    Yummy drinks
    Lauren H.

    Great service, good vibes and yummy food and drinks. A group of 10 of us came in for happy hour and had a great time! We actually tried to get into the Side Car next door, but they couldn't fit us all and asked us to come here. Highly recommend the Tenderlion Bites If you love cremini mushrooms, crispy onions and teriyaki glaze as much as I do. It was a bit pricey at $17 but it was delicious. I really love coming here in the summer when they open up the windows that function like garage doors.

    Cool old timey bar. Burger and fries were good. Jalepeno cheese pretzels were good as well. Service a little slow.

    Juicy Lucy (Burger of the Moment), hamburger in background

    Coworker friend and I had Saturday night drinks and dinner here before a show next door. Street parking is tough when it's busy, but we luckily found a spot in the lot across the street. We were greeted by the hostess and got our names on the list. Had a short 10 minute wait next to the bartop. Just enough time to get a drink placed with the bartender and a sip or two down before a table was available. There were so many good things on the menu, and reviews here on Yelp. I decided on the Burger of the Moment: the Juicy Lucy. Omgosh... Top 5 hamburger I've ever had. The cheese was melted perfectly. My mouth did not get 3rd degree burns. And the bun was toasted yet soft on the outside. Fries were perfect too. Friend is a light eater and requested a kids hamburger (smaller patty). She says it was tasty but was disappointed it didn't come with a fixing (lettuce, tomato). An accidental assumption, misunderstanding. Waittress was friendly and quick with food delivery and bill. Private one room bathroom. Clean and stocked. Great ambiance in both bar area and dining room.

    Mediterranean gyro
    Ava C.

    I visited Town Hall Tap on a Friday evening with 3 other people. As far as I could tell there was only street parking which is fine. We got a table easily which I always love! I got the orange blossom cocktail and I highly recommend this drink if you enjoy fruity cocktails! I ordered the Mediterranean gyro and it was the most disappointing gyro. The meat was not cut like gyro meat and it was incredibly dry. There was maybe one slice of tomato on the gyro. I also asked for no onions and still ended up with onions on my gyro, not the best. Two of my friends ordered the Burger of the Moment. This burger was a "surf and turf" style burger. As it was a spontaneous choice to choose the Burger of the Month, it just wasn't a great burger. The patty was overdone and dry. The shrimp with the Cajun flavor did not work well with the burger. However, it is important to keep in mind that this was the Burger of the Moment so hopefully it will not be on the menu for long. My friend who ordered a salad, enjoyed the dish but it is difficult to mess up a salad. I gave this restaurant 3 stars because our waiter was very nice and attentive & the atmosphere was enjoyable. However, at the end of the day I will not be coming back to this restaurant. I came to this restaurant to enjoy a tasty meal with friends and I was beyond disappointed with the food.

    Cheese curds & Fried pickles
    Lydia C.

    Just went here for the first time and there was no parking lot however the street parking was easy to find. I really loved the chicken tenders and fries. My friends and I also split the cheese curds and fried pickles and they were good too, however I personally prefer my fried pickles without cream cheese. Our server was very nice and attentive as well. Will be back soon.

    Just decided to give it a try since we needed to kill some time and so glad we did. WOW! The service is excellent, super friendly and had zero problems getting samples of beer since we didn't know what we wanted. The food was amazing and so fresh. We got one of thier burgers and it was one of the juiciest burgers I've had in a long time. The ambience is super cute and reminds me of Wi. :) I wish we lived closer so we could come here more, as I feel we could easily become a regular here. But we will for sure be back! Oh and the brunch on weekends has $2.75 Mimosas till 11, how can you go wrong.

