So I have lived next to Hickory Tavern for about 8 years. When I first started going there it was awesome. It felt like a local bar. All the bartenders new your name, had your drink ready for you, just a good place to go. After Dan the GM, left it started to go down hill a little. Slowly but surely it has gotten worse. Way over priced, service is awful, and the food is just so so. The staff make you feel like you are bothering them, if you ask for something. Only real good thing about Hickory is the TVs. Lots of them. It's just too corporate for me now.
