I typically avoid Chinook Mall for a number of reasons:
1) I'm a guy
2) Malls are avoided by myself and most guys I know
3) It's always busy
4) I'm a guy
The only reason I ever go to Chinook not against my will is to see a movie. For Christmas shopping as well, I always make it an Amazon Christmas. What guy doesn't want to play Bioshock while he does Christmas shopping?
Nevertheless, I ended up at the mall again for another dose of Guardians. I arrived a bit early so decided beer was in order. It was after 12pm so don't judge.
State & Main has been here for a while, so I decided to give it a try. Walking in, I was greeted by 3 ladies and promptly taken into the bar side with a menu. The man at the bar was the size of an average gladiator. I believe his name was Nick. He greeted me quickly and had a tasty beer in front of me even faster.
During my time there, the food I ordered was great, Nick was probably the best bartender I'd ever had. Don't worry; I'm still awesome. Everything works out in the end. Extra star for me? No? Damn. Great food is not awesome food, so 4 stars and a huge thank you to this place. Extra star for Nick and an odd 5 star for this place based quite a bit on service. Will I be back at the mall? Ummmmm...ummmm... I hate it, but perhaps I will.
