  I always get great service here.
  
  It's come a long way since the ownership changed.  They're adding lots of fun events and developing the second bar area constantly- it's really coming together and looks amazing.  The cocktail menu is pretty good, with new drinks rotating in.  I love the creativity.
  
  I usually just come for the drinks but with the addition of Darling Nikki's BBQ, I'll probably be there more often than my bank account will want to admit. The jackfruit nachos we had were seriously amazing. Smoky and sweet, and perfect paired with the pickled radishes and jalapeños. A lot of flavor in those bites!  The Mac and cheese is delicious too, especially with the Mac sauce they use. The ice cream sandwich I had with the smoked oatmeal cookies was unlike any other dessert I've had- heaven! Took home a pound of BBQ!

  Drink review only... came here with our run group on a Monday night. We dominated the outside seating and yet didn't overwhelm the staff. Food service for the group was a bit slow, but they kept up with drinks and pitchers of water.
  
  Prices were reasonable and while selection on the beer side wasn't extensive, it gets the job done.
  
  Overall, really glad to see this place reopen and will be back when I don't have a pile of leftovers from the weekend to give their food a shot.

  Went here on June 21st for lunch and the experience was just ok. There were literally 5 items on the menu and none of the items was a salad. A little disappointed in that. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and the first one was undercooked. Thank god I decided to cut my sandwich in half before eating. When I told the waiter/bartender he didn't feel that I was correct. First off the customer is always right. Secondly, when I showed him how the chicken looked, he proceeded to take the sandwich back to the cook and I received another within 15-20 mins. The second sandwich was just ok, tasteless and filled with oil. I guess they don't know how to pat dry a fried chicken after it comes from a deep fryer. Honestly, I would probably never go back to this tavern.... just my opinion.

  I live in walking distance to this place and used to visit the old Tavern on Ridge all the time. I recently went back for the first time since it has been under new ownership and I can say that I've never felt so welcome to a local neighborhood bar! The owner is from the area and is open to all suggestions/feedback you have regarding the menu/bar. He stopped by our table and was super friendly and spoke to us for about 15 minutes. The menu is very different than your typical Roxborough/Manayunk bars and they have great cocktails and a decent beer selection. We had the hummus/baba ganoush app, samosas, and chicken bites. The food was excellent and can't wait to be back to try more!

  Have to hand it to these guys - they partnered with Darling Nikki's BBQ to have her offer the food and they still offer the great space and drinks including a good selection of craft beers.  Nikki's BBQ is really delicious - brisket is spot on - had it on the nachos, and the smoked queso is very good as well.  Portion sizes are good but not insane. Others in our party had the sliders both pork and brisket, the smoked mac and cheese which was heavenly, and we all tasted the jack fruit and vegan queso.  We all had our favorites, but liked everything.  I love that they will be offering some type of BBQ for everyone, vegans included.  Full menu is coming 8/25/19. We will be back. Support these local Roxborough businesses - they live and work here with us!
