    The Highland Tavern is the best kept secret in Gloucester City. We like things plain, simple and inexpensive. Come enjoy a game of pool or a round darts with friends and a beer any day of the week.

      Kenny ask Raymond the cook if he was able to make him a Texas Tommy, he came thru, it was really good. Should be on the menu.

      This is a definite goto spot in Gloucester. Sits in a neighborhood, not on a main street in Gloucester. Always a great staff and a good group of people at the bar. Definitely worth checking out when you are in beautiful Gloucester City!

      Even though this a local, regulars tap room, you feel welcome here, service is very prompt and courteous, and sandwiches are excellent. Very inexpensive.

      Want to have the experience of drinking with strangers but feeling like you are sitting in your living room well then this is the place for you. Good local bar, great service, inexpensive drinks. Bring your friends and don't tell them this is a bar and watch their surprised look when they think you are walking into someone's home.

      This really is the Best Kept Secret in Gloucester City. The FB address just tells you to go to Orlando Ave, but the address may actually be 308 Orlando.
      This bar is inside a normal looking house. They took out the living room and installed a nice oval bar. You would never assume that this normal looking home contains a bar as this is a normal looking neighborhood.
      A must go to for any dive bar affcianado.

      First timer and not my last. Daniel is a great bartender. Greets you when you come in and is very attentive to making sure you are ok. Enjoyed my football games. The atmosphere is great, relaxing and non chaotic. The wings were great and better than other places that i have been. What i love the most is that it is walking distance for me on a bad night. The patrons are friendly and it is a place where you can have a good time at.

      Stopped in, never been here before. Beer was cold, food was great. Limited menu right now had to roast beef and fries they were very good not being a roast beef person. people were nice, Will definitely stop back in

      Second visit just as good as the first. Beer was still cold had a meatball sub special was very good and the crab fries were on point. Chelsea was making sure my beer stays cold and full

      I stop in for lunch when I'm in the area. Very friendly staff . Generous portions for the price & the food is really good. Just a nice local bar, very clean & there are several tv's that have sports on. Good selection of draft & bottled beers.
