Description

On a rainy evening, a group of friends sought refuge in a lively tavern only to be met with a chaotic atmosphere and questionable pricing practices. One patron detailed an alarming experience with overcharging, raising concerns over transparency and customer service. Compounding the negative impressions, reports of violence surrounding the venue emerged, including a tragic shooting that cast a dark shadow over its reputation. However, amidst the chaos, some patrons praised dedicated staff members who foster a welcoming environment. Overall, while there are moments of charm and camaraderie, the tavern's recent issues may deter those seeking a safe and enjoyable outing.

Jeff is fantastic, and I always have a great time at Tai's! The drinks are excellent, and the prices are very reasonable.

This is certainly one of the most unusual late-night bars I've ever visited. The bartender was giving out candy...

The bartender on Sunday night intentionally overcharges customers. As someone who works in the industry, I know that most items are integrated into the POS system, especially the popular ones. We ordered Hamm’s beer, which typically costs between $3 and $5. However, when we received the itemized receipt, it simply showed “custom item,” and we were charged $7 per beer. When I asked the bartender why it was processed this way, I was told, “That’s just how we do it.” Knowing how the system operates, I recognized that this was not true. The bartender is taking advantage of customers, and I will not be returning to this establishment.

Open all night. Whether that's a PRO or CON is up to your night. Bartender is nice and place is clean and available.

Jeff and Joe keep that place in excellent condition. Tais wouldn’t be the same without them. I really appreciate you both and the wonderful atmosphere you've created.
