Tavern

"Tavern used to be the place for snacks and drinks in Midtown before it closed in 2022. It’s back open, and still a remarkably solid place for (you guessed it) snacks and drinks in Midtown. The buffalo cauliflower with blue cheese mousse returns with the sauce now conveniently on the side so your bite stays crispy, but the OG kale salad with its zippy and memorable Parmesan-lemon dressing remains blessedly unchanged. They also have a menu of creative spritzes, like the Esperanza with blanco tequila and a rosè prosecco, and the most comfortable bar stools our backs and butts have ever graced." - ann walczak, jackie gutierrez jones 2, adam sloan, carlo mantuano, carlo mantuano, adam sloan, ann walczak, ann walczak, ann walczak, jackie gutierrez jones 2, jackie gutierrez jones 2, jackie gutierrez jones 2, jackie gutierrez jones 2, jackie gutierrez

"Many were devastated to learn that M Street’s Tavern would close its doors in 2022, but thankfully, it made clear its plans to reopen in the future with an updated space. That promise was kept and the restaurant is back, and even better now, too, with a refreshed menu and interior design. Menu standouts include dishes like a tangy Thai noodle bowl, Wagyu fried rice, and pizzas ranging from a classic margherita to Nashville hot chicken. And yes, brunch service has returned, too (though may its 2-4-1 cocktails rest in peace)." - Kellie Walton, Eater Staff

"Tavern, Midtown’s mainstay for weekend brunch and bachelorette parties, has been closed by M Street Entertainment Group after 15 years." - Clair Lorell

"The popular brunch spot obviously touts a better-than-average bloody mary. Tavern’s cucumber mary starts with house-infused cucumber Finlandia vodka and the spicy bloody mary mix packs some heat." - Delia Jo Ramsey
