Imaginative pairings of high-end pub grub & specialty beers offered in a funky, historic building.
Dusek’s Tavern is an old school tavern that has everything you would expect from a good bar. Our tavern fare is flavorful and honest, made with intentionally sourced ingredients from people who care, for people we care about. We offer classic cocktails, liquor beverages, cold beer and natural wine.
With a nod to the building’s history, Dusek’s hopes to bring a comfortable food experience to this re-established corner tavern. Our corner spot echos the same neighborhood spirit of Mr. Dusek’s time where his family tavern once lived and breathed.
