| - "What the hell is a sports bistro?" This was my thought when I heard about this place from others.
In essence, it's name really says a lot, but it's more about the food and drink than it is about the sports. I understand the theme they were trying to go for, but it just doesn't work with their location.
First, the location is really difficult to find. It's upstairs above a mill ave. pool hall. You need to take the stairs or escalator to get up there. It must have an elevator as well I assume.
The drink prices are dirt cheap at certain times during the day. I went a couple of nights and had 25 cent wells for about an hour, then they jumped up to a dollar after that I think.
I've only eaten there once, but it was to die for. I had the ribs, cole slaw, salad and another side that I can't really remember. The ribs were great, falling off the bone. It wasn't down home BBQ, but it was definitely better than a place like chili's.
Some nights they have a dj and dancing. Didn't really care for the dj that they had the night I was there, he kept cutting good songs short and would only play them for abou a minute.
The patio is a great place to people watch. The service is hit or miss. If you sit at the bar, you are assured of getting decent to good service, otherwise forget about it.
Overall, I would go back, but it wouldn't be a first choice on an average weekend.
