Love this place! Scott and his staff are top notch. Great drinks, great bar food, even better atmosphere.

Extremely cheap bar food with large portions. They serve food late too. Good place to go with some buddies for a couple drinks and cheap food. They also have trivia on Wednesday night which is a pretty good time if you're looking for something to do.

Came back for more and they didn't disappoint! Along with the fantastic beef sliders I tried the grilled chicken and this triple poultry play was a home run delivering great flavors! The fried pickles were superb! Sliced thin fried perfectly and seasoned fantastically! And of course the buffalo wings and house fried chips were on the spot! I am so in love with this place! And last nights dream sickle topped it off!

Who could resist going to a place that has happy hour until 8 PM? Not this girl, certainly! It is definitely one of the reasons I have gone several times to City Tavern. And who could resist a place that specializes in dangerously strong, delicious adult slushies?? Let's be honest - the slushies are the best part of this place. They usually have 5 flavors, I believe. The most popular is definitely the Tiger in the Tank, an orangy drink made with Everclear. They also have a Orange Creamcicle (Everclear & vanilla vodka, I believe), one made with 99 Bananas, and sometimes a grape one which also contains Everclear. The other night, I was convinced that I needed to Taste the Rainbow (not sure if we made up this name or they gave it this name), but it was all the flavors mixed together. This is SERIOUSLY the way to go! I don't know what percentage of alcohol is in it, but I can tell you that 2-3 of these bad-boys will make you VERY happy (possibly a little TOO happy). In addition to slushies, City Tavern has cheaper beer prices, a decent on-tap selection, and 2-for-1 happy hour apps on certain days. Their cheese fries are some of my favorite anywhere - tons and tons of cheese on fresh cut fries, with a very delicious ranch dressing. They also have good onion rings and pickles. Even without happy hour, their food and drink prices are pretty reasonable for a bar downtown. Apparently they also have trivia night if you're into that sort of thing. Now, I will admit, on a busy night it can quickly get dirty in here. I will be the first person to say that the service is not always great here. If you open a tab at the bar, you have to order at the bar and your food is served at the bar (however, you need only tell the bartender that you want to transfer your tab to the wait staff and he or she should do that). The interior is dark, they only have the high tables, and it is not terribly big in here. The bathrooms are certainly not the nicest either. However, this is a bar; who goes to bars for the clean bathrooms anyway?? Overall, I give it 3.5 stars.

City Tavern, or Tassey's as it is properly called, is a Greenville landmark for me. You are guaranteed to run into old friends and likely to find a few new ones as well here. I'm happy to spend the whole night listening (or sometimes dancing) to their live music and stationed up at a table or booth at this gem of a dive bar. There are a few important rules to remember here: Rule 1. Take caution when you order a Tiger. One tiger=a good night Two tigers= automatic hangover Three tigers=certain death Rule 2. Always order cheese fries with extra ranch dressing. The ranch dressing that comes with the infamous cheese fries is the most addictive substance known to man. Put a bowl of cheese fries on the table and it will be annihilated in under 5 minutes. Rule 3. Remember City Tavern is an actual restaurant too. Sure its a little dirty around the edges, but the food is actually good and its a fun place to sit on the patio on Main Street and watch a game. I love City Tavern. I can't help it.

If I could give this place negative stars i would. I was on a business trip in Greenville and we went out for drinks after our company dinner. The atmosphere and crowd was great for a Monday night. They had karaoke going on which was pretty cool. The DJ had a music trivia game going in which the players would wear headphones and would guess the song playing in the head phones. The on lookers had the opportunity to listen to what was being played in the head phones and the instructions were to not blurt out the answer, however the natural instinct is to do so. After doing that twice by accident, the DJ then looks over at myself and the crowd I was with and said to shut the F*** up, then said to the restaurant to say it with him. Once again he said shut the F*** Up. Know I understand that we did break the rules, but I feel that a customer should never be talked to in the matter. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone.

I love this place. The bartenders are friendly and attentive. They have some of the best bar food in town and generous portions. They have recently updated inside and looks great. I do wish they would get rid of that 1950s facade on the outside, even a coat of paint on it wouldn't hurt. I guess that's what makes it a good dive bar.

If you are ever talking to someone and they recommend "City Tavern" to you, they clearly do not know Tassies. Though the owner, Scott, doesn't like it when people call it this, Tassies is like a code word among regulars. It's a must-go for any 21st birthday-a tiger in the tank will always get your night started off right and the cheese fries are hands down some of the best bar food on this side of the reedy. Not a place to spend the entire night-definitely a dive-but an institution nonetheless. Just don't have 3+ tigers unless you don't want to know where you'll wake up...trust me.

