“Loved this place there's pool table inside if you're inclined to play and the bar is large so you don't feel crowded bathroom very clean a luxury in most bars. Had a little 3 piece band outside patio which was perfect the weather was awesome that night and the band sounded as if they had more than 3 very good music to dance and listen to. Friendly staff & regular customers I assume had fun and had nice conversation with several people I didn't know but we're interesting to have a conversation with“

Great stop before you decide what to do with your life. Tattoo shop next door and I believe I'll get some ink, the TV show dead to me. Was a great show so I think that would be appropriate for my first ink.
The devil is in the Yogi as the carma Drs say. Life will tell. I believe in the Indians saying that ,he who fears death, cannot know life. Been me for 72 years,let's see how it goes....“

“We have been to Papa Boos many times, either just the 2 of us or with friends. We always enjoy the food, drinks, atmosphere, live music and friendly staff. Today, our server was Zoey, and she was SO friendly, attentive and had great drink recommendations based on my likes and dislikes! I presumed she was a seasoned server at Papa Boos, and was surprised that this was her first year at PB! As always, my husband and I had a wonderful afternoon at PB, and will most certainly return very soon! Cheers!!“

“My husband and I love sitting at the bar in The Tavern. Unfortunately, it has been a different atmosphere the last few times. The new bartender is unfriendly and seems to be annoyed by customers. A bartender can make or break an experience. They are the center and set the tone for everyone, even the servers. Since we were there for dinner and drinks, we chose to leave the bar and move to patio. Cacelia was our server and was fantastic. Her sweet smile and friendly attitude is EXACTLY what The Tavern needs. We’ve spoken to many patrons who echo our concern.“
