The Brightside Tavern

Went for the 1st time with my best friend and her mom for Jazz night on 2/22/2016. Atmosphere was intimate and very warm and inviting. I enjoyed the experience over all. I will be returning for future de-stressing and un-winding after work. The patrons seemed mature, classy and pleasant. The staff was helpful and Tom is just a great guy who does whatever it takes to be sure your experience is all that it can be. Please do yourself a favor and check it out at least once.

We LOVE the Brightside Tavern! My husband and I had a very small wedding in May 2015 at City Hall, and wanted to have a party months down the road to host our friends and celebrate (about 100 people total). When my husband called to ask if they do events, he was immediately put in touch with the owner, Tommy, who was very nice and extremely helpful. We met with him months before the event to go over logistics. The prices are very reasonable and the Brightside can provide you with anything and everything you might need to host an event/party (good stereo system, ping pong and foosball tables and shuffleboard, big screen televisions, screens for slideshows, piano, private bar, private restroom, and even private smoking deck, etc.). Tommy was very easy to get in touch with while we prepped and gave us free ice cream and let us bring in our own cookies for dessert.

The event was a big hit, the service was amazing, the food was delicious, everything was perfectly timed, and the staff could not have been friendlier and more professional. We even went back for brunch the next morning. If you are looking to host a private event that is a lot of fun and very efficiently run while in a reasonable price range, Brightside is a great spot.

Excellent food at a great price. The bar was spacious with plenty of screens to watch sports. Live jazz music on Monday nights in a separate room. Also the music video jukebox is a cool unique thing there. Definitely recommended

Clean environment, inviting ambience, friendly and honest staff from the bottom all the way to the top all very accommodating, mixed crowd and well organized space, varied selections, good food in good portions, overall just good times. Sometimes when operations run smoothly, you can summarize a great deal of effort and service in quite simple terms, which any professional would agree, is no simple task.

I absolutely love this place! The owner makes you feel so welcoming and comfortable! The staff was amazing as well!! I just moved to the area from NY and this has become a frequent place of mine. I ordered a drink that was not on the menu but the bartender made me one anyway with what he had! The food is excellent, I love the mozzarella wedges! I recommend any one to this place!
