| - I'm torn. I truly went into this location knowing a lot of negatives from past visits, and we are talking years of past experiences. My husband and I basically boycotted Bocktown for their prices and lack of happy hour specials, and, for most of 2012, crappy slow service.
So, we ventured there tonight predicting a place that would produce a negative review. I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, we have our list of negatives, but our food and the service were decent. That was a nice change from years past.
1. The parking lot is a stage for a crime.
Please please please get more lighting! It's a dangerous world we're living in. The parking lot is scary dark.
2. Light up your restaurant!
In addition to a dark parking lot, Bocktown has tinted windows, so you may have a hard time finding it. The neon beer signs help, but the location is just different.
3. Can't read the drink board.
I am all about the chalkboard list, but when the light is so bright that it creates a glare, what's the point? Ditch the paper menus. Waste, since they can't ever keep up with the rotation.
Positives:
1. Thanks for losing some of the pretentiousness.
2. Service was very prompt tonight.
3. Food was great. Got the "popper dip" app, and it was solid. Not texturally solid, just rating of "solid". I was very pleased.
To Bocktown, I still challenge you to offer specials. Somehow, some way, lower your prices on something from time to time. You're in Pittsburgh. That's what we do.
