We’re a small room, and we’re doing our very best to welcome as many of you as we can. Because of that, guests often begin lining up around 4:15pm as we open at 4:30pm for walk-in bar dining and serve our last seating for food at 10:00pm. The bar fills quickly in the early evening as part of dinner service. Your entire party must be present to be seated for walk-ins.

If you’re stopping by just for a drink, the rhythm changes later. After about 9pm, it’s usually much easier to come in, find a seat, and settle in for cocktails and beyond. Our bar is open until 11pm Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and 11:30pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.


We appreciate your patience and kindness as our team works to take care of everyone. Reservations are currently available exclusively through OpenTable. Cancellations do happen, so we recommend checking back often or setting an alert.

We can't wait to see you at the Tavern.
