| - Went here the second Wednesday of the year, as part of "we haven't eaten here on Wednesday". I know a couple of people working here, so was excited to see what their new ventures out be.
We ordered some apps, and both got individual pizzas.
Kridz got a beer, I had whiskey.
One thing I noticed right away, was that while the tap handle arrangement looks interesting, it's going to cause a lot of waste of beer. The taps are above the bar, a good 2 feet above the splash/drain. So, when pouring, the server doesn't have any time to let the beer clear out. (when pouring a beer on draft, the first second or so has a lot of carbon dioxide, if you can let this part splash into the drain, the beer will then pour very nicely. If you don't let that part run out, then you will routinely fill a glass with a lot of foam, once the rest of the beer hits that foamy section, it will foam up too, and you wind up trying to splash out the foam, then fill with beer, then splash, then fill..., well, with the system that high above the drain, you can't do it very well, and it causes a lot of beer waste).
The appetizers were ok, nothing spectacular, seemed like just things that were all deep fried.
The pizza was ok too. To me, it reminded me of Totino's Party Pizza. The crust had the same feel as that, and the sauce even reminded me of it. As a kid, me and my siblings would routinely come across some frozen pizzas that had sauce that tasted a bit too sweet, instead of tomato, it presented with a hint of watermelon. We called it watermelon pizza. This sauce reminded me of that.
They have a lunch buffet, which will probably be very popular with the students over at Parkland, as there isn't very much for food options in that expanding campus area.
