| - I wanted to like District, but there are quite a few fatal flaws to this place. I think the only redeeming quality at all is their Brew Brothers Beer.
Maybe it all came down to how we were received, but aside from tweeting 5 hours before heading down asking about kitchen hours, and not receiving a response. Still. To taking the only vacant table in the whole establishment which was:
1) right next to the kitchen
2) next to the where the servers wrap cutlery and I mean literally right next to.
3) had several servers come by to wrap cutlery and no one addressed us.
It wasn't until (who I assume was) the manager came out of the kitchen after about 15 mins and asked if we had been served. I said no and instead of asking what she could grab us, blamed shift changes and went off to find who the hell was supposed to be serving our section.
Finally, we had a server, I ordered some of their lovely Brew Brothers, I do like how it is served in a mason jar, but for the price I feel it is too small of a serving vessel.
I get the notion that District is trying to find a niche by covering all possible bases. 'We brew beer, we don't like menus, look at our kooky chalkboards with our ever changing menu of stuff we will never perfect, oh and look, we LOVE BACON, everyone loves bacon, so you'll love us!'
Can I say, District's bacon is not good. If you like almost burnt bacon where there is no texture and you could potentially chip a tooth while attempting to eat a piece, then this is your cup of tea. I can not think of a more unappealing thought than trying to eat their bucket of bacon. But some people do, and I saw quite a few people seated nearby order it.
I ordered the mac and cheese and my other half ordered their chicken club.
My mac and cheese was kind of like cheese noodle soup, it was supposed to have bacon and some over stuff. The only bacon I got in here were chunks of bacon fat accompanied by some long strips of garlic clove.
It came with a side salad where the dressing was almost non-existent, so i just didn't bother trying more than a bite.
The chicken club looked really good, and the fries were nice as well as their house ketchup, which is more like tomato chili jam. I ended up pouring some of that into my mac and cheese. The tomatoes they used on the club were really beautifully red and fresh and I thought he was thoroughly enjoying his sandwich, until he told me they had burned the bread on one side (sandwich side in) and his last few bites were just char, ruining the beginning promise of club sandwich goodness .
I ordered a bacon caesar after my beer, which means you don't get any pickled stuff and you just get a famous slice of burned bacon stuck to the top of your rim. The caesar was spicy though and nice, but a mason jar isn't really conducive to drinking with a cocktail full of ice and no straw. I was wiping my nose after every drink after the first couple sips (from the ice hitting my face, not the spice).
Food was underwhelming, drinks were okay and someone threw up in the urinal in the men's bathroom and we had to listen to one of the cutlery wrapping servers discuss its clean up with another staff member while we ate.
I am not really impressed, especially at your social media team. It's pretty lack luster when they don't check your direct @ mentions on one of your busiest nights when that is probably what you pay them for. ie) customer service.
District is just a night club that decided they wanted to serve food all the time.
