Fabulous drinks and yummy gluten free nachos! Came in after a few pickleball games and we're feeling parched! Started with some waters and got a watermelon drink and I got the passion star martini! (One of my FAVORITE drinks in the world). I wish they made it with the sparkling wine floater on the side like the original recipe, but it was still good. I have a gluten allergy and I LOVED how the manager brings them out with an allergy pick. I feel safe and had a great evening

Brunch drinks

First time at this location on a Saturday around 1pm- the parking lot looked busy but there are many seats inside, including a very large bar. The food was great and came out quickly. Servers and food runners were friendly and many servers/staff helped clear dishes from our table throughout the meal. Very tasty brunch options. :)

Stopped by for dinner one night on our trip and we loved this spot!! It is such a fun bar, great menu, and super yummy food. Khloe went above and beyond for us, she was so sweet and made our night! Spacious and cozy interior. We will definitely be recommending to all of our friends and can't wait to be back! The cookie skillet was to die for.

This is a cool restaurant setup with your typical Tavern In The Square fare. Service was OK. Not that great, to be honest. We were seated outside, which was fine given the weather, and all of the windows/doors were open anyways, although I would've appreciated them asking us for a eating preference. The nachos were good, not enough toppings. The wings were underwhelming, too few and not very meaty nor flavorful. The parts was OK as well, salty.

Buffalo Cauliflower
John P.

Came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Busy crowd but we were able to get seated in a decent size both right away for just two of us. Ordered up the espresso Martini at the recommendation of my friend who said they were really good here. Also ordered the buffalo cauliflower and a grilled chicken caesar salad. The buffalo cauliflower was insanely great. Great amount of heat and perfectly coated and cooked just right. Really great flavor. I would get that again and again and again. The chicken caesar salad was also really good. Chicken was grilled up nicely with the grill marks and all. Very most and delicious! Service was spot on. Very attentive, fast, and friendly. Love the layout of this place. I will definitely be back whenever I'm visiting the area again.

Came up from FL and out went for an early Mother's day dinner with 2 of my sons + others. (6 total). Food: i couldnt find too much on the menu that really stood out that i HAD to try. I asked the waitress which she would pick, Hot honey chicken or the fish & chips? I went with her suggestion and got the Hot Honey Chicken Stack.. it wasnt the best. Chicken was a little over cooked and I had a hard time cutting it. And the taste was just blah.. nothing special to write about.. Def pick something else on the menu. The others all got different things and they all liked there meals. The tater tots and sweet potato fries were great side choices. My husband got the steak and cheese crunch melt.. and I don't know if it's just cuz he loves food or if it ws actually good, but he devoured it (he did mention to say it was good). 2 others got steak tips with mashed and broccoli, no complaints and the other 2 got a club and a chicken ranch Handheld. They all enjoyed their meals. Service: its was mediocre. Nothing to brag about. Noone went over and above for me to mention about. Only one check back after our food eas delivered, until it was time to drop off check. Ambiance: its your typical American sports bar scenery. Huge bar throughout the whole place. Pretty busy. I honestly wish I had something more exciting to say about the place. Maybe next t time ill try a dessert and hopefully that will be exciting..

Blackened bacon & Blue burger, cooked medium $18.  Very good

2 of us arrived Saturday around 5 and although there were lots of cars in the lot, it is so large inside there were plenty of bar, high tops and regular tables available. BAR: Large, clean, comfy chairs. Wine is $17 for a 9 0z pour. Beer is $9.50. Selection of NA beers also. FOOD: Very good. Bang Bang broccoli is tasty, very filling. Burger was made to order and good quality. Thai chicken salad was yummy, and a generous size. ATMOSPHERE: The volume of noise was low when we arrived, but within an hour it got quite loud in there, difficult to have a conversation without shouting. SERVICE: Jessie was our bartender in the beginning and he is attentive, friendly and has a very strong customer service attitude. After drinks, he moved to the other side of the bar, so we had several other individuals order for us and check on us periodically. All very cordial. This was a positive experience, and I know things are crazy expensive these days, but for a good pub meal, our tab was over $120 after tip. We eat in more and more, as what used to be an affordable, casual meal is now the price of eating out at a higher end restaurant.

TSQ Mimosa
Donald T.

This is my third time having brunch here and I very much enjoy Tavern! The bar is well kept, staffed, and has plenty of room for anyone to stop in. Even when busy, the place doesn't feel crowded. I've never had an issue getting a table or a seat even when my trip was unplanned. For brunch, I opted for a single ricotta pancake, potatoes, and bacon along with a mimosa(s). The pancake was fluffy, but a little dry so I needed to cover it in syrup, but it was very edible and was delicious with the syrup. They serve these as a meal (stack of three), but one was enough for me. The bacon was VERY crispy, but delicious (i prefer a little less crispy myself) and the potatoes were very delicious and made with peppers. And don't let the mimosa fool you, it has plenty of Prosecco in there! Price wise, this whole meal cost me less than $30 before tip. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and really like dinning at the Tavern. Never a bad visit and I'll definitely be going back.

