We popped into the Tavern very close to closing time on a Monday, hoping for a drink. That can be hard to pull off in a smaller down on a weekday, and we were pleasantly surprised that Broadway was not only willing to seat us but keep the kitchen open for us without a complaint. A few tables and the bar were still full when we arrived, and the space itself is cozy and historic, a great spot for an early nightcap.
We split a pretzel, just expecting bready something to fill our bellies. But I don't think it was just the whiskey and cider talking when it turned out the pretzel was perhaps the best pretzel I've ever had. It was enormous, crusty, soft, and hanging by its own special pretzel hanger, a tool I'd never actually seen before. It also game with some exceptional beer cheese to dip in.
It looks like a lot of folks have had less than positive experiences on Yelp, but we were definitely pleased with ours, and I'll be back the next time I'm in town.
