| - So first off, this place was a little difficult to find because you can't see the bar's name that clearly from the street (it was in large writing on the door however, which is a side entrance - not too helpful). But once we found it with the bar's address, we were excited to see what Snakes and Lagers had to offer; we're already fans of Snakes and Lattes! (Though recently, S&Lattes has had a huge wait time - last time we went, it was about 45min-1hr.) We checked this place out with the venture of drinks while board gaming and less wait time.
Apparently when we went, it was a preview night? When you go to the website, there's a countdown to when the bar will officially open. This joint is very small - narrow, even and could fit roughly 20 people. That being said, it was already quite busy there, and the only seats that were available were right by the door. My boyfriend had a cold and this would have made him feel worse. That's out of our control however.
For food I ordered the kale and chickpea salad which came in an adorable baby mason jar with a snap lid and was delicious. My boyfriend had the fried brussell sprouts which was equally amazing, served in a cute frying pan. Both were $4.50 each on the sides menu. Were they worth it? You're paying for quality, not serving amount. As for the drinks which we were curious to try, they were damn expensive ($8-$10) considering if people wanna stay for a few hours and keep a good buzz going. I suggest pre-drinking and coming here instead. Drinks seemed a disappointment cuz that's one of the reasons we wanted to go.
While waiting for our food, we were notified that there are more games upstairs which actually had WAY more space than downstairs and there are more game choices. Maybe they will open this place up too once the bar opens officially? Either way, we really wished they had some bartenders/people to recommend games upstairs as well, cuz we would've rather played there for the breathing room. Plus, the only bathrooms in this bar are upstairs.
We brought down two games we wanted to play and immediately our waitress took them away because they were "party games" aka 4 or more players. She instead brought us some 2 player games that weren't as exciting - we'd tried these games at S&Lattes before. When I asked what would happen if we tried to play a party game, she said it simply "won't work". We were both like wtf... So I guess they simply refuse to let you play the games you want? As far as we knew, there was no waitlist/priority given to groups who wanted those specific games so I saw no reason for her to take them away or at least letting us try to play them. All the other games were very meh so we didn't even bother playing. We finished our food and asked the gentleman who sat us if they were still going to charge us the entry fee of $5 if we didn't play any games; he kindly said no, waived the fees and we got our bill. No tip for the waitress, sorry.
We tried really hard to make the best of our situation but it just went downhill from the seating. Only good thing going for this place is the food quality. Unfortunately, this is the first time we walked out of a restaurant. I suggest you just go to S&Lattes, write your name down on the waiting list, and come back after an hour. This place isn't worth it.
TLDR; same entry price as S&Lattes ($5). Food is expensive, small amount, but great quality. Drinks were too expensive, don't bother. Okay selection of games. Wish they'd open up the upstairs lounge. Buzzkill waitress had bad customer service. Stick with S&Lattes.
