| - I don't want to be too unfair to this place - I suppose if I was still a 20-something looking to get blitzed in a non-dive bar that was inexplicably decorated by the Sportsmen's Guide, this would be the place that I would head to.
However, this time it was just me and the wife some randomly stopping in a place to have some food and drink while watching the Steelers game. It wasn't really good for this purpose.
First the good parts. The table service was fine, and we enjoyed the food. She had a steak hoagie and fries, that while over priced at $14.95, was enormous and quite good. I had a plate of wings, which were also good. Obviously nothing special to them, Franks and some spices on a nice, meaty wing. Wings are not something that you have to do spiff to get right. And these were definitely done right. Also, $2 New Castle drafts were a nice surprise.
The AV system was a disappointment. Yes, they had several TVs, but some seats did not have a clear view. None of the TVs were HD. The sound system was awful. The DJs PA system, aimed at ear-level, crank several levels too loud for the size of the room and the number of people in it. Shoddy and unprofessional.
When we moved to the bar, things went downhill. First of all, the drink special actually ended two hours into the game. Now, in a practical sense, this meant my draft price went from really cheap to cheap, so I don't have much to complain about. However, I think it's just good customer service to inform the customer when a special price is ending. And that's the main problem I had with this place. The bar service was dreadful. There were always 3 or 4 bartenders, and at most one of them could be seen actually serving a customer at any time. I literally had to try multiple times to wave down one of the wandering bartenders in a 3/4 empty bar just to order another round.
This inattention led to another more serious problem when I got my bill and I found a drink on it from another table. Yes, just one mistake, and just for a few dollars, but it was caused by a new guy trying to figure out the register, while his cooworkers just ignored him (we witnessed this. Other bartenders were inexplicably hand washing dozens and dozens of glasses in the bar sink rather assist him). No one was rude, it's just that they obviously weren't interested in doing there jobs at anything other than a minimal level. Probably OK for the drink-your-face off frat crowd, but not good enough for actual adults,
