★★★★★ 5.0 Dan Rundquist · Sep 2025

Bluesy, boozy, and beautiful! The Inferno Tavern is another local gem with broad appeal for adults. Tonight (Saturday) they had a live blues band and they were by far and away the best such talent I’ve heard. The band fit right in and set the tone of this Tavern which has three distinct serving areas; a main dining room with bar, a more private dining room, and a billiard lounge. We had a reserved table in the red room (private dining). We were celebrating a birthday and the staff had thoughtfully decorated the table in advance with lighted “22” for us. A nice touch. The red room is one of those wonderful spaces that I could spend hours reading a book with a couple of Old Fashioneds…. The bar appeared to be well stocked and although their printed cocktail menu might look abbreviated, I’m

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Clint Friar · Jul 2025

I've been meaning to try this place, And got the chance. First this dislikes. We arrived at 645 to no host and we were served at 740. Not busy 2/3 full maybe less (We only ordered hamburgers and chicken tenders). Very slow. The spicy margaritas. It was extremely dry or bitter. The heat was perfect, just unpalatable. The good, the burger was good. Well cooked, bun was amazing. Fries are different, but crispy. Atmosphere was a Little on the dark side, creepy castle Vibe. Overall, I feel like the restaurant/tavern is struggling for a identity or path.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 STEVEN HOPKINS (BIG STEVE/HUNGRY BIKER) · Jan 2026

I'm not one to pull punches, and as much as I had high hopes for this place, I just waited 40 minutes for this puny, partially tough chicken sandwich with weak-looking burnt bacon and no Chipotle aioli that was supposed to be on it. And yes, I expressed my displeasure with my server/bartender and received nothing more than an apology and my bill. I could have gotten better food from Cookout for half the price in less than four minutes. Needless to say, this was a bad first impression, and I doubt there will be a second. Inferno Tavern

★★★★★ 5.0 David Ott · Mar 2026

I had a spectacular time here last night with a small group. The atmosphere and food were fantastic! We tried a number of appetizers, as well as a few sandwiches. Exceptionally seasoned and prepared, the food was an unexpected delight. The fries were absolutely crazy good: lightly seasoned, crisp on the outside, and fluffy potato on the inside. I will definitely be back!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dalyn Sigmon · Jul 2025

Such a cool place, it's such a warm atmosphere. The staff is so nice but service does take a little bit. We had to wait for our food a little longer than one would like but not long enough to be an issue. They frequently have live bands that are very talented. The food is so good and I would definitely go again! The pool tables cost $1 and the room has seating and a jukebox. The bourbon room was to DIE for. Very cozy and an amazing atmosphere to socialize and relax in. The patio area is very relaxing with couches, chairs, and various seating options. Overall, a very good experience and I would go back again!
