I was excited to check out The Rhino because I had heard good things about the place! I swear!
But man oh man...was it ever a disappointment.
THE INFAMOUS PATIO
Okay, so the patio is actually just a giant concrete courtyard. There aren't any nice tables...or benches...or pretty little lights. It's a straight up courtyard with shitty tables and chairs. So if you're looking for a nice PATIO, this is not the place to come. It's also very dark because, again...it's a courtyard not meant for people to enjoy a few drinks. There are no lights out there, making it very difficult to read the menu.
THE BEERS
The beers on tap were only so so. Not too fond of the selection. Sure, they've got a big-ish selection of bottled beers...but it's summer time! I want a pint!
SERVICE
Our server was really nice and patient. The thing was that she didn't know anything about the beers she was selling. We asked her about three different kinds of the draft beers and she didn't know a thing except that a customer had ordered one of the three earlier and really liked it. She also told me that their chicken wings were really good...which brings me to my next point...
THEIR CHICKEN WINGS
...were awful. They were over-fried and dried out. The sauces were obviously mass-produced and probably came in a giant vat. The only redeeming thing about the wings were that they were cheeeeap (20 wings for $12). So if you're looking for something filling and cheap, this is it. I couldn't stomach all that grossness, though.
TWO REDEEMING QUALITIES...
1. the view from the patio is actually quite nice. The sides of the neighbouring buildings had such a nice, urban feel to them. So just remember to look UP and not ACROSS the patio. That's the key.
2. cheap beer. $5.10 for a pint. $3.50 for a shot.
