| - Last night, I found myself at the James Street Gastropub, and I was blown away. What a cool place tucked away in North Side!
First off, the interior is very cool. Lots of wood and really neat architecture. The upstairs is very class with a large bar and lots of booths and tables. Downstairs, in the Speakeasy, there's a very cool bar that mixes modern architecture with Prohibition accents. There's also a very nice stage with lots of tables and booths. While no one was performing when I was there, I was surprised by how clean and well lit the area was. Also, the staff is topnotch in their crisp black uniforms.
Make sure you check out their beer and alcohol selection. Tons of local craft beers, and there were spirits there that I've never heard of.
As for the food, the menu is filled with classic Americana and modern dishes. I had the meatloaf entree, which included two slabs of dense and tasty meatloaf, red skin mashed potatoes, a cheesy grits gravy, and corn fritters. At $16, it seemed pricey on the menu, but it is well worth the cost. There are lots of items to choose from including crazy appetizers, sandwiches, burgers (I want to try the sweet meats burger next).
Next time you're in North Side, stop by and check this place out!
