Lighthouse Tavern

It is what it is, a bar food joint. Don’t expect anything more except for a fun game of shuffleboard. Yes, they have it here, woohoo!

Guy next to me at bar is spitting tobacco in a cup. While I’m trying to enjoy my meal there is a bucket of brown spit near my elbow. Manager said there was nothing he could do.

I’ve been here a few times since they’ve changed it up and I have to say I like it. The redo of the environment is great. They fixed the bathrooms and they added light.
I’ve had their regular salad which is huge and fresh. Their chili is thick and meaty. They serve that with jalapeños so you can make it as hot as you want. I’ve tried a few sandwiches as well and they were all good, especially compared to what they used to be. The pickle spears are crisp and crunchy. I even like their fries and I’m picky about fries.
I usually sit at the bar and have never had bad service. The bartenders are quick to fill up your glass or recommend a drink or something different based on what you say you like.
Lots of big TVs. Great place to watch football.

Great wings and burgers. Nice selection of beer on tap. Friendly bartender and good music too

Good food and a nice rotating selection of craft beers. One of the best burgers in the area and they are cooked to the temperature requested. Lots of other selections on the menu that are good. Specials every night. Get there early on Tuesday for the 2 for 1 burger promotion. A (limited) raw bar is available on weekends. Assorted games and other attention grabbers are available for kids (and big kids).

Living in this area there’s not many options for a casual night out. Doyles is always a solid, but sometimes you want to experience something different.
Which brings me here, to the Lighthouse Tavern in Waretown. We arrived around 5, and grabbed some seats at the bar. And then comes the waiting. We were instantly greeted by the busboy, which was nice… But it took 8 minutes to be acknowledged by a bartender. No eye contact, no hey I’ll be with you in a second, both women were extremely rude and not attentive at all, to the point that we were ready to leave before we were even served. We each ordered a beer and a water. And then 15 minutes later asked again for a water. And then, after that, I was able to get the same attentive busboy to pour us water, followed by a snoody comment from the bartender «I was getting to that» (mind you she had already poured and been sipping on her own water.) Our friend ordered food, which he said was tasty but didn’t have any utensils to use and once again we had to ask the bus boy.
Not to say all things at the lighthouse are bad. Their food is always pretty decent, the busboy was friendly, and when the two guys coming in for the night shift came in, they were extremely friendly and attentive.
Isn’t it sad that you choose to tip your bus boy more money then you would your bartender?

Plenty to like about this place. The beer menu is what gets me out of my home, and this place has a pretty quality one. Something like 10 craft beers available, and of course your terrible regulars.
Food was very good. I had a burger with bacon and bleu cheese on a hard roll that was quite tasty. Bread was solid but not too tough, bacon was good, cheese was very good. Waffle fries a tad greasy, but I think you expect that.
Atmosphere very lively for a Friday night. TVs everywhere, probably an alright place to catch the game.
My only beef was that the wait for food seemed like a long time, maybe 20 – 30 minutes for my burger, my wife’s wrap, and a kids meal. The place doesn’t seem big enough to need a wait that long, but I got time to enjoy my beer, so there’s that. Try this place out, you can do worse.

We’ve been coming here for about a year. Never disappointed. Above-​average food for what you’d expect, plus occasional specialties that surprise. Good choice of craft beer but needs better marketing (as in putting menu/​list on tables to promote them). Entertainment scheduled weekly, including karaōke, which we experienced one night and were surprised at the talent displayed! Good neighborhood pub.

Worst service ever. Our server brought our meals over and I guess clocked out because she was sitting at the bar slugging beers back as we were trying to find her!!! Not the first time my family has had such a bad experience here. Looks like unless you’re a biker or a regular they don’t pay attention to you. I would never recommend someone to eat here.

Lighthouse is a great neighborhood restaurant. No matter the meal I have had it has always been good. From a pasta dish,
To an app, to a steak dish. They never fail to
deliver a good meal and good service!

Some of the worst food I’ve ever had. Don’t go here. My wrap was so soggy and wet, and fell apart completely in my hands. I ordered steamed broccoli that was served warm but completely raw. What a waste of money.

Thought the wings were good but small, nothing to call home about. Had the French dip which was also just ok, would only come back if I happened to be driving by and was starving

This place is so good! Everything on the menu is great and you have to get the Cajun fries! I love that they have beer flights and they always have a lot of really cool beers on tap. They have live music, it’s a fun night out!

Tuesday two for 1 one burgers is a great bargain. The burgers are good. A step up from the usual diner burgers. They do not seem like frozen pattys. They had good flavor. The inside was just redone, but in my opinion it could have been done a little nicer. But for a tavern on the go its an ok place to stop in at. There seems to be some entertainment events that locals like to hang out at. Wednesday night is wing night. Thats not a bad gig.

Good food good friendly service. Some creepy customers but just don’t give them direct eye contact.

great local tavern to get a quick drink or a sit down dinner ! lots of tv’s to watch no matter where you sit. service is good and the food even better ! The wings are one of the best i’ve had in a long time. Daily specials and bands on the weekends makes it a great place to go (bennie free during the winter !) get there early because the place can and will fill up fast even thro they made room for more seating.

Our family enjoyed dinner here:) I’m from out of town and was a little worried about local bar atmosphere since we were bringing our toddler. What a nice surprise! My in-​law told us that there are ongoing updates to the establishment which seemed obvious to me. I felt that this could be a homey pub for sports fans (lots of TV’s) and families. The ribs were excellent. My hamburger was huge and tasty! Service was very good as well We are definitely coming back… ⁴⁄₅ was only due to ongoing updates.

The hole in the wall with a few sketchy locals hanging at the bar… This place is far from fancy but a perfect laid back pick for having a few beers, great wings, and really good burgers with cajun fries! My sweatshirt and jeans night out with my hubs and a few friends for sure!

Being a local, we love finding new places (to us) to eat. We are so sick of the apple bees and local diners. We decided to come here after a Facebook ad believe it or not. The food was great, they had trivia going on which made it fun, the service was ok. To be fair it was completely packed and only one waitress. However even with her juggling about 12 tables we never went without a drink and didn’t have to wait to long for her to bring out whatever we requested (extra napkins, utensils etc.) Overall very happy we found this little joint to hang at. Loved it.

Not a bad local place. Good food fair prices.
The service could be a bit better.
Some friendly folks that always seem willing to chat.
Or you can hang out and watch a game.
Not bad at all.
