Description

Hanson's is the sort of place you find one night when every other table in the neighborhood is booked, then return to whenever you have an open Friday and no reservations. For families out for a fast, easy dinner; for big, rowdy gangs of college kids looking for their own rathskeller; for solo drinkers seeking a place where everyone knows their name - Hanson's is good on all those counts. Bottom line, it's a proper bar and grill with strong drinks, comfortable booths, a good happy hour, plenty of cheap diversions and a welcoming attitude.

2004 | Best Bar Burger With All the Trimmings

It's Friday night on Old South Pearl, and you forgot to make dinner reservations. Have no fear: There's always room for you at Hanson's. This idealized, college-town neighborhood bar comes complete with a great crowd, plenty of history (it used to be the legendary Oak Alley Inn) and the best bar burger in town. Ten ounces of grilled ground chuck, a soft kaiser roll and a side of the kitchen's zucchini fries are just the beginning, because what truly makes Hanson's special are the high-end... More »
2003 | Best Place to Go When You're Waiting to Be Seated Somewhere Else

Single-handedly saving South Pearl from the yuppie invasion, Hanson's Grill and Tavern offers a comfortable oasis amid all the SUVs and boob jobs. After its opening last summer (in the former home of the beloved Oak Alley Inn), this mellow neighborhood eatery quickly became a favorite of construction workers and corporate types, frat boys and professors on hiatus, drunken poets and families out for a night on the town at a place where they don't have to show off their new nipple piercings...

Sweating the Small Stuff

By Jason Sheehan | Thu, January 22, 2004

No, no...Jason, you gotta listen. This place, it's going to be great! We've got a chef coming in from Suriname. I don't even know where that is, and the guy doesn't speak a word of English, but he makes this yak-butter soup you won't believe!" I... More »
Small Bites

By Jason Sheehan | Thu, March 06, 2003

If you're wondering what to do with those two hours before a table opens up at Lola (see review, page 67), Jamey Fader's yuppie-dense Mexican fish shack, here's a suggestion: Head to Hanson's Grill and Tavern, just down the road to 1301 South Pear... More »

I love the green chili and refried beans! They literally have the longest happy hour in town and best happy hour meal deals too! A neighborhood joint, the waitstaff rocks and I always bump into someone I know. Check it out!!!
