My first time. While the decor was standard Irish pub bar-sign-style, the food was elevated. I had a delicious, healthy, seared tuna Cobb Salad and a great cocktail. The staffers never left us wanting and were attentive and personable. Can't wait to go back!

First, I am writing this from the perspective of a 70-year-old woman. My days of hanging out in a loud, crowded bar are long over. That is essentially what Tavern 23 is. We went for $.50 wing night, and so did everyone else in Poughkeepsie. We ended up sharing a communal table with a group of very nice guys, but it was still loud and there were chicken bones and empty beer bottles spread all over the table. Which brings me to my second point, the server should find another job because she is not good at her chosen profession. She never came by once to clear away the used dishes from our buddies. Not once. After she ignored us for 20 or so minutes, our table mates flagged her down so we could place our order. She brought our beer pretty promptly, but we waited an extraordinarily long time for our order. I am not exaggerating when I say we were there for over an hour waiting for our wings and fries. A couple of guys came in 30-45 minutes after us, sat at our table, were served and were almost done with their food and we still had not received our order (for some reason, they had a different server). We asked one employee dashing by to check on our order. She informed us she wasn’t a waitress (her word, not mine), but no matter because we never saw her again either. The owner stopped by our table to chat with our new bar friends, and my husband explained our situation. He immediately looked into why the heck our order was taking so long. Someone dropped off our food within five minutes. The owner comped our meal, which was very nice and appreciated. However, we never got napkins, utensils, wet wipes for our hands, water refills or an empty bowl for chicken wings. I can be pretty forgiving and if our server had displayed some regret for her bad service, I might have understood. Instead, as we were eating, she breezed by with a snarky comment saying we should “blame the kitchen, not her” and “we got our meal comped, so stop complaining.” Actually, we weren’t complaining because we became invisible again after our food came and we never saw nor spoke to her or any other employee (and, of course, no one ever came back to check on us). The chicken wings, btw, were very good, but the whole experience was very unpleasant and left a bad taste.

The food at Tavern 23 is tasty, fresh, and full of flavor. I got the steak salad and wings both were delicious. The staff is genuinely friendly and accommodating, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
A special shout-out to Jessi... she’s absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel like a regular. If great service and delicious food are what you’re after, this is the place to be

Do not judge a book by it's cover. Fantastic wings! Please try the garlic buffalo wings. They are fantastic. Cassie was one of the best waitresses we've had in a while. And she dealt with 7 kids (5 of them under 5 years old).

Very good Rueben. Pepperoni pizza was very tasty. Small place with low ceilings made for a very loud lunch with drunk, cackling people at 1:30pm on a Sunday. Not a family place all. Would not return.

Great atmosphere, very cozy and family friendly. Upon arrival I was greeted by Jess and the girls they made me feel so welcomed, I felt that fit right in. Nice and clean, staff were very professional and helpful. Thank you Jess for making me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place for a quick bite and a drink. Plenty of parking and outdoor dining. I recommend the Lobster roll and the Paloma cocktail.
