I think the term tavern is not a designation at all. It is used regardless the make up of the business entity......just as the word resort is used and abused by many establishments that do not come close to measuring up to what is a pecieved intent.

North/South or any where else on the compass, sounds like a bar that serves food or an eating establishment that serves booze.
