The Tavern Downtown

Cool spot located in a nice area of downtown. As per everywhere in America, they were short staffed so I’ll give them a pass. The server was nice, polite and honest. She was not one to make an excuse and was eager to alert us so we would not become grumpy! Hats off to her! The drinks were cold (beer) and the atmosphere was ok. The food came out slow. And due to short staff. Although the place was not busy. Fried pickles were ok. The burger was huge! And looked tasty, but did leave something to be desired. My fries were hot and crispy! I’ll give the place 4 stars and would recommend the place to all.

Atmosphere and bar is a 5/5. However, I was hungry and was getting ready to watch UCONN Hockey play at the XL Center. The food selection and menu was good. Their food on the other hand was not. Nachos which weren't pictured were poorly constructed and cold. My burger was the Hangover Burger. Normally these burgers are very tasty. This burger really tasted like nothing. Their was absolutely no seasoning on it. Fries were okay.

Had a hankering for wings, I'm really picky, and I found this down the street from the Hilton I was staying. Made the call and it came exactly like I asked, I say that because so many places can't get the simplest thing right. The wings were perfect, not breaded, basic wings, but larger than most places. I got them with the hot sauce, wasn't as hot as I hoped but that just means I need to go up another notch, next time for sure. The waitress at the bar was also super nice.

My friend and I are visiting from Columbus, Ohio for the 90s Convention. We were browsing places to eat and stumbled upon this gem. We have been two days in a row now! The food was great, prices were great, and Matt and Julie and some other gal took care of us between Thursday and Friday and they were all really cool and fun and just overall a great experience. Thanks you!

I went there on a Wednesday night around 9 PM and it was slow. Just left the XL and wanted to check the Tavern out. I ordered the Cheeseburger Sliders w/fries and pickle since the only thing on the menu was burgers and cheese sticks. The staff was really friendly so I'm giving it a 3, Just Okay. Beer was semi cold, food semi warm. The meat had to be from frozen because it was like a little hockey puck. Fries were 90 % good, but some had a hard middle and a few were limp which makes you wonder. This would be a Great Place to go to if you need to kill time before or after an XL event, but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way for it.
