| - If you like beer and are committed to spending a thousand dollars completing your beer passport in order to get a hoodie, then you'd probably love this place. If you're looking for a place with good food, good service, and a decent booze list then there are a bunch of better places to go.
I was here recently with a bunch of friends for a birthday and while it was nice that it wasn't crazy busy, this didn't translate into a good level of service. However, my main complaint was the food. I asked the waitress what kind of wings they have and she said they are "the best wings ever". Now, to be fair they are listed on the menu and "the best wings ever" but let's be serious. That is a bold statement my friends, and it's one that BSB has zero business making.
For $13.50, I definitely expect above average wings. I also expect more than 7 wings, that the salt and pepper flavour will have both salt AND pepper, and that the proportion of breading to chicken be such that chicken is actually in a bite of wing. Well, apparently all of these things are not reasonable when you're having the best wings ever. When the server asked us about the wings I did mention that I felt that 7 very average wings for $13.50 left me a little disappointed, she did point out that the wings filled the plate and suggested I order more food.
(Sidebar: The plates are super skinny rectangles that allow you to put very little food on the plate and still serve a "full plate". Well guess what, I do this trick at home when I'm purposely trying to trick myself into eating less. Just because the wings are served on a plate the size of a coaster doesn't mean they are delicious, or....LOL "the best wings ever".)
We were still hungry because 3.5 wings each does not a satisfying dinner make so we also ordered some calamari served on little plate too. It was better than the wings but maybe that's because I had filled up on the breaded portion of the wing.
After we ate, we entertained ourselves with a fun little game called "Can anyone actually sit down on the toilet in the women's washroom?" This was especially hilarious because the door to the stall is about 3 inches from the toilet. You'd think after my dinner on small plates I would have been able to fit, but I guess I ate too much.
Bottom line - Food and service leave a lot to be desired.
