I must say....I was impressed with Chef Chris's wings! His wing sizes are large!  The flappers remain unsplit, meaning the wingtip is still attached.  These wings are so large that even the wingtips offered up enough crispy skin and meat to warrant a few nibbles.  The wings themselves, as I said, were very big.  But also very high quality. No yucky gristle.  Fried perfectly.  And the meat pulls easily and cleanly from the bone.  Cant ask for more. The sauce is very good and offers a unique taste. He offers an appropriate amount of heat for the respective name. I have tried his other creations which are equally scrumptious! Great mouth feel.  Here's the best news of all.  Each and every one of my wings remained crispy till the very last bite!  Absolutely surprised me.  The crispy skins stayed crispy despite the spectacular sauce soaking them. In addition to the wings the server, Monica, suggested their Bahn Mi sandwich. I am glad she did because that sandwich is also awesome with the crunchy tater tots as the side dish! All in all, you won't go wrong with this gastropub food and selection of beer!! read more

The ambiance mostly. Lots of craft brews and just enough of a food menu to make it a dinner stop. Hit it most on date night with my girlfriend. read more

Updated Review. Spoke with Manager and he indicated that my card was run by accident when trying to close out another person's account. So I am updating my review to indicate friendly service, great food, and great atmosphere. Thanks for holding on to my card for so long until I got back into town. Sorry for the misunderstanding. read more

"I like it Roff!" Love this place. Excellent selection of beer by the bottle and they have rotating beers on tap. Microbrew beer. The food is really good. Specialty pizzas of which my favorite is the "grass skirt". The appetizers are great too, especially the pizza logs, loaded gator tots, and pretzels with beer cheese. read more

We love this place! Draft beer 1/2 off from 4-6 every day with a great selection. They have additional specials every day. They recently changed the menu/raised prices a bit but the food (especially the pizza) is really good. The staff are all great and very welcoming. They also have a side room where you can build your own 6 pack with a pretty good selection. They will also swap out any bottles/cans if they have cold ones in the fridge. Plenty of space, great set up, plenty of TVs. We moved here when it was getting colder so haven't had the chance to enjoy the outside but it looks like plenty of space and looking forward to checking it out in the spring and summer. It really is a great, local spot. Highly recommend. read more

Liked it much better when they had burgers. The pizza is good, burgers were better. Wonderful choice of beers

Honestly have no complaints, the atmosphere is awesome the drinks are fairly priced and the food is surprisingly very good for bar food, I could recommend the mac n cheese / bacon specialty pizza it's a nice bar with an interesting vibe, I especially like the outdoor area in the back complete with a stocked fire and horseshoe pits ! read more

Roff School Tavern is a beer-lover's dream. Brews from all over the world are on display at RST, ranging from the big-business brewers to lesser known microbrews. Drafts are rotated frequently, providing an amazing variety to please everyone's palate. RST has also begun serving food! You can expect typical pub food, but also delicious flatbreads, burgers, and much more, and for a very reasonable price. The highlight of Roff School Tavern is it's atmosphere. There are many events, including music showcases, BBQ's, etc. in its outdoor beer garden. The Beer Garden also has ladder golf, horseshoe pits, and Bocce. They've recently attracted a lot of great local musical talent. Roff is also the venue for a great trivia night. (Monday Nights during the school year.) Teams compete for weekly bragging rights, and the event draws large crowds. Roff also offers a beer club, providing prizes and recognition for those who try many unique beers. They're really doing a great job of expanding horizons! read more

How are there not more awesome reviews for this place!? I was visiting my parents a while ago and dropped into the Roff with a few friends. I had been away for a while and didn't realize the bar was even in existence. This place had always been a bit of a dive in its previous ventures, so naturally I was pretty skeptical walking in the door. As a craft beer fanatic, I'm always on the lookout for a good venue with a good selection. As a former resident of Meadville, I had gotten skeptical with expecting a good brew selection from most Meadville venues (aside from actually visiting the local breweries). Roff proved me wrong. They had an impressive number of selections which were available at amazing prices. Maybe the prices are only amazing to me because I'm used to Southeastern PA's inflated bar prices. Anyway. It's a good place. It's an even better place for out-of-towner reunions where you're looking for quality brews to try. I knock one star off as the back room still looks kind of sketchy. Maybe they've fixed that up a bit since, but the fluorescent lighting looks so, so tacky. read more

