This was one of the Saturday stops on our bar hop evening. No food. Â Good views from outside area. Parking was easy and we were able to walk and tour the water side bars and take a few pictures. Â Inside its tropical themed menu with plenty of quick bar styled foods. with plenty of big screen TVs to catch the games. Â Our group stopped in for mixers and beer.
Staff were inviting and the bartenders were fairly quick.
Decent food, I've had it all. decent drinks, I've drank em all. This is a good local joint with an attractive female staff and plenty of TVs. Me and my pals enjoy sitting and watching the games, sitting right on the bay. BBQ sauce too sweet. Did i mention the waitresses are phenomenal?
Review Source:We were staying at La Quinta up the street and decided to walk here for drinks and dinner. Â I must say, the BEST Mojito I've ever had in my life. Â I sucked it back so quickly I was embarrassed, but ordered another one anyway.
We had the the Tavern BBQ Potato Chips and we're still dreaming about them. Â We were so full that we ordered our dinner to go, my husband had the Elvis Burger and I had a Philly Cheesesteak, which I didn't end up eating until the next day.
My in-laws are coming next month and we are definitely going back to this place for dinner!
Unreal happy hour value tonight! I will be back tomrrow.
The hh menu is available from 3 - 7 and features .45 cent wings, $2 pulled pork sliders, Tavern potato chips, chips & salsa and chicken chili nachos that will easily feed two.
Feeling hungry, I went for the nachos. The beauty behind the bar dared me to try and polish them off solo. Didn't happen. They are beautifully presented with mounds of chips, homemade pico, guac, chili and garnished with pickled jalapenos, sour cream and drizzled with a creamy jalapeno sauce. The flavors are as amazing as how the plate looks.
Two pints and the huge nachos (which half came home) was a mere $11. A helluva deal to chill out for an hour in one of Naples' most relaxing bars. The view is great inside and out, too.
This is a nice bar, it is upscale not a dive bar. Â I went there because I am a biker and I have heard that bikers frequent this place. Â It is not quite a regular biker bar. Â It is in a nice area, parking is kind of tight on the streets.
Food is good but pricey 14 bucks for a burger; However, the portions are massive, I was riding with 2 other bikers and I was the only one that finished his portions. Â Beer is cold and they have a great variety of them, but is not cheap either. Â Waitresses are fun, friendly and pretty.
Not the average biker bar, but I am not the average biker either.:-)
prices are good, food is good overall but potential to be great but misses the mark on Sunday. totally get that its a mad house on sundays but the disorganization and lack of service can be frustrating. ive been with groups a handful of times and we left a few times at half time due to service and cold food.
Also, the set up for the games are sub par, needs bigger tvs and better projection for the big tv, its 2012, get an HD one. Having high table tops near the general seating obstructs the view of a few games for those seated on low tables.
Good for non-sundays, too much chaos and disorganization...
Love the location right next to the waterway. Â The food was really decent for a sportsbar. Â The cheeseburger I had was massive. Â The wife's pork quesadillas were greasy and yes, the portion was massive as well.
I'm in the area quite a bit to go boating, and it always has a lively crowd on Sundays for football. Â If I only didn't have 3 kids in tow, then I'd be right up there with them....
Sure, I could write a review about how the "Holy Cow!" burger, named in honor of the late Yankee great Phil Rizutto, is easily among the top 5 burgers I've had in my life, not to mention the most photogenic. And I could wax poetic about the Jack cheese, sauteed 'shrooms and onions, and artisan bun smothered in horseradish sauce.
And I could talk for hours about the fresh-cut skinny fries, or the Cobb salad that was so big it made me blush.
And I could get all verklempt about the 'Buy 1 burger, get one free' deal on Tuesdays.
But I'm not going to. This is more of an anecdote than a review.
We were vacationing in the area during this week in mid-August, and dropped in for dinner. Dinner and a party, in fact. We walked in and were ushered past some 30 or 40 friends and staffers of a local politician running for some county office. They had platters upon platters of wings, hors d'oevres, pizza, booze, and it was obvious they felt good about their candidate's chances.
Every table had a poster that read: "Elect Kevin J. Lilly for Collier County Property Appraiser!" (Who knew property appraisers were elected???) It was just like in the movies: a lot of nervous-looking, over-worked staffers pacing and glued to their phones, plus a good number of friends, family and hangers-on just happy to be there. Did I mention the booze flowed freely?
They even had a media dept. In between bites of his quesadilla, one guy was editing footage for a campaign TV ad on his laptop. I need that gig! After about 15 minutes, the early numbers started appearing on the half dozen big screens around the restaurant. When the first precincts reported Lilly had 100% of the vote the place erupted. They started jumping, hugging, hootin' and hollerin' like they'd won the lottery. Everybody in that restaurant got caught up in the moment. No one at our table had ever heard of Mr. Lily, but even we started cheering.
Later, when Lilly himself went around thanking his supporters I was actually disappointed he didn't stop by our table. Never forget your constituency, Lilly!!
Sadly, I found out later those early numbers were off, way off. Lilly's opponent won with 56% of the vote. It's a brutal game politics, but perhaps Mr. Lilly can find some solace in the fact that thanks to T.O.T.B. he, his supporters, and all of us certainly had a much better meal on election night than his opponent.
Tavern on the Bay joins restaurants, hotels,and bars all over town in competition for the elusive, summer season patron. Â
I joined a group here forTavern's happy hour featuring $4 well drinks, Â A few at the long table ordered wings or pulled pork sliders, and were reportedly satisfied with their decidedly Pub Food choices. Â
Tavern is a sports pub with a nautical flair, so there are TVs everywhere, mounted high so that even the high top table seats have clear views of a screen. Â Near the door that opens to Gordon bay, there are souvenir t-shirts worn in the Tavern's annual entries in the Naples Canoe Race at nearby Naples Pier. The Canoe "race" is more pub frat show with funny costumes and crazy boat regalia, and more observers than racers.
In summer, the Tavern continues with sponsoring outside event entertainment. Â For example, in July 2012 it partners with Naples Princess harbor cruises for a sunset "booze cruise" followed by a free drink and dinner at the Tavern for only $35 all inclusive.
Just came in here for a few beers. Â The Marina setting with a beach-shack type feeling was very nice. Â Flat screen TV above the bar, ice cold beer, very friendly bartender with a good deal of tatts - still very nice. Â The price of the draft beer was a fair $3 and the company at the bar (locals) were also friendly. Â I'd definitely come back and try some of their food next time.
Review Source:We came here just for HH. They had $2 domestic drafts & $4 well drinks. I ordered the tavern tea ($3), seawater cocktail and whatever the cherry one was. All were extremely horrible; either watered down or just plain bad. The wings were not up to the standards of my bf (he is from buffalo & is a wing snob). I thought the honey bourbon was better than the teriyaki. I should probably end on a good note: 1) our waitress 2) the sweet potato fries. Stick to the beer folks!
Review Source:we were looking for a place to watch the olympics hockey gold medal game and stumbled upon this place
although i like how airy this place feels and how many tvs they have
i wouldn't go back unless i am just grabbing drinks
the chicken wings we shared for appetizers were ok (a bit too sweet for our taste but they were meaty)
the grouper sandwich i had was completely inedible
the fish tasted of strong ammonia! i eat out a lot and so to get a piece of fish of this bad quality just stunned me
service was friendly but that fish just ruined it for me
darn it! its florida, can't you guys get some fresh grouper?!
