| - Went here only once, but it left a fairly strong impression. I'd recently discovered Yelp and found myself taking notes through the whole thing about things I wanted to say - then I threw that away and decided to go w/ my gut. I mention that, because it feel like that's what this place is like - someone originally had this list of the detailed things that needed to be included, then they just sort of scraped that and did something in between. It wants to be upscale (to pay the rent and bring in the chicks) but in the end it's a bar with tons of beer and upscale bar food. When it comes to food (this is where the list comes in) they have everything - burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, seafood, chicken fried chicken, mac & cheese, rice bowl, steaks, ribs and a bevy of desert options. I mean - really? What made you decide you needed to tackle a menu that big? Trying to compete w/ Cheesecake factory? Pricing is about the same as well - but serving sizes are not. These are smaller.
I'll be honest - the food was pretty good. Our server was particularly helpful in helping the guys plow their way through the beer lists. They didn't sing for his birthday (BIG plus!) but they totally respected that it was a special occasion dinner. As the night went on, my brother's only complaint was that for a place that specialized in beer, the bathroom shouldn't have been so far away from where folks sit - located by the front door. I thought that was a noble observation, even if he was slurring a bit as he mentioned it...
