Town Tavern - Alameda

Caught the last half of happy hour!I was originally going to La Penca Azul but It’s looking somber these days, so I crossed the street to check this place that -strangely- had some open tables outside.My server was super friendly and kindly replaced the beer I ordered (it was a Pilsner because I am not into hops, but was still too hoppy for me .I upgraded to a Gimlet by his suggestion -which was delicious and I wish I had taken a picture of- it was lemony and perfect!My second cocktail was the not happy hour Basil Gimlet (intense and too sweet! .I didn’t try the food because it looked ok, but not amazing ??‍Moral of the story: come to happy hour but beware what you order.PS. I ended up ordering a glass of ice to dilute the super sweetness of my cocktail ?

Drinks are all good, staff is great, and if you can get the churros... Get the churrosFood: 5/5

Finally tried Town Tavern for the first time tonight for dinner. We started with the French Onion Dip and Potato Chips. We thoroughly enjoyed. That may be one of the best French Onion Dips that I’ve ever had. If I could order a small bucket to go, I totally would.I had the Ahi Sliders. Very tasty but a little messy. He ordered the Tavern Burger and enjoyed it. Not greasy and sautéed onions were a nice touch. Fries came with both dishes and they were plentiful. The beer was cold and hit the spot.The service was excellent! We were constantly being checked on and appreciated that. Glad that we were finally able to try out Town Tavern but wish they were open on Sundays. We’ll definitely be returning.

This place is truly a gem! I almost hate to share it cause I'm fearful I'll never get a table if I do. But Town Tavern is great and I want them to pack the house every night and be successful and make boat loads of money because they deserve it. Their service is AWESOME! they're so friendly and so good about checking back, refills, just all around great service, food, atmosphere. Always a joy eating and drinking here. I also really appreciate their menu and the vegan/vegetarian options especially those meatless toquitos! Oh boy those are delicious. Everything is just done extremely well. They've set a bar and they exceed it time and time again and that's something that's noticed and so appreciated. I'll get coming back to Town Tavern again and again because I always leave happy, tipsy, and grateful for my time there. Bravo Town Tavern! We see you and we're grateful ???

Nice owner and servers but the drinks are the bomb. Upbeat crowd 30-40's fun noisy atmosphere
