Tunnicliff's Tavern

This Tavern combines an irish bar feel with a large outdoor seating area to make for what it calls "the gathering place on the Hill." An extensive bar menu makes this really a restaurant with a bar as opposed to a bar with food, but don't let that stop you from coming in to grab a black and tan after work. The late night menu -available until 1 a.m. - makes this a great stop too, once you get back to the neighborhood. Brunch is also popular here on Saturday and Sunday, which makes that awkward morning hello a little less awkward. The phrase "about last night" sounds a lot less scary with smoked salmon and a bloody mary.
