| - I liked this place better when it was a Blockbuster video store. The couple of times I have visited this restaurant it wasn't busy and it's very clear why... this place SUCKS.
Let's start with the wings. The hottest wing sauce is surprisingly hot (which I like) but the wings tasted terrible. I've ordered wings from here three times and each time they had the wings ready in about 7-10 minutes, meaning they heat them up rather than deep frying them... the difference? Dried out wings!! If you're a fan of wings you know what I'm talking about. You're a sports pub and you can't make the wings right!
Second, the atmosphere. The bartenders are hit and miss... one day I had a nice woman serve me, she showed a personality and knew how to be a bartender. Although the last time I visited there the bartender was a different girl who never stood behind the bar for more than 30 seconds, never spoke to anyone and showed no personality. Now if you're going to be a sports bar then hire someone that makes you feel at home!
Third, the drinks. My mother visited this place with her friends and tried a specialty mix drink from their menu and she said, "it was awful!!". Again, if you're going to be sports bar, learn to mix the drinks properly!
Finally, you may have noticed that I said that I've visited this place several times, so why did I keep coming back? Because I was hoping my previous experiences were a fluke. In fact I spaced out my visits to give them the benefit of the doubt. It still sucked. I wanted this place to succeed because it's close to home and in a great location but unfortunately it's a real disappointment.
If you're looking for a sports pub with good food, go down the road to The Tavern of Stow, or even Bellacino's. Go anywhere, just not here.
