| - I've got such a storied history with Broken City.
It's the only bar I've ever had staff threaten to throw me out of ... for sleeping. Turns out the staff mistook my exhaustion for drunkenness and decided that the best thing to do to a man catching Z's would be to toss him outside in the cold. I don't hold it against them though, you can't have people violently occupying back corners of your venue with their slumber.
I saw The Acorn here and loved the show - but was asked for a sparring match by a 5'3 hipster chick who objected to the way I snaked past her to get to the front. I'd apologize that my shoulder made contact with your face, darling, but YOU are the one who drunkenly propelled your head into me while I walked past, not the other way around. She asked me if I was "proud of myself" and was less than enthused to hear me say, "yes, I think I've accomplished a lot for being 22."
Classic.
I've played bingo here and watched as winners received 70's adult mags as prizes. I'm pretty sure my band played here once too.
But for all of that, BC's been kind of a disappointment lately. Their happy hour, mind you, is great. $5.00 pints of steamwhistle? Well boy howdy, I can go for that.
But their food has become underwhelming at best. As a burger lover, I've got to say that their new burgers taste more like enormous meatballs than burgers. I stopped by last night for their Inferno Burger and was confused to see that it didn't even come with lettuce or tomato. Sort of just.. brown on brown on more brown.
The other fun part of coming here is that you can play "Spin the wheel on the stereotype", and 9 times out of 10, that's who comes to serve you. Jaded hipster with Bright Eyes haircut? Nailed it! Roller Derby babe with cheek piercings?! You got it, mister! Metal kid with hair longer than your mom? Yes-siree, there's one of those too!
Service is usually pretty friendly, though not always prompt. Don't touch the tables with your bare hands and then eat anything. Just don't.
I head rave reviews about the veggie patty, and apparently the chef is vegan so you can be sure of its authenticity. Whatever.
At the end of the day, I'll probably only wind up here for shows that come through. The food just isn't much of a draw, though they've got some really great theme nights (Bingo is a great time!)
For now I've got to score B/C average - I hope they can spice it up in the future.
