Midtown Tavern

Absolutely loved this place! My client referred me to go here, so while my family was in town for the holidays I said why not!!! Fun great vibes the music was on point better than some of the clubs I've visited here. And I'm from NY so I was very pleased lol if that helps. I know some will say what does that mean, but visit NY and you will understand. I don't know about the food I was already tipsy 😂 hookah was good

I've been to Midtown Tavern twice in the past month or so. Both times were on a Friday night. The first time we came around 9:30. We parked (on the street across from the post office and adjacent to Midtown Tavern) using the Park Mobile app, and it was $8.30 for 4 hours. There was no cover for men or women and there were 4 or 5 groups of people there until around 11 when it started to fill up. On our first visit, we were greeted by a friendly security/bouncer and then a waitress who took great care of us. During the first visit, we watched and participated in karaoke and had a few drinks. I recommend the house tequila (if you are frugal) and they have a full bar and you can also order the typical drink options (i.e. Jack D and coke, tequila sunrise, long island etc.). I tried the lemon pepper wings (because the drinks made me hungry eventually) and they were delicious. As the night went on, we saw about 20 karaoke performances. We had so much fun that my friend Britt decided that she wanted to return this past weekend to celebrate her birthday. We did not pay to park this past weekend. This time we realized that parking was free in the same spot after 10:00 pm and several people were also parking on the street facing Midtown Tavern or in the lot with the post office (not quite in their lot but off to the side on the right. We tried to call to confirm if that was okay, but they did not answer. I used Yelp Tips section and encouragement from strangers and decided to park there. However, my husband kept checking on the car and moved it a few times, just to be on the safe side. We parked on the street adjacent to Midtown Tavern, then he moved over by the post office (not in the lot but off to the right), and then back to the street adjacent to Midtown Tavern because he noticed that many of the cars were gone. Do NOT park at Publix or you will get towed. We came out right before 2 AM to witness someone's car being towed. There are less parking options arriving after 10:30, so arrive earlier if you want to be on the safe side or feel more comfortable paying to park with the Park Mobile App. We were concerned about getting booted this go-round and spent an extra 30 minutes, if not longer trying to ensure everyone a safe place to park. We arrived with a group of 7 people (5 cars). Once we made it inside, there were performances going on (I mean full regalia and dramatics Prince "Purple Rain etc.). There was a birthday party wrapping up and we received no attention from the waitress. The service was more of a miss this time. The staff was not rude, but we felt invisible. We were not offered a table or offered water. It was like night and day compared to the first visit. We ended up ordering drinks from the bar and seating ourselves once the birthday party left. I decided not to order food this time, since the waitress did not come over to help. We ended up getting water eventually, because our bday girl requested it at the bar. I initially thought that this may have been because of our seat choice in the middle on the soft benches rather than the tables, but then we saw the waitress assisting the group of men with hookah and drinks in the middle section after we seated ourselves. We ended up having a better time once we started singing songs. The host and the dj were great and made the experience FUN for us. My husband even got up there and did a song lol! Overall Midtown Tavern is a great time. Arrive early for better parking and a good seat. If you are hungry try the wings! And have fun, whether you sing like Beyonce, Bruno Mars, or William Hong. It's a good vibe.

So this place is definitely getting better than the previous management. It's taking some time however it's really starting to come into its own. They do karaoke Thursday through Saturday. Sunday brunch, and $2 taco Tuesdays. Still wish there was something that fill the void on Wednesdays like beer pong or darts or maybe even pool.
