If the previous reviewer knew anything about Shakespeare they would know that phallic references and other bawdy comedy was the norm. The majority of the Bard's audience was uneducated, so sexual jokes usually got the best reaction. Give the Tavern a second look, maybe the specific play wasn't to your liking, and if you don't want the food, they don't make you buy it-you can always eat before you go.
Pros: actors are approachable, ambience, educational
Cons: parking is a bit incovenient, food is good but a bit expensive
