Great beer selection! No food, but they allow you to bring food in. And they'll put soccer on the back TV while you drink your beer.

Nice addition to Highland Square; clean, comfortable décor - not a huge place but big enough. I've never been here late at night or on a weekend, so it may be far more crowded at those times. I've stopped in a few times just after work and there have just been (maybe) a dozen neighborhood regulars here, maybe a young couple or two, with the jukebox on and watching some sports on TV.
Excellent selection of draft beers for a bar of this size; service was generally friendly and prompt. I'd like to stop in here later some Friday or Saturday night to see what it's like; my guess is it skews toward a little older crowd, but I could be wrong. I'm a little older myself, so there's nothing wrong with that.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Brock K.Ravenna, OH46011Oct 30, 2018
Very disappointed with my experience at the Tavern. The bartender was very attentive, I believe her name was Lindsay, she was fantastic. Unfortunately other people in the bar, along with someone that acted like she worked at the bar, but was not working, continuously spoke expletives over and over again to the point that she acted as if she wanted attention. Will not recommend this establishment nor will I visit this bar again.

Like Cheers in Highland Square. A good amount of regulars but also welcoming to everyone. Cleanest bar in the square. Friendly bartenders.

I had very lackluster service today. By a rude brunette bartender! She was very short a dry in her service, and not attentive at all!

Hands down worst service I've ever had in a bar in my young adult life. Bartender with dark hair and her chest hanging out would only pay attention to you if you were a male. Only saw her twice in the hour we were there. Ruined a friends birthday. Bummer :(

Worst bar in Highland Square. Two female bartenders were rude and it was extremely hard to get their attention to receive a drink. Bought a round of drinks, they tasted fine. Ordered another round and they tasted like water. As soon as she handed me the drinks I tasted them and they all had no flavor. As if their soda machine was out of syrup. Told the bartender this and she tells me that that is impossible. Completely ridiculous. She said exchanges were not allowed, even though she just made me the drinks & set them down in front of me and watched me taste them and tell her that something was wrong. Can't believe I wasted $50 on those nasty drinks. Will never return here again.

Yeah, they have a good selection of draft beers. But after a few sips, my Rhinegeist Truth was clearly old. So old it was disgusting. I couldn't finish it. And my friend's Guinness was also old. Guinness. This is a Tavern, right? Shouldn't Guinness be their flagship tap? Pretty disappointed.

Went to the bar specifically to see a band they had on set for the night. The bar manager told the band they were too loud and made them leave! At a bar! I left and I know a bunch of other people who left, too. Next time, let the music play!!!

3,5 Stars, Decent bar, but nothing special. It's the newest bar in the Highland Square so therefore it is the cleanest. Good selection of beers on tap and a good amount of flat screen TVs. Some of the main cons are that the place is small in general. There aren't that many tables or standing space. It is also quite loud. It's a nice bar, but again nothing makes me want to come back.
