This was my first time back since new management turned a good bar into a GREAT BAR - the 1905 Tavern!!! Only had "Hot Caesar" wings which were great and a couple Outlaw beers! Can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu because they all look delicious! Bartenders & other patrons were all friendly! Reasonable prices! Overall, a great, fun night!

Got to say the pizza was some of the best Old Forge style around, they really got that dialed in. The wings were great, perfect level or crisp, great flavor. All around great place to get a drink and get some great food.

Cruising home from a road trip to the Hudson Valley, we had to swing by The 1905 Tavern since it's not super close to us, but I've seen it mentioned on almost everyone's list of must-try places. Maybe it was the nostalgia of a couples weekend together (blended family, five kids)... or maybe it was Maggie, who greeted us with a bubbly smile and great product knowledge. I thought Maggie had long been the face behind the bar here, with the way she explained all the items and the passionate appreciation for what they're pumping out of the kitchen; she has just started working there... It must be a very near and dear place to her; but that's easy to get behind when you work with good people, and use fresh, high-quality ingredients with homemade traditions and recipes. Ok, now the pizza. Great crunch to the crust, and nowhere near as heavy as some of our Sicilian favorites in the Wyoming Valley or Back Mountain. I guess it's considered Old Forge style, but that's a rabbit hole for another day. The cheese was a unique and tasty blend that I couldn't put my finger on, but was a little different than most I've tried before. And when you reheat it, tastes like a giant toasted Cheez-It... That really hit the spot the next day. Oh, and amazing cappalletti soup (like Grandma's) and some of the best bites I've ever had, not pictured... Not overly breaded or fried, chunky and meaty, and lots of interesting sauces and rubs to choose from.

Small corner bar serving delicious food. 1905 Tavern hosts up to date upholstery and quirky decor to give a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Coupled with our friendly waitress/bartender Amber, our experience couldn't have been any better.

I love their wings, but watch out for the "fire on the mountain" flavor, they're spicy. I usually make it there on a Thursday, which is also trivia night and always a good time, even when you're a little stupid, like me.
