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.

☕ What in Tarnation are you doing this Sunday morning?

It’s Labor Day weekend, so start the day with breakfast, hot coffee, and nowhere you need to rush off to.

Breakfast is served from 9–11:30 AM. And if that coffee happens to need a little extra help waking you up… spiking it is always an option.

Come hungry and enjoy the long weekend with us. 😏