Delicious
Brianna L.

Food is delicious. but I will say it's kind of insulting as a customer to ask for things, spices, boxes, the check, etc. then have the waitress chat and giggle at the stand with her friends while we're trying to leave. Added an extra 20 minutes throughout the whole experience just waiting for her to finish up conversations and make her way back.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE
Anshita S.

Had lunch here last week. This is a new location and I like the way it is furnished. Our server was Megan and she was AMAZING! Super helpful and considerate to my dietary requests. 5/5!!! The food could definitely use some improvements. SOUTHWEST EGG ROLLS - I was so glad to finally see veggie egg rolls on a menu. The flavor was on point. Indulgent and so worth the calories. But they got cold and soggy by the time they reached our table. Crispy hot rolls would have been a treat to eat. BLACKENED FISH TACOS - My husband really liked these, the fish was crispy and well seasoned. Could use some more sauce. The corn salad it came with was delicious! KALE QUINOA SALAD- this was just not good. There was hardly any quinoa. The sprouted peas were raw. Any sprouted peas/beans have to be cooked after sprouting them, not common knowledge but I expect the chef to know this. The dressing didn't do anything to add flavor. Hard Pass! MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE- now this was delicious. Perfectly melted chocolate inside, warm cake and cold icecream. Loved it!

A friend and I wanted to have brunch and since this location recently opened, we figured we would give it a try. We both have been to several different locations but since this recently opened 6 months or so ago, it was the perfect time to visit. It was a cold but sunny day and a long week usI made reservations in case were for 11:30am. It was crowed but still had a few tables filled. They have a private parking lot which is extremely convenient. Food: the food was better than expected, I love when I'm happily surprised. We were both pretty hungry so went directly to ordering our meals: Bayou chicken pasta and Parmesan crusted chicken, both were great! The pasta has great flavor, seasoned well, creamy and spicy. The chicken dish reminded me of chicken Milanese, which is a fav of mine. Large piece of chicken with a nice caper sauce, chive mashed potatoes and red onions. Both dishes had great portions and the flavors meshed well. Service: the waitress wasn't too attentive, not sure if she was new. We ordered mimosas and she brought us out margaritas. We had to wait 10 minutes for her to return for us to let her know she got the order was incorrect. She barely checked on us throughout the meal to see if we needed anything and our waters were never refilled. It's good to have options in this area for restaurants/bars as I've heard there isn't much. The food was good, will def return to try out other menu items, I just hope the service improves.

This place is always the go to spot when it comes to drinks, appetizers, and sports! Many options on tap for beer and the ambience is always a great vibe!

This is the sesame salmon, more rice than anything

A place where you can just shoot pool for hours, eat above average bar food, and chill. When we lived in El Paso, Clicks Billiards was that place. We weren't sure we'd ever find a place like that again after moving. Then....we found Maxamillians Billiards. And if first impressions mean anything, I believe we've just discovered our new favorite watering hole. One thing I did not expect a pool hall to serve was brick oven pizza. Right off the bat, that's a bonus star in my book! Oh, for those wondering, the pizza was excellent, btw! A thin crust perfectly toasted accompanied by a slightly sweet (but not too sweet) sauce which compliments the cheese brilliantly! Sharing some properties of traditional NY style pizza, I'd certainly give this one a 10 out of 10. The buffalo wings weren't too shabby either. Tangy sauce with just enough kick to be not too spicy. I couldn't find a single thing wrong with these ones; 10 out of 10, would recommend. Now then....when it comes to service, it's surprisingly good. For the most part. We *did* have a slight hiccup in the beginning when I ordered a Cab and the lady brings back what appears to be a Chardonnay. How in the hell you confuse Cabernet for Chardonnay, I'll never know. But I don't hold it against her entirely. Because, believe it or not, this isn't the first place to have done that to me. It's just that I'll never, EVER understand how anyone confuses the two. And I definitely spoke loud enough for her to hear me. Other than that though, service was great. I do wish she had came by a little more often so that I could reorder drinks. But to be honest, it seems as though the servers here are slightly overwhelmed. See, I believe there were maybe 3 attendants for the entire series of pool tables running that evening. You also have to keep in mind this place has a full bar to boot. As in...one you'd expect to see at a regular restaurant. In other words, these servers definitely have their work cut out for them. So naturally, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and exuded a zen-like patience. Plus, she was wicked sweet. So, we gave her a generous tip. Speaking of which, there's also an onsite ATM in the front by the entrance for anyone in need of cash. And a lotto machine to boot. How New England of them. XD For those wondering, this pool hall does have a private parking lot. I know that can be a concern for some when visiting Mass establishments. Though that tends to mostly depend on the city you're visiting. Though wifey and I will always miss Clicks Billiards back in El Paso, Maxamillians Billiards is a more than suitable replacement for us. And I am giving them 5 crispy cheese pizzas baked to perfection in a brick oven out of 5.

