Tower Tavern

After years of hanging out at Tower Tavern (and previously Cafe Trocadero), I finally get around the writing a review about it. I'm ready to designate TT with "home bar" status as my go to watering hole for good times with friends any night or day of the week.

I end up here quite a bit for weekday lunches with co-workers when I can get away. The food is top notch and MUCH better than your traditional bar fare. Try the pizza special, any of the sandwiches, or the appetizers for a perfect lunch nosh. Happy hour brings with it great prices on apps and drinks, and the kitchen is open late for late night carbicide.

The staff and servers are always attentive, friendly, and on top of your orders. My only complaint would be TT being short-staffed at times when the bar and lunch crowd gets busy. Though sometimes a little slow, the servers always retain a smile and positive attitude.  

Love this place and everything that goes with it. I'm stingy with 5 star reviews, but TT definitely hits the mark.

Tower Tavern your service is consistently bad. The reason you get two stars is solely for your food. It is always spot on! My friends frequent this place and I still have no idea why.

This time your server was terrible. I have no idea what her name is and don't care to ever know her name.. She was pretty non existent during our stay and when she did come over and we would order drinks she would walk away in the middle and not we would have to call her back or wait for her to come back for the rest of our party to order. What..the..hell.. had you maybe asked if anyone else wanted a drink or waited for the rest of the table to order then you wouldn't have to make several trips..

A few friends were sick of waiting for her to come to the table so they ordered drinks at the bar. As one of my friends was walking to the bar to order something she let the waitress know she had a tab at the bar.. the waitress walked over to our table, grabbed some trash off and made a comment "i'm just your server but whatever". Could you have made that comment to yourself.. Definitely turned our table off to ordering from her. The other person who started a tab at the bar was going to transfer his tab to the waitress.. Not anymore, at least the bartender was pleasant.

As I said, go for some quick food. Don't go if you think you will get good or even remotely quick service..

Very average. Middle of the road beer selection, reasonable prices. Hit or miss with the servers, some are terrible some are ok.....

Bottom Line: I'd go somewhere else if I had the choice.
