The White House Tavern

Since opening last year, the Tavern, located in a tidy little Victorian on East Hopkins, has made a name for itself for its “seriously awesome” crispy chicken sandwich and burgers, and large portions. The menu, while brief, covers all the bases- kale salad, “Macho Salad,” (roasted chicken, mixed greens, avocado, dates, goat cheese, toasted almonds, fresh corn), chicken meatballs, hand-cut fries, iron-skillet beans. The wine and cocktails lists have some nice offerings, and the blonde-wood-paneled walls and stylish trappings made this rustic-mod space a pleasant, kinda sexy place to hang for a casual lunch or dinner.
