Atwater Village Tavern

My boyfriend and I live in the neighborhood and we love supporting local businesses. When we saw the Atwater Village Tavern was opening up, we thought, "Perfect! The neighborhood needs a great new bar!" I haven't even been here yet and my experience has already been horrible.

We have walked to the Tavern 4 different occasions, because YELP and their voicemail said they were open for business. All 4 times, it has been closed. If you are not open when you say you are, please change your hours accordingly. It doesn't set a precedence of consistency or care for your neighborhood. We want to support you, but so far, you have only given us a reason to go elsewhere.

Awesome bar. Great beer selection, really great variety. My boy likes brown ales and I like fruity beers and we both found beers that we LOVE, big plus. The atmosphere hits the perfect balance of laid back but still a nice looking place. I'm not a dive lover or for the fancy places. I also love that there are a variety of seating options (1) in the front, semi-outside nice for fresh air (2) inside at the bar or across from the bar with good views of the TV (3) towards the back where its a little quieter and they have a chalk board wall. Good service too. For food, we just had the avocado fries, which were deep-fried pieces of avocado, which I don't think worked so well, but I'll try something else next time. Its also in a good location. Its on a cute street that's nice to walk around with other cafes/restaurants. Parking is easy. I love that this place isn't trying to hard. All in all I would definitely go back for the beer and good atmosphere.

Love this place and love that Atwater has a new bar and one that serves food!  Great atmosphere and good brews.