Imagine you're at home on a rainy Wednesday evening. The clouds are bleak like your mood, so you…read moredon't really feel like cooking. You insouciantly scroll through your Yelp feed, not particularly sure what you have an appetite for because making decisions is about as difficult as adulting. This, ladies and gentlemen, is my wife to a T. Although, she highlighted this place to me and I was instantly hooked - so, I can't complain too much. Now, it isn't clear to us how long this place has been in our midst. But judging from the lack of photos, I'm willing to bet that it's either not yet well known enough or it's a fairly new place. In any case, O'Brien's Sports Bar deserves far more recognition than it's getting at the time of me reviewing this. I've been to plenty of Irish pubs. Some good, some rather meh. I've only tried one meal so far. But based on that, plus the copious menu selection, I can already tell you O'Brien's is possibly the best Irish pub I've tried food from in a long while. I was quite disappointed when they permanently closed down Waxy O'Connor's in Lexington. But I believe O'Brien's will be a more than suitable replacement to satisfy my yearning for Irish cuisine. So, as the intro infers, we ordered take-away via DoorDash, of all things. Which implores me to bring up this caveat: there's a vast difference between ordering from DoorDash versus what's actually available on the O'Brien's menu via their website. Basically, DoorDash represents a severely gutted version of their menu, in my opinion. Certain items, you just can't order from DoorDash...for SOME reason. A few examples include: the seafood chowder, chicken marsala, and pretty much any burger that's more complex than your traditional cheese burger. Not really a ding against the restaurant itself. I'm just ranting here to state that I really hate DoorDash sometimes. They're as overpriced as they are underequipped. /endrant Anywho, I kept things simple this evening and tried the fish n' chips. Upfront, I gotta tell ya....they give you a shitload of fish! Like...at least 10 to 12 ounces (or 6 huge nuggets), if I had to guess. And whilst the fish itself was delicious and meaty, the batter could have benefited from some type of seasoning. Let's just say...this is the type of fish that requires tartar sauce. Oh, speaking of which.. I didn't get any tartar sauce with my order. No idea why. But it's a good thing we always keep some at the house (and it's the fancy kind, too). Now, their chips are like nothing I've ever seen. The best way I could describe them is....well seasoned boomerang fries. Hey, I don't care WHAT shape they are, so long as they're tasty as hell! Overall, the dish gets an 8 out of 10, despite them forgetting the tartar sauce. We've already decided we'll dine in at this place apropos for a date night. I mean, based on our DoorDash experience, it seems clear to us this will be the only way to experience their complete menu. And I've already got my eyes on the aforementioned chowder, chicken marsala, and/or one of their delicious looking burgers. And then maybe, just MAYBE...we can get some more photos onto their page already. I have a feeling this rating may get adjusted upon revisit. But for now, I'm giving O'Brien's Sports Bar 4 gigantic fish nuggets with tasty boomerang fries out of 5.

We have both been talking about our meals since we left the restaurant, both meals were excellent, and the best we have ever had, not that their other meals aren't good, but these 2 plates were top notch.

Mediocre french onion soup. Average fries and tacos, big portions. Mediocre pizza. Good community vibe, though empties out late. BUT for me, a non-drinker? On visit #2, I noticed soda + 3 refills was $10, $2.50 each refill. Seemed excessive, complicated refills (having to formally consent to more, no top off), doesn't favor designated drivers. Bartender #2 shrugged and said some people order only a soda all day, as if that explains it. Except I usually order an entree or tip generously if only getting a soda, so I am not they. Maybe make a "free refills with entree" or "free refills for designated driver" rule, but not an "others abuse this, so we overcharge you" rule. Or expect I'll take it personally. I'd been trying to decide if I should be a regular. Bartender #2 expended zero energy in trying to convince me I was wrong to think I shouldn't come back. She made it super clear she thought that it just fine if I wasn't back. I'd been nothing but kind and polite, other than noting at the end that the policy unfair. No "I'll talk to management" or "yeah, that's unfair" from her. She owned that policy like it was her idea and a good one.
