The Tavern

"The Tavern has a rich history that you can read all about on the internet or probably in a book somewhere, but it’s best represented by the “Air Conditioning” sign that’s been proudly on display since the 1930s when cold air in the summer months was still a novelty. The Tavern has been many things over the years, though these days it’s home to some excellent bar food. The signature white wings are exactly what we want out of a pub snack, and they pair especially well with a cold beer and whatever game is on the TVs." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs

"Though this historic Downtown bar is home to fans of the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Arsenal and FC Barcelona soccer teams, bargoers can watch any sports game on one of the 46 televisions.

"AUSTIN The Tavern in Austin has been around for over a century, and in that time it’s functioned as a grocery store, a casino, a brothel, and, of course, a pub. It’s said to be haunted by a ghost named Emily who likes to tap, pinch, or otherwise prank guests upstairs. They also have a burger called the Cheese Blanket that sort of feels like its own haunted prank. " - anne cruz

"There’s a good chance you’re already familiar with the wings at the Tavern. Their signature “white wings” are of the boneless variety—bacon-wrapped and jalapeño-stuffed—but this isn’t a boneless wing guide (so we can only say unofficially that these should be part of your order as well). Fortunately, their classic wings are just as good—juicy on the inside with a crispy, almost-charred exterior tossed in everything from lemon pepper to ghost pepper. They’ve also got over 30 TVs inside, making this a great spot to come and watch some sports to accompany your wings. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"The downtown sports bar is the place to go for all Olympics soccer games, especially with its bacon-wrapped, jalapeno-stuffed chicken wings with ranch or blue cheese dressing at hand. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
