Waterman's Tavern

Awesome burgers.  Best Friday night out for a nice atmosphere and great food.  Oh, and they pour a nice drink!!!!

I love this place.  You might not think twice about trying it, but the food is good, and the best part is that it is CONSISTENTLY good.  I've been going here for lunch on Fridays for a couple of years and it never disappoints.  The service is welcoming - Mike is the bestest, go for lunch on Fridays and he's there.  I love that they always have a few very good craft beers on tap that rotate frequently (and Mike is super knowledgeable on the beer) and there's a mug club for good pricing on said craft beers. Since they are affiliated with the liquor store next door which has a great beer selection they have a great bottled beer list in the restaurant too. They have internet trivia and board games, so it's a nice place to sit around and enjoy a beer or several while hanging out with friends.  If you save your lunch receipt you can get a discount in the liquor store!  At happy hour it tends to get busy and loud, but they have $3 food specials which is pretty sweet.  If you've been intimidated to try this place, go at lunchtime to try their delicious food in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

the wascally wabbit is whispering this most wecent update --- cus Waterman's is weally wunnerful; and is a very small place and probably can't stand too much popularity,  

As you can see from my check-ins, I have been frequenting the place.  It has a nice friendly atmosphere, the clientele is nothing snooty, no pretenses, no Rolexes or  Coach bags   -- this is Edgewater after-all!  

As a neighborhood bar it ranks with the best. As for the food... it's in another class altogether. Everything that I have ordered ihas been well prepared, fresh and delicious.  Just a tip: the ceasar salad as a side dish for a sandwich is really top notch. (ask for it in lieu of fries)  Burgers & Fish sandwiches are my favorites... oh and the BBQ pork sliders are great.

Try it-- you will like it.  Just check any big city, upscale attitude you may have at the door!
