| - I have been here a number of times and have driven by a million times at least. They have a lot of awesome sounding live music outside. Speaking of which, their outside patio area very spacious, and really cool looking for it to be so simplified.
The inside atmosphere, to me, is more sports bar, rather than the "biker bar" type of places they kind of pretend to be. They do have a motorcycle body hanging from the ceiling and the flyers and decorations around the room are biker oriented, but really, it's more sporty.
They have a lot of tvs and one of the factors that make them unique, or so I'm told, is that they play every NFL game.
Another positive is the beer variety. They have a HUGE selection to choose from and if you love trying new things like I do, you are bound to find some new beers to try on this list. Decision overload!
The food is tasty. I've had their salads, their burgers (including the vespa veggie burger), a fish sandwich, and their chili, as well as fries. I've found all of it to be pleasing. The prices are right on.
Negatives.
The type of people they draw in aren't really my type of people. Lots of aggressive looking people in khakis, untucked button down shirts with the top button unbuttoned, and sandals, with well groomed hair cuts, resting asshole face with a gleam of smugness and mostly making aggressive, loud outbursts that makes their friends around them happy.... especially the empty looking women who probably at one point in their lives pretended they were one of the women from Sex in the City and deep down think that their self-worth depends on how well they can S.A.D. Basically, the types of cool guy frat boys who look really successful but also narcissistic, and the shallow, sheepish women type that everyone else in the world love (just not as much as they love themselves). I don't though. Maybe I'm the asshole. A judgmental asshole. But most of us are so F.U.
This of course is not everyone there, but lots. Every time I've come here, it's been lots. Regardless, not my atmosphere.
I've been bumped into a lot here as the inside is super crowded. Really REALLY crowded. The tables and chairs are packed in way too tightly. Even over the loud murmur of crowd noise you can somehow hear your neighbors conversations better than the person or people at your own table. I am not exaggerating this. The parking lot is worse. They should move to a larger location.
I swear that the last time I came here, that my waitress was high as hell for the second half of our little unfortunate adventure with her. For one she sucked. She was slow, and very aloof. We didn't see her very long periods at a time. I even heard people at a nearby table (like 1 foot away) mention that she sucks too and so it wasn't just me. After her disappearance, I was relieved to see her because, well, we were wondering if she was okay at this point. She was. She was more than okay, as she was clearly blazed, which explains her prolonged absence. We got our check and she brought back our receipts, but no my debit card. Her potheadedness must have rubbed off on me because I didn't realize that she didn't bring my card back until later that night.
Nothing wrong with that. I used to smoke the devil's lettuce too, back in the day, but I also believe that weed amplifies the negative aspects of one's personality and if she already was a crappy waitress then being high just made her ten times worse and she shouldn't be trusted with people's debit cards. :)
Overall, the atmosphere just isn't for me. I tried coming here a few times thinking it would be a nice go-to place for a beer and whatever, but I will pass this place up more often than decide to eat here. I give it an A-Ok, but am not a fan (3 of 5 stars).
