Tavern on Jane is a convivial, unpretentious neighborhood bar and grill.
The skewed angle of the old floor, the nicotine-laminated brick walls and ceiling, and the fireplace create a cheery, almost Dickensian image. Although the atmosphere tends to outweigh the familiar food, the menu is a reliable step above pub grub.
