Okay, so it has taken me forever to get out to this place but finally made it a few days ago. It's strange that others have some terrible reviews of this place and from what I hear around town a lot of people certainly don't speak as highly about their experiences here compared to mine.
We were here on a Wednesday which is apparently one of TWO weekly trivia events held here. The crowd was pretty large but everyone had a table and it didn't seem overcrowded. It's actually worth mentioning that we never once felt we were neglected by our server. In fact, our server offered some of the better service I've experienced in quite some time. We were always asked if we needed an another beer at the perfect time and checked on just enough times without being annoying.
The food here exceeded our expectations by quite a bit. I split the Bleu Cheese Burger and an order of chicken tenders tossed in their hottest hot sauce. As far as I'm concerned they nailed both of these orders. Apparently the burgers are all made in-house (not frozen patties from a distributor) and it certainly made a difference. Flavor of the burger and the addition of the blue cheese was great. The tenders were great as well and I don't think I'd ever recommend tenders without tossing them in some type of sauce.
As for the atmosphere, which I've heard many complain specifically about, I personally saw no problem and actually had a good experience here. It wasn't super dark like many bars of the same caliber in town, the service was great, the food was good and it wasn't super loud at any point. I'll need to pop in here on a weekend to see if the vibe is any different as I'd expect it to be vs. a Wednesday but in general very pleased with this place for a bite to eat and a few beer.
Oh! And it's worth mentioning that it looks like they have some pretty great deals on beer as well as a pretty good selection. Monday's are 1/2 of Drafts AND the same goes for Tuesdays.
