Your kind
of people.
Connection is the whole point. Whether you're a neighborhood regular or walking through our door for the first time, you'll find a space completely free from attitude — and full of genuine community.
We're an LGBTQ+ bar where strangers become friends and everyone belongs. Queer, allied, and everything in between — the door's always open.

Cold drinks.
Hot deals.
Great drinks shouldn't come with pretension or a punishing price tag. Our beverage program puts quality first — classic cocktails, local craft beers, and everyday specials that keep your tab light and your night going.
$4 tall boys. $5 Jager, Fireball, and Malort all day. Happy Hour Fridays 5–8PM. Because you deserve a genuinely great drink in a genuinely great space.

shouldn't cost a fortune.
We believe the best bar is the one that works for everyone. Affordable drinks, free entertainment, zero cover — that's not a special event. That's every night at Meeting House Tavern.
Always.

Respect the
space.
Meeting House Tavern is a place for everyone — and keeping it that way is a shared responsibility. We ask all guests to treat one another with kindness, respect our staff, and help protect the welcoming environment that makes this bar special to our entire community.
Our rules aren't here to restrict your good time. They're here to protect it.
Safe space · Inclusive community · Zero tolerance for hate
No drugs.
No dealing.
No exceptions.
Any patron found using or attempting to distribute drugs will be immediately removed from the premises.
Subsequent violations result in a permanent ban from all 2Bears Tavern Group locations. This policy exists to protect the community we've spent years building — and we enforce it without hesitation.
If you see something, tell a staff member or manager immediately.
