The Midtown Tavern has solid wings and beer with great specials. Â I really like their garlic parmesean and old bay wings. Their fries are a great cut; really crispy and thin shoestring style.
I recommend going on 50 cent wing nights, ordering 2 flavors/ten wings and trying a friend's as well to see what you like! Split a basket of fries and get the beers on special to end up full without dropping too much cash! (They do charge extra for blue cheese/celery on wing nights just fyi!)
The only reason I wouldn't give this place 5 stars is the service. They could step up their game a bit with the waitstaff.
Finally tried Midtown Tavern after hearing about it for a while... On Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday they have a 50 cent wing special.
The wings were pretty good with a variety of sauces to choose from. I had the hot garlic (pretty good) and the hot (also good). They let you split the order, so you can get 5 of one sauce and 5 of the other. Small selection of draft beer, but with good options (I had Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on draft) and solid nightly specials on beer and food. It was bigger inside than I thought it would be and they had a couple of pool tables. They're open late pretty much every night. I'll be back to try some more sauces.
Update: Went back for more 50 cent wings... Had the Suicide wings- delicious! Excellent hot sauce, spicy but with great flavor. I started with 5 of that and 5 of Spicy BBQ (decent, but kind of thick sauce.) Ended up ordering more Suicide!
Also want to give a shout out to the fries- they are awesome. Very skinny and crispy, one of my favorites in Harrisburg.
