| - All hail the return of fantastic customer service. *3.5 stars
Not so long ago, I had a hard ban on a single St Louis location and then extended it to the chain after terrible visit at a second location, however, desperate times call for desperate measures: when my first though eighth venues for UFC 129 viewing fell through, I found myself breaking my own rules at the Danforth location.
The bar was much nicer than the other franchise locations: good use of a small space and plenty of big, bright TVs.
The staff, including the manager, were on their game even though the place was packed. From never letting a beer glass empty, to actually pouring our beer because we were "busy watching the fight", I was astounded.
To be fair, because it was a big UFC event, I'm sure that the bar had their A-staff working and there was definitely some hired scenery as well, so I can't guarantee that the next visit will be the same.
Food and beverage selection was solid as well. 10'ish beers on tap, though slightly expensive, and a big menu with really tasty wings (smoked BBQ heat).
On the note of expensive beer, after responding to the manager that we switched from brand A to brand B because A was overpriced, he invited us back this week for some freebies courtesy of brand A's sales rep. I know that doesn't fix the problem, but it certainly has me thinking that I should be a regular customer.
Well-played St Louis.
