Top Reviews of Checkerboard Tavern

08/09/2025 - Crystal W.
The Checkerboard Tavern has a lively, regular crowd and a laid-back vibe that makes for an enjoyable Sunday afternoon, with good food like their excellent breaded tenderloin and a friendly, attentive staff. While the limited draft beer selection and allowance of smoking indoors might not suit everyone, the overall experience is welcoming and consistently satisfying.
