| - Unique gastropub this is not. Any restaurant that needs to specifically state on it's website the following:
"the chefs on the line with silver-studded ears and mohawk hairdo, to the inked-up, decked-out bar staff mixologists shaking and stirring some of the most creative cocktails, we're all dropouts here.,"
I find to be totally ridiculous marketing nonsense. Silly me, I didn't realize that those individuals with multiple earrings and tattoos should be considered dropouts. In that case, I guess I should give up my M.S. degree and professional career because I have a lot of ear piercings and tattoos as well. Now, onto the food. I had the garden kale salad. It was uninspired. Nothing I couldn't have easily made at home and probably would have done a better job. For an appetizer, I sampled the pretzels with the provolone fondue. As expected, they were just as dull as they were when I tried them at sister restaurant Arrogant Butcher. The atmosphere is loud and you can play games here. I guess cause that is what dropouts do. They have mohawks, mix drinks, and play ping pong. Maybe its just me, but I just find it really stupid and annoying that Fox restaurant group specifically created a concept and restaurant idea based around this notion. Instead of trying way too hard to be clever, I think they should focus on improving the mediocre service and the boring menu.
