a year agoShady Side Tavern, located on Route 309 in Dallas, Pennsylvania, is a casual bar and grill featuring a wide assortment of alcoholic beverages along with bar-food favorites like pizza, hot subs, burgers, and more. We arrived shortly after 6:30 p.m. and was hit with the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. The dimly-lit bar was completely filled with patrons and ashtrays, and to the right of the entrance was a cigarette machine. Walking past this relic, we entered the dining area, which featured a few high tables with bar stools. The room was also occupied by a shuffleboard, dart board, and video gambling machines. We decided on some pizza with onions, and had to go to the bar to order. The bartender – who was very pleasant – took my order, telling me she would bring it out once it was ready. The pizza consisted of 12 large, thick, pan-fried slices with plenty of diced onions and sauce. The pizza was heavy and the taste was average. The sauce was very acidic and the cheese wasn’t really distributed evenly, and would slide off the dough after a bite. After finishing our meal, I went to the bar to pay. There was a bit of a wait, as the bar was filled with customers (in fact, it was standing room only in that section) and only one bartender available.We left the smoke-filled bar into some refreshing fresh air. The Shady Side Tavern is a neighborhood dive bar and by no means a date night establishment. One goes there to drink, grab a bite to eat, and play pool, shuffleboard, or darts. Everyone there was enjoying themselves, but if you’re a non-smoker or allergic to cigarette smoke, this place would not be tolerable. Although I doubt I’ll return, it would be hospitable to those who enjoy having a few smokes, a few drinks, and a simple atmosphere. Back in my younger days, perhaps I would've been a repeat customer.

2 years agoThe food is so good! The pizza is the best. And the crispy wings are great. I highly recommend stopping here to order food! The service was good. And the food came out hot and fresh in a timely manner. They do allow smoking inside the bar, so just keep that in mind (that's the only downside). Aside from that, it's a great place to stop.

3 years agoFriendly customers and staff, it's a typical smoking bar with pool, darts, gaming machines and "pay for" music. I bought a 6 cut fried pizza, to go, totally yummy! It wasn't too smoky when I was there, but there was only about 10 to 15 people there. I do not like smoke but I stayed for about an hour and it wasn't too bad. I'll stop back on non crowed nights again and certainly get more pizza.
