This place has been closed for months. If you go to the website, you'll see the hours as follows:
Sunday: Closed
Monday: Closed
Tuesday: Closed
Wednesday: Closed
Thursday: Closed
Friday: Closed
Saturday : Closed
They do not do catering or togo orders. Not sure why the owner can't be up front about the fact the Tavern is closed with no planned reopening date. Not sure why Google can't get this correct. All Google has to do is look at the Tavern's website.

Do not waste your money!!!!!! If you have children go somewhere else… even if you do and they are older don’t support a business that doesn’t support children

Too Bad the Boathouse closed... It was the last time this place was any good... now even when there is no wind, this place Blows!Went there last Saturday place has changed with new owner,the good:still located on the lake / somewhat dog friendly / more shade over the outside deck / Alaskan Amber on tap.the Not so good:Place is a more "stuffy"/ lacking in personality especially the bar tender who takes his time serving you, but is very good... at ignoring you, talking to customers does not seem to be on his to-do list.No domestic beer. all drinks $7** or more + Tax.The day I went there were only a few people there and there was a strange vibe.. like the place was waiting to turn into an LGBTQ bar. there was one "couple" on the patio all by themselves one with a pair of lips that could have belonged to a wide mouth bass, sex unknown. The entertainment that showed up later in the day was an old guy on the piano, On a SATURDAY Wow that's entertainment?O well things change, sometimes not for the better.PS; pool table is gone, but hey there is new wall treatment inside LOL.

The tri tip tid bits app is fantastic. My husband said it may be some of the best tri tip he’s ever had (and he’s tried many).Good place for a snack and drinks but not a meal; limited food menu.

The best Tri-Tip beef I've ever tried. It strongly reminded me of “Shashlik, “which I've been craving for a while. My Bloody Mary was absolutely delicious, and the service and atmosphere were amazing. I'm eagerly anticipating my next visit.

The food was fairly expensive and had some unusual food missing on the bar menu, like burgers. However the service was good and the place was lively.

I usually go here for a couple drinks around sunset when the skies are right. Can't say much about the food as I usually just have a couple drinks but the staff is always cool. Cheers.
