Russell's Tavern

The food was tasty. Service is typically good. Feeling here is similar to a place in Columbus I liked.

service is consistently great. food is similar to a place in san francisco i loved.

I came here last summer and was feeling kinda down. A regular picked up on that and introduced me to other regulars. We ended up talking the rest of the night, end of which they "hazed" me by ordering this yucky licorace drink to invite me into the group. Sadly, I never made it back down but I am once they open again. I never forgot their kindness and friendship. They were willing to include me as a regular if I showed up.
The bar itself is beautifully lit and cozy. The drinks are well-made. Everybody cares about each other and it definitely was like I stepped into "Cheers." Looking forward to getting to catch up to folks. Hope it opens soon.

Quaint little establishment that is warm and cozy. Two booths on the back wall, window seats, of course, bar seats, and a table in the middle that invite others to join. A variety of planted and animal based food selections offered. I had the arugula salad ($8) and the slider with chimichurri sauce ($6). Nice presentation on the slider and it was delicious! I even used the slider to wipe up the remaining juices and sauce on the plate. The arugula salad was a bit on the vinegary side, for my tastes. Next time, I might pair it up with a different item as both were on the tangy side. Service was timely in every aspect. I'll be back for sure as there are cocktails and food I still want to try out.
