Norwood Tavern — Restaurant in Georgia

Norwood Tavern is a small bar that... According to reviews has great food. U shaped bar, and a couple booths (the latter lit by super bright fluorescent bulbs).

Took my parents here a few days after Christmas for a quick meal after reading reviews. We sat in one of the booths... And waited, and waited. 15 minutes in, I went to the bar and asked if we should order there, or if they had table service...

"Sorry, we're doing shift change. The bartender that starts at 7 will be over soon" (at 7:15).

7:30 rolls around. Both bartenders are still behind the bar. One is fratenizing with the 5 guests they had, the other is chatting with kitchen staff. I ask the same person if we'll be served, and ask for menus. I get 2 menus for 3 people, out of the big stack they had.

7:40, and we're sick of waiting. Initial bartender is gone. New bartender is stacking cups on the bar rail. I ask miss "starts at 7pm" if we will be served. A drunk patron tells me that she "isn't my bellhop", and the bartender laughs, and says... No, she won't be serving us at the table.

This place was mostly empty... Maybe 5-6 people at the bar. We would have been completely fine with ordering from the bar, but how freaking difficult is it to walk over to a table and tell us that, instead of completely ignoring us? Why did the previous bartender assure us that we would be taken care of?

It was much more expensive, but we ended up at Pearl's around the corner and had a fantastic meal.

The cheap prices might be enticing, but avoid this place... It's pretty dumpy and the service is...

They got a new bartender (Maryland). She was very punctual at her job. She made sure that our drinks were full and our food was there fast. She made it seem like we were the only customer there. It was very busy that night and she was on it. The other bartenders could learn from her. Usually cannot get that kind of service from the other bartenders if they even help you or realize you need another drink. Ever time I been there I still leave wanting more alcohol. But the other bartenders never pay attention to us, they only pay attention to the regulars. I usually only spend about 10 bucks sitting there for two hours just trying to get a drink order. With (Maryland) I spent way more because she keep asking if We need another. Like I said the other bartender could learn from her. We had a great time and experience with our bartender . As long as she is there we will keep coming back. Great job little lady keep it up. ...

We were visiting Savannah Georgia for a soccer tournament from Charlotte North Carolina. We came to the Norwood Tavern in between games to grab a bite to eat. We met the owner Bob who made our experience even more wonderful! The food was phenomenal! Every thing was made to order and fresh! The children enjoyed their time and we were treated like family! 10/10 would recommend this tavern to anyone passing by or staying. The second day of the tournament we came with more of the soccer parents and children and again were welcomed like family! What an amazing experience and relaxing vibe! Thank you Bob and all the Norwood Tavern staff! Keep doing what...
