    Heard from a friend that I must check out Tavern 242 because they loved it so much. And today was the day! My friend and I were blown away with the excellent service, food and atmosphere. We decided to share everything we ordered. We began with drinks - the Pear & Proper, the 'FED' and Athletic Golden (NA). All were fabulous. Next the Deviled Eggs, wonderful. Next the Tavern Wedge, flavorful. Bacon Mac & Cheese with Short Rib, tasty & OMG I just have to come back for the dinner Short Ribs! Then the Short Rib & Ricotta Tavern Style Pizza. It was good but a bit too much arugula for me (which I found out later from the chef we could order less of that next time). We ended our feast with Tavern Carrot Cake & Deconstructed Banana Cream Pie, both to die for. The chef even stopped by our table to see what we thought of our experience and food. Needless to say we had leftovers. We will definitely be back in the future to explore the menu some more for delicious food and excellent service!

    A must try in the area for lunch or dinner. We stopped in before a show at red rocks and this meal was outstanding. We started with an order of the crispy Brussels, YUM! Each one was perfectly crisp and drizzled with balsamic glaze. A giant portion so we ended up taking half of it home. Next we had the buffalo chicken egg rolls. These were good however it seemed to be mostly a Buffalo style cream cheese with very few prices of actual chicken inside. For our entrees we ordered the 242 smash burger and Cajun chicken Alfredo. The smash burger was delicious and I loved the weird cut of fries. The chicken Alfredo has a mild kick from the Cajun seasoning and the bacon and cheese was good. I noticed it wasn't really a true Alfredo sauce but still delicious. The Hugo spritz was refreshing for a mid afternoon drink. Our server Nick was great and personable and really made the meal wonderful.

    We stopped here for a bite to eat before a concert at Red Rocks and we loved it all so much that this is now are go to stop before all concerts! Our server Taylor was amazing and made the experience that much better! I ordered the schilling cider in a can but he poured it in a chilled glass for me, made it taste that much better! Delicious and crisp. For my meal I ordered the rotisserie chicken Sammy because Taylor said they were known for their rotisserie chicken and I had to try it. I was honestly left speechless with how good it tasted. The chicken was tender and so flavorful. The Cesar salad paired so well with it, never would have thought to pair them together and the bread was moist and sweet. Just utterly delicious, left me wanting more. The fries were even cooked perfectly, crispy and delicate. We shared the brownie sundae after and it was the perfect sweet treat after such an amazing meal. We arrived around 4:50pm on a Tuesday so no wait for a table and the food came very quickly. The atmosphere is trendy with a mix of sports bar. Liked all the screens playing different sports but also the place felt upscale and the service was definitely upscale. We were pleasantly surprised with the price of the food as well, our bill was under $60 for 2 drinks, 2 meals and 1 dessert. Highly recommend this place and we will be back! There were so many amazing food choices it was hard to pick.

    Brand new spot

    Awesome. This is awesome. Rob our waiter was terrific. We will be back a million times over. But since this is a place where we review food. Here it is. First of all you are gonna get a bang for your buck here. Portion size is nice ! So here are some very small suggestions I had Oysters Rockefeller. Before you serve them detach from the abductor muscle. Also the arugula was good but maybe dress them lightly with migonette? Just makes sense right? The French onion soup? Really tastey but you may have the wrong vessel. Put that thing in a circular thing and melt the cheese over the side....it's fun scraping the cheese off the side of the ramiken. It's what makes it. Finally on your chowder...steam.the halibut. Mine was hammered. Make it soft and cooked perfectly (mine wasn't it was over) and come up with some crunchy element on top. Thus is one man's opinion. Deserts are 100 on point. In the end I can't wait to come back. I will be a frequent flyer. Thanks for opening. Cheers !!!

    This is now our go to spot! Think elevated sports bar. Their happy hour is before 5pm so if you were looking for an early light bite, definitely check this place out the staff is always delightful and friendly! The Philly cheesesteak and Caesar are a must!

    Tavern 242 is a great addition to the neighborhood. We've been wowed both times we've visited. First, the space is gorgeous. I love when the small details are attended to. It's always the little things. For me, the richness of the wood paired with a minimal, slight industrial feel is perfect. We've visited for drink specials and also shared a meal. Both were fantastic visits. The wait staff have been laid back but attentive - like a friend you've known forever. The meal was great as well - a smash burger, street corn, poutine and tacos. We'll def return for this but we're also got our eye on the pizza. We discovered a smooth tequila here too. Thank you, Nathan! You were the highlight of our afternoon there: friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and kind. I see Tavern 242 in our near future (again).

    Opened last Friday 18 @tavern_242. Owned by the same husband and wife team who owns the cute @coweatery in Morrison. This is located in the same enviable location where Home Depot is. It sits in a little hill. This much needed addition to the town of Morrison area has great rotisserie chicken. The two veggie sides were amazing. The Smash Burger was moist and tasty! On or before a Home Depot trip make sure you stop by the newest spot in Morrison! Great food and service. Just remember they're new. Give them a chance.

    Dry rub wings with hot honey sauce on side and blue cheese for dipping over the moon Alice

    Friendly staff with pleasant greetings to start. Wings were large and flavorful but wife's chowder taste good but runny but a plus side salad nice size it's a must visit

    This is a brand new place still struggling to get their feet under them in terms of service and offering, but it is great. Check out their smash burger! Cool spot for sports watching and family lunches. We have already been here a handful of times and we look forward to seeing how they evolve.

    New tavern in the area and had to try! Service was good and the en iroment was hopping. Claimed to be a sports bar and they had plenty of TVs! The place was busy at 515 on a Saturday but didn't have to wait long at all. The prices aren't horrible but the kids mac n cheese at $10 was a bit high. We tried the balsamic glazed short rib and ricotta pizza. Be prepared for a LOT of ricotta... almost to the point that you couldn't taste much else. Crust was pretty good and I'm sure it'll be even better on a red sauce pizza without ricotta. Beer, wine, and cocktail selection is fair for the size of the establishment.

    Wasn't my first time in, but this is my first post about the food!! Tonight I tried the "242 Chowdah" and had the Appetizer "Crispy Buffalo chicken eggrolls" suggested drink was the " Jamison orange old-fashioned" Honestly the best items I've had... Service was outstanding (Izzy) was energetic and fun!!!

We came early enough that we got a booth no problem but note if you've got a larger party with little ones, you may have a wait - most of their seating options are high tops and they don't have highchairs. Now. Alaskan cuisine was a new one for me, but I was excited to try. We started our journey with some huckleberry old fashioneds. I love huckleberry and will always get it if available and this did not lead me astray. We started with crab dip which was a hit even with our baby. For the mains, my husband got the meatloaf platter and was obsessed. I had their specialty burger (a mix of beef and elk) that included arugula, goat cheese, jam and some onions - also top notch. To finish things off we got chocolate raspberry cheesecake and... Wow. Delectable. If it's not obvious, the food here is epic and I love the concept and theme. Will happily return next time we're in the area. That cheesecake though....

    We gave this unassuming little strip mile joint a try on Father's Day based on its great reviews…read moreoverall, it was a very good experience. They do not offer high chairs and I definitely miss this is it meant that I had to try to juggle a beer and eating dinner with my 13 month old which definitely takes away from the experience so if you're gonna go in with kids be prepared. My son had the barbecue wings and they were very good. They had been smoked instead of just thrown in the fryer which was a nice touch. The blue cheese chips were really good as were the fish and chips. We had it with cod. Oh my goodness Yum next time my way to give the cheese ball a skip because it just wasn't my thing, but I knew that going in my husband wanted to try it though
