Harvey’s Tavern & Pizza Kitchen

Sniff sniff I miss this place, Audrey, John and the pizza. Please open another place Audrey.

this place is absolutely bizarre. and i say that having lived in montana, idaho, and west virginia and having spent lots of time in dive bars in each of them.
stepping into harvey’s is like stepping through a portal. it IS a dive bar… but it’s not even a normal dive bar. i can’t really sum it up without pictures, but for starters — the place is filled with tweety bird memorabilia scattered haphazardly, a broken computer monitor or two and maybe 3 industrial-​size sacks of flour stacked against the wall. and it’s super bright inside. that’s the ambiance.
it’s a really small place — with a few booths, but every time i’ve ever been there, everyone just sits at the bar. the owner’s son has always been tending bar when i’m there — and the dude is immensely entertaining. if you go to harvey’s — be ready for a dialog. you’ll probably interact with everybody else there before the night is done — and for that, it’s actually kind of refreshing.
and the pizza. yes. it’s excellent. and truly made by hand. the process is pretty elaborate, and the end result is probably worth the wait. i wouldn’t recommend the shrimp pizza… but…geezus, why did we order a shrimp pizza anyway? that’s really more our fault. i’d stick with more standard toppings.
and the beer. ice cold. and kept ice cold because the aforementioned barkeep trades out your schooner before you can even finish it. i’ve never seen anything like it. you get down to an inch in your glass and he pours it into a new frosted glass instantly. i’ve never seen this in any other bar.

Harvey’s Tavern is closed. Just and FYI to those who might want to know…
THE BEST PIZZA IN TOWNE!
But beware, the bar is like a lonley hole in the wall on any other day but when John Henery’s Hammer strums some tunes live.

If you like real old fashioned deep dish pizzeria pizza, you know, like how Pizza Hut used to be when you would sit down as a kid and wait for about eight and a half years for your pizza to cook but when it came out it was the best you ever had, then this is your place. They have the coldest ice cold Rainier on tap. If you get a pitcher they’ll replace your once frosty schooner glass with a fresh cold one half way through the pitcher. It’s cozy and woody and very «old Seatte» inside and Audrey is the cutest young lady bartender you’ve ever seen, Tweety Bird and all!
