| - I hear this is the kind of place you go to have a random-ass, good time. Well, that's true, with their huge patio--but I don't think I'll be coming back for food.
The man and I stopped here for a quick bite before our thrift/vintage shopping spree... you know, to fuel up! The server was nice, but totally overwhelmed with just three tables to serve. Beyond that, the service was painfully slow.
When we finally got our food, it was really subpar. My partner's hamburger was a square-shaped, grey patty. My fajitas were burnt to a crisp and had a funny taste, although the chicken was nicely cooked. It was just... not good. In fact, the man next to us must have been new to this place and shouted, "It feels like I'm eating inside of someone's old boat shoe." I don't think it was that bad, but he seemed to think so..
I will say that I hear their wings are pretty good, so maybe if I ever eat here again, I'll stick to those. I saw two men at the end of the bar enjoying them and I didn't hear a peep out of 'em!
I can see the allure of Around The Corner for great, late night (and cheap) drinks on their patio. I've been here in the summer and the most silly, unexpected and fun things seem to happen out there! It really is a hoot to see, so don't focus on the food. I mean, it's just pub-grub anyways.
P.S. The bathrooms seem to have been redone recently and aren't nearly as bad as I'm guessing they used to be based on what I read.
