Our favorite bar. However the red head lady with the curly hair has a serious attitude problem. Throwing menus on the table, rolling her eyes at us, went up to the bar to my boyfriend and rolled her eyes at him. I understand life can be difficult, but it costs $0 to be nice.

Had a great time when I went. Atmosphere is a blast from the past. Food was amazing as well. Service, could use some improvement. Maybe because they were a bit busy but they seemed to case less about what I wanted.

There is nothing Gen X about the Gen X Tavern. It’s a bad version of a gimmick bar. There’s some old arcade games and skee-ball, but I wouldn’t consider those the defining cornerstone of my generation.

We stopped in on a Saturday night. There were customers but not overly busy. It was far too loud with current music (not 80s/90s) to hold a conversation. The bartender seemed very annoyed when I requested a menu from her (I had waited a few minutes without any acknowledgement). Not busy enough for that wait and the attitude was just unnecessary. That was enough to leave.

I hope younger patrons do not believe that this is representative of a bar from the 80s-2000s. We may be older now but not that lame. We ended up at Anchor Bar around the corner, had a great time and service and spent a couple hundred dollars on food and drink.

The moral of the story here is that if you’re going to have a gimmick bar, then at least take care of the people it will appeal to.

Tonight was so fun! I have been to GenX a few times before but tonight was very busy! The staff was killing it. We had so much fun with the DJ. We had a party of 15 and we came in at 515 and spoke to Megan and Dean and even though there were many other reservations they made our party a priority. They made sure to take care of us even though they were bartending and running around with a bus tub cleaning tables. This place was so fun and so many other customers were in wigs or outfits of the GenX era. We loved the atmosphere and are so glad we had our birthday party at GenX. Please tell Megan and Dean thank you for taking such good care of us all night and the DJ was giving us life! Thanks GenX! Here's to another year around the sun. 🌞
