The Tipp Tavern

Great service and vibes with a rotation of friendly and personable bartenders. However, the vibes were so good that after 3 moderately priced draft beers and a few impulsive thoughts, I used their speedy WiFi to book myself a trip to go and hike to Mount Everest’s Basecamp on an 18 day long route. Now, the bar staff, rather than interject after seeing me typing away with a huge grin as I nursed my third beer, gave me a cheers and a high five. Had there been some crazy patrons, a barfight, or even just some local drama or general riff-raff, I may have gotten distracted. Unfortunately, none of those things happened on a chill Friday night. As more tunes came from the juke box and the glow of multiple flat screens kept my bar seat a place of good vibes and confidence - I proceeded to then

Classic Irish pub with tasty comforting food. While was waiting for the table we played some darts. Kids friendly. Amazing and friendly stuff. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive.

I called before 9pm. I asked if the establishment was family friendly because I needed to get food for two children. I was told there is a bouncer at 9pm and children were not allowed. I asked if I could order the food for take out. They said yes so I placed an order. Upon arriving I noticed a table with at least 4 children happily enjoying their food. It was disappointing at best. Then to add to the disappointment the food looked unappetizing. The cheese wedges looked double fried but wasn’t melted. The fries also looked like they were refried. Let’s also add the fact that not one condiment was added to the bags. No napkins. No plasticware. Nothing.

Love the atmosphere, the service and the location. Quaint, local tavern where everyone was friendly. A great spot to hang out with friends, play pool or darts and family friendly too. The food, though, was less than stellar. The butternut squash soup was way too sweet, almost like they took candied yams and mashed them up. And also a watery texture. The shepherds pie had decent flavor but that was also watery and lacked the substance that I expect with a shepherds pie. I would come back for drinks and to hang, but maybe eat somewhere else first.

NOT RECOMMENDED - Charged $30 for a kale Caesar salad that had about 10 leaves in it and 5 cubes previously frozen Purdue chicken.. also ordered nachos which came out looking and tasting like they poured an entire can on pasta sauce on it.. absolute rip off
