Your City Tavern



City Tavern! What can I say...it's located in the heart of Downtown Dallas on Main St...Main St. District's "real" bar, if you will.

The owner, Josh Florence isn't just the owner because often you can normally find him slinging drinks with the rest of his staff. The two story bar sits nice with two stages (one down and one up)for those great live bands that pop in Wed-Sat.

Take a breath of air, sip your drinks, and watch the people as they go by while sitting at one of our outside tables. Whether it's a weekday or weekend the City Tavern stands alone...with it's historical building structure complete with high backed booths and hardwoods it can easily take anyone back to a time where a "bar was a bar."

The owner has the attitude of making this the most welcoming bar in Dallas. So, when downtown we hope you stop in...have a drink or three, eat some yummy food, enjoy the live music and have a great time!

Suggestions when coming: Try the food...it's really good! Faves are: Stuffed Jalepenos (they're huge!), the Fried Pickles and the yummy, juicy Burger!

It's not all about the cold beer and great food, though! City Tavern books soem of the best bands and artists the city has to offer.
