The Edgewood Tavern

I haven't been to the Tavern in a while.  However I just recently met a friend there for an afternoon drink and it was still the same place.  It wasn't as packed as it is at night but it was still the same friendly atmosphere, very clean and quick service.  They still remembered me and treated me like a regular.  One downside is the beer prices have gone up slightly.

I have to admit, I expected this place to be terrible.

Thankfully, I'm happy to report that's not the case.

While the Edgewood won't be winning any awards for originality, it does get points for getting the important parts of a watering hole right.

The pool tables were well-lit and in good condition. The bar had a great selection on tap and a full liquor selection.

My roommate and I only had beers so we didn't get to test the bartenders hand at mixing but he seemed solid enough.

This bar is smoky and I"m sure it can get packed during the busy nights, but if you're just looking for a chill place to hang your hat; the Edgewood is good for that.

Is there a way to give this place a zero star rating? I would if I could. It is full of over testosteroned high school heroes who can't let go of the past and feel that they still have something to prove.  I feel all but two times I have gone here has a fight not broken out. I was the center of one had was started by the bounced. The staff is rude and lazy. A bartender once saw me at the bar and ignored me to text on her phone for five minutes! When I did not tip her what she felt she deserved I was promptly THROWN out of the bar while my friend was punched by the bouncer. The place is terrible just terrible and only go if you have no other choices, at that point just stay home.
