Joe's is still killer. Best wings ever and they don't give you the stink eye if you order food at 1:50 am (NOT that I recommend this -- we in the food industry know it's not polite to do this less than 15-20 min prior to closing unless absolutely necessary for survival, lol). Just saying, they're professionals which is extremely rare for a casual place...
Behind the bar hopefully you'll find Bevin; come here once or twice and she'll remember what you like to eat/drink. As for servers, no one knows the menu more than Chris. Just as importantly, I believe their backbone is Geraldo ("G" or "Suave" as I've heard him called); without him the place would not run so smoothly. Wine & beer menus continue to be refreshingly unique and well thought-out. And where else can you enjoy 40oz of beer in house or TO GO?? Whaaaaaaaat???
