| - I venture to Duke's every couple weeks for a couple beers and snackage. Overall, I've found it to be a pretty nice place.
I usually sit at the bar, but even when I've sat at a table, the service has been good. I will say the bartenders have to do more than their fair share, as the servers still aren't completely on top of things. Lacey and Erica are both cool and take good care of you.
The food I've had has been fine. Now I've stuck with appetizers and pizza thus far, but both have been tasty. Also, when I've gotten food, I've always been asked how it was by management or staff, which is nice to see.
Beer selection is good. Plenty of domestics to choose from, as well as some imports and craft.
They have poker, trivia and UFC. I'm not a fan of any of those, but it's good to see some activities. I'd like to see some live music (even acoustic would be fine), but I understand there's an issue with the lease (thanks to McDuffy's having burned some bridges in the past). Never hurts to wish.
If you're in the area, and looking for a neighborhood bar, give this place a try. They seem to be getting the kinks worked out, and business appears to have slowly increased.
