| - I came here because I wanted to watch the World Series and have a few beers and dinner. This place has one long bar against the side of the building with maybe 15 or so seats, some high tables in the room with the bar, a separate room with some tables, and then an upstairs area that I think is reserved for private parties. There was nothing special that attracted me about the setting or ambience, other than the fact that the bar was crowded and loud.
Seating was tight at the bar, but I was lucky to find one open spot. I sat down and waited to place a beer order while I watched some other patrons who came in after me get their orders taken. It took a while to have my existence acknowledged.
It looked like they had a few good craft beers but I settled for a Yuengling, which had a special price of $4 that night. In some bars, $4 is just about the regular price of Yuengling. I was served the beer in a plastic cup.
A Penguins game came on so they switched all three screens behind the bar to that game instead of the World Series
Pre-game that they had on previously. There were no viewing choices if you sat at the bar--it was hockey or bust. They did keep the baseball game in another screen behind the bar, but I would have to turn around to watch it.
I ordered a Chicken Asiago sandwich, which was normally $11.95 but was $2 off on Saturdays. The sandwich was not too appetizing to me. It came on a generic hamburger bun and the chicken meat did not seem too good quality. It was smothered with the cheese. The sandwich came with a bunch of fries, and I didn't seen any options for sides, not even chips. I don't really think this sandwich is worth spending $11.95.
I might give this place another shot if it was closer, but don't think it's worth going out of the way for it.
