Midway Tavern

About This Establishment

Midway Tavern crackles with casual, local-bar energy. The Reuben sandwich stacks generous meat with a charred edge and a briny bite that snaps. The Big Bacon Cheese Burger delivers a hefty chew and a smoky finish; Halibut Tacos glow with fresh fish and crisp shells; the Pork Sandwich stays tender with herbal lift. A friendly, family-friendly vibe pairs with table service and a full bar to keep the crowd happy.
