Living and working in the area I admit this is one of the places I have no idea why I am not here more often. Their Happy Hour pricing and offerings are SUPER (Half off selected appetizers and reduced prices on beer and well drinks.)
Having a bit of time before a game I was committed to trying a place for Happy Hour that I had either not been to or don't go to often. I came here. Ordering a vodka soda with lime ( Well Vodka is Smirnoff) and Chicken Wings (naked w sauces on the side). My order was taken quickly and the service was friendly. [Sitting at the bar.]
When the wings arrived, I was impressed! There were *12*, yes a full dozen, plump, meaty chicken wings and drummies. These were not your typical breaded, dry, overcooked anorexic 8-10 pieces I have received at some of the other places downtown. Several sticks of celery and generous sides of ranch and hot sauce accompanied the wings.
Now you thought my 4 star rating was just the service, quality and quantity of food. Well it was that, in combination with the price that has me sold. When I looked at my tab, $4 for my drink and $5 for the wings. WHAT A VALUE!!!
Don't let the fact that this is located a very nice hotel intimidate you. It has a great casual, clean vibe and it has convenient access from the street (corner of Adams and 2nd St). [You can also go through the Main Lobby entrance and hang a left.]
This may become my main pregame stop.
