You can feel the love and dedication from owners who actively engage with their guests, ensuring every visitor enjoys an unforgettable experience. Regulars often share their tales of camaraderie, and as Edward Tunila puts it, "The staff is top notch and as friendly as your neighbor."

First time there today. I felt so welcomed and it was great. They definitely know how to express what family truly means to their guests as soon as you step into the Tavern. Food was awesome too! I even played and was taught how to play a great game of pool. The owners are definitely friendly and I'm glad to meet them both on my first day there! They will definitely see more of me there as I have become part of their family as they call us guest! GREAT, FRIENDLY, AND WONDERFUL SERVICE!!!

Bartender and patrons were very welcoming. I recommend this bar for anyone new to the area. I've been around, and we need more places like this in NEPA.
