We live in the area and have eaten at Pines Tavern for dinner; HOWEVER, my husband's most recent experience at this establishment was horrible and has changed our view of this local spot! Recently my husband took an out-of-town friend there for a drink at the bar. They sat at the bar and were quickly approached by a female bartender who rudely told them that the seats they had sat in were quote "not meant for them" but were for a local couple and that they had to move (which she could have conveyed more politely as my husband and his guest had no idea the seats were reserved). Graciously they moved to a different spot in the bar. The same bartender then rudely asked if they were eating or just drinking. This bartender created quite a scene in the room and my husband and his guest felt very unwelcome as if they were outsiders who snuck into a private club. All of this could have been avoided if the bartender had treated them more politely and been more welcoming which is her job! This place is not welcoming to outsiders and clearly only cares about their regular patrons. If you are not from the area or don't frequent this place go somewhere else. There are several other equally nice restaurants in the area that are more welcoming establishments.
