Manager Stacy was very helpful, nice and accommodating (especially with time, date & the menu) Her staff was very friendly and on point with serving drinks. Atmosphere was clean, fun and upbeat. The place is spacious and had 2 pool tables, a few dart boards and quick draw. It was so much fun and our guests loved it. The Speakeasy downstairs was so beautiful and private. Food was delicious as well. Thank you Stacy and your team for this excellent experience!“

“As a musician who has played so many bars all over NY state I must say the environment at Tailgsters is so incredibly special. First, they treat the bands with love and respect. It should be the norm but sadly it’s not always the case. They go above and beyond. From the ownership to every single enologee that works there, it’s impossible not to absolutely love every person associated with this bar. The crowd is great and super friendly and safe and I genuinely look forward to playing there again. They treat their customers, staff; and performers like family. Really like family. I am so grateful that we’ve played there twice and I’m already looking to playing there again. Michelle behind the bar is a genuinely great person and makes awesome drinks, but every single person there is so approachable and engaging. I can recommend Tailgsters as a genuinely fun environment that treats everyone like family. I look forward to just visiting when I’m not playing. Impressed is a huge understatement. Thank you so much for treating our band the way you did. Truly an Awsome night and the staff and crowd at Tailgatets made our night extra special. Thank you for being genuine and amazing people. They’re doing it right!!! Beyond grateful for an awesome night!!! Thank you!!!!“

“Yes!, but I have been there a few times all have been great but this last time. The food was salty. I mean every dish. We spoke to manager who was extremely nice. Apologize and did the right thing. But I will go back for sure“