    George & The Dragon is a super cool restaurant that my hubby and I tried for a double date night…read morewith our friends. We came on a Monday night at 6:15pm. This place does get busy so definitely keep that in mind. Luckily I made reservations ahead of time so we had a table waiting for us, otherwise we would have been put on a waiting list since it's a small space. They put us in a corner booth which was nice and spacious enough for 4 people so I'd definitely recommend asking for a booth verse a table if you're planning to come with a larger group. The servers are all very friendly and helpful. I appreciated their attentiveness and sharing what they like best, especially for what's in season based on the time of year. The menu has quite a bit of variety too which is sometimes unexpected when you come to a pub-style location. For appetizers we got Onion Ring and Fried Pickles. They were both really good and served with dipping sauces. Definitely both shareable items so if you're in a group they'd be great options! My entree I chose the Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon served with lemon soy marinade, creamy cucumbers, and jasmine rice -- it was SO good!! I loved the creaminess of the cucumbers especially with the rice and than the lemon soy marinade was just a unique touch to the salmon. Toned the flavors down without overpowering acidity. And the salmon was so dreamy, a beautiful pink color that you just knew it wasn't a farm raised salmon. Plus the portion was very generous!! I'd definitely recommend the Alaskan Sockeye Salmon to anyone interested in visiting here. #eatwildsavewild The only negatives (which are more so just knowledge bombs for you): * Restaurant is VERY loud. It's hard to hear because it is one small room that everyone plus the bar is in. I wished I would have took a picture to show what I mean. Just know that if it's an intimate setting you're looking for this is not the place. So be prepared to talk loudly over the loudness and ask "excuse me?" or "repeat that" many times throughout your visit because you're not going to hear everything. * Timed eating. Because this place is a hit with limited seating, once you get a table and complete your meal/payment you'll kindly be asked to leave so that they can clean up and open the table to next in line. Totally get that and am not put off by this at all, but I could see how it could catch some folks off guard especially if you are out for a meal with folks you may not see frequently-- so just keep that in mind. This is not the place to sit and talk post meal. * Parking is limited. Be prepared to walk a few blocks as the road parking in front of the business is pretty limited especially with the other stores and restaurants in the area. Regardless of those few bullets I highly recommend folks visit George & The Dragon. It's a really cool spot and the food was great! Plus theirs a malt shop right next door that looks yummy too, so definitely worth visiting and getting malts after for dessert.

I didn't have a reservation and i could sit at the bar, but the server seeing it was just me, took me in to the bar area where there were some single high chair tables.

I tried a local beer and then decided on a good old fashioned burger, but was able to subtitute my fries with mashed potatoes. Once the food was ordered it came out fairly quickly. Burger was awesome. I just didn't see condiments on the table, but I'm rather a plain jane for food, unless I had ordered the fries.

We lucked out to find a parking spot very close, and the restaurant wasn't even busy when we were there. I can only imagine parking is quite a challenge at busier times of day. We had a cozy booth. I had a view of the streetside windows and the dining room. Music was at a pleasant low volume in the background--we had no trouble talking and listening to each other. Our server, Lali, took good care of us. We were never left wanting and empty dishes were cleared promptly. Everything came out at an ideal pace, too. My husband had a beer from on tap. I was very happy that they had a couple kinds of cider, so I had one from Minneapolis Cider. We ordered poutine as our appetizer. It was fantastic, and a massive serving! My husband had the brisket philly for his entree; brisket is one of those meat cuts that is tricky to get right, as it easily gets too dry, but the cook absolutely perfected it. I had the smoked trout and greens bowl, which was no only delicious, but was also a feast for the eyes. I have never had trout prepared like this before, only salmon, and this dish was quite special. Just a wonderful place. I can see why it is so highly reviewed.

Our food came out super fast and hot, and my glass of House Cabernet for eight dollars was a generous poor and a nice wine. There's plenty of street parking in the blocks around this area, and there is a cute bookstore as well as a sustainable goods shop that you should definitely check out across the street. I would love to come back here again!

We agreed these were some of our favorites in the city, plug it was a huge portion for just two of us. Sweet and salty with a hit of acidity from the pickled onions. For dinner, I went with the steak and my husband went with the Cuban. He wouldn't stop raving about how delicious his sandwich was, and my steak was like butter with chimichurri and yuka fries on the side. My only notes would be that the fries & steak were very bland without the chimichurri and the portion was pretty small for the price.

The main thing is our food wasn't terribly hot upon arrival, but maybe sitting in the cool afternoon didn't help. Ambience: 1 star, primarily due to the 1970s Soft Rock Tribute Band playing at a thunderous volume near the bar. The din forced us outdoors into the cold. Perhaps others just loved the music; it simply wasn't to our taste. Lots of Nixon-era Hall & Oates and that ilk. The Freehouse is typically better than this, so perhaps Mother's Day isn't them at their best. We'll try them again down the road.
