I visited the restaurant yesterday 12/2 around 1pm. The restaurant was not busy so we were seated quickly. Service was good! I ordered the Reuben Sandwich. Food came out quickly and it was tasty !

Had a burger here during a quiet lunch time. The burger was made well. The fries and onion rings were fantastic. Nuff said, cold beer, and great food. Highly recommend.

First, I would like to thank the staff for all of their help in coordinating and a huge thank you to Gabriel for his patience and hospitality running the our whole bar and party solo. I had the opportunity to host a private party in the cellar of Tavern. We all enjoyed the food, drinks and room very much. I highly recommend this place if you are considering having a bite, quick drink or hosting an event! I am very satisfied with the event overall, I would like to give a couple minor constructive criticisms for feedback. On a few occasions random people who I did not know would find their way down into the “private” room which turned out okay but some people may have a problem with this. Also I was told that we’d have the room until midnight when the bar closed. To be clear we did not feel rushed to leave, I wish there was a bit more clarity on the deadlines for the kitchen and bar ahead of time. I say this mostly because we had a good portion of the group show up late so we decided to continue the rest of the night elsewhere afterwords. Overall, I had been here many a times as a fellow Rutgers graduate and I will be back soon! Thank you as always!

I would definitely recommend this Tavern if you are in the area. Right on George Street, there is no car traffic in this area of George St. We only stopped in for drinks, but the food looked amazing. I will definitely be back for the food. Drinks were made perfectly, and the atmosphere was amazing. Love that they have a downstairs area as well. Look forward to going back.

Ordered the loaded tots, the huge pretzel, and the cheese steak rolls. All good. Incredibly filling, no need to order entrees. The main room had TV's playing sports and a stage with acoustic singer. If it had been anything more that one guy with a guitar, it would have been too loud. Good spot for a date. Will go again.

Great food and drinks at a reasonable price. Love the live jazz and bands they rotate. Don’t forget to try the donuts!

We recently hosted our organization’s annual team party at Tavern on George, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. We had around 50 guests and reserved the Shoemaker Room for our private event, which was the perfect setting for a fun and elevated celebration. The entire staff was professional, attentive, and incredibly accommodating throughout the planning process and during the event itself. Everything was organized seamlessly, making it easy for our team to simply enjoy the night. The pre-fixe food menu was outstanding with great variety, generous portions, and excellent quality across every course. The drinks were equally impressive with great cocktails, strong service, and a great overall bar experience for our guests. The Shoemaker Room created the perfect atmosphere for a private gathering, and the overall experience felt polished, welcoming, and well executed. We highly recommend Tavern on George for private events, corporate gatherings, and celebrations of any kind.

I had a really enjoyable evening at Tavern on George. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, especially with the live music playing from 7 PM to 10 PM it definitely added a great vibe to the night. Our server, Auriel, was outstanding. Super attentive and friendly, he recommended a few dishes for us, which made the whole experience even better. I ordered a burger it could’ve used a bit more seasoning, but it was still good. The fries were crispy and well done. My wife went with the pork ribs, and they were excellent fall off the bone tender and full of flavor. We also tried the calamari; it wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it was still decent. My Amaretto Sour was spot on smooth, balanced, and delicious.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tavern on George — An Absolute Standout Tavern on George absolutely nailed it tonight. From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere felt warm, lively, and effortlessly inviting—the kind of place where you instantly relax and know you’re in good hands. The food was outstanding. Every bite felt intentional, comforting, and indulgent in the best way. This is elevated tavern food done right—rich flavors, generous portions, and clearly made with care. But the real star of the night was our waiter, Gabriel. Hands down, one of the best servers I’ve ever had anywhere. Attentive without hovering, friendly without being forced, and genuinely invested in making sure the experience was perfect. He read the table flawlessly, anticipated needs before we even asked, and brought an energy that made the whole night better. Service like that is rare—and unforgettable. If you’re in New Brunswick and want great food, a great vibe, and world-class service, Tavern on George is the move. Ask for Gabriel. You’ll leave happy, full, and already planning your return.
