| - I went here for drinks and appetizers with friends last week... we had heard such great things about the bar and were truly looking forward to checking it out.
The ambiance is interesting, I love the open concept - it's nice to feel the air moving through the entire building. The problem with this is that the cigar smoke also moves through the bar (however, smoking is only allowed at specific times). They have an abundance of seating, lots of tables - and for a bar on W 25th, this is rare. The high ceiling are great, however, they turn all the chatter into a loud babel - even on a quiet night. At our table of 4, we had a difficult time conversing... we found ourselves raising our voices and straining to hear each other (on a weekday night)
The night we were there the entire draft system was out. Therefore we were only able to choose from a relatively small list of bottled beer. This was not a huge problem, as they did have some brews that were "new" to us. Unfortunately, they were also new to our server. When asked about one beer he said "it's kind of like a wheat beer, except that it's not". With that ever so helpful bit of advice, our night spiraled down hill. We ordered two flatbreads to share... the fig & prosciutto was overly sweet and somewhat dry (it was the better of the two, but I wouldn't order it again), the bbq chicken was nothing like what we expected, it was completely underwhelming. All of the ingredients seemed right, and interesting - but it just didn't come together.
Our server needs additional training, he was very slow, and lacking knowledge about the bar and menu. Granted, this bar is new, and it can take awhile to learn how to provide good service. Saving grace? The hostess was incredibly gracious, and when I spoke with her about needing to retrain the server she was appreciative for the knowledge, and apologetic for the service.
Between the 4 of us we ordered 1 bourbon, 1 cocktail, 2 beers, and 2 flatbreads... our receipt (which took forever to get) was well over $60. It was not itemized, and we are 100% sure that our server padded the bill with an extra drink (we did the math a few times, but had taken our friends out and didn't want to cause a scene).
I wanted to give this business 1 star, however - many of our friends have said that the experience we had was not a good representation of townhall. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and give it 2 stars... advice? check your bill, and check them out in a month or two when their servers have more experience.
