| - Well, Steamers is alright. I've been told it's a little bit of a Yesteryears 2.0 (I never got to enjoy the original, but I feel like I would have) and a few of the regulars have made this their new spot - but this will definitely just be a once in a while bar for me.
It's oddly laid out with multiple doorways, breaking it down into a game room (pool tables etc), more of a bar space, and then lots of tables - with 103 TVs lining the ceiling (no I didn't count, our server informed us of this). They even have TVs in the smoking area outside. The whole place was ridiculously clean, I was really quite surprised. They have karaoke on the weekends (why we were there), and although it took them a while to start calling our group's songs, it didn't seem like an unreasonable wait.
Service was pretty good, our server started out a little rough around the edges but by the end of the night I think he warmed up to us. The drinks were maybe slightly more expensive than anticipated (but they did have an okay beer special), but nothing was on the weak side, and he and the rest of the bar staff catered to our odd shot requests.
Other than the location, the fact that I can't wrap my head around the set-up is keeping me from really liking it. I'm sure during the day with different lighting and as more of a restaurant it probably has a completely different feeling, but for a random karaoke night - it's not too bad either (or if you need to watch twenty things at the same time).
