| - Went there over the weekend for the Southern Tier Tap Takeover... wow, what a disappointment. This place is soulless! Sports! Big Screen TVs! Little TVs on your table! Jocks! Douches! Meatheads! All the things we've all come to love about sports bars... every cliche, every character, every stereotype, you will certainly find it here!
The tap take over was a total bust. Nobody from the craft beer world was there. The place was fairly empty for a Friday evening. We went in and stood around, puzzled, for a bit before we were told we could sit wherever we wanted.
Again, pet peeve, our waitress didn't know anything about beer outside of the permanently on special Big 3 beers.
We ordered the Lucifer's Own wings and they were REALLY hot! But just about the most bland pieces of crap I'd ever tasted in my life. Even soaked in covered in what they pass for Bleu Cheese, they didn't have any flavor whatsoever. We noticed that any additional sides you want for your wings (dipping sauce, celery, etc) cost extra, no biggie, a lot of places do that. But it does suck when your order of 12 wings comes with THREE FREAKIN' CELERY pieces! That's just lame.
We had a couple of beers, finished dour wings and left. Never to return.
Also, parking is a nightmare here! This is an area of town I rarely, if ever go to, so maybe the natives will feel differently. But the sign on THE FRONT DOOR stating that the parking is in Berrybrook doesn't exactly help the person driving around in circles wondering which one of the Tow Away Signs surrounding the buildings sound like the least threatening to park for a couple of hours.
