Tarnation Tavern has taken the history of the Corner Bar and combined it with our famous Charley Cat Chicken, fantastic live music, and landed right in the heart of downtown River Falls, Wi. We are a gathering place for rotating craft brews, full bar service, and an extensive whiskey selection. Charley Cat Chicken is crispy fried to perfection and offered in a variety of flavors ranging from Southern Fried to Nashville hot, and everything in between. Looking for Mav's wings? We've got you covered! Not looking for chicken? Check out our locally sourced fresh burgers aged to perfection, as well as our 'Dawgs' selection - something for everyone! Check out our events to stay up-to-date on our live music - bringing you the area's most talented musicians. We bring you a wide variety of music to get you on the dance floor from Top 40 hits, country, and classic rock.

🍫🔥 National Dessert Day deserves something a little over the top.

Our S’mores Flatbread starts with an Italian Pinsa crust topped with Nutella and toasted marshmallows for the perfect mix of warm, gooey, crispy, and sweet.

Save room. This one is absolutely worth it. 😋

🎶 Jeff Loven takes the stage Friday at 8 PM with a one-man show that somehow feels like a full band.

Big vocals, killer guitar work, and the kind of performance that pulls the whole room in. Come early for dinner, grab a drink, and get settled before he starts.

And who knows, someone might even walk out with a brand-new car.

A Matchbox car, that is. 🚗
