| - Wheelfish is a great local bar/ restaurant with top of the line food and drink. As another reviewer mentioned, the food is not your typical bar fare, but delicious smoked meats and home cooked sides. I personally got the smoked chicken and sweet potato fries. Although it is true, these items are separate, I think my meal was only around $15, which is what you would pay if these items were sold together. Both were piping hot, chicken was super juicy, and fries crisped to perfection.
Even better than the food was a specialty drink called "Make my Mule Mexican." At first I thought this was tequila based, but to my delight it was not. It was a delicious vodka mule with a dash of jalapeno, to cut the sweetness of the mule. They have lots of craft beer for the beer snobs, but also reasonably priced American drafts for the traditionalists.
When I visited Wheelfish, it was right after the opening, and although there were only two girls working, they ran their butts off, we stayed hydrated and had a great time listening to some live music. I was happy to hear that they do plan on expanding the menu to inculde more share-ables as they get some kinks worked out.
I loved visiting this neighborhood bar, with such an eclectic feel.
