| - I felt the need to review this place only because there are two reviews at the moment and the star rating is not at all indicative of my experience. Otherwise, I would have refrained altogether - because when you find a quality local bar you don't talk about it...like Fight Club.
Bottom-line, I had a good time on a Saturday night. The drinks were the right price, there are pool tables, and the wings are the shit (don't listen to that other reviewer).
The wings: perfectly fried if you enjoy that fall-off-the-bone, crispy type of wing. The sauces are relatively uninspired classic staples, which is perfect for a local bar, right? If you're craving that hipster molasses, peanut butter and fried kale style, don't come here. Did I mention they're cheap? They're 35 cents cheap, depending on the night.
Pool tables: go ahead and search for pool tables on the north side of the city. You come up empty handed. They have 2 here and @50 cents/game.
Drinks: They DO NOT have draft beer. Before you jump to conclusions and assume that's a bad thing, think about this: this place is small and draft systems are dirty. Plus, most local bars only have American style light lagers on draft anyway. The bottled beer they keep is fresh. And, I was pleasantly surprised to have been offered 4 different seasonal beers (and not the gimmicky ones).
Take it or leave it. Maybe not show up at all because the neighborhood is unsavory. I don't care. I'll be there enjoying the fresh, cheap beers and crispy wings that you're missing out on.
