Alex's Tavern

Alex's Tavern keeps late hours in a tiny Jackson Avenue room where smoke, sports, music, and conversation matter as much as the short menu. The Greek seasoned burger is the food anchor, but the appeal lies in experiencing a true neighborhood bar on its own terms. Arrive without expecting polish, order simply, and let the compact space set the pace of the night.
