| - Interesting new sports bar on 17th. It's big and spacious with pretty nice staff. Hostess was helpful and server actually remembered everything we ordered even though she didn't write any of it down. They have arcade games which is super fun and a few tvs scattered around. We ordered a few appies before the rest of our friends got there and they arrived as soon as they sat down. We got supreme fries, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, beef tartare, and popcorn shrimp. These were really good... I was surprised. Although the popcorn shrimp has actual popcorn on them, which they could have done without. We also got a bottle of the Malbec. Pretty good!
We ordered mains - Mac and cheese, Caesar salad, quinoa salad, hot dog, pulled chicken sandwich, and a burger... Expecting a great performance as the starters were so yummy... Kinda disappointed! Mac and cheese was so salty... The toppings added salt to the already salty cheese so I had to down a bunch of water after every bite. Caesar salad.. NOT what I was expecting. I guess I should have read the description more closely, since their menu isn't really a regular everyday pub menu so I guess it's my fault. The grilled romaine hearts were gross. Hard on one end and super soggy on the other from the dressing that wasn't very good. And the croutons...SO hard and chewy. And I usually love croutons :( Toasted quinoa salad.. Came in a jar, tons of quinoa.. Something I could make at home if I wanted to be boring. Burger.. Meh.. Pulled chicken.. Meh.. Hot dog was ok would maybe order it again. I don't think any of us finished our food. But we washed it all down with some more Malbec and some beer, so all good!
All in all, a good experience. We didn't leave hungry, but it was pretty expensive. May be back to check out their happy hour and try some more appies. And free games on Sundays! I think a Sunday funday is in order.
