Tony’s Tavern

be prepared to be hit in the face with thick cigarette smoke. Not cozy.

I’m sorry my friend, you took me here on good intentions but it just did not jingle my jangle. Obviously this is a favorite for many locals which shows in the parking lot on a Thursday night but that’s for them and I will not fester them with my presence.
The drinks were pretty cheap or at least decent to say the most. Three margaritas and a glass of wine afforded me $ 18 and all was well but by the time I wanted to close my tab it seemed I was in the ignore section as well as the smoke drift in the face to top it off.
I did not know it was a smoking establishment but it’s a bar and that is understood but ventilation seemed to have been pointed at channeling towards my face no matter where I stood.
I’m probably going to get flogged in messages by everybody but it’s just my experience that I will remember in not so good way but they’re worth a second chance in the future. Sorry for going against the grain folks, there’s always one in the crowd.

The bar wasn’t bad needed to have a few things fixed, the pool like on one of the two tables didn’t work. I use to work in a dive bar I like how they normally feel very homie and welcoming but I just didn’t get that vibe when i walked in. The bartender who was there was great expect there was a girl who i found out later to be the owners daughter running around a mess super drunk with her ass hanging out doing as she pleased was his sister but even he couldn’t control her. Some reason out of the blue she had been glaring at some girl for a while and her friend finally said something about it turned into a huge mess with her trying to tell them to never come back to her bar. REMEMBER she was very drunk and had a hard time walking as it was so when her brother told her to stop she just got more mad that he even thought she was starting to get crazy. He apologized I think and they left soon after but i believe on the way out somebody (maybe that girls boyfriend) yelled something again at one of the people. Nothing like people yelling at a group of people in a bar to make you feel welcome.
I never even saw them do a thing wrong they we just playing pool minding their own business which sucks to think that could happen to anyone so don’t go unless you want to risk that drunk mess bar fly that never leaves getting upset over nothing and yelling at you.
I just don’t see how letting your young daughter walk around your place of income a mess, drunk out of her mind, embarrassing! That girl is the only reason I will NEVER go back there. Somebody needs to tell her about AA soon before she kills herself or an innocent bystander

Divey, but one awesome, country, neighborhood bar!
Went here with my bestie the other night and we had a ball! The bartenders were both great and fun although it was smoky in there, it was well ventilated because I when we left, we were surprised that we didn’t have smoky clothes and hair. Darts and fun times. Get there

really, really enjoyed myself Halloween night, my new favorite hole in the wall. I will be returning more.

I had been keeping an eye on this place for some time. I finally walk in one evening after taking a chance on the little spot next door. I couldn’t help myself after hearing all the great music coming from this spot.
This first visit happen to be on a Monday, yea a Monday. They had a DJ this night and it was a great variety of classic rock and some 90’s rock and a number of personal request.
I started out with ordering me a margarita on the rocks and I will say I was impressed considering this was a dive bar. It was shockingly fresh with a well balance of sweet and sour. This was thanks to Brian. He know what he is doing behind that bar. I was able to see him in action first hand, as he did his mixology thing he had going. The time past me by so fast here that the next thing I knew it was last call. That is proof of a great night.
Then on my second visit I was talked into to coming back here and had some friends join me. I was sad to find out Brian wasn’t working this night, so I dared to request a Rita in hopes it would be the same. Well, that was a fail. The group I was with, were on a shot craze so patron it was for me. This was another great fun filled night and I did mange to get my margarita fixed thanks to Houston. He actually took the time to listen to my complaint with the drink and although he didn’t make it, he cared enough to fix it and make sure I liked it.
The one star that is lacking, is for the smoking and no food. I am not a smoker, but the ambiance and friendliness of this place will bring me back for sure even if they don’t sell food. So see you guys next time.

Well, well, well. Look what I found. I have found dive paradise. When you think of a dive bar, you envision a bar that is exactly like this. Bars like this don’t strive to change, but strive to remain exactly the way they are. I think Tony’s has earned the right in the community to remain exactly the way they are.
Now I’ve only been here one time, and that one time meant allot. Especially for someone who is as picky as I am. Tony’s got me on one of those nights where I needed a rescue.
I visited Tony’s on the night of Cinco de Mayo. I’ve never been out on that day before so decided to go out and see what the celebration were all about. Boy was I disappointed on the Mexican restaurant that I selected but that’s a different review (Tio Chu Cho). Afterwards, I decided to go on an adventure to find a new spot to just have a few drinks before heading home. I thought of Tony’s as I always passed it by, but never stopped yet hoped it was a non smoking bar. Well… It’s not. And that’s the only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars. (I could never give 5 stars to any place the allows smoking. Just me.)
The service we received at Tony’s by Brian the bartender was superb. I had about 6 Jack and Cokes and all 6 were made exactly the same, in the larger glasses and only 6 bucks. I was in Jack Daniels paradise. Brian was consistent and had that «hell yeah I’m a bartender and proud of it» personality. Awesome!
To add to that excellent service, the music that was being played was nothing short of flawless. I mean I felt right at home. The DJ was kicking out some classic rock tunes as well as some excellent 90’s rock. I’m talking music ranging from Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Disturbed, Counting Crows, Seether, Bön Jovi and all the likes. It… was…awesome!!!
Despite this being a bar that allows as much smoking as one can ever stand, they make up for it in customer service and music. This spot completely saved my Cinco de Mayo disaster night and officially have a brand new customer.
Oh, they do not serve food, but they are directly next to a spot that I visited before stopping in that makes some very tasting Mexican food. (Viva Jalisco Taqueria) I will be reviewing them soon.
Burp well… and prosper!

Fun sports bar with local teams even on the TVs!!, And probably the best Dj\Karaōke guy I’ve ever met last Friday, and every night they have any shot\drink, you want for 1 $ off for an entire hour, I chose bullblasters and they were even a $ off, was Smokey but I think its cause people were smoking in there: 0 and the bartender blew flames

This place is ruckus on Fridays and Saturdays! I guarantee you that if you go one of those nights you will see things you wont normally see at bars. I’m talking xrated… so, just be warned:-)

I would suggest this place to anyone who prefers smoking and lives on the North-​side of town.
A small local bar like many others I am sure with Golf and Bowling arcades, electronic dart boards, pool tables, and a small dance floor. The atmosphere has a good olé boy feel, good people, and good bartenders.
I have come back again and again due to some good happy hour prices and some late night specials. On occasion there is food on the weekends during football season, everyone just talks, is really calm, and just enjoys the game.
I have met a couple good friends here, and have met some nice people.
Possible Downsides for bar folks:
1) Very smokey, if you don’t like it, do not go.
2) Never know when there’s gonna be a DJ, though the usual one who shows up there, is very open to playing a variety. I have had him play tons of Beatles there.
3) The pool tables have some kinks, but the staff will help you if you ask.
