This is such a fun place!! They book great bands on the weekends and their food is delicious. We were there this Saturday night to see The Characters band. We had a table of 12. The service was great, the food was perfect and came out hot and fresh!! We ordered the thin crust pizza, the Bambino, the cowboy wrap, which was delicious, and the chicken special. Everyone complimented the food and was very happy. The prices were on point for the amount of food we got. There was also plenty of parking. I would not hesitate to come again for lunch or dinner. I do hope they have The Characters back again to play!! They were fantastic and had everyone up dancing.

Would be zero stars. First off, place was FREEZING! Had to keep my jacket on the entire time. Service was mediocre at best. Menu was very limited. Don't go by the pictures on the website, those are old. Pricey as well. I got the pretzel and beer cheese appetizer $13. The pretzels were so salty they were inedible. The beer cheese was gritty and bland tasting. I got the Bambino sandwich as an entree $18. Got it without the roll, which was huge, others in my party ordered as well. The chicken cutlet was paper-thin and extremely dry. The breading was was burnt, nearly impossible to saw through. The mozzarella cheese, roasted red pepper and balsamic topping were bland. Needless to say disappointing all around. Will not go back and definitely would not recommend.

Had lunch with Family & friends. The waitress, Danielle, is the best - friendly, prompt, with a great personality. Lunch and dessert was delicious!! Can't wait to go back.

Stopped in Pinetar with the fam for dinner. My daughter is celiac and has dairy and soy related food alergies so we let the server know who let the kitchen and management who were on the ball. Drinks hit our table with the quickness and food soon followed. They 100% accomodated my daughters list of demands and the rest of dinner went off without a hitch. Food and drinks were on point. First time dining there and will absolutely be back.

been here a couple times over the past month. The new owners are doing an excellent job! Met both owners and they are very very nice people! Food is good. Drinks are amazing! Staff and patrons are very friendly! I go to drink is it old-fashioned. When they use the sweet dark cherries, it brings your drink to another level… This is what they do! Perfect for a restaurant or a bar atmosphere. they have live entertainment and even have an outdoor patio area.

I've only ever ordered takeout from pine tar until recently we had decided to dine in due to new ownership. Was curious to see what had changed if anything because we were already pretty keen on the food before. Heard people raving about the new management like it has changed everything so it seemed like a good time to try. The food and presentation was really good but it did take the server 25/30 minutes to take our order. Mind you we were the only ones seated in the building for food besides the 5 maybe 7 people at the bar. The waiter only had come over to us due to us standing up to flag him down. After that, an older blonde lady took over bringing out our food/handling us the rest of the night to which I will say, her service was a million times better. The restaurant section of the establishment definitely needs a change up, the painted neon green floors aren't doing any favors for the novelty of the place. Other than that, the pool table/games are nice accomodations for customers. I wouldn't say pine tar is much to rave about, but it definitely has potential for improvement. I think I will be sticking to ordering out every now and then

Early evening so not crowded at all . Excellent cheeseburgers served up by bartender Raymond. Decor is sporty as expected. Will dine there again.

We had an awesome experience. The wings are amazingly good ! Crispy! Even the owners came out to say hello. I'll be back for sure.

We stopped in on a Sunday to meet a few friends for beers.
$3 miller light drafts were cold and came quick. The draft beer also tasted good. Not like some other places that can have a funky taste.
We ordered a few apps. The $5 for 5 wings was my favorite. These are not small wings either. I ate one of the wings before taking the pic.
We didn’t plan on ordering a full meal but we will definitely be back.
The new owner, Rick, came by and introduced himself. Super nice guy. We wish him the best of luck in making this bar a highlight in the area.
