| - Fibber's has always been a decent go-to Irish pub. Good service, good beer and liquor selection and a decent menu. The Happy Hour specials are pretty solid as well.
I've noticed over the past year or so that while they've continued to provide a good selection of beers and booze, they food side of things has declined a bit. A good example would be the "Reuben Bar". I think it's cool you can pick your bread, (Marble Rye, Multigrain or sourdough), meat (Pastrami, corned beef or turkey), then your choice of slaw or kraut as a garnish.
Over the last two weeks, they've been out of various bread options and when the sandwich arrives, it's skinny...my last one probably had two, maybe three slices of pastrami on it, but pretty darn thin, with a sprinkling of kraut. Tasted good, but for $10 I guess I expect a heartier sandwich. You can order extra meet for $2, but that would probably get it just about to the point of the normal amount of meat I would expect on a sandwich at that cost. Not sure why the side salad in place of fries is a $1 more, given the cost of lettuce.
For a $1 more I could have ordered the meatloaf dinner that comes with fresh green beans and mashed potatoes. Seems like a much better value.
Service is pretty good overall and I'm sure the servers probably aren't too thrilled with the trivia night crowd on Tuesdays as they don't seem to buy a lot of beer or booze.
Will I continue to go for trivia night on Tuesdays? Yes.
Given the choice of Fibbers, Casey's or Rula, Fibbers would not be my first choice.
