| - My husband and I went here last night (and the fact that we are married probably indirectly implies that we were the oldest people there) but I was instantly enamored because they were playing Greenday, circa 1994. While probably no one else there knew that Billie Joe used to have a nose ring, purple hair, no eye liner and look oh so cute, I will forever have great appreciation and affection for Basket Case.
Anyway, we were drawn to this restaurant by Groupon and the beer selection. The outdoor seating was a plus because nothing beats a cocktail, except for a cocktail on a patio. This restaurant is blocks away from the main drag though, so I think in normal conditions, people watching would be sub-par.
However, last night was not normal conditions -- it was coincidentally also the night of the underwear run, which, from what I could gather, is a run (race?) exclusively of college students, wearing nothing but underwear. We saw a collection of interesting underwear pass our table...and while some may find a butt cheek to be unappetizing during dinner, I found it amusing - paired with the trivia questions offered on a 5-10 minute interval from the bar staff, dinner was nothing short of entertaining.
And while the menu was typical of what you would expect from a bar, I think the food was tasty and well priced. I had chicken and my husband had a burger. The french fries were widely cut and as he described, "perfect, and spiced somehow." We also had chips and salsa. The salsa was spicy and the chips were extra salty (I love salt).
I give this place 5 stars for music and 3 stars for food and drink. I like the large patio and both inside and outside seating at the bar...but I think without the underwear run, it may have been a little boring on the people watching scale.
