| - Eh, to be honest, as much fun as I had partying with my fellow Yelpers on Sunday, I can't give this place a sparkling review. As much as I'd love to give a neighborhood sports bar props, this place just did too many things wrong for me to comply.
Went there with a bunch rowdy Yelpers to watch the NFC Championship game on Sunday and was fairly disappointed. For starters, as a sports bar and Cardinals viewing destination that had been promoting themselves as "the place to watch the big game," they seemed grossly unprepared for the crowd they got.
For starters, I sat at my table for about 15 minutes before I gave up on a server coming over to take my drink/food order, and went up to the bar to order and take the middleman out of the equation. Only when I went up to the bar did I learn that they had run out of glasses!!!
This is where it gets good though. Their drink specials that I was interested in were their $2.50 20 oz domestic drafts, pretty good deal if you ask me. And since they had run out of glasses (definitely not my fault as I am not their barware supplier) and the bartender asked me to get a bottle instead, I naiively assumed they would honor at least a similar deal to the one that they were promoting.
This is where I was SORELY mistaken. Not only did they not give me my 12 oz bottle for the same price as the 20 oz draft that they were unable to serve me, they actually had the nerve to upcharge me to $3 per bottle!!!
Needless to say, I was a bit incensed. And it had nothing to do with the extra 50 cents per drink, I just thought it was poor business practice...a bit of a bait and switch, if you will.
After the initial poor service and swindling of my hard earned $$, the bar ended up being okay. Of course I will have to attribute at least 75% of this to the wonderful company of my yelp compadres, who I hate to disappoint with my less than stellar review, but I have to keep it real. The TVs were big and plentiful, the food was fair. I ordered a Buffalo Chicken Wrap which wasn't bad but my fries were SUPER cold and therefore inedible to me. But the bar's sorry excuse for a smoking section is what threw me over the edge and made me want to puke on more than one occasion.
We had the bad luck of being sat in the general vicinity of the door that led outside to the smoking section, and every time the door was opened either by a server or a patron, you could literally see plumes and plumes of smoke wafting into the restaurant. It was disgusting. I couldn't stay even 5 minutes longer after the Cards won to celebrate because I was coughing and my eyes were starting to water.
I am willing to give Gallaghers 1 more shot under the parameters that there can be no special event going on because they were terribly ill equipped to handle it, and mainly due to the fact that they had tons of TVs and it is relatively close to my house.
As long as the don't run out of glasses again of course...
