High Pointe Restaurant & Tavern

High Pointe Restaurant & Tavern sits on Youngstown Warren Road in the historic heart of Niles, Ohio, just a short drive from the bustling downtown of Youngstown and the scenic banks of the Mahoning River. Housed in a renovated 1920s brick building, the interior blends warm reclaimed wood, exposed steel beams, and vintage tavern signage, creating a welcoming atmosphere for families, couples, and groups of friends. The menu, crafted by Chef Michael Thompson, showcases classic American comfort food with a modern twist: hand‑pressed burgers topped with locally sourced cheddar, slow‑roasted pork shoulder sandwiches, fresh Atlantic salmon salads, and a daily “Pointe Special” that rotates between chicken piccata, shrimp étouffée, and vegetarian quinoa bowls. The tavern side boasts an extensive craft‑beer list featuring Ohio breweries such as Great Lakes Brewing Company, Hoppin’ Frog, and local micro‑brewery Niles Ale Works, as well as a curated selection of wines and classic cocktails. Open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., the restaurant offers a moderate $$ price range, making it an ideal spot for weekday lunches or weekend dinner gatherings. Guests can enjoy a cozy patio overlooking a small garden, free Wi‑Fi, and live acoustic music on Saturday evenings. With a 4‑star rating from over 750 reviewers, High Pointe is praised for its friendly service, generous portions, and the inviting blend of restaurant and tavern vibes that capture the spirit of the Mahoning Valley.
