Old Tavern Bar & Grill

My new favorite bar...step above a dive bar, great service, friendly workers and customers. Can't beat the prices. It's a go to spot!!! Don't tell anyone.

We came here for St. Patrick's day and it was the spot to be. They were participating in (at least) one of the bar crawls and they had a special menu for people participating as well as a St. Patrick's day menu for regular people like us. The prices were all reasonable, $2 Jell-O shots and $5 puts of Guinness as well as some other options. We learned at one of our other stops that Old Tavern had opened at 6am with drinks and breakfast burritos available. It was less crowded at that time too. They have a bar inside and outside and a good amount of seating. There's also a pool table and pinball machines here too. I recommend bringing cash, they take cards but charge you a standard charge and then give back change in cash. It was weird to me, but I understand credit card fees suck for businesses especially when people are getting low priced drinks. This wasn't our first time at this dive bar and it won't be our last.

Good 'ol OT. This place is definitely a dive and the crowd seems to vary. Some weekends it a younger crowd which means the Touchtunes is cranking out hip hop and others it's an older crowd so it's playing country and rock, ya just never know! They offer a pool table, which is hard to get and good luck playing on a busy night because you'll rarely get a shot in where someone isn't bumping into you. They have a few seating tables inside as well as outdoor seating with an outdoor bar. If the inside is packed, I recommend trying the outside bar as it's often times way less crowded. And that's assuming they have it open and manned. They also have a few arcade games which I feel have been neglected. I don't think I've ever seen anyone play them and honestly wouldn't be surprised if they didn't work. As previously mentioned, getting a drink from the inside bar can be tough. They have a huge "order here" sign at one end of the bar that no one seems to acknowledge as it's just a free for all. Lastly, the bathrooms. They only have one stall for the women and it's a tiny area so it gets crowded waiting in line that often times women have to wait outside the entry door. They do offer food too, well wings, just wings. It's from a separate company that uses their kitchen so not technically Old Taverns food, but worth the mention that they are good if you find yourself hungry. I do love that OT is located within walking distance to Zebra and Henry's so it's almost always in rotation when we visit one of the other bars.

Wanting to go out and just mingle, well good spot to talk and have good eats. The service was not as helpful as the environment was. Granted it's a Bar, more of a menu or specials highlighted. When I arrived no music was playing and not much of a dance floor.

Pleasantly surprised. Service. Food ambiance. All was very good and definitely would go back. Sadly we didn't take any pics. Must have been cause we're enjoying our dinner I'd recommend this place.

This place does bar food well, and after tonight I know they can also do pasta and ahi tuna! It's a little loud inside and if you have trouble sitting at a high top you may want to look for another restaurant. In the summer they have outdoor dining. The beer selection is really good for a small town like Salisbury!

I am 73 years old now. The last time I was here is when I was 29 years old and it looks nicer than I use to drink beer here back in 1979. Bill was the owner and he also owned another bar in Sacramento. He sold that bar and kept the Old Tavern. I don't believe at that time, they ever served food. Mostly beer and wine and was super inexpensive from what it costs for a beer or a glass of wine today. If I went there, since i do not drink anymore, I would love to try the food they are showing on the pictures. Old Customer from long a go.

Crapy service! We went pub crawl and this was second stop people line on on side to order drinks but also we sat at bar and they never served us after sitting for 10 minutes at one point there was not a person standing in line and we still didn't get served at the bar.. super annoying.. I asked can we get served here she said faster if you go stand in line. Wow ok byeeee lost out on that sale rude. It's ok Henry's is wayyyy nicer and wayyyy quicker to take our money!

This is for Papi Hibachi the Chef in the back. Went in today with a group and ordered the loaded cheese fries, bacon wrapped hot dog, and fried mozzarella sticks and poppers. Everything was hot, crispy, tasty, and a big portion. Papi himself came by to check on us, gave us free fresh churros as a thank you, and was super friendly! My loaded cheese fries were LOADED, fresh, full of flavor, REAL bacon, and just made with love!!! If you're in OT.... order some food!! You won't regret it!! Thank you Papi!! We'll be back!!

Old Tavern is an incredible time. I've been coming here for two years during soccer games in the morning. This one of a kind dive bar has the best service, bartenders that genuinely care about their customers, and an owner that gets to know their guests. It's a family atmosphere, where everyone knows each other if you go a few times. Old Tavern is also one of the few places in Sacramento that will open early (6:00 AM) so the regulars can watch the soccers games in the London time zone. The owner, Jameson, really prides himself on community, and cares about the people that come in. I would highly recommend coming here if you want to feel welcomed in the Sacramento community!
