Kenny's Sportsbar — Restaurant in Green Township

If you ever find yourself yearning for an offbeat dining experience, look no further than the unassuming, yet surprisingly charming hole-in-the-wall bar known as The Dugout Tavern. Despite its modest exterior and minimalistic decor, this place offers an unexpectedly delightful culinary adventure that will leave you questioning the true meaning of hidden gems.

Upon arrival, I was immediately struck by the establishment’s authenticity. The Dugout Tavern doesn’t concern itself with flashy gimmicks or pretentious ambiance; instead, it embraces a straightforward, unpolished charm that only the truly discerning can appreciate. It’s a refreshing deviation from the overly curated dining experiences that have become all too common.

Let’s talk about the wings. Yes, they took a rather astonishing 27 minutes to arrive at my table, which initially seemed like an eternity in a world accustomed to instant gratification. However, the moment I bit into one of those perfectly succulent morsels, all was forgiven. The wings were nothing short of spectacular—deliciously seasoned, flawlessly cooked, and worth every second of the wait. If patience is a virtue, then the reward here is undeniably sublime.

The pretzel, on the other hand, was a different story. It was, quite frankly, so-so. A bit too doughy, lacking the satisfying chewiness one expects from a top-tier pretzel. It wasn’t bad, per se, just underwhelming in comparison to the standout wings. But in a place like The Dugout Tavern, one learns to appreciate the highs without dwelling too much on the lows.

As if the culinary delights weren’t enough, the entertainment on offer was nothing short of epic. Imagine my surprise and delight to find that instead of the predictable Olympic coverage, ESPN 3 was broadcasting college baseball. The choice of sport was a stroke of genius, catering perfectly to the bar’s clientele and adding to the overall experience. Watching the intense game play out while savoring those amazing wings was an unexpected pleasure that added a unique twist to the evening.

In summary, The Dugout Tavern is a place that defies conventional expectations. It’s not trying to be trendy or sophisticated; it simply excels at being authentically itself. The service, while leisurely, reflects a confidence in the quality of the food, particularly those unforgettable wings. And though the pretzel may not impress, the overall experience is elevated by the thoughtfully chosen entertainment and the bar’s genuine, unpretentious atmosphere. For those who appreciate the charm of an authentic, no-frills dining experience, The Dugout Tavern is a five-star find. Just be prepared to wait a bit for those wings—but trust me,...

This was my first time here. Was an early afternoon, so was not too crowded when I got there, definitely filled up more towards the afternoon and evening. Adam was the bartender and took very good care of me. Drink prices are just a tad bit on the high side in my opinion but not too out of line. They do have a happy hour, $0.50 off normal price, I think it ends at 6 or 7. They do take a credit card and there is a 3% charge for using it. Four dart boards, 1 pool table, lots of seating, small menu, bar food. I will go back. P S - I was told the place is going up for sale in May or...

Very nice and quiet bar when they first open at 11 A.M. 😇. The staff is amazing. They always make me feel welcome and they are always present and attentive to the customers they serve. If you are looking for a quick sip or just a nice place to hangout and unwind at a local pitstop this is the place to be. It's $3.50 for a 16 oz. of domestic and for the ipa lovers they have goose island for $2 a bottle. Makers Mark is $4.50. Just go in and you will understand why I love this place and maybe you'll...
