Empress Tavern offers a great atmosphere and friendly staff, making it a popular spot for a chill evening out. The bar serves up tasty cocktails and small bites like fried chicken, mac and cheese, and empanadas. The food can be a bit hit-or-miss, with some dishes being oversalted or dry, but others are crispy, juicy, and flavorful. The decor features brickwork, wallpaper, and cool lighting, adding to its charm. The menus are fun and formatted like scripts, offering creative options such as the "No Redneck is this Creative" cocktail with Terroir gin, hibiscus infused white vermouth, and benedictine. Visitors often enjoy the Wolfman Burger ($18), which comes with fries and is simple yet super flavorful with two smashed patties, cheese, lettuce, pickles, and special sauce. The service is attentive and friendly, with the staff doing their best during busy times, although the place can get loud and crowded before showings. The hours can be limited, but the restaurant often opens specifically for events, making it a lively spot especially when attending shows at nearby venues. Despite some minor issues, Empress Tavern remains a favorite for many who want good drinks, tasty bites, and a fun atmosphere.
