My kind of watering hole.

I want to thank Jay Jay for his review. I hope Jay and his girl made a quick exit because you know they degraded your food and drinks. Also, please ignore the one star.

Food is good. Don't get the owner of the restaurant as your server. He was very impatient and rude and my partner had to pay double of what we actually ordered. We tipped regardless. Wouldn't recommend.

It's an old fashioned neighborhood sports bar. I was pleased that after asking several times, they are adding some vegan food. During this last visit, they had a delicious lentil and fennel soup!

Love this place - cozy neighborhood sports bar atmosphere with truly excellent food, a great rotating beer menu, and very reasonable prices. There are often games or music on, but never so loud that you can't have a conversation. All of the food we've tried has been delicious! Never once had a bad dish or experience! We stopped in on a whim for lunch and quickly became regulars after tasting the burgers, rustic potato salad, and brussel sprouts. There are different daily food specials and a surprising list of high-end options (e.g. Wagyu beef burgers, lamb dip, Mediterranean mushroom sandwich) for such a casual setting. The staff is great, the chef is on point, the beers are frosty, and the meatloaf dinner on Thursday is worth a special visit. If you're looking for a relaxed place to have a great meal, a cold drink, and a conversation, I can't recommend the Old School Tavern enough.

Kid-friendliness: Seen many families there with babies and kids

Wheelchair accessibility: There are regular customers who are wheelchair users, there is a back entrance with easy access and the staff is very helpful

Food was good. We had a bacon cheeseburger and a pot roast sandwich. The bacon was fried to ashes, so not good. The fries were a little off as well, maybe they sat too long partially fried. Just not the right texture and flavor somehow. Bartender Mike was our server, and he was very attentive and friendly. Nice local bar vibe.
