What a gem! The Tavern on Broadway is yet another business that is raising the tide on the downtown area. Our group spent the afternoon celebrating a birthday party and despite the multiple tables we needed and chaos with kids, the food was delicious and the service outstanding. They really went the extra mile. I will be back next time I am passing by! Thank you guys!!!

100% recommend, any day of the week. The food was elevated from what you'd expect at the price point. They have a good bar, great old fashioned, and a pretty good beer selection. Most importantly a fantastic staff. Go there.

March 2024 update: it's been a year since I was here. Said we'd always come back if we're in town and we did. It's as perfect as remembered. Apparently we aren't the only ones that feel that way. 500+ more likes on Facebook bar counter. Super fun place to eat and drink. Great people. The food was delicious! Best chili cheese burger ever. Potato skins top 5. Anything with the homemade Bacon Jam! We'll always find time to stop in anytime we are in town. Located in the heart of old downtown Aurora. Within walking distance of a few hotels and the casino.

Great drinks, food and service. We always feel comfortable here and enjoy ourselves. The bacon jam is amazing!

Really really good food. The spicy burger was unique, chicken sandwich was delicious and tasteful. Chili and potato skins were a must! Will come back! Food came out in a timely manner and overall a good experience

We ate there this evening. They had great hot cocoa for the Aurora Cocoa Crawl, and their classic burger and bacon jam burger were both delicious! Our server was super nice and helpful! Would definitely return.
