for the excellent menu. Thank you Kasi for the excellent service! You're back! And so are we!
