Sitting in Market Street Tavern, I feel very much at home. I have been an avid attendee of this place since its beginning two years ago. Granted, I was easily lured by half-price wine on Wednesday nights and its proximity to UTC. The tavern and its wine list stood out like a beacon in the night to the distressed grad student, and quickly became a part of our weekly routine.
Wine aside, I was won over by the quality of their menu and the refreshing sounds of live jazz. Of course, if you put wine, jazz, and food quality together with a pretty swank décor, a place can become intimidating and cold.
Fortunately, Market Street is not one of those places. They go from frat bar, to hipster hangout, to mountain music hall, all in the course of the week, and that doesn’t even cover the weekends. I can say for Market Street Tavern that it definitely has eclectic taste, and because of that, it brings in a wide range of people.
Somehow this restaurant/venue/bar/hangout has avoided falling into a predictable category. You really can’t label Market as being any one particular thing. Trust me, I’ve mulled over this for the last hour and it just cannot be done.
