| - Plum is an area that for a long time was in desperate need of a good place to eat, and a nice upscale bar. Eighty Acres is a fantastic bar serving a wide variety of beer, wine, and top shelf liquors.
From the outside the building doesn't look like much, but inside you find a very modern yet natural decor. It isn't gaudy or elaborate, but it has a very nice clean feel about it. The bar is large, beautiful, and is really the focal point of the establishment.
The menu isn't huge but it provides lots of local and organic offerings. The Bison Burger in particular was wonderful. Most times they feel sort of like a gimmick, and too dry, but this burger is something else. It is really a masterpiece on a bun. Succulent, juicy, and perfectly cooked and at a reasonable $9 I will be back for many more.
The dish I tried that shocked me the most was the meatloaf. It wasn't like what mother used to make, which in the case of my mother is a very good thing. It was rich and piping hot and served in a large portion.
Stop in if you are tired of the typical dive bar offerings you have on this stretch and you will be surprised how affordable this hidden gem really is.
And of course if you love the Farm to Table concept, hormone free, and supporting small new businesses this is the place to go. The owners are often working and are wonderful to talk to. Ask them how the place got it's name it's a great story that I could not do justice on Yelp!
