| - Five friends and I made a last minute decision to go to 1947 on a Tuesday night around 7 (I think everyone was at Harris Grill for bacon night, so that's a good time to come!) and the host very, very sweetly gathered together hightop tables from one end of the restaurant to the other, as if nothing was carried at all to accommodate us. Accommodating they were, this is a great neighborhood restaurant, much like its Bites & Brews and Elbow Room fellows.
The cocktails start at $5 (and I highly recommend the French 47) and are pretty well crafted as of the time of writing. We were won over by the season beer, not only because it was good, but because it was only $3. The selections of whiskeys aren't exactly mind-blowing (for this you have to go to Winghart's), but they are very respectable.
I got the special burger for the evening, BBQ and Bacon ($11) and it was great. All the sandwiches came with a thankfully small, but delicious, side of steak fries.
Some things were a little more expensive than I was willing to go for, but I can't judge as to whether or not they're worth it.
We all agreed that we can't wait to come back just to try more things on the menu. Don't come in with high expectations of a grand dining experience and you'll be happy with your laid back dinner with good food and good drinks.
