The Tavern, a cozy underground hideaway serving fresh American bar fare. The subterranean dining room is housed in the historic Tavern on Camac, a long-running piano bar and nightclub serving exceptional food to pre/post theater goers, and a solid crowd of the city’s “in the biz” hospitality professionals long after most establishments have closed their doors for the night. The Tavern boasts an approachable menu of refined bar food staples, all available from open until close, even after the bar has given last call. The Tavern makes for a great first or last stop for diners and revelers alike. Built in 1937, it is one of the nation’s oldest music venues and a natural home for The Tavern’s lived-in vibe and casual appeal. Exposed brick and wide, dark pine paneling make the space feel comfortable yet tucked away on picturesque Camac Street.

    This tavern far exceeded my expectations not only because the food was delicious, but the ambiance, decor and cleanliness was superb. Our server, Jess, was probably bar none the best server I’ve ever had. Thank you for being my new favorite restaurant!

    Not very crowded and we dined at 7:15. Brick oven pizza is a plus. There are lots of appetizers or so it seemed but we were there for a meal. I have not been there since last spring probably but the real food menu has not changed much. I think you would get a bigger crowd with more main menu food choices. It is a pub but stretch the food choices beyond wraps, pizza and burgers. A vegetable besides fries would be a plus. I do like this place and would like to see it stay in Malvern but remember you have the Pig and Anthony’s to contend with oh and then Casey’s redo which I am not sure has opened yet. Food, service, and atmosphere all pluses this evening.

    Amazing experience! The decor is on theme with everything we love about Harry Potter, and the Christmas decorations were magical! Food was off the charts (try the Brussel Sprouts)!
