Harlem Tavern

This biergarten-style tavern at 116th and Frederick Douglass fills an outdoor patio in warm months alongside indoor seating, with a menu that runs from buttermilk fried chicken and burgers to a build-your-own mac and cheese topped with grilled steak or barbecue pulled pork. The kitchen also does cedar-planked salmon and a truffle burger, backed by a craft beer and wine list. A happy hour runs weekday afternoons, and reservations are recommended on weekends when the patio fills up.
