It's a Bar. Technically that should sum it up, but because that may mean different things to different people, I will elaborate. There is nothing stellar about The Tavern, but it's nice. It's the sort of place you end up at, but you don't necessarily regret. I've never eaten the food here, so I can't comment on that, but It's not a destination for food in my opinion. It's a college bar, but a bit more upscale. It's not a trashy dive. They have a nice large outdoor patio area as well as the bar and dancefloor area.