The memories... Oh.The.Memories... I frequented this bar many weekends, almost religiously. My drink of choice was a "Tiger in the Tank". Although this was nearly three years ago, I am glad to see this place is still operating and still serving my drink of choice. This place is perfect for meetup place to kick off the weekend bar crawl of Greenville. The food on my last visit was well above, what you would expect from a bar.

What a dump....and I don't mean that in a good way. I mean, I'm all for a good dive bar, but this place is a dump. They have a great downtown location, but have done nothing to improve the place...ever. All the bar chairs are torn up with the padding coming out. I was wearing a skirt, and didn't dare sit for fear of slicing my leg on the shards of torn pleather. All the tables are sticky. They are apparently "famous" for their slurpee-like frozen beverages, but that's not enough to hang your hat on. Their only redeeming feature is that they are one of the few places in town that has "Naked Photo Hunt". You know those bar top game units that have all the quiz games to play while you're drinking? This is the adult version...if you catch my drift. Alas, the last time I was here, even the game machine wasn't working correctly, so we all finished our one beer and moved on to better places...

I'll go ahead and admit, this is one of my favorite watering holes in Greenville. If you're looking to be seen this isn't your place. However, if you're looking for somewhere to relax with a couple drinks and have a good time with friends then definitely stop by. The frozen drinks are always popular, but I usually stick to draft beer. Though its a fairly small number of taps they have a good selection of beers. I also recommend the food. Standard bar food selection but well done and affordable.

Prepare to be robbed. There is one particular bartender that works here who insists on trying to gouge you for your money. One time I sat for and hour and a half and had 4 beers. When I asked for my tab it said I had 9 beers!!! I inquired about this explaining that it would be impossible for me to have that many drinks in such a short period of time (or at all if I wanted to be able to walk and know my name). Her answer to me was, " Well you were drinking at a pretty good clip." Seriously? She insisted that I pay the tab. I actually had to go back another time after that since my friends wanted their frozen drinks. I ordered two beers for me and a friend, handed her $20. She rang in the beers which totaled up to $6. She continued talking with her friends, took the change out of the register and then put it in her tip cup! Look, I am generous but who is going to leave a $14 tip for two beers? I called her over an asked for my change and she said, "oh, sorry". Keep your eyes open and pay cash if you are going to drink here.

Walked in on a Saturday afternoon and asked if the kitchen was open. The "server" said, "Yes", and asked us what we wanted to drink. Told her we would need a second. She laid menus on the bar and went to the other end of the empty bar for ten minutes to chat with other employees. When she came back, we ordered a couple of cokes and appetizers, deep-fried jalapeno slices and cheese sticks. When they came out, she set them on the bar, where we had to retrieve them. When we needed more marinara, we had to go to the far end of the bar to track her down again. Nothing special here, just a crappy college bar. Nothing interesting on the menu, and all the drink specials I saw are for kiddy drinks designed to hide the alcohol from the girls drinking it, or bud light. Not a lot of TV's. Dark, dirty, and run down.

In our search for a true "dive" in Greenville we were told to check out City Tavern....it was supposed to be a great little bar with surprisingly good and effective frozen drinks... Upon entering I was struck by all the ripped chairs...c'mon people, if you can't afford new chairs at least duct tape them...no one wants to sit in that...and the empty beer bottles scattered on unoccupied tables...I am a bit confused if dirty was mistaken for dive... Not wanting to sit at a sticky table with ripped chairs we decided to stand at the bar...sadly we did not get to try a drink as the bartender was too busy talking to the other patrons at the bar to help us and no other staff could be located...after five minutes of holding out our money "bar style" and some uncomfortable staring we moved on... And I guess the bartender was too busy to wipe the sticky bar as well...

CT wins the award for worst use of premium real estate. The term 'dive bar' would be generous in this case. Dive bars don't exist in premium locations such as this one. If you want to watch a game, this is easily the worst place possible - it looks like they get their feed from a piece of tin foil. I'm not sure who own's this place, or who hires the staff - but the patrons are the staff and vice versa. No real service here.

Stopped to watch the 4th qtr of the Falcons game. Been here 30 minutes on the patio and no one has offered to take an order. Guess a woman and a dog are assumed to be broke? The guy has been out to smoke three times . Doesn't matter, I'll watch the end of the game and then stop down the street.

Those of you who drafted earlier reviews are obviously Furman douce bags. Or you were here when Furman douce bags had taken the place over, as they do too often.

This place was a college hang out for me. Derive what you want about the quality and vibe from that statement. Tigers in the Tank (orange slushy drink with bunches of booze) have become a routine for any night I spend out in Greenville. I've also mowed done some awesome (at least they were at the time) bar food munchies here. Rob is a legit bartender as well. This place get's real crowded on the weekends. If you can get a table and pony up on the patio, it is a sweet people watching perch.
