This place is back up for sale!! This was a great place…read morewith the old owners! We went there twice. First time was an awful experience, but had a good burger. The owner has a personality of a snail and so did the bartender. She was not friendly at all, actually the opposite. This place needs an owner like the old owners who talk to people and are friendly . That's the only way you can make money in this area in this kind of business if you have a bad owner and bad staff, even if you have good food, you're not going to make it and that's exactly what happened. And it's nowhere near worth the money they're asking for it. Because the business has been terrible we go by there every day and the most cars you see are maybe four in the parking lot. It's a shame if the owner had a better attitude and hired people who knew what they were doing this place can make some serious money. It's a shame because soon as they opened, people in town started talking about the bad attitude!! Oh and the menu is very small!!! Beer warm just not good all around. But mostly the owner and staff are not what a place like this needs. Hopefully the new owner will have a better attitude and higher bartenders that are actually friendly and can carry on a conversation more than what do you want like you're bothering them.!!! Good luck!!

Old City Tavern makes a really good burger, and they have lots of burger options. They also have a…read moreselection of (mostly fried) appetizers, cold sandwiches, and hoagies. But come in for the burgers. They're consistently juicy and perfectly done, seasoned well and weighing in at 8 oz. They also have a bar but I don't drink so I can't give any direction there. They have nightly specials, including wing night, burger night, bike night, and trivia night. As far as atmosphere, they have a few gaming machines, darts, and a pool table as well. The place is clean, although there is some equipment out in the open in the dining room left over from the previous owner that aren't being used. Service is good, but since the menu is sandwich-centric, you'll have to ask for silverware if you want it. Really, the only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is because the menu is pretty much all bar food. It makes for a great stop for lunch, but if you're looking forward to a dinner platter, you won't find it here. What they do, they do it well.

Combined review of hotel and restaurant. Highly recommend the restaurant, not so much the hotel,…read moreread on to find out why. Expensive menu here totally justified because the food tasted great and they obviously pay attention to detail, and the service was absolutely flawless. Here is the original combined review: First impression (over the phone) of the hotel is the reason we chose this one: Yvonne; she was great! The wait to check in was painfully long. There were 2 people behind the desk but only one taking care of clients. When we got to the desk, the girl (I wish I had gotten her name but I didn't) was very professional, apologized for the long wait, and took care of us quickly, so I can only assume the people ahead of us had a special request or something.. .and that is definitely forgivable. At the bar we were greeted by John, very experienced at his job and it showed. After he left we got Emily. She had a great attitude, had only nice things to say about co workers and her bosses. She also was very good at bartending. I would highly recommend the bar / restaurant. We decide to eat and instead of a table just stayed at the bar where we met several friendly locals and had great conversations, as well as with one of the cooks as he was leaving for the night (James) who was so funny I told him he should try his hand at stand up. That man has talent as a storyteller. We were feeling very happy when it was time to call it a night and go up to the room to sleep... and that was when we noticed the issue... NOISE. You could not miss every single noise coming from other rooms... I was woken at 3am to what sounded like someone trying out a new pair of lead boots above my head! It was not a good nights sleep and we had a very busy day the next day so that was very disappointing. On our way out we stopped at the front desk to mention the noise issue and was told when they renovated the hotel they didn't exactly spend a lot of time on sound proofing... and for people who are traveling through and consider a good sleep important, that is an incredibly important detail to miss. Since we do stay at a lot of hotels, I assumed they'd attempt to try to make this right with us, maybe something off the bill or some sort of benefit if we come back or whatever. But instead we just got the story of the renovation and nothing to try to make us feel better about not getting any sleep. Extremely disappointing, as other hotels we have stayed at always try to do something to make up for a legitimate concern. (We don't have a lot of complaints but when we do we are never brushed off like that.) I was wondering if management doesn't instruct their front desk staff what to do when a client has a concern. It didn't appear they were brushing us off in a rude way, more like they just didn't know what to do for us. They told us next time we come we should request the top floor. Ummm... there's a very good chance we won't stay over ever again because we feel like our concern wasn't heard or taken seriously. We would definitely go back to eat there, but not sleep (or... not sleep, actually). They did a beautiful job on the aesthetics of the renovation. You can clearly see the pride they took with this. I wish they had taken the soundproofing as seriously. Every single member of the staff we had contact with was fantastic and made us want to come back. The food was pricey but very tasty. I had the portabella with a salad and I can't wait to have it again, it was so good. The bar atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable. The room was clean, the climate control worked properly, they have blackout curtains in the rooms, the bathroom was spacious and clean. The elevator was painfully slow but the stairs were accessible and we ended up using them instead. A tweak here and there and this place could be perfect. For the price they charge for an overnight stay, they really should be looking into soundproofing, and figure out the elevator situation, not sure why any elevator would be as slow as theirs is. The food was VERY good and the service was flawless. Thank you for the wonderful job that your staff did. They are the biggest reason I would highly recommend the restaurant to friends & family and I am sharing this review online, on my social media, and on TripAdvisor. Date of stay: March 2019

Ordered a drink from the bar and my husband really enjoyed that plus we had the chicken quesadillas for an appetizer, and they were very good as always. I ordered my prime medium well and it was more on well done - very hard to chew. My husband got medium and his was perfect on the sear, he gave me some of his to try and it was like mine - no taste. Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper and some garlic powder, spend over $100 there and wasn't happy. Be sometime before we return. I gave 3 stars for the drink, appy and server but got to get better on the main item, you are a steakhouse - the steaks should be PERFECT!

Don't sleep on the weekly specials, either! There's something new every time we go in. They play trivia most Friday nights. Trivia hits a sweet spot between having enough easy questions that you feel smart with enough challenging questions sprinkled in to keep things challenging.

It's a quaint Irish pub owned by Eric and his wife Chrissy. We sat at the bar and they were very welcoming. We both had soup - loaded potato and the seafood chowder. Then I had scallops and shrimp with Mac and cheese and my husband had wings fries and salad. Everything was delicious. The desserts are made by Chrissy and do not disappoint, though we had to take ours to go since we were so full. Anyway, definitely recommend if you're looking for a home away from home atmosphere and some really good food.
