The service, management, and atmosphere was spectacular! We live in south Melbourne Beach and are in IRC quite often for different reasons (North County Aquatic Center, garden centers, going to McKee as members particularly for the splash pad and current exhibits, Vero Art Museum, etc.) and are always looking for new places that can accommodate my wife's food allergies (anaphylactic reaction to shellfish, casein (dairy products), and tree nuts) whereby it can sometimes be hard to find a good place without an "eyeroll" or two. Additionally, it can be "trying" at best to travel with a toddler particularly one just shy of 2 and having energy to no end (mind you being a parent in the mid 40s doesn't help the situation)! Initially, we did not have high hopes as we had been to Coopers up the street in the past and were not impressed. We were greeted immediately by the bartender and owner and provided a menu. Simple, yes, but perfect, also yes! In a world where prices are going up, this menu was ideal with great prices and just the right options for lunch! My wife had a turkey sandwich, our toddler had a grilled cheese, and I had the grilled roast beef with horseradish! It was all phenomenal! The bartender, who is also the cook, was SUPER friendly and personable! Maybe its the fact that I grew up outside of Atlantic City where hole in the wall taverns are a dime a dozen, but it was a breath of fresh air to find a place like this in our "backyard"! If you go in with an open mind knowing that your lunch needs will be met at a decent price, you will certainly leave happy! Thank you What A Tavern and we...
   Read moreLove this place. Met a customer here, (he said it was his office....LOL), and ended up staying for a while. Great crowd, its a mature crowd, and everyone is civilized. The youngest person I saw, was about 28-30. This is a good crowd. I avoid bars with young guys, as they tend to look for trouble after a few drinks. Another great attribute, is the amount of TV's. This is a sports bar, and a place you can take in several games at one time. The Bartender, was spot on. She is an older woman,(well preservedđ), with 5 Grandchildren!!! My glass never hit bottom. I highly recommend this place. I can see there have been a lot of good...
   Read moreWe had a group there from Fairlane Harbor and we had several chairs at the bar and this couple arrives and the woman decided to take one of our chairs for them and the gentleman sitting in that chair went to the bathroom and this lady who thought she owned that chair started calling our group names. The owner agreed with this couple because they had money and were well know to be rich that they should have the chair Now there was plenty of room for them to sit together elsewhere. Well I can guarantee that we or any one else from our Community will never set foot in there again I will not recommend What A Tavern to anyone...