Great food and service. Had the diablo pizza , an Asian pizza and a wrap. Couldn't say which was my favorite because they were all amazing. They know how to make fries!!! Will definitely be back. And they are dog friendly!!!! read more

This is literally the first place in, conservatively, 150 places I have asked if they have the beer I like most currently, that said yes, of course. Enough said. The chicken bacon ranch was great too, but let's be honest that's a distant second on the list if reasons to give roff a shot. It's worth it. read more

Roff School Tavern - Gastropubs Near Me - Meadville, Pennsylvania

Fun spot with excellent beer selections. Probably the best beer selection in the meadville area. In the summer the outside area is wonderful. Some of the pizzas are excellent while others are not as good. Nothing is a complete miss though. read more

This place was fun. The food was really good and the staff was very friendly. The menu was a little confusing but the food makes up for it. There large jenga game outside was a nice touch and we really enjoyed the outside area, complete with a fire pit. read more

As far as beer goes, this is the best beer selection in Meadville. They had the rotating menu of microbrews with the chalkboard before there was ever a UPick or a Taphouse up in Erie. This is a great bar with good food and a huge outdoor space that is great during the summertime. If you go to the Crawford County Fair, this is the perfect place to wind down and end the night afterwards. read more

Incredible beer selection, perhaps the best in northwest Pennsylvania. The food's decent, too. On weekends, it tends to fill up with the "just out of college and wish they were still there" crowd. read more

Great craft Brew on tap, and you can't beat happy hour half off drafts and apps from 5-7.

Great bar, 5 craft beers on tap, 5-7 happy hour half off crafts. But the thing that stands out is the bartender Zack is amazing. Make sure that you keep this guy, he is that glue that keeps everything together. Keep up the goos work. Will definitely keep coming back. read more

Went there a few weeks ago while visiting Meadville, this place is fanfrickentastic! Great beer selection, great prices, and an outdoor section out back that can't be beat on a nice night. Will go every time I'm in town. Wish it was nearer to us! read more

Best selection of bottled craft beer. Great burgers & pizza. Everyone loves a place with a good Happy Hour.

Great burgers and awesome beer. Nice hip place with great specials. Large outside seating area with huge yard games and a fire pit

Good food , Great beer. Love the beer room where you can pick a bottle and chill it in a few minutes.

Feeling adventurous in Meadeville, but also based on recommendation, I decided to venture out & find this place known for its pizza. The story behind the venue is its a school house dating to 1932 that was turned into a bar c. 1992 or so. So the interior is actually pretty cool. The place I feel though is probably more worth it for its beer selection w/ tons and tons of esoteric pilsners and IPAs from seemingly every corner of the known world. Me, I just go with Miller Lite. So the billions of beer thing doesn't really do it for me. As for the pizza, which was really why I came, I was rather disappointed. It started out good working from the outside corners (it comes out to you square cut BTW) but working in I found myself getting drenched with oil. Probably why they give you a large dispenser filled napkins when it comes out. I was hungry and didn't complain and parts were good but in retrospect I probably should have sent it back and yes it was really that oily. You could squeeze the center pieces like a sponge and the oil would just pour out. Service is somewhat so-so as you'll usually have to flag down your bar tender even when there are only like two other people in the bar as was the case the second time I came back and yes I actually came back as this town is so painfully boring and miserable that going here seems like a potentially fun adventurous thing. Except its not. I dunno, maybe the burgers are alright which is what this place's other culinary special is. But really who cares, as this place ultimately comes off as what is more the norm for Meadeville: screwed up and sub-par. read more

Roff's has the best beer selection in NW PA! A great atmosphere and awesome patio area outback with horseshoes, corn-hole, and giant jenga. The food is phenomenal and original. Fresh pizzas and burgers in ways you've never dreamed about (looking at you Mark Cuban). Also the staff is great and really knows the beers. read more

Roff's has it all. Amazing food (especially the pizza!!), huge selection of the best craft beer, and a great atmosphere both indoors and outdoors in their beer garden where you can enjoy a summer campfire, beer pong, and giant Jenga! Definitely highly recommend visiting for either dinner or drinks! read more
