Red Stag Tavern’s friendly staff eagerly accommodates patrons by serving a selection of filling pub fare and comfort foods. Guests can roll reading orbs over the menu to achieve their daily reading quota and to pick one of 10 appetizers, such as roasted tomato and lobster dip or the Cajun chicken quesadilla. For a main course, diners can sink incisors into a half-pound chuck sirloin blended burger such as the mushroom medley, or belly tackle a veggie burger crested with garlic-basil sauce and goat cheese. The syllabus of entrees also presents pan-seared Digby scallops and the Stag Head shepherd’s pie, prepared with braised sirloin tips. Patrons can put a capper on the culinary carnival with selections from the roster of house-made desserts that, like nature’s laws, change daily, or with a mainstay such as a slice of New York–style cheesecake.

Red Stag’s booths—surrounded by brick or old stone walls—ensconce table denizens, and flat-screen TVs glow with the big game. On Thursdays and Fridays, live music bounces off the walls as patrons shake one or both legs.
