The Edgewood Tavern

My friend and I have been going to The Edgewood Tavern for years. They take great care of their customers. The last time I was there I sat at the bar and the bartender accidently broke a glass and a piece of glass landed inside the ice bin. Instead of carefully retrieving the broken glass the barback completely emptied the ice bin to make sure that there were no missed pieces of glass. Witnessing that action made me convinced that I will never ingest something other than delicious alcohol products. The bartenders are always friendly and the popcorn is always free. They do not serve any food except during football season they often hold a pot luck event during the games. If you are hungry this is not the place for you unless you go next door and get a pizza and bring it back to the bar. If you want a good cold drink and relax and talk with a friend this is a great place to visit.

I have to admit, I expected this place to be terrible.
Thankfully, I’m happy to report that’s not the case.
While the Edgewood won’t be winning any awards for originality, it does get points for getting the important parts of a watering hole right.
The pool tables were well-​lit and in good condition. The bar had a great selection on tap and a full liquor selection.
My roommate and I only had beers so we didn’t get to test the bartenders hand at mixing but he seemed solid enough.
This bar is smoky and I“m sure it can get packed during the busy nights, but if you’re just looking for a chill place to hang your hat; the Edgewood is good for that.

Is there a way to give this place a zero star rating? I would if I could. It is full of over testosteroned high school heroes who can’t let go of the past and feel that they still have something to prove. I feel all but two times I have gone here has a fight not broken out. I was the center of one had was started by the bounced. The staff is rude and lazy. A bartender once saw me at the bar and ignored me to text on her phone for five minutes! When I did not tip her what she felt she deserved I was promptly THROWN out of the bar while my friend was punched by the bouncer. The place is terrible just terrible and only go if you have no other choices, at that point just stay home.
