We stopped in pickles and pints for a plan and work party. They had a buffet line prepared of various appetizers and all those were about as good as could be expected, everything was tasty hot work needed to be cool where needed to be. Couple things that I noticed is that the place was about half full a lot of other Christmas party goers and they ran out of beer glasses. How is a bar, that is half full, run out of 16 ounce pint beer glasses?
My second issue always seems to be a recurring issue amongst bars. The bathrooms. At pickles and pints they have to rest rooms for men coded number 1 and number 2 urinals and stools for obvious reasons . I did not go in the room mark with a number 2. The door is poorly placed as when you open it it should open out and not in because the bathroom is exceptionally small and anyone trying to wash their hands would get potentially hit by the door. And they have a cheapo bathroom light fixture from a residence in there and one of the bulbs was burned out. Now I don't need the bathroom to be super duper bright, but my obsessive compulsive this requires that burned out light bulbs be changed and it drove me nuts.
Other than that, I don't feel it was spectacular or awful. 3 stars is a pretty good review to get and if I could give three and a half stars they would get it.
