| - Just got back from The Vig (on a Wednesday night), and I must admit it was a damn good place. First off, how can you not love a place with its own bocce ball court outside? Second off, the menu is full of wonderful food selections, and it's really not that expensive (most items for under $10, including a damn good bacon cheeseburger). Third off, three words: sweet potato fries. They were to die for.
I sat outside on the patio, which was a great atmosphere with lots of people gathered around their tables or sitting on the couches in the "lounge" area just having a good time with those they were with. A mix of couples, girls on a "girls night out" and groups of people there after work filled the place. Slightly more of an upscale crowd that what I'm used to (could be expected since it boarders the Arcadia district), but it did not seem that pretentious. Most people were still in jeans, a prerequisite for most places that I go. A good mix of people made this great. Indoors included a long bar and plenty of booths for seating, complete with 2 large flat-screens for watching the game.
Full bar, good beer selection, a DJ that was spinning decent lounge-like tunes, and very attentive (and cute) staff. Parking on the lot can be a bit difficult, since it is tiny and I think all valet, but there is plenty of parking across the street in the Bally's lot. Pay attention to the signs, because on weekdays they might tow you if you are not parked in the right area. Or you can avoid that all together and take advantage of their shuttle service on the weekends (call them for details).
