What players say

Casual bar with good happy hour deals. I came here to celebrate a friend passing the bar exam (bar for the bar!) and ordered some onion rings and wings. I know it’s not healthy but I love some wings at a bar; I had mine with buffalo sauce and ranch. My friend was really craving a hot dog and ordered that as well.

Ericka at this Tavern spot is awesome! I randomly dropped in on Taco Tuesday while biking, just wanted a quick drink. But let me tell you, those chicken tacos were to die for—so juicy and flavorful. The vibes were chill, especially as the sun set.

★★★★★ Mrchris, Jul 2023

Dan, the manager at Tavern on Main, is the kind of person who makes a great bar even better. From the moment you walk in, you can tell he genuinely cares about the experience of everyone there.
