The Firkin Tavern

Local college dive bar, but great regardless.

Come to watch a game, or play one yourself (darts, shuffleboard, etc).

Food it legit for a sports bar.

for what it is...a local joint...the food is fresh and delicious!  had beef bourguignon special tonite and it was amazingly good!  the beef was tender and the gravy fabulous!  pearl onions, carrots, and potatoes, too, over thick toast. husband had shepherds pie and loved it!  beer was delicious!

A fine place for post-work drinks and dinner. Not especially cheap but not a rip off. Good beer list, but not enormous. Service is usually very good. The interior is kind of depressing and the lighting sucks but that all just really keeps your table focused on each other, and not distracted by the sights and sounds.

They have added several new menu items recently. The new fish tacos were OK but just like the establishment overall, they could easily be so much better. First of all, swap out the undressed lettuce and tomato (blah--wrong) for shredded white cabbage dressed with cumin-lime sour cream. Second of all, for the love of beer, do something to the flour tortilla, don't serve it raw. How about 30 seconds on a dry griddle? Let's go, Firkin Kitch-in! Step it up a bit!
