| - Unlike many people, we miss the old Outside Inn, so we zipped down Hualapai to try out its replacement.
The big space seems a little bigger now, but maybe because it's a bit more industrial-looking. It's strictly seat-yourself, with a small smoking section of tables set further from the bar than than the non-smoking ones. Makes no sense at all, since the non-smoking ones are closer to the smoking-okay bar. But for you fumiphobes out there, they do have a powerful ventilation system, and we didn't smell anything other than food and beer.
When in a pub, I usually order cider instead of wine. Why? 1. More drink for the dollar. 2. It's usually on tap. 3. Since I'm so little, I can get a buzz from anything. Call me un-American, but I just don't like beer. At first I was disappointed that the only cider they had was Strongbow, since I thought it was one that was too dry for my taste. But after our server, Jen, brought me some to sample, I realized that I was thinking of some other brand. This was just the kind I like. Hubby had a pilsner, which he enjoyed.
I threw diet to the winds (so what else is new?) and ordered a California Reuben, which is made with cole slaw, rather than sauerkraut. Herb went even more whole hog, and got the pastrami burger. We both agree that this is the best pastrami we've had since we moved to Vegas - tender, lean, and delicious. Not as smoky as New York pastrami, but that'll never happen here. Still, The Pint's pastrami is #1 West of the Rockies in our book, and we know from pastrami.
The burger was freshly made, and on a roll that looked incredibly shiny and wonderful, though I forgot to taste it; I was too busy inhaling my own sammich. He loved it, and it didn't turn into a soggy mess. He also ordered a side salad ($3 upcharge), and it was a big bowl of greens, with some carrots, and cucumber and tomato dice as garnish. His burger came with a choice of slaw, fries, or sweet potato fries (no upcharge!), and he was able to get a mix of the regular and s.p. fries. The regular ones were just ordinary, but the sweet potato fries were outstanding, and I don't usually like them!
What I like about The Pint is that, although the menu isn't all that large (e.g., there are only 5 dinner entrees offered), almost all of the food is freshly made. And that includes the burgers, buns and, I think, the s.p. fries, too, which is why they tasted like real sweet potatoes.
Our waitress, Jen, was excellent and professional, though she pissed me off a bit when she carded a group of eight, but not us. (That is a joke, but if I have to explain...).
We'll be back, but it'll be hard to try anything else, because I know we'll be jonesin' for that pastrami!
