The Highland Tavern — Restaurant in Gloucester City

It is a house in the middle of a town that has been converted to a bar tavern. Some call it a "dive bar", but I call it the people's bar. Welcomes all walks of live. Staff is friendly, and warns it's patrons with true manners if they step out of line, become to obnoxious, happy or loud otherwise.

Not a child's school for book learning, or a place where the urban family should bring their family to dine finely. This is a place where the hero's gather to share their battle winnings and rewards with each other. Veterans, handicap, disabled, stressed people just looking to blow off some steam.

If you are a gentlemen, and decide to bring your lady? Keep your woman next to you. I might just show up looking for a good time, if you know what I mean - giggety goo. But it is all good in the neighborhood here, because we do not force ourselves on anyone, threaten or violent. Just a down home friendly place where peaceful people exercise their right to happiness and freedom to talk as they see fit, without need...

Best hidden gem in South Jersey. We literally live two houses down from this bar and to be honest, we do not stop in as often as I'd like. Great tasting food at very reasonable prices. The wings are by far some of the best in the area, hands down! The hot honey wings are to die for!!!!! Bartenders and servers are friendly and really make sure to make you feel welcome whether you're a regular or a first-timer. Since the new owner has taken over, not much has changed aesthetically and I really hope it stays that way. The only thing I would even suggest maybe updating would be the bathroom situations....it's a little confusing and leaves you feeling a little vulnerable;) Other than that, it's a great place to grab a drink and watch the game...

When given the choice to visit Gloucester City’s best kept secret since 1933, do it. The Highland Tavern is the best dive bar in the area and voted one of the top 25 best dive bars in the state for a good reason. Come in and see the best Kathy or any of the other amazing staff at The Highland for great food & drink specials and a welcoming atmosphere. They also have the best Rubens around. This family owned top bar is always a top...
