What People Are Saying About Pipers Tavern

In Short – While the name suggests this bar is a dark Irish pub, it's actually a bright, friendly hangout where sports fans gather and karaoke lovers can indulge their vocal chords. The decor is basic, graciously devoid of too much sports memorabilia--and the comfortable neighborhood atmosphere attracts a casual crowd. Weekends are dedicated to live music.

Great Sunday Brunch
by SeaMonkey
We have been to Pipers for lunch and dinner but had not been in for the brunch. It was outstanding. The only down side was the wait, but it was worth it.
- Pros: A large selection of breakfast and lunch items
- Cons: The wait

Awful manager, poor food
by ponyfros
My husband and I ate there tonight. He ordered fish and chips for fourteen dollars and I ordered the crabcake sandwich that came out cold in the middle. I told the waitress and she took it back. I waited fifteen minutes for another sandwich while my husband finished his greasy, tasteless fish. For fourteen dollars. When my crabcake sandwich finally arrived, I asked her to take it back because my husband had finished eating and we came here to have dinner together. Not separately. I asked for the manager. After explaining the situation, she got an 'attitude' and said that now they'd have to throw two meals away. I responded that if they had done it correctly the FIRST time that would not be a problem. She really irritated me when she tried to give me a guilt trip for not being happy with my cold, crabcake sandwich. She excused herself and soon the chubby part owner came over. He had an attitude immediately and when I tried to explain the problem, he just kept talking over me. He was rude, he had an arrogant attitude and kept saying how much money he makes at his restaurant and couldn't understand why I was not happy with the meal. I tried to explain that when my husband and I go out to dinner we like to dine TOGETHER and I certainly expected a crabcake sandwich to be at least WARM on the inside. Again, he didn't listen, started talking over me and that's when I left the table. The food was tremendously overpriced, the staff certainly not gracious and we would never go back. Go to Winston's. A much better atmosphere where you'll at least feel like you're having a nice evening out. Go to Duffy's. Both places serve tremendously better food and you don't get an 'attitude' if you might have a problem with your food. This place definitely caters to a lower class of people, who probably think an evening out at a kind of run-down bar, with overpriced, greasy food is a fun night out. The owner definitely fits that category. Complete with dirty shorts, messy shirt and just an unkempt appearance. One has to wonder what the kitchen looks like. Scary, I would guess. Don't go.
- Pros: non
- Cons: expensive prices for poor quality food,

Great Place
by Diane0731
I was at the Pipers Tavern a few Saturdays ago around 10ish, I walked in and it was a little quite for a bar but I was quickly noticed and asked if I could be seated. Once I was sat I was greeted by a very talkative young lady. She was able to make an excellent recommendation from the menu even though they were only serving appetizers and pizzas. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised the service we received and the food. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone but would fore warn those that do not smoke to be aware, as My husband and I smoke and were sitting in the smoking section it didn't bother us, but the restaurant is in an older building and can get fairly smoky. The food was great along with the service I received. Go and enjoy!
- Pros: Great Service, Great Prices
- Cons: A little smoky for those that dont smoke
The Details on Pipers Tavern
On The Menu:
The tavern serves usual pub fare like nachos and Buffalo wings, but a few tasty alternatives round out the options. The specialty pizzas or blackened shrimp are particularly good options.
Where to Sit:
Seating depends on your mood--the bar is far enough away from the dining area, yet there's another section that's ideal for a raucous group during football nights.
