| - I've always had a blast here!
I am not a gay man. My female friends are not gay men. And the Fantastic Mr. It's Complicated is not a gay man. Yes, Roscoes is a gay bar. But I've always been made to feel welcome, no matter who I am there with.
The drinks are consistent with a well stocked full bar, service is quick, bathroom is clean (the ladies' room, anyway!) and they've done a nice job of putting together the smoking patio out back.
On the most recent visit (Sunday late morning about a week ago), food was part of the game plan. I was a little nervous about bar food - especially right after waking up - with only alcohol in my belly. (Don't judge!)
Fantastic Mr. It's Complicated and I opted to split the breakfast plate with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and rye toast. It was a good decision since it was a lot of food. But - it was so good, I resented having to share it! The eggs, bacon, sausage and toast were all well prepared and tasty - but those hash browns - WOW! Fresh, crispy and so flavorful. Among the best hash browns I've ever had.
I took two turns at the build your own Bloody Mary bar - one of my favorite things about Sundays brunch! Sure - I could rave about the drink - but to get one like it, you'd have to invite me and buy me one - I'd be happy to make one for you, too!
Our other companion (coincidentally, a gay man) had an order of the chicken wings.
THEY.ARE.HUGE. I don't know that I've seen chicken wings that plump and meaty - and they smelled great!
Not too many sports bars put a lot of energy into serving good food - and maybe that's the advantage of getting grub at a gay bar?
No matter - whether for a quick drink, rounds of birthday shots with the girlfriends, or a football playoff Sunday brunch - I am definitely a fan of Roscoe's!
