Hickory Tavern
Hickory Tavern is our classic American story of how a couple of guys, who didn't like their options, built something that became bigger than we ever dreamed possible. See, we wanted to hang out in a place that let us watch the sports we wanted to watch, have a couple of cold beers, eat great food and get great service. Never being the types to settle for something that wasn't quite what we wanted, we invented something new. We created a social gathering spot that is driven by events and is centered around lively bars. It's a place that serves great food and has a passion for sports, entertainment and good times!
